SWNOVELS Chapter Regret H 751
Chapter 751
Zachary glanced at his watch, there was still some time left. He asked, "Let me hear it-what do the elders expect me to do? Marry her?"
Nina's eyes lit up with surprise, but she kept her head down, and no one noticed.
Sir Collins furrowed his brows. "It's just about taking responsibility, I'm not saying you should marry her. You still need to marry someone who can support you- someone who can help you if your career faces difficulties in the future." Nina understood, indeed, she couldn't hold any expectations for the Collins family.
Sir Collins had brought her back merely to allow her to see him off, covering up the guilt of separating them for years and of her near-misfortune abroad.
Rebecca's kindness toward her was based on her behaving well and understanding her place, as if she were just a non-blood relative. There was no hope for anything more with Zachary.
At this stage, they were merely considering the interests of the Collins family, regardless of her feelings.
She felt like a commodity, yet it didn't matter, Jane was lucky to be alive this time, and her future wouldn't be much better than Nina's.
At least she had grown up in the Collins family, while Jane, being neglected by her parents, could almost be considered an orphan.
Even knowing Charlotte wouldn't change much, Frank wouldn't go against the Collins family for her.
Though the Smith and Collins families had a long-standing relationship, the Collins family would never allow Frank to interfere in family matters and jeopardize their interests.
"I don't understand," Zachary said lightly. "What does it mean to take responsibility but not marry her?"
Sir Collins rapped his cane against the floor, clearly angered by Zachary's feigned ignorance.
"If you really like this Jane, you can keep her outside," he said, his words blunt and straightforward.
Zachary chuckled lightly. "Grandpa, you're really considering my situation."

Sir Collins's anger didn't wane. "If you didn't act recklessly, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Zachary's voice turned cold as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. "Grandpa, I appreciate your concern, but I won't be taking your advice. And let me suggest something to you. Don't offer any more advice in the future." "Zachary!"
Sir Collins slammed his cane down heavily on the floor, standing up in fury, only to falter and collapse back into his chair.
"Wayne!"
"Dad!"
The wail of an ambulance sliced through the night.
Upon arrival at the hospital, he was rushed straight into the emergency room.
Given Sir Collins's status, Rebecca was unusually agitated, worried about him, and displayed a temperament that was not her usual self.
Eric tried to calm her down while Rebecca was concerned that Zachary might take advantage of the chaos to send Nina abroad, arranging for people to surround the emergency room.
The task of controlling the information fell onto Zachary.
He couldn't ignore it, if the situation spiraled out of control and the Collins family fell into a dangerous position, Jane would be in an even more perilous situation.
His family had been under surveillance, as soon as the ambulance left the estate, calls began pouring in.
He was so busy that his phone ran out of battery.
When Jane returned home and saw no messages from Zachary, she sank into the sofa, pondering for a while before sending him a message. "Are you done with your business?"
Then she set her phone down to take a shower and do her skincare routine. Two hours later, checking her phone, she saw there was still no reply. She put the phone down, opened her laptop, and got back to work, not realizing when she dozed off.
