They didn’t leave their seats to watch the fireworks, they did it to give Charlotte and Frank a moment
alone.
Just then, Jane also wanted to go back and rest, she felt a bit tired after a long day.
“Jane, do you want to see farther?”
Although Jane wasn’t drunk, she had drunk enough for her mind to feel a bit hazy.
She asked, “How far can we see?”
Michael bent down and lifted Jane onto his shoulders.
Jane gasped in surprise, and once she stabilized herself, excitement followed, lighting up her smile like a blooming flower.
She let down her tied–up long hair, shaking it out, her alcohol–tinged eyes looking particularly enchanting.
She patted Michael’s head and shouted, “Speed up!”
Michael laughed in response and immediately took big strides forward.
His height was 6.07 feet, he effortlessly carried Jane, who was also taller than average among girls.
They stood out in the crowd like a striking landscape.
Good–looking couples attracted the scattered tourists‘ attention, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.
Everyone wore expressions of curiosity.
Only Zachary’s face darkened.
Nina glanced at his expression and, with a gentle voice filled with envy, said, “Jane’s personality is charming. After spending time with her recently, I’ve come to like her a lot. I’m a girl and I feel this way, let alone the boys.”
Zachary’s expression darkened further.
But Nina seemed oblivious, continuing, “Zachary, she’s a good girl. She loves boldly and has a straightforward personality. If you really like her, I think it might be better to let her go, the Collins family isn’t really suitable for her. She shouldn’t be bound.”

Nina seemed to finally notice his mood, flustered as she said, “I’m sorry, I spoke too much. Whoever you want to date, as your family, I should support you and shouldn’t say things that upset you.”
Zachary’s gaze remained on Jane’s back, even as he stopped moving.
In response, he merely said, “If even you don’t speak the truth to me, then who else can I expect to say anything real?”
Frank hadn’t told him because he understood very well what Zachary intended to do, no one could stop

him.
With his current abilities, he didn’t need a marriage to exchange interests and power.
If he truly decided that she was the one, he would naturally find a way to bring her home.
But Nina was right about one thing.
Jane wasn’t someone who could be constrained.
Her fiery and carefree personality would indeed suffer among the various people in their family.
Sometimes, a single comment could be twisted into several meanings.
Even though she was quite smart and adept at handling work matters, she was ultimately a canary trapped in a golden cage.
It looked shiny and brilliant but was, in truth, quite bleak.
