When she heard the name Jasper, Jane instinctively stiffened.Zachary raised his hand and placed it on her back, gently soothing her.“Relax, I’m here.”Jane wanted to relax.But Jasper was like a curse.Although she hadn’t seen him in years and hadn’t been beaten again, seeing him now made those dark days from the past feel like they were resurfacing.And she couldn’t deny that this biological father of hers had indeed become a stain in her life.In this situation, staying with Zachary was actually harming him.How could she relax?“Eat, it’s bad for your stomach if the food gets cold.”Zachary served her some dishes, his gaze never leaving Jane, regardless of the expressions on the people across the table.Under these circumstances, no matter how carefree Jane tried to be, she couldn’t eat.She tapped Zachary’s thigh under the table.Zachary held her hand and whispered, “We’ll talk about it tonight. Don’t make a scene now.”Jane withdrew her hand.She looked at Rebecca

“But it’s impossible for us to accept your marriage. Even if she can sever the father-daughter relationship, word will always get out. If Jasper is brought up later, Zachary, your future will be very difficult.”Zachary remained calm, but there was a faint air of arrogance in his voice. “I have more than one path in front of me.”Jane agreed with this.Zachary was different from ordinary people like her.She could only change a little bit of her fate through hard work and study.But for Zachary, anything was possible.However, no matter which path he took, having her by his side definitely brought more risks.Rebecca couldn’t help but interrupt. “We’ve already compromised by letting you two date, but Zachary, the future wife of the head of the Collins family cannot be someone with a stain on her record.”Zachary’s eyes turned cold, and a faint layer of frost covered them.Jane sensed the anger beginning to leak from him.She hurriedly grabbed his hand, her pinky finger brushi

Jordan instantly lost control. "Westley, my hair!"She pushed Westley away forcefully, took out a small mirror from her backpack, and saw that the hair on the side had been scorched and curled. Fuming, she kicked the man in front of her.The man, who had his hands behind his back, made a gesture, then, with a concerned expression, asked, "Did you get hurt?""Are you blind?"Jordan poked a strand of hair towards his eyes. "Can't you see? My hair is burnt!"Westley nodded seriously. "I see."Jordan was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. "It’s all your fault!""How do you want me to compensate?" he asked."Divorce."Westley didn’t argue, instead, he asked, "Didn’t I tell you not to wander around here?"Jordan paused for a second. "You never said that!"She wasn’t easily tricked anymore. "Even if you did, this isn’t the first time I’ve been here. Don’t your people recognize me?"She had grown up and couldn’t be easily deceived now.Westley calmly adjusted his cuffs."A few n

Jane remembered.She might forget many things, but she would never forget this.She took the cup and had a sip.Her voice, hoarse from crying, said, "It hasn’t changed."Charlotte gently patted her head and said in a soft voice, "When I saw Jasper that day, I thought, I can’t let your scars be reopened, I can’t let you face that bloody, dark past again. I also had Frank and Zachary hide everything from you, to protect you. But now, I think, exposing it might not be a bad thing. Sometimes, facing it head-on is the only way to truly move on."Zachary rushed back to the Collins family in Jeswood, and at first, he had the same thought.After threatening the Collins family, stopping the Winston family from posting the video wasn’t hard.But this situation wasn’t a solution in the long run.Life was long, and you never knew when something might resurface.Facing it head-on might not be a bad thing.He lit a cigarette on the balcony, and his phone rang."Man, I’ve been working so h

Jane immediately called Jordan back."Have you arrived in Jeswood?"Jordan's voice had a hint of resentment. "I’ve been here for hours, waiting for you at the hotel. I’m starving.""And there's this old man constantly staring at me—so annoying."‘Westley is here too?’Jane felt a little guilty. "It's my fault. I'll come pick you up for dinner now. Send me the name of the hotel."After hanging up, Jane received Jordan's message. She stood up and called to Zachary. "Let's go, Mr. Collins."As the car drove to the hotel, she asked him, "Is Westley here for work or something else?"Zachary grunted dismissively. "Neither."‘So he came here just to follow Jordan.’Jane nodded and then poked Zachary’s side cheek with her delicate finger."Mr. Collins, make sure to cherish this last meal with me."Zachary held her hand and responded obediently, "Alright."When they arrived at the hotel, Jordan was already waiting outside.Zachary got out of the car and made space for her."Thank
