Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 161
The car slowly pulled up in front of a grand and majestic mansion. The driver got out first and opened the door for us.Jennifer, stepping lightly in her black kitten heels, led me through the gate with a straight posture that spoke of a refined upbringing since childhood."Actually, bringing Ms. Wilson here today is for a specific request," she said."What request?""You'll see when you go inside."At her words, I felt puzzled, but I didn't press for more information.Curiosity was something I seemed to lack.However, as she led me through the garden and I caught a glimpse through a window into the ancestral hall, I was momentarily stunned.Jack was kneeling on the floor, his back covered in shocking wounds, yet his face showed no pain or anger, just a calmness as still as stagnant water.The middle-aged lady grew increasingly furious, whipping him again. "Jack, don't think I can't do anything to you right now! If you die, I can just adopt another child and still inherit the

I vaguely guessed that the Renolds family's situation was probably complicated, but it wasn't appropriate to ask Jennifer, whom I had just met, about it.After a slight hesitation, I shook my head. "I'm sorry, I can't promise you that. He has his own convictions, and as his friend, I can only support him."He could have liked someone for twenty years, and he had always been calm and steady. He must have weighed the pros and cons of everything. It wasn't something outsiders could interfere with.Jennifer didn't show any displeasure on her face, just calmly said, "Aren't you curious who he likes?""If he wanted to tell me, he would."Since he hadn't told me yet, it meant he didn't want me to know. I also felt that between friends, it wasn't necessary to be completely transparent; it was okay for each other to have their own secrets.She suddenly changed the subject. "After graduating from college, my grandmother originally hoped he would inherit the family business early, like Ryan

"When I was brought back to the Renolds family that year, everyone cursed me as an illegitimate child."He fell silent for a moment, complex emotions swirling in his beautiful eyes. "But I knew, it was my dad who deceived my mom..."I finally understood that beneath the gentle exterior, Jack had also endured a long and painful past. His father was his mother's first love, but for the family's sake, he secretly married someone else without telling his mother. By the time she found out, he was almost born..."My mom took me far away, but we still couldn't escape Sally's revenge.""She..." As he mentioned this, pain flashed in his eyes, along with suppressed hatred that quickly subsided. "She's dead."His hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, knuckles turning pale.I felt a heavy weight in my heart...He was eight years old that year, and his mother should have been around 30. Yet, because of her poor judgment of character, she paid such a heavy price.Jack smiled bitterl

I couldn’t give him an answer to that question.After all, I remembered that the girl had gotten married.I restarted the car and smiled gently. "I wish you well.""Okay," Jack responded cheerfully.I drove him to the building where he lived and hesitated before speaking, "About your injuries...""Don't listen to Jennifer's nonsense."He reached out and took the medicine, effortlessly easing my awkwardness. "Tom's at my place; just have him take care of it.""Alright." I felt somewhat relieved.It wasn't that I didn't want to help him with his wounds, but after all, it involved his back, which would require removing his shirt... My status might not be quite appropriate, and he would probably feel embarrassed too.As I prepared to return the car keys to him, he suddenly glanced over. "Today... I startled you, didn't I?"I lightly pinched my palm and honestly admitted that I was indeed frightened when I saw Sally hitting him like that. The whip had torn through his flesh.Bu

Jessica glanced at me. "It's convenient, but my mom has been waiting for you. It's just that Charlotte better not come in first. The doctor said my mom has been in a coma for too long, and her memory is quite confused. It's best for her to see only familiar faces first, to avoid affecting her physical and neurological recovery."The way she said it made it seem like I would be committing some unforgivable crime just by entering.I wasn't that insensitive. I looked at Ryan. "You go in. I'll leave first.""Since that's the case." Ryan coldly glanced at Jessica, then put his arm around my shoulder. "Let's wait for Ms. Wood to recover for a few days before coming to see her."I glanced at him in surprise, wanting to push his hand away, but he acted as if he didn't notice, unmoving."Ryan..." Jessica looked embarrassed, her eyes reddening. "Yesterday, you drove me away, and now at this time, you still...""Jessica, don't be unreasonable."From inside the ward came a weak voice of a w

Ryan's dark eyes glanced at me, as if hoping I would step back.I smiled faintly, firmly stating first, "What she said is true. We'll send her away by tomorrow night at the latest.""I don’t want an answer from you..."Ignoring my words, Lauren stared only at Ryan, looking like she couldn't bear to face the truth. "Ryan, tell Ms. Wood, is it true?"Perhaps my gaze was too direct, but despite his discomfort, Ryan spoke in a deep voice. "It's true.""Mom, did you hear that!"Jessica cried out, "Ryan clearly promised you he would take care of me, but now he's siding with outsiders to bully us."Ryan's face turned cold. "Charlotte is my wife, not an outsider!""You're getting divorced!"Jessica's face was streaked with tears as she emphasized firmly.As if she was the one who had been wronged.Ryan frowned, feeling displeased. "Until the divorce certificate is in hand, she remains my wife."I was somewhat surprised that he emphasized our relationship like this to Jessica."Eno

Ryan's mother, grandfather, and child. Three generations died at their hands."Charlotte! What nonsense are you spouting?" Jessica rushed over, shoved me, and warned fiercely, "I can sue you for defamation, do you know that?"With the situation slightly "improving," Lauren, also puzzled, looked over. "Ms. Wilson, what do you mean by that?""You know full well what I mean"Under Ryan's cold and gloomy expression, I spoke word by word to Lauren, "Back then, in order to marry into the Frost family, you pushed Ryan's pregnant mother down the stairs. Have you forgotten?""You need evidence to say that!" Lauren's voice rose and fell, seemingly very angry at my accusation!Just as Grandfather said, she thought that by destroying the surveillance, she left no evidence behind.Jessica, reminded by her words, also seized the crux of the matter. "Right, Charlotte, conviction isn't solely based on hearsay. Evidence, right?"I called Gary to bring over the document I had just given to Ryan.
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 168
On the day Grandfather passed away, he mentioned that Ryan would eventually find out. He couldn't be kept in the dark forever. Knowing that night was better than knowing later, to prevent him from being deceived by this Lauren and Jessica any longer.However, what caught me off guard was Albert, sounding puzzled on the phone. "Mrs. Frost, where did you hear about this?"My vision almost blacked out. I could already sense Ryan's extremely cold gaze!"Grandfather told me." I even started to doubt if I had remembered something wrong, but quickly confirmed that I hadn't. I tried to remind him, "Albert, don't you remember? It was in Grandfather's study that day, and Grandfather even took...""Are you mistaken?" Albert interrupted me abruptly!I was completely dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. "How could I possibly forget such a big thing...""Charlotte!" Jessica, who had been nervous, suddenly sneered. "Are you trying to bribe Albert to testify for you? Unfortunately, he was Gran

Charlotte patted her head. "First, make a video call to that little girl." Jane quickly found her phone and opened the landlord's WhatsApp. As soon as the call connected, the little girl appeared on screen, her eyes red. Tears were still visible on her face. The landlord was sitting next to her, waiting, not having gone to sleep. Jane apologized, "Sorry to disturb your rest." "Don't say that." The landlord gently patted her daughter's head. "I'm just happy you're alright." Jane smiled at the little girl. "Thanks to Celine, I'm fine." The little girl leaned closer to the screen. "Jane, you're lying. Your lips are swollen." Jane cleared her throat. "I ate something spicy earlier." She quickly added to prevent the little girl from saying anything else, "Alright, go to sleep now. We'll talk more when you get out of school. Jane went through a lot today, and she's tired too." The little girl, very understanding, handed the phone to her mother and went to bed

The captain laughed. "Don't think that just because we're from abroad, we don't understand anything.""Young lady, if you want to buy some time, then I'll play along with you. But if you're hoping for someone to rescue you, I advise you to give up on that thought. This is the border. Domestic ships can't get through here."Well, you don't know Frank.There's no one who can stop him from going where he wants to go.Jane tried her best to suppress her fear. "Sir, I have all kinds of tricks. If I can make you guys happy, can you spare my life?"She reached out, grabbed the captain's belt, and moved closer."As long as you don't kill me, you'll be my savior. I'll be yours from now on and let you have your fun with me. Is that okay?"Although Jane hadn't dressed herself up recently.But her facial features were stunning. Those fox-like eyes with a smile in them were even more alluring.The captain kept swallowing saliva. Apparently, he was attracted.However, they had already rece

They were anxious, not just because of the situation, but because they feared Zachary would go mad and go abroad with Jane. Frank glanced at their expressions and immediately understood that they were aware of Lexi's plan to send Jane abroad. "I suggest that while Zachary is looking for Jane, you should take care of the Sanchez family's matters. Otherwise, when Zachary comes back, there will be hell to pay." Jane ate the meal the waiter brought and then felt drowsy. She fell into a light sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already half past nine. She remembered the things she had told the little girl before leaving and quickly grabbed her phone to call. But just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several adult men stormed in and grabbed her, dragging her outside. "What are you doing?" They had originally planned to reach the border, but unexpectedly, a violent storm had forced a slight course change. This delay allowed the effects of th

Lexi said, "The plane will leave traces. By then, Zachary will find you. The ship will change at the border and private sea areas. Once she changes ships, it will be hard to track." Jane remembered when Jack had taken Charlotte away before. She felt a sense of unease. After all, Lexi wasn't someone she could fully trust. "I didn't expect you to be so timid." Lexi noticed Jane's worry. "I thought someone with your background, who dared to pursue someone as different as Zachary, and even date him, would have extraordinary courage." But wasn't Jane regretting it now? Otherwise, why would she be running away? She decided not to care anymore. With a firm heart, she boarded the ship. Lexi smiled in satisfaction, but then a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke to the captain. "When we reach the border, throw her into the sea and feed her to the sharks." No matter where she went, as long as Zachary wanted to find her, it was just a matter of time.

Lexi was so angry that she wanted to smash something. She got up and walked away, with each step of her high heels hitting the ground, the sound echoing her immense fury. The more difficult it was to conquer, the more determined she became to conquer it! Zachary went directly back to the Collins family home. The Collins family members were somewhat uneasy. When they saw him come back alone, they were both shocked and suspicious. "Did Lexi not come back with you?" asked Rebecca. Zachary did not respond and walked upstairs with long strides. Rebecca, along with Sir Collins and Madam Collins, exchanged gazes, all feeling something was off. It was strange that Zachary had actually returned to the Collins family. "Sean." Rebecca saw someone else entering behind him and immediately asked, "Did you follow him the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual?" Sean bent slightly, his face carrying a polite smile as he respectfully replied, "No abnormalities w

The situation between Zachary and Jane's relationship had not been made public. It was normal for the employees at the company not to know about it. Zachary did not answer when people congratulated him, and Lexi stood silently by his side, not saying anything either. But to those around them, their actions were as good as an admission.Some people even offered their congratulations, but Zachary didn't acknowledge them. He didn't go upstairs. Instead, he turned and left the building. This time, he didn't even get into Lexi's car. The smell inside the car was too overwhelming, making him dizzy.Lexi followed him, and they entered a nearby cafe. He didn't go straight to Jane's place, but Lexi knew that was just a way of hiding his true intentions. However, she wasn't concerned. After all, the Collins family would never approve of him being with Jane. She just needed to give him a bit of time to play along."Mr. Collins, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?" Lexi asked with a sli
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 854
The shock from the Collins family was too much for her. She wouldn't take the initiative, nor would she have the courage to continue with him.So what other way did he have?He'd tried both soft and hard tactics, yet this situation was still more complicated than advanced mathematics.The next day.Lexi invited Zachary out.But the Collins family hesitated.Rebecca said, "Why don't you two spend some more time getting to know each other at home first?"Lexi smiled. "Mrs. Collins, I know what you're worried about, but that woman is no longer in Jeswood."Rebecca was aware of this.After all, they had been keeping an eye on Jane's movements. They even knew where she was staying.It was surprising that Lexi had just returned a day ago, yet she had already figured it out.This kind of method and family background was exactly what the Collins family needed.It was also what Zachary needed."I've erased all traces. Even if he wants to find her today, he won't be able to, and it

The landlord nodded understandingly. "You young people do have a lot of new ideas."They chatted casually and soon reached the large square.The stage had already been set up.They had arrived early, but there were already a lot of people gathered.Jane commented, "It's quite formal."The landlord proudly replied, "This isn't just a community event, there are even celebrities."Jane became a little curious and wanted to see what celebrities were here.It turned out to be an R-list boy band, along with a few elderly artists.Well, it was still a big stage.She watched for a while, but soon lost interest. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom.Under the cover of night, she wandered around.She spotted a small shop and bought a bag of cheese-flavored chips to eat.This kind of life, she thought, couldn't last long. She hoped Zachary would hurry up and get married, so he would stop bothering her."Jane..." Jane was lost in thought when the voice startled her, almost caus

"Stop dreaming."Lexi, despite her feelings for Zachary, couldn't suppress her anger anymore."You want to marry that woman? That's nothing but wishful thinking."Zachary's gaze was icy, and every word he spoke, from his thin lips, carried a chilling frost."Her name is Jane."Lexi, at this point in her life, had never met a man who not only showed no interest in her but also repeatedly poked at her vulnerabilities."The more you protect her, the more dangerous she becomes. My offer won't change. You'll come to me eventually."With that, she turned, her heels clicking sharply as she walked toward the door."Excuse me, open the door."Sean opened the door.Lexi held her head high as she walked downstairs.Sean was about to close the door when Zachary threw the food outside.He even "thoughtfully" closed the door after that.When Rebecca saw the untouched food that Sean had brought down, she couldn't help but feel some pity."Not eating yet?"She had just praised Lexi for
