Chapter 743

Author: Lean
"What did you bump into?" Zachary and Charlotte asked almost simultaneously.

Jane couldn't remember the details clearly. She tried to recall. "When I was trying to break free from the seaweed, I think I saw a hand in the pile of seaweed, and my calf touched something cold and soft. I had already held my breath to the point of seeing stars, so I couldn’t see clearly what it was. I thought it was just a fish swimming by. As for that hand, I can't be sure if I was seeing things. As for the allergy, I really don’t have a history of allergies. Did the doctor say I was allergic?"

Zachary replied, "It’s still uncertain, we’re waiting for the test results."

Jane nodded and looked at Charlotte. "Charlotte, I know you care about me, but I have Zachary here. You should enjoy your honeymoon with Frank and not let me hold you back."

Charlotte shook her head. "Let’s go back to Jeswood. We’re all worried about you. It’s better to let Dr. Travis or Prof. Kilburn take a look."

    Roy said, "His son once went abroad to avoid trouble and encountered Nina, but there hasn’t been any close contact. We can’t definitively say that Miss Greenwood’s drowning was plotted by them." But Zachary had a gut feeling that things weren’t that simple. He felt guilty toward Nina, but if she intended to harm Jane, he wouldn’t let it slide easily. "You go and investigate further," he ordered. Roy nodded and left to carry out the task. The car arranged by Frank was already waiting. Jane and Charlotte shared one car, while Yasmin, with the child and Jason, took another. Frank didn’t rush to cuddle with his wife, instead, he sat alone in the car, waiting for Zachary for quite a while. So, when Zachary finally got in, Frank made it uncomfortable for him right away. "Two girls, Zachary, how do you plan to choose?" At this point, Zachary had indeed lost to Frank. This guy had liked Charlotte since childhood and still did. The two girls were the same person. In th

    Dr. Travis had lived to this age and had seen everything clearly, he felt no embarrassment saying whatever came to mind. Moreover, as a doctor, he had to be straightforward. "You've exhausted yourself too much. You need to take some time to rest and recover. And Mr. Collins, you can’t exhausted yourself either. Give yourself some time to rest too." Everyone was an adult, there was nothing difficult to understand here. While Dr. Travis spoke calmly, Zachary felt embarrassed. Saying such things in public still had a sense of shame attached to it. "Ahem, I’ve noted that," he cleared his throat. "Thank you, Dr. Travis." Dr. Travis stood up, putting away his small cushion. "There are no other issues. Just pay special attention to the allergens identified this time. Drowning has caused some pulmonary edema, so keep your diet light and take care of yourself during this period." Jane and Zachary saw Dr. Travis to his car, followed by Charlotte and Frank. After sending Dr. Tra

    They could always be precise.“Let’s eat, Zachary will handle it. There are some things I don’t want you to hear, and you don’t need to take it to heart. It probably isn’t anything good, we shouldn't internalize it.”Charlotte helped Jane with her food while providing comfort.Jane’s situation with Zachary was different from that with Frank.If they were to take the step towards marriage in the future, it would likely be a fierce battle.In the bathroom, Zachary lit a cigarette.On the other end, his mother was venting furiously, but he maintained one attitude.Nina must be sent abroad, Jane was not just a fleeting interest, he was serious about her.His mother was so infuriated that her blood pressure rose, and she had to take medication to continue talking to him.“What, are you willing to give up being the son of the Collins family and sever ties with us for her?”Zachary’s tone was unusually serious. “I will if I have to.”His mother took a deep breath, controlling her a

    Charlotte served Jane some food, helplessly saying, “When have I ever lied to you? It was indeed what he said. Are you reassured now?”She scrutinized Jane’s expression and changed the subject. “It looks like you’re serious about this?”Jane cocked her brows. “It’s just beginning, I haven’t thought that far ahead. I just want to have some certainty.”With certainty, she could know when to fall and when to wake up.She smiled. “For now, we should investigate the hotel incident thoroughly and see what’s really going on.”Although the surveillance footage hadn’t yielded results yet, Frank had already guessed quite a bit.With certain methods, they didn’t fear that Michael wouldn’t talk.But the key question was whether Zachary would use any means against Nina.If the two conspired, their testimonies had to be consistent.And this drowning incident was easy to guess.However, Zachary only intended to send Nina abroad and hadn’t mentioned whether to take further action.Frank did

    On the sofa, the whole family sat neatly together.He took a bite of the ice cream, spoke succinctly, and got straight to the point. “First thing, I will only marry Jane.”Sir Collins was the first to object, concerned for the family's reputation and for the ice cream.Zachary ignored him. “Second, Nina must go abroad.”Nina, sitting on the single sofa, kept her head lowered, curled up. When Zachary said this, tears fell from her eyes, looking pitiful.“Mrs. Collins, I suggested going abroad to Zachary. Please don’t blame him.”Zachary’s mother, Rebecca Collins, was confused. “You just got back. Why suddenly do you want to go abroad? You refuse to tell us what happened either. Sending you abroad before was for your studies. Now that you’ve graduated, why go abroad alone?”Nina glanced at Zachary before shaking her head. “Mrs. Collins, I know you care about me, but I want to go abroad.”“And I want to take my grandfather’s ashes with me.”Rebecca became even more perplexed. “

    Madam Collins loved drinking coffee. If others knew, they would definitely think she was a gentle and easy-going old lady. Unfortunately, she was not. Coffee was just a simple hobby, it didn’t affect her judgment or decision-making on any matter. Sir Collins was the same. All members of the Collins family, including him, prioritized calmness above all else. Before he met Jane, he had indeed followed their wishes, behaving like a proper member of the Collins family. It was precisely because he knew what he wanted that he decided to be with Jane. Otherwise, when Jane distanced herself from him, he could have easily walked away and become a stranger to her. “Why don’t I just sever ties with the Collins family?” Eric slammed the table again. “I think you’ve gone mad. You can say such childish things?” “Have you digested all the teachings from these years along with your meals?” “Severing ties with the Collins family? Have you thought about it? You can’t even protect t

    Charlie talked about his ex-girlfriend every day, and Frank joked about her being his "true love," but he never denied it.“Nina, tell me the truth. If you don’t tell me the truth, I won’t be able to help you,” Rebecca urged.Nina looked at Zachary and then shook her head vigorously at Rebecca. Everyone present could tell there was something deeper going on, but Nina was afraid of Zachary and didn’t dare to speak up. “Don’t look at him. Just tell your Mrs. Collins the truth so that she, along with Grandpa, Grandma, and your godfather, can understand whose fault it really is,” Rebecca insisted. Nina bit her lip, hesitating for a long while before she finally spoke. Zachary didn’t stop her, he also wanted to hear how she would recount that night’s events. “Mrs. Collins, actually, it was my fault…” She stumbled over her words. “One night, Zachary got unhappy because Miss Greenwood brought her boyfriend and drank a bit too much, and he ended up getting himself drunk.” The e

    Zachary glanced at his watch, there was still some time left. He asked, “Let me hear it—what do the elders expect me to do? Marry her?” Nina’s eyes lit up with surprise, but she kept her head down, and no one noticed. Sir Collins furrowed his brows. “It’s just about taking responsibility, I’m not saying you should marry her. You still need to marry someone who can support you—someone who can help you if your career faces difficulties in the future.” Nina understood, indeed, she couldn’t hold any expectations for the Collins family. Sir Collins had brought her back merely to allow her to see him off, covering up the guilt of separating them for years and of her near-misfortune abroad. Rebecca’s kindness toward her was based on her behaving well and understanding her place, as if she were just a non-blood relative. There was no hope for anything more with Zachary. At this stage, they were merely considering the interests of the Collins family, regardless of her feelings. Sh

    Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."

    "Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It

    Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho

    Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall

    "If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren

    Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit

    The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g

    "Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building

    “Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally.
