Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 192
After hearing what I said, he sneered..What followed was an overwhelming rage from the man. His jaw tightened, voice as cold as ice. "So, you went to such lengths to film this kind of thing just to threaten me into divorcing you?"I retorted, "What else could it be?"Could it possibly be to make him see Jessica clearly and return to this broken and miserable marriage of ours?That was too far-fetched.He brimmed with fury, gritting his teeth. "Charlotte, are you sure you want a divorce?""Yes," I said without a hint of hesitation.A dark cloud overshadowed his face. "And what if I don't agree?"I stood my ground. "Then I'll let everyone see this video."I was absolutely certain. Given Ryan's character, he would never allow this thing to be exposed.It would not only be embarrassing but also affect the Frost family's stocks, causing turmoil.On a small scale, it was private, but on a larger scale, it was a scandal for an affluent family.Veins bulging on his forehead, Ryan

"Sure." I nodded with delight, casting a skeptical glance at her. "Is it because... Tom won't leave you alone?""Yeah!" She hiccupped after drinking the water, her gaze slightly unfocused but her thoughts clear. "He said he doesn't want to split up with me and is willing to give up his engagement for me."I was somewhat surprised. "Is that true?""You silly thing!" Jane poked my head with her finely manicured fingers, completely sober. "Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter. Even if he's willing, will his family agree? The Hilton family might not be as affluent as the Frost family, but no matter what, it's not my place to marry into such a family.""Love, no matter how intense, can it withstand his family's strong opposition? Even if I marry into the Hilton family, will I really live a happy life? Only a fool would fall for it!"After hearing her out, I pinched her cheek. "After drinking so much, you're still so clear-headed?"She smiled at me. It was a bitter smile. "It's

Before heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jane stopped me and carefully applied a bright red lipstick for me."For such a joyous occasion, you should be lively and festive. Alright, off you go!"After she finished applying the lipstick, she seemed quite satisfied and waved at me.I chuckled, feeling that my suppressed emotions seemed to lighten up a bit. Yes, wasn't this what I had longed for?I rallied myself and went out. When I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was exactly two o'clock.I had waited countless times over the past three years and wasn't willing to wait any longer. However, once again, it was me waiting for him.Fortunately, he didn't keep me waiting for long.A few minutes later, a tall figure stepped down from a black Maybach. He exuded a strong and intimidating aura, his brows and eyes radiating coldness, clearly in a displeased mood.Since we had reached the stage of divorce, he had become increasingly revealing of his true nature. There were no more
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 195
I was confused and retorted, "What do you mean don’t I know?"His eyes were sharp. "Stop pretending."I stared at him blankly, anger rising from within. "Are you crazy? I didn't do anything, what am I pretending?""You just won’t admit it." Ryan's lips curved into a sneer, and he became even more fierce. He picked up his phone and tapped it twice before turning it towards me. "Take a look. Is this your handiwork?"I was momentarily stunned, then looked at his phone screen. It displayed a hot search that had just exploded two minutes ago. Upon seeing the contents clearly, I was struck as if by lightning!It was a freshly exposed scandal involving a prominent family, and the protagonists were my father-in-law, John, and Jessica.There was even a video.The cover of the video was a scene from the backyard of the Renolds family last night...I could almost recognize it at a glance. I shivered all over, reached out to tap on it to confirm if it was the one I had filmed, but the vi

Normally, I would just feel angry at their behavior.But now, their current appearance seemed particularly ridiculous, and it somehow alleviated my annoyance.I chuckled and said, "We’re not divorced."Their smiles froze instantly. Jessica didn't believe it and sneered. "How is that possible? Ryan specifically informed the Civil Affairs Bureau and insisted on getting the divorce certificate immediately. Charlotte, stop pretending. Being divorced is nothing to be ashamed of."I shrugged, deliberately saying, "Well, I don't know. Maybe he suddenly couldn't bear to leave me? After all, the bond between husband and wife is not something everyone can match.""Charlotte, do you know no shame..." Jessica glared at me with hatred, as if she wanted to gouge my eyes out. Lauren intervened and interrupted her. "You're 30 years old. Why do you always get provoked so easily?"Then she turned to me leisurely. "Are you telling the truth?""Why don’t you ask him?"After hearing what I said,
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 197
"Okay." I nodded thoughtfully, smiling as I asked a cruel question, "What if she tries to take something from you?"This question caught Lauren off guard, but Jessica was nervous as a thief.Her face turned pale, trying to cover her panic, and she snapped, "Charlotte, what are you doing? Now you not only want to snatch Ryan away, but also want to drive a wedge between me and my mom?""Mom, let's go!" said Jessica, grabbing Lauren and trying to leave, afraid that I might say something I shouldn’t.Lauren refused to move, shielding Jessica behind her and standing tall, her eyes full of disdain and scorn."Jessica is right. Don't try to break up our mother-daughter relationship. I know you grew up without parents. Although John and I are remarried, he loves Jessica just as much as I do. Jessica has always had a harmonious and loving family since she was a child. Ultimately, as an orphan like you, you must envy Jessica, right?""Yeah, you're right." I nodded without denying it and sa
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 198
Lauren had already lost her sanity. She immediately tapped on the video, disregarding the passionate and ambiguous sounds coming from the phone.Jessica also frantically checked the top trending topics. Upon hearing the voice, she became even more panicked, her voice trembling. "Mom..."Slap!Lauren suddenly slapped Jessica hard across the face, her eyes filled with blood, bitterly cursing, "Mom? How dare you call me mom? John is your stepfather, do you understand that? Can't you keep your legs together? Do you have to open them for your stepfather?"She had once protected and spoiled Jessica, but now she hated the latter so much.Being betrayed by someone so close to her, this feeling must be even more painful and profound than when Nancy betrayed me.Jessica, ignoring the pain, fell to her knees with a thud. "Mom... it's not me... it's not!""Are you trying to tell me that this video, all those things online, are all fake?!" Lauren was furious to the extreme, her eyeballs almo
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 199
Lauren was pushed unexpectedly and fell flat on her back on the floor, grimacing in pain, unable to believe it as she looked at Jessica. "Jessica... you pushed me? From childhood until now, I provided you with the best things possible. Is this how you treat me?""If you had really been good to me, you wouldn't treat me like this now!" Jessica's face was full of resentment. She squatted down, grabbed Lauren's hair, and demanded with each word, "You taught me to seize whatever I wanted by my own abilities. Aren't these your teachings? Why do you blame me for doing so? Mom... haven't I been following your words?""No..." Lauren was somewhat bewildered, filled with both hatred and regret. "I never taught you this... never, never! I didn't... it's not like that... it's not!" The more she spoke, the more frenzied she became. Suddenly, she got up, speaking vehemently, her eyes unfocused, and ran outside.Jessica looked in the direction where Lauren had left, suddenly bursting into tears. S

Jordan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then stop teasing Aunt Orianna and give it to her quickly, or else we'll be sleeping outside tonight."Westley replied, "What's wrong with sleeping outside? It's not like we can't afford a hotel."Jordan said, "Then you go ahead and stay there. Aunt Orianna’s mad. Do you think Nathan’s going to let you off easily? I think you'll be heading back to Jeswood tonight. Don't blame me for not speaking up for you. It's your own fault. You prepared so much, yet you didn’t prepare anything for Aunt Orianna."Westley hugged her tightly. At that moment, the sound of a door opening came from behind them.Jordan peeked her head out from the coat.Westley's deep voice came from above her head. "Your snowman is about to be buried in the snow. What took you so long?"Zachary said indifferently, "Isn't it because of your surprise? I almost got kicked out of Impelia."He walked over to the snowman and tidied it up.Jane stood under the eaves and said, "It’s still

"Anna." Westley took out his phone. "Get ready, we're going to make a video call."Anna, with her big, sparkling eyes, asked curiously, "Who is it?""You'll find out soon." After connecting the video call, Westley turned the phone towards Anna."Hello, Anna."There was a short pause..."Oh my god!" Anna's scream almost blew the roof off.She was so excited and flustered."What should I do? I didn't put on makeup today.""Oh my god, Westley, why didn't you say we're video calling with my idol? What should I do? What should I do now?""Just be yourself," said Westley. As soon as her idol spoke, Anna immediately sat up straight, not daring to touch her phone. Westley held it up for her the entire time.They chatted for a while, and he held the phone for as long as the conversation lasted.Jordan was worried that Westley arm would be sore so she wanted to hold the phone for him, but he declined, pulling her to sit next to him.Anna didn't chat for long, her idol had other thing

Westley had also felt that the photo was taken well, but the lighting in the hallway was still a bit dim.The atmosphere was good, but if it had been during the day, it would have been even better."Alright."The whole family sat down.Now everyone was gathered, and compared to the lunch welcoming Jane and Jordan, this dinner felt even more grand, especially with the meatballs added.Calvin had been in poor health ever since the incident with the Jackson family and couldn't drink alcohol.He drank tea instead.Raising his teacup, he said first, "I admit that I haven't fulfilled my responsibility to my two granddaughters, so I have no right to express any opinions about whom they choose to marry. But now that they've returned to my side, if in the future, any of you dare to bully them, I will do everything in my power, even at my old age, to stand up for them."Zachary and Westley both stood up, holding their wine glasses, and bowed toward Calvin.Zachary said, "Don't worry. It

Anna whispered to Aunt Emily in the kitchen, "Mom, Westley is quite handsome."Aunt Emily replied, "You only care about looks. If we're talking about looks, isn't Zachary handsome too?"Anna continued, "When I say he’s handsome, it isn't just about looks, it's in every way.""Of course, Zachary is also a great person.""It's just that everyone thought Westley had bullied Jordan before."Aunt Emily said, "Go bring the meatballs out, get the table ready for dinner.""Got it."When Anna went outside, she didn't see Jordan and Westley.Jane and Zachary had planned to go back to their room to talk, but Jordan had said it was snowing heavily and went out to take photos.So they followed her out.They didn't expect that in just a short while, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow, perfect for a snowball fight.Jane started rolling snowballs, and Zachary stood nearby making a snowman.Jordan took a few photos of the scene, capturing both Jane and Zachary in them
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1374
Westley waited for a moment, and after Jane and Zachary went inside, a few seconds later, Jordan ran out.She waved at him. "Westley!"Westley glanced at Nathan, then picked up the gifts and went inside."Hurry up and come inside. It’s cold outside."Jordan reached out to help him with the things, but he refused."I can handle it, it's heavy. You have grease on your hands too."Jordan wiped off the snowflakes on his shoulder. "Have you been waiting for a while?"Westley nodded. "Nathan is making things right for you two. Giving a little warning."Jordan glanced back secretly, asking softly, "What did he do to trouble you?""It's fine." Westley smiled slightly. "Just stood outside a bit longer."Jordan nodded and handed him his slippers.Nathan was behind them, watching the pair of them, the corner of his lips twitching.No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.Zachary had entered a few seconds before Westley, and he was already blending in well with the members of
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1373
Because the memorial was rushed, some of the gifts couldn't be bought straightaway.Aunt Orianna had a lot to say, but she didn't rush it. She allowed them to get some rest firstShe went to prepare for the evening's "big meal" with Aunt Emily.Jordan wanted to sleep with Jane.The two of them lay down in bed.They still felt a bit dazed."I really didn't expect we'd be sisters," said Jordan. "I didn't expect we'd be part of the Jackson family in Impelia. I didn’t expect us to have such a strong background."Jane felt even more moved than Jordan.After all, her childhood had been so tough that sometimes she couldn't even see a future.She never imagined that her future self would be a rich heiress!It felt so surreal.They did get up early today, and hadn't slept well last night.After chatting for a while, they both fell asleep.When they woke up, it was almost time for dinner.They rushed to wash up and go downstairs, seeing everyone busy, they asked, "Why didn't you wa

Aunt Orianna twirled her big wavy curls and proudly lifted her chin, saying, "Well, I'm unlucky in love and have inherited so many estates. Later, I thought, I have more money than I can spend, so it's better not to bring harm to others. Having so many lives on my hands isn't good either. You guys agree, right?"Jane and Jordan never expected Aunt Orianna to be such an interesting person.They were shocked for a moment."Well, Aunt Orianna, you're very kind," Jane commented.Jordan didn't know what to say, so she gave her a thumbs up.Aunt Orianna held their hands and said, "I was young and just wanted to have fun back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost you two. I'm sorry.""Please don't say that." During dinner earlier, Jane had already sensed that although the members of the Jackson family were talking about joyful topics and seemed very concerned about them, there was still a lot unsaid.They hesitated, holding back many words.Now that they were alone, the atmosphere shi

Charlotte had left first and reminded Jane.They were going back to the Jackson family today to reunite with the family.However, there were so many issues between them and the Jackson family, which was why Charlotte left them space to adjust.Once they had naturally integrated with the Jackson family, she would come back to meet the family and have a meal together.Therefore, Jane didn't bring Zachary with her, and Jordan followed her example.As she expected, the Jackson family didn't ask about the two of them. Although the atmosphere was fine, they talked about the Jackson family matters and asked about their lives over the past few years.It was likely that Nathan had mentioned it beforehand, so they didn't bring up their marriage."Tonight, let's have Zachary and Westley come over. We'll introduce them to Grandpa and the others," Jane said to Nathan.Nathan nodded. "Aunt Emily's husband will be back tonight too.""It’s a gathering of the son-in-laws."Jane smile. "Looks
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1370
"Go ahead."Jane wiped his tears and said slowly, "To be honest, I can't say I've completely let go, but seeing you and hearing these words from you, I've decided to let go. Please don't bring this up again in the future. Let's live well from now on, okay?"Calvin nodded repeatedly. "I'll listen to you.""Then let's eat. I'm hungry.""Okay, okay."Nathan knew that when Jane spoke, Calvin would definitely listen.Once seated, Nathan introduced Jane and Jordan to the others."This is Aunt Emily and Aunt Orianna."Jane and Jordan both greeted. "Aunt Emily, Aunt Orianna."The two women's eyes were teary. "It's good that you're back."Nathan pointed to the girl next to Aunt Emily, "This is Aunt Emily's daughter, our cousin."Anna greeted them. "Hello, my dear cousins.""Hello."Nathan added, "Aunt Emily's husband couldn't come right now. Aunt Orianna is single. This is all our family."Jane glanced over and then Nathan leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Grandma and Grandpa had
