Frank kissed her ear softly, his voice charming. "We're home now. How do you want to hit me? I'll be at your service."
Jane naturally knew Frank had arrived.
The couple hadn't seen each other that evening, and she guessed they were getting cozy, so she wasn't in a hurry to bring Charlotte back She focused on the medication, and just as she felt a bit drowsy, the ward door was pushed
open.
She thought it was Charlotte returning, greeting with a smile. "I thought you'd only come back at lunchtime..."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
What came into view was a face that, despite showing signs of age, was well-kept.
She straightened up a bit. "Madam Collins. Would you like some water?"
Jane reached out, intending to pour a glass of water.
Madam Collins approached and stopped her with a gesture. "No need."
Then she sat down in a nearby chair. "Don't be nervous. I just want to chat with you.'

Jane enjoyed chatting with people and could strike up a conversation with anyone.
But facing Zachary's grandmother made her feel somewhat awkward.
"You want to talk about me and Zachary, right?"
Madam Collins had come from the business world. When she arranged her son's marriage, she chose a decisive woman from a business family. From the moment Zachary was born, she must have already been considering who he would marry.
The Collins family wasn't exactly the same as the Smith family.
They had too many enemies watching them.
Now that Sir Collins had stepped back, his son was still active in politics, and Zachary would likely follow the same path.

Therefore, his future partner needed to come from an affluent family and possess strong personal capabilities.
She had heard that Jane and Charlotte started a clothing and jewelry company, but it was too small to be significant.
Even if Jane had some business acumen, without a solid background, she couldn't help Zachary,
In times of trouble, he would still have to clean up after her.
If their opponents found any leverage against them, the already dangerous path would become even more dangerous.
"Child, I hold nothing against you. It's perfect fine for youngsters like you to be dating, but that's all I can allow. Take your friend, Mrs. Smith, for example. She was once adrift, yet her background is impressive. The Shaw family supports her, and she's also the daughter of the Jackson family. Part of the Jackson family's wealth will eventually become hers. So her marriage with Frank is, after all, a strong alliance. But what can you offer Zachary?" Madam Collins's voice was gentle, yet it felt like a heavy hammer striking Jane's heart.
Jane's lips moved but no words came out.
"I also know that Charlotte will support you, acting as your family to help you marry Zachary. But child, our resources and those of Frank are already intertwined, and our interests have long been bound. You don't need to bring that, Zachary already has it. What we want is more resources to ensure Zachary can walk a steadier path in the future."
Jane opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Madam Collins. "Let me give you an example. Nina came from a poor background, with no parents. Her grandfather' worked as a driver for our family, and she was raised in the Collins family's residence. Even so, she has learned more and experienced more about human nature than others. Just by mastering that, means you're not her match, let alone facing what lies ahead."
Jane understood well that business and politics were different.
Hearing from Charlotte that Zachary would be involved in politics made her hesitate.
