Chapter 989

Author: Lean
"I said I don’t know. Maybe it was because she knew she wasn't worthy of you, so I left."

If this had been before, Zachary would have believed it.

But this time, Jane had said she wouldn't leave.

Moreover, Raymond had already said that she had been kidnapped.

Thud—

Zachary knelt in front of his mother, Rebecca.

Rebecca was horrified.

The members of the Collins family, startled by the commotion in the hospital room, walked to the door and were equally shocked.

Zachary bowed his head to Rebecca.

"I will never forget your kindness in raising me, and the Collins family's nurturing of me. What I did to you just now was wrong. I'm sorry, Mom."

As he spoke, he bowed a few more times.

"You're both getting old, and worrying too much can cause illness. It would be better to find a comfortable and pleasant place to rest properly."

Noticing what Zachary was about to do, Madam Collins quickly spoke up, "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk calmly. We really didn't harm Jane. And we've already

    Rebecca touched her own neck.Zachary hadn't applied much force, but she felt that just a light squeeze from him in this area made her feel unbearably uncomfortable."The son I painstakingly gave birth to, for the sake of another woman, actually wants to strangle me, his own mother."Madam Collins was fiddling with her bracelet. "If you hadn't been involved in Jane's kidnapping, he wouldn't have laid a hand on you. Thinking back now, Zachary, apart from insisting on Jane, has been doing everything according to our requests. He hasn't started acting arbitrarily just because he gained power. He hasn't been reckless. I regret that I went to talk to Jane yesterday."Rebecca couldn't believe it. "Mom, what are you saying! You can't turn against us. You can't accept Zachary marrying Jane. This hasn't happened yet, but if they get married, everyone will know that Jane is the wife of the head of the Collins family. That will bring Zachary a lot of trouble. She doesn't have the ability to p

    That place might not have much of an impact on Zachary.But for a woman, it was truly hell.But right now, there was no point in thinking about it. She spoke, "Since you want to use me to lure Zachary here, you can't just let me freeze to death. I'm soaked through. Give me a coat."Luthor threw her a coat.It wasn't to keep her alive to lure Zachary, since even if she died, Zachary would still find her remains.Keeping her alive was just to give Zachary a surprise.To make Zachary watch his beloved suffer, yet unable to do anything.That would surely be very interesting.When Zachary found out that Luthor hadn't taken the helicopter, he punched through the car window in anger.So much time had passed, from dawn until dusk.Now, it was too late to intercept Luthor.Raymond knelt in front of Zachary.It was his negligence. He hadn't seen through such a simple scheme.Zachary didn't even look at him.Now, they could only follow the trail deliberately left by Luthor.They tr

    The word "yes" followed the smoke as it escaped from his nostrils.Charlotte bit her lip, unsure of what to say at the moment.Frank raised his hand and gently pressed her head down, speaking, "Finding Jane is the most important thing right now."When Jane got off the bamboo raft, she was lifted off.She was thrown into the trunk like a pig being tossed aside.She landed heavily with a loud bang. She felt like her bones had broken.The trunk slammed shut, plunging her vision into darkness. The air around her grew thin.She tried to break free from her restraints, but they were tied skillfully. The more she moved, the tighter they became.A sharp pain shot through her wrist, and when she realized it was bleeding, she stopped moving.But the journey felt uneven, and she bounced with the motion.Luckily, she hadn't eaten much before being tied up.If she had thrown up, the enclosed space would've suffocated her.So, when they lifted her out of the trunk, her head was a bit diz

    Luthor enjoyed seeing her like this."It's a live stream."On the other side, Zachary's hand trembled, but he gripped the phone tightly.The screen shattered, and he loosened his grip, afraid the phone would break and he wouldn't be able to see Jane.But this way, he couldn't control his strength. His muscles started to stiffen.The wound that had been treated reopened, and blood started flowing again.Frank was worried that his hand would truly be ruined, so he reached out to grab the phone, but was pushed away with force.The shove was so strong that Frank staggered a step back."Do you want to bite me?"Charlotte grabbed his hand and gently ran her fingers over his palm.As a friend, she wanted to tear Luthor into a thousand pieces, let alone Zachary, who loved Jane so much.Frank bent over and whispered in her ear, "If I don’t stop him, he'll lose it in a minute.""Westley still hasn't given a response..."Just as he was speaking, his phone rang.Charlotte tightened h

    Luthor withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping over her abdomen.It was clear he didn't believe her."You really are naive. Being pregnant doesn't mean you can't..." "Didn't you want to crush the Collins family?" Jane quickly interrupted. "You should know how much the Collins family cares about children. When Nina was pregnant, the Collins family didn't let her be part of the family, but they treated her well, providing her with food and drink, all for the sake of her child. If this child calls you 'dad,' don't you think it's the best revenge against the Collins family? You could also use the child to control them."Luthor's expression remained unchanged.But Jane clearly saw a glint of interest flash in his eyes.She pressed on. "For the sake of this child, I'm willing to do anything. This is your leverage over me. No matter what, you won't lose, right?"Luthor wasn't going to fall for Jane's words so easily.He knew better than anyone how capable Zachary was."Fine," he said c

    "Can't they just take blood and send it for testing?" he asked.The doctor glanced at Jane's condition and said, "If she really is pregnant, in this state, she'll probably need to be treated in the hospital.""If it's early pregnancy, there's no guarantee the baby will be kept."Luthor immediately picked up Jane and took her to the hospital.Nina originally wanted to stop him.But then she thought, there was nothing wrong with Jane being pregnant.It could be an opportunity to let her experience true hell.Zachary and his group were close to the location where Jane was.Frank received a location sent by Lucifer, along with a picture.He showed it to Charlotte, hesitating whether or not to tell Zachary.In that state, if there was any more stimulation, he might really turn into a madman."This is a good thing," Charlotte suddenly spoke up. Zachary looked over, and she held Frank's hand, turning it so he could see."Going to the hospital means Jane is temporarily fine."How

    She was also thinking about how to keep delaying things.Nina sat on the sofa, waiting for the test results.Luthor sat next to the hospital bed.Jane felt like a bird in a cage, even if she banged her head against the bars until it bled, she still couldn't fly out of the cage.Besides, these two cold-hearted people wouldn't soften their hearts just because they saw her crash against the bars.She slowly and subtly untied the rope on her foot.She spoke up, "I need to use the bathroom."Luthor got up to carry her, but she refused. "I can walk by myself."But he still picked her up.When he placed her on the toilet, he stayed standing next to her."Aren't you going to leave?""I'm not leaving."Jane really wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back and said, "There's only one door, no windows, and you're blocking it. How am I supposed to escape?""I have diarrhea, and you're just going to stand here and watch me?"She felt disgusted even saying it, but he didn't even flinc

    Jane thought this kind of statement was problematic."You two have known each other since childhood, longer than I have, and understand each other more deeply. If you wanted to get married, you could have done so long ago. Why did you have to wait for me to appear before marrying?"She had been young before, and Nina didn't have the ability to shake the foundation of the Collins family.So, she went abroad, working hard to expand her influence and develop.She even sacrificed everything, just to gain the power to stand on equal footing with the Collins family.She wanted them to have no way to stop her from marrying Zachary.But when she worked hard to return, Jane had already beaten her to the punch, disrupting all her plans.What was even more hateful was that a cheap woman could win Zachary's heart, but she couldn’t."Because you deserve it."Jane was speechless."I never stopped you. After you returned, I even broke up with Zachary. If you two didn't get together, you can

    "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. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c

    Whitney nodded.By the time they arrived, it was already dark.But the entrance of the hot spring resort was bustling with activity.People were coming and going, and the car park at the front was filled with luxury cars.Standing at the entrance was a woman in a purple gown, her figure stunning.In such cold weather, she was only wearing a form-fitting silk dress, and although she had a mink shawl draped over her shoulders, it had started snowing mixed with rain by now.Whitney felt a chill just looking at her.Then, glancing at herself, she realized she looked round and bundled up due to her thin frame, trying to stay warm.Compared to the woman in front of her, she didn't feel the least bit feminine."Yvonne!"Millie tugged Whitney over. "I brought my sister-in-law!"Yvonne excused herself from her guests, letting someone show them in, and then turned to face Millie and Whitney.The moment Whitney met her gaze, she felt a softening in her bones.It was a natural, effort

    Caleb's temples throbbed.He regretted some of the things he had done to Millie when they were younger.Whitney was a bit worried, but Millie reassured her to not worry at all.In reality, Caleb was fine.If it weren't for Whitney, she would have exposed his little scheme by now."Gilbert will be here soon.""Also, the doctor said to observe him overnight, but he'll be fine. He can be discharged tomorrow. He's not missing any limbs. Whitney, it's okay to care about your husband, but don't spoil him too much. It'll bring bad luck."Whitney had never heard anything like this before.Millie always said things that were beyond her understanding.Maybe that's the difference between being spoiled growing up and struggling just to survive."Okay."She liked Millie, just as she liked Jane and the others—they were all great girls.Millie pinched her cheek. "That's more like it."Gilbert finished work at his usual time.When he arrived at the hospital, he thought for a moment and c

    "You're still trying to make me gain weight." Millie was very kind to Whitney, always speaking in her favor, so she had to support her as well. "I always thought you liked a bit of meat on someone."Caleb wanted her to eat more, gain a bit of weight, and stay healthy.This was a setup, and he wasn't sure how to respond."Only giving me vegetables?"Whitney hadn't planned on cooking meat at all, but since Millie mentioned wanting some, she made cooked some meat."You can't eat anything greasy right now, but I've made some chicken. You can have some chicken."Caleb smirked. "I'll do as you say."Millie couldn't stand it anymore and clicked her tongue a few times.But Caleb didn't give her a chance to speak. "Can't the roast pork shut you up?"Millie was so angry that she gritted her teeth. After finishing her meal, she saw Whitney still feeding Caleb.Unable to stop herself, she said, "Caleb, you've got alcohol poisoning, not a broken arm. Whitney, you should eat. The dishes ar

    Whitney felt that Millie probably had some longstanding grudge with Caleb from when they were kids.Therefore, she treated Millie with respect as well.That was why she said those words.What was so great about her?Being able to cook wasn't anything extraordinary.The Hilton family's status in Yelar was such that, had it not been for her good luck in becoming Zachary's sister and getting such an opportunity, she would have likely died in some unknown gutter.As for the various daughters of affluent families surrounding Caleb—beautiful, gentle, intellectual, and so on—the list was endless.Compared to her, they were a thousand times better.And yet, she still thought that Caleb marrying her was a loss.It wasn't as exaggerated as Millie had said."Millie, please don't say that. Caleb can cook for me, too. It's nothing special."Millie was shocked.Could Caleb even cook?But when she saw Whitney's expression, she realized that the times Caleb had cooked for her when they we
