Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 167
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

"So, you're afraid that the truth about his mother's death would upset him again?""Yes." Albert nodded. "The psychologist suggested taking it slow, waiting until Mr. Frost's condition improves.""Got it."I replied calmly, not feeling any other emotions. In fact, if it weren't for Grandfather's dying instructions, I wouldn't even want to deal with the Frost family's affairs.However, when I returned home and thought about Ryan's plight, I couldn't help but feel a trace of... pity.But soon, remembering how he had shouted at me in the ward, that pitiful trace of pity vanished completely.I suddenly hated myself a bit, hated that I was always unable to come up with a foolproof plan.Lying bored on the sofa, Jane suddenly arrived.I opened the door. "Why didn't you just use your fingerprint to get in?""I was afraid I might see something I shouldn't."Jane twisted her slender waist, entered gracefully, kicked off her heels, slipped into her own pair of house slippers, glanced a

"That really does look like them!"Following my gaze, Jane also saw the resemblance and got excited. "Let's go!"She unbuckled her seatbelt and quickly got out of the car.I followed closely behind as we rushed into the hotel lobby.But where were they?We had to approach the hotel receptionist. Jane softened her voice, "Miss, the man and woman who just entered, are they significantly different in age?"Jane was pretty and smiled disarmingly, making people let their guard down easily.One of the younger receptionists fell into her trap. "They seem quite different in age...""Different how? Your head looks a little different to me."The more experienced receptionist cut her off. She looked over and said, "I'm sorry, but we can't disclose any information about our guests.""That old man looks like my dad!"Jane's mind raced, tears in her eyes as she continued passionately, "My mom helped him to start his business from nothing, endured so much hardship, and now that he's made s

"It seems that Ryan, after all the trouble, is protecting his second stepmother?""Compared to him," I pursed my lips. "what I'm more curious about is how Lauren would react if this thing is true."Today at the hospital, she was still working so hard to defend her daughter.If she knew that her daughter had climbed into her husband's bed during these years she was unconscious...The showdown between mother and daughter should be quite spectacular.Jane glanced at me, saying, "What are you thinking? It's like you're planning something unethical."I smirked. "I'm thinking about when I can catch the live action of the piston in motion."Jane cocked her brows. "I didn't expect you, Charlotte, to be into such unique stuff.""Pushed into it."‘Jessica, this time, I will definitely hit the mark,’ I thought.At this hour, the nightlife at the bar had just begun, with loud music pounding the eardrums, and couples dancing intimately in the dance floor. It felt like like stepping into a

I jumped as I turned around to meet a pair of sparkling amber eyes, unconsciously patting my chest. "Jack, you scared me!""Sorry." He chuckled softly, his lips curling. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just happened to pass by."I smiled indifferently. "Are you here for business or with friends?""Friends."Jack's voice was warm, but when he looked at Jane, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. I naturally knew who his "friends" were. Jane also saw through it in a glance. "You guys talk. I'm going to dance."As soon as she entered the bar, she took off her coat, revealing a black silk strap dress that exposed her beautiful collarbones. Stepping onto the dance floor, she immediately drew many gazes. Her dancing was captivating.I watched Jack sit down before asking, "Is your injury okay? You probably shouldn't drink.""The injury's nothing serious, just looks scary." He shook his head casually, his eyes lightly amused. "I haven't been drinking, just

On the way back, Jack controlled the steering wheel, glancing at me. "Are you still worried about Jane?""No." I shook my head. "She can handle these things herself."Jane weighs everything she does on a scale in her heart. I believe she has the ability to withdraw in time."Yeah." Jack responded lightly. "As for the matter with MS, what have you decided?""Jack, thank you for your kindness."After thanking him, I explained, "I can't go to MS at the moment. A lot has happened recently, and I think I need to take a break first."Once the matters that need to be resolved are settled peacefully, then I'll be able to work with peace of mind. Jack didn't mind at all, just chuckled softly. "So it seems like we can’t be colleagues.""Huh?" I didn't understand. Jack's eyes were dark, his thin lips tinged with an imperceptible gentleness. "Some things have to be resolved in advance, so I'm going back to the Renolds family soon.""Back to the Renolds family?" I was somewhat surprised. Fr

I was astonished by his confidence. Yes, I didn't deny that I used to like him a lot, but why did he think I would stand still and wait for him. Why would I choose him forever?My wrist twisted in his grip, but I couldn't break free. I said slowly and deliberately, "I don't want to. Ryan, let go!"The light from above cast shadows over his head, deepening the hollows of his eyes. His voice turned cold as frost. "Very well, you really have some backbone."However, in the next moment, he effortlessly pushed me into the car and slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Ignoring my attempt to open it, he pressed the door tightly shut.Outside the car, two men over 6 feet tall exuded a tense atmosphere, like a spark ready to ignite gunpowder.I feared they would start fighting again, but I didn't know what Ryan said—just a few words—and Jack ceased his hostility. He seemed tinged with resignation and restraint.Ryan pulled open the car door and shoved me inside. As I got in, I heard Jac

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 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
