Chapter 964

Author: Lean
Jane said, “This is obviously the Winston family trying to control the public opinion. How could they possibly admit it?”

Jordan nodded. “Exactly.”

Charlotte made a phone call to Frank. After hanging up, she turned to Jane and said, “Luthor’s father was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his condition isn’t good. He may not survive.”

Jordan spoke first, “After all the evil he’s done, I think it’s a miracle he’s still alive. If he dies, it’s just what he deserves.”

Jane put her arm around Jordan’s shoulders and shook her head. “Jordan, you’re still too young.”

“What do you mean?”

“Dead people don’t talk. If Luthor’s father dies, then all the responsibility will fall on him. Luthor is smart, he’ll get out of this unharmed, save the Winston family, and later, when the opportunity arises, he’ll still go after Zachary.”

Jordan truly didn’t understand the power struggles of the big shots.

She made a cutting gesture across her neck. “With such ruthless people in the W

    As long as everything he had remained unchanged, he still had a chance to make things difficult for Zachary.But he also knew that with the huge leverage Zachary now had over the Winston family, the latter definitely wouldn’t let him escape easily.“Luthor, say something. What should we do?”“Yeah, you're the head of the Winston family. You have to ensure the Winston family’s safety.”“Otherwise... well, since Uncle Gregory is in critical condition, just let him take all the blame.”Luthor didn’t want to listen to any of it. He had his subordinates lock them up in a side room.His brain was working quickly, trying to figure out a solution.Just then, his phone rang.It was an international number.A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he answered.“I can help you.”A woman's voice came through, without any preamble.Luthor paused for a moment before simply saying, “Okay.”The voice continued, “But I can only save you.”“That's fine.”He hung up the phone and immediatel

    Zachary did not respond to Westley, but instructed Ronan to check the highway toll station for buses.Westley understood.Some buses did not require ID cards, making it difficult to leave a trace.If they had been careless, by the time Luthor reached the border area or took a private boat to leave, it would be hard to trace."I didn't expect Luthor to compromise to this extent."He was 40 years old.His life had always been smooth sailing, always traveling by special car wherever he went.This black bus was truly a hardship.Zachary stood up.Westley followed him out.As they entered the elevator, Zachary glanced at him through the elevator wall and said with a half-smile, "Are you very idle?"Westley coughed lightly. "I’ll keep quiet."Frank came to pick up Charlotte and happened to run into Zachary.His gaze fell on Westley's face, and he snickered, "Mr. Howard, are you retiring?"They knew Westley’s intentions, but they pretended not to.He did not respond, but direct

    "There's no rush to eat. Let me first see how much someone has missed me these past few days."Zachary’s gaze instantly darkened, and he pulled her into the bedroom.Soon, the bedroom was filled with passion.The moment Jordan was thrown into the car, she immediately started running in the opposite direction.Westley grabbed her leg and pulled her back.Jordan kicked him. "Get off, you old pervert! If you touch me again, I’ll call the police."Westley helped her sit back down and instructed the driver to drive."I’m not going with you, stop the car!""I have something to say to you.""I’m not listening!"Westley coaxed her gently. "Aren’t you curious? About the Winston family?"Jordan shook her head, "I’m not curious. I can ask Jane or Charlotte. Stop the car now, or I’ll call the police."Westley said slowly, "Jane and the others can’t talk to you right now. Give me some time, and I’ll tell you everything. That way, you’ll be able to chat with them later."Jordan still re

    Jordan, fuming with anger, threw the yogurt bottle aside and immediately stood up to leave.Westley hurriedly grabbed her hand, his tone slightly pleading, "Okay, I won’t call you that, please don’t be mad."Jordan shook off his hand. "I don’t think there’s anything left to talk about. If you don’t agree to the divorce, I’ll take things to court. I still don’t believe you can control the entire world."Westley furrowed his brows slightly, then grabbed her hand again and pulled her into his embrace.He was someone whose words attracted crowds of thousands.He was someone who never had to think long about what to say, who could easily distinguish between what was okay to say and what wasn’t.And he was someone who, no matter what he said or did, no one dared to challenge him.But at that moment, the words were at the tip of his tongue, and he spoke carefully."What do you want me to do, so that we won’t divorce?"Jordan couldn’t figure it out. Why did Westley suddenly like her?

    "No need, I’ve already bought a ticket."Westley nodded and grabbed his coat. "I’ll take you to the airport."On the way, Jordan kept thinking, but couldn’t figure it out.She had set up a group chat with Jane and Charlotte, but her messages hadn’t gotten any replies for a long time.It wasn’t until they got to the airport that Jane finally responded."Change in tactics."Jordan instantly understood.So, when she got out of the car, she immediately slung her bag over her shoulder and ran off.She didn’t want to say another word to Westley.Westley waited until her plane had taken off before leaving the airport.Once he sat in the back seat of the car, he pressed his fingers to his temple, feeling confused. "What do young girls want these days?"Buck didn’t understand either. "Sir, you should ask Miss Leanne. Mrs. Howard and Miss Leanne were very close before."Westley knew that Leanne would rather watch the show than help him.Besides, her own love life had been a failure,

    Raymond quickly hung up the phone.Zachary could say whatever he liked, but he dared not listen.On the other end of the line, Jane stood on her tiptoes, resting her chin on Zachary’s shoulder. She turned her head to ask him, "Luthor ran away?"Zachary hummed in response, shifting his shoulder slightly. "I’ll cook first."Jane let go of him and grabbed a cucumber, leaning against the side to eat it."By the way, does this mean you know his escape route?"Zachary fried some of her favorite fries and fed her one, a smile tugging at his lips. "If he wants to go abroad and not leave any trace for me to track. There’s only one route."Jane still wanted to ask more questions, but his phone rang."Can you answer it up for me?"Jane glanced at the word "Howard" on the screen, answered the call, and turned on the loudspeaker.Westley’s deep voice came through. "Is it a good time to talk?"Zachary was brief. "Talk."Westley hesitated, clearly struggling to say something.Zachary imm

    "As a result, Jordan really didn't like him anymore, and he began to panic."Jane clicked his tongue. "So, that means, in reality, Westley did have some feelings for Jordan, but he thought Jordan was too young and that himself was a bastard, so he avoided her. But later, Jordan stopped liking him, he faced his own feelings, and didn't want to divorce anymore, right?""Right."Jane clicked his tongue several times. "His mind is all tangled up. It's fine for work, but it doesn't work in relationships."Zachary scooped the food onto a plate and handed it to Jane. "Take it out, dinner's ready."The moment Westley landed, he found out Jordan's location and went straight to her.Jordan was waiting for the Soras.There were a lot of mosquitoes, and she was wrapped up tightly.She stayed still in the grass.But Westley recognized her at a glance.He didn't disturb her and waited nearby.His trusted subordinates sprayed insect repellent around him.They waited like that for several

    Westley's words shocked everyone in Jordan's team.Oliver's expression changed slightly, but he still forced a smile. "Jordy never mentioned that she was married...""We've been married for over three years..."Jordan became anxious and stomped on Westley's foot. "Shut up!"Even though Westley had been avoiding Jordan for those three years,When he heard the name "Oliver," Westley still had someone investigate him.Oliver came from a scholarly family and had a clean personal life aside from his career, he appeared to be someone who could be trusted for a lifetime.But Westley didn't think Oliver was right for Jordan.And no matter how he looked at it, he just found Oliver unpleasant."We are legally married, why can't I talk about it?"Jordan erupted. "Westley! We're getting a divorce, what's there to talk about!"Westley tightened his large hand around her slender waist.He had originally intended to handle things more gently.But now, he couldn’t hold back his anger anym

    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.
