Jane was also a smart person and quickly understood Zachary's intentions.

He spoke in a seemingly grand manner but was actually testing her.

As long as she opened her mouth to tell Michael to leave, he would get what he wanted.

He cleared the room, and she told Michael leave.

It merely confirmed that she had not truly moved on from him.

To her, he was still more important than the new guy.

Jane smiled faintly. "I refuse, Mr. Collins. If you don't let go of me, I'll have Michael call Charlotte. If a boy calls Charlotte at this hour, what do you think Frank would do?"

Who knew Frank's character better than Zachary?

And Jane indeed was capable of doing such things.

He held her tightly but eventually released her.

Jane immediately stepped out of his embrace and left with Michael.

Even in autumn, with a knitted dress and a coat draped over it, her charm remained undiminished.

The exposed section of her straight, well-proportioned calf was extremely graceful.

As they were about to exit the hall, Zachary saw Michael glance back and give him a provocative smile.

'He actually looked down on getting into a confrontation with such a young boy.

Aside from being younger, there was nothing else he could take advantage of.

After meeting Michael for the first time, he had sent someone to look into him.

His parents were not around, he had a sick grandmother at home, and he had made his way up through sponsorship. Some even wanted to be his sugar mommy. Entering the entertainment industry was merely for the quick money.

A person like that was not worth Zachary's attention.

Jane was probably just teasing him.

"Jane, he has been following you. I'm worried. Let me take you upstairs."

Jane certainly knew that Zachary was following her.

She wasn't afraid, just didn't want to argue with him at that late hour.

Even if Michael didn't escort her upstairs, Zachary couldn't go to her house either.

Yet she didn't refuse Michael and allowed him to take her upstairs.

Zachary followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Watching Jane walk with the young boy to the automatic door, the boy didn't stop.

Only then did he quicken his steps to intercept them, pulling Jane aside.

Michael held onto Jane's other hand.

Neither side showed any intention of backing down.

The atmosphere was clearly tense.

The security guard had initially come out to greet Jane

He wanted to mention that a man had come to find her in a luxury car.

Seeing this scene, he leaned against the doorframe and started watching the show. 'Looks like another man has showed up. It's quite a scene tonight.'

It seemed that being beautiful also brought a lot of trouble.

"Let go.

Zachary grabbed Michael's wrist and used a technique to force him to release his grip.

Michael's voice was filled with grievance. "Jane, I'm sorry. I'm not strong enough. He almost broke my wrist. I really can't help you, I'm so useless." Zachary's face darkened.

Jane tried to pull her hand back, but Zachary wouldn't let go. She bit down on his wrist with all her strength.

Even when blood was drawn, he didn't loosen his grip.

Jane's temper flared as she glared at him. "Zachary, if there's something wrong with your brain, go see a psychologist. Don't be acting all crazily in front of me!"

Zachary pulled her aside. "Charlie must have told you that this young boy isn't a good person. It's alright if you want to take him out for some fun, but to take him home? Do you know what happens when you take a man home? He looks weak, but as a girl, you would still be at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so..."

"So what?" Jane interrupted him coldly. "I'm an adult. Do you think I don't know what might happen by bringing someone home? Mr. Collins, do you know too little about me to say such ridiculous things? Do you take me for a pure, innocent girl who just entered society and knows nothing?"
