Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 136
My spirits lifted, and I pressed on. "Please don't hold back because of this. The divorce is between him and me. But Grandfather has always been so good to me, I don't want him to leave with unanswered questions."Offering him this reassurance, Albert finally made up his mind to speak. He took out a transparent sealed bag from his pocket, containing only a small pill.And this pill, I was intimately familiar with.It was the emergency medicine Grandfather always carried in his pocket.Albert said, "This was found a few days ago by the servants while cleaning Mr. William's study, under the carpet on his desk."I took it and examined it closely, a chill running down my spine. The air in Jelaston isn't particularly dry, so if the pill had fallen on the ground a while ago, it should have been somewhat damp. But there was no trace of moisture on this pill inside the bag.My voice tightened involuntarily. "When was the last major cleaning at the old mansion?""It happened the day befo

Albert suppressed his anger, glanced at her, and snorted!"Mr. William has only been gone a few days. As a junior, have you already forgotten what he said on his deathbed? Only Charlotte can be Mrs. Frost!""You, who are so unfilial, think you deserve to enter the Frost family?!"Albert seized the opportunity to spit out at her! Then he looked at me and respectfully said, "Mrs. Frost, I'll take my leave first. You should go inside quickly, lest some riffraff cause trouble and harm you!"With that, he led the servants and departed with a demeanor reminiscent of when Grandfather was still alive."What nonsense, who's causing trouble!"Jessica was left dumbfounded by Albert's outburst, sneering repeatedly. She glared at me. "From the oldest to the youngest in the Frost family, even a servant has been misled by you with aphrodisiacs?!""Could it be because you're just too unlikeable?" I retorted.She gnashed her teeth in anger. Jane suddenly walked out, her red lips curling provoca

I didn't expect Bob to stoop so low. I furrowed my brow. "Does your uncle know the PIN?""I... I'm afraid I won't remember the PIN myself..."Aunt Laura's face was full of regret. "It's the same PIN as our shared bank card."Both Jane and I were helpless.Bob was an old hand at cheating and stealing money. Once he gets hold of the bank card, he'll definitely transfer the money right away. There's no time to report it lost at the bank now.However, more than this, I was concerned about another issue. "Has your uncle started gambling again?""Yeah..."Aunt Laura wiped her tears and gritted her teeth. "Actually, he hasn't quit all these years, so I didn't dare let him know how much money you give me every month. I never thought this old bastard would dare snatch even the money that saved my life!""Why don't you just divorce him then? Gambling is a bottomless abyss!" Jane was getting angry and couldn't help but say."This time..."Aunt Laura looked up at me with guilt. "I will d

I sat up and reached out to flip the switch on the bedside, suddenly brightening the room. Unexpectedly, I saw him in a rare disheveled state.The usually elegant and noble man had stubble on his chin, and there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for days, radiating weariness.What trouble had occurred in the Frost family to keep him this busy?I frowned lightly. "Instead of coming here to see me, you should get some rest yourself."He hooked his index finger around his tie knot, pulling it down slightly. A bitter curve formed on his lips. "I understand now, the pain you felt when you lost the child."I clenched my fists, mocking him with a smirk. "Ryan, I don't need your empathy. Just remember every moment that your first child was killed by your own hands, that's enough."Pain flashed through his pitch-black eyes, and his thin lips twitched slightly. His voice was hoarse. "Do you... hate me that much?""Yes!" I admitted frankly. "I hate both you and Jessic

Jane had a strong desire to shop and kept dragging me around. She said she had finally resigned and wanted to treat herself after working like an ox and horse for four years."Look, isn't that the bitch?" When we passed by a luxury goods counter, she suddenly pointed inside.I glanced involuntarily. "It's her."She was holding a purse worth hundreds of thousands, comparing it on herself, presumably planning to buy it.Ryan was always generous towards her.I wasn't interested in watching further and pulled Jane to leave. Jane squinted her eyes and grabbed me, hiding us behind a pillar!I didn't understand what she was doing, so I looked at her with a puzzled expression.She exclaimed, "Your father-in-law!""My father-in-law?""It's your father-in-law shopping with that bitch!" Jane had a face as if she had just discovered something shocking."Isn't this normal?" I smiled. "She has always been my father-in-law's favorite."Even Ryan couldn't get a bit of paternal love, all of

A stock clerk pushed a shelf past us, interrupting our conversation. "Excuse me, just passing through."I pulled Jane back a bit before asking, "What were you saying just now?""Isn't she your father-in-law's biological daughter?" Jane looked spirited.I frowned. "I don't think so... She's two years older than Ryan."If she were having an affair, it wouldn't be this early, would it?"What's so implausible about it?" Jane dismissed my concern, excitedly sharing gossip about the wealthy. "In these wealthy families, it's messy. They have a wife at home and have several mistresses outside. Isn't that normal?""But..." I still felt something was off. "If Jessica really is his biological daughter, why wouldn't he tell Grandpa? Grandpa hates Jessica so much."He would definitely treat his own granddaughter differently.Jane thought about it and found it strange too. "You're right. If Jessica were really his daughter, wouldn't it be incestuous for him to let Ryan and Jessica be togethe

Jane quickly glanced at me, a hint of ambiguity almost overflowing. I felt puzzled, but seeing Jack's calm demeanor, I was sure it wasn't what Jane was implying.Moreover, Jack had someone he liked, for over 20 years. How could he possibly have any feelings for someone like me who had just divorced?Jack refilled my drink. "No rush to decide, take your time.""Okay." I still felt a bit overwhelmed inside. After all, it was a brand I had admired for so many years, suddenly within reach, it felt like a dream.After dinner, Jane used the excuse of another appointment to ask Jack to drive me home. In the car, I said helplessly, "I'm bothering you again.""What bother? I'm just being soft-hearted and lending a hand." Jack teased with a smile.I chuckled softly. "You didn't even let me pay for the meal, th...".Before I finished, he pretended to answer a phone call and went to pay the bill.His long, slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, exuding a natural elegance. His gaze

I hesitated for a moment, glanced into the bag, and saw two exquisite velvet boxes inside. They contained the jade pendant Grandpa had prepared for the child.A wave of intense pain swept through me. Coldly, I spoke, "This was something Grandpa prepared for the child. Since the child is no more, it should be returned to you."He glared at me. "This was given to you by Grandpa. If you want to return it, return it to Grandpa."I realized he was completely unreasonable and impossible to reason with. I pursed my lips. "Ryan, I can accept other things, but this is too precious."He blurted out, "It's given to you, not to someone else."I couldn't help but clutch my hand tightly, suppressing the strange feeling in my heart, trying to remain rational. "Between us, we only lack one divorce certificate to settle things clearly.""Settle things?" Ryan's indifferent eyes subtly raised. He looked at me calmly.I involuntarily panicked for a moment. "Yes.""What do you want to settle?" He l

In Nelana, Westley had the final say.What could she possibly uncover?She decided to put away both divorce certificates for now and ask Jane to verify them once she got to Jeswood.Westley saw the flicker of her thoughts in her eyes but said nothing and just left.After the car drove away, he called Zachary.Zachary had just lulled Jane to sleep when his phone suddenly vibrated violently.

Buck suddenly appeared and started the car, leaving the airport.He even "thoughtfully" raised the partition.The back seat was sectioned off into a small space.No matter how spacious the interior of the car was, it still felt narrow compared to the vastness outside.Jordan would touch Westley even if she moved a little.She was annoyed by his constant pestering.She raised her hand and slapped him.The slap was so sudden that Westley's face turned to the side.However, when he turned back, there wasn't the slightest hint of anger.Not even a trace of surprise showed on his face.He said slowly, "You can keep hitting me until you feel better."Jordan hadn't slapped him to resolve the rift between them.The issues between them weren't something that a few slaps could solve."Westley, why do you keep forcing me? It was you who neglected me before, and now you say you like me and insist on clinging to me. That's still one-sided.""Do you even treat me as a person?"Westley

Jasmine didn't immediately understand what she had said wrong.But she really wanted to keep working with Jordan, so she suppressed her curiosity and didn't press further.Jordan saw Jasmine's dejected expression and realized she might have spoken too harshly.After all, Jasmine didn't know the whole story and was simply shipping the "couple" out of pure excitement."Me and him..."Jordan was still someone who didn't like to talk about her personal life, especially about this failed relationship."I wasn't targeting you. Sorry, my tone was off earlier.""No, no, no." Jasmine waved her hands quickly. "Ms. Hickey, you weren't wrong. I completely understand—it was my fault for not respecting boundaries."Jasmine was a professional and a genuinely good person.Truth be told, Jordan wasn't eager to let her go."How about I treat you to a meal?""Sure!"Jasmine had heard rumors that Jordan never gave discounts, not even to her own parents if they hired her for photography—they ha

Westley felt that the younger man had just frightened his wife. Damn it.With her goal achieved, Jordan fell silent again.She thought to herself, ‘Westley isn’t as clever as others think at all. He didn't even realize I was using him.’How could Westley not know?It was just that, as long as she was willing to say a word to him—no matter what it was—he felt happy.Jordan had no intention of staying here any longer.After arriving at the hotel, she washed her face with cold water to calm herself down, and then she checked out to return to Nelana.When Westley found out, he intercepted her at the door."It won't hurt to wait a little longer. Rest for a couple more days before heading back. Besides, aren't you at least going to see the result?"Jordan had no interest in looking at the result.She only wanted to return to her grandfather's old house, to sleep soundly.In her dreams, she could talk to her grandfather, lean into his embrace, and draw warmth from him.Westley did

She just wanted to escape from this place and hide somewhere safe.Because of this, the familiar light pear blossom fragrance on Westley's body made her neither push him away nor leave his embrace.In fact, she even held onto him a little tighter.Sensing her reliance on him, Westley held her even closer, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones.They were almost at the car when the younger man rushed forward to block their way.Westley's cold, piercing gaze fell on the younger man's ankle.He immediately realized that this scumbag had been faking his injury."Buck," he said.Buck appeared instantly and pinned the younger man to the ground.The younger man, however, was unbothered. "There's no way Westley would appear in a place like this. And dressed so casually? You couldn't possibly be the famous head of the Howard family. Trying to impose as Westley? You've reached the end of your rope."When Westley was in a good mood, he might have humored a fool like this.But

It was the 21st century, yet there were still such retards around.This was the first time she had encountered someone blatantly staging an accident.And, if she wasn't mistaken, the person in front of her was the leader of this boy band.Some people's voices were naturally gifted—either deep and resonant or low and attractive.It was difficult for others to imitate.Take Westley, for example.His rich, mellow voice had been honed through years of practicing a London accent.It also had something to do with the experiences he had accumulated over the years.When she was younger, it was hard not to be drawn to Westley.Because of this, she never liked younger men.Especially those who hit every one of her triggers."You're quite bold. You've shown me the diversity of species. Are you trying to rip me off? Dream on." Jordan pointed to her shoulder. "A camera. I recorded everything you just did. If you don't want to lose your fanbase, you'd better get lost right now."The youn

The woman knew very well what would happen to her best friend.She wasn't saying these things to defend her friend, though.She had never liked Jordan.Not only was she jealous of Jordan's protection from Oliver, but now, Jordan had also become the famous Mrs. Howard.Why should Jordan, just because she was a little prettier, get such preferential treatment?She had known Oliver first and had liked him for a long time.But the moment Jordan appeared, she received all of Oliver's affection.How could she accept that?But she couldn't afford to offend the Howard family.After throwing out a few insults, she left.Jasmine was rendered speechless. "Who does she think she is?"Jordan didn't waste her time with people like this.To her, they were just driven by jealousy.They were timid, and it was easy to dismiss them.But Westley, now that was truly giving her a headache.Now, almost everyone knew about her marriage to Westley.It was so annoying.Jasmine thought Jordan ha

The staff couldn't give up.This was an order from the Howard family. If she couldn't convince Mrs. Howard to get into first class, her job would be on the line."Sorry, this cannot be refunded. But if you insist on sitting in economy, you can do so at the price of a first-class ticket. It's up to you."Although it wasn't her money, it still felt wasteful.Someone like Westley, who had no shortage of money, wouldn't understand how difficult it was to earn money."Alright, let's go."Jasmine was much more excited than Jordan."Ms. Hickey, this is my first time in first class! When I first saw your work, I loved it, and now, I can be your assistant. I will definitely do my best!"Jordan was troubled and didn't feel like talking much."I'll sleep for a while. Wake me up when we arrive.""Okay."Jasmine had a feeling that the upgrade was done by Westley.She had seen his watch—a limited edition, priceless. It could buy a luxury apartment.He seemed like an employee, but in rea

She became more and more agitated.Her face and neck turned red with anger.Tears began to fall uncontrollably as her emotional distress took over.She wiped her face forcefully and then motioned for him to leave.Westley handed her a piece of tissue, but Jordan didn't take it."Leave."Westley's lips pressed together slightly, and his deep voice carried a strong tone of apology."I acknowledge all the mistakes I've made, all the things I've said. I know that the harm I've caused you can't be fixed in a day, but Jordy, you can hit me, curse me, order me to work like a servant, but asking me to give up on you, that’s something I can't do."Jordan opened the door. Though she didn't say anything, her intention for him to leave was clear.Westley stood in front of her. "The interviewees weren't as good as me. I won't accept you rejecting me because of our personal relationship. I'm starting work now."Jordan couldn't help but laugh angrily. "Westley, do you look like an assistant
