After saying that, I picked up my bag from the chair and turned to leave."Bitch!" Bethany cursed angrily behind me.I clenched my fists, acting as if I hadn't heard her, focusing solely on getting away.But to my surprise, I soon found myself lost within the residence.After turning several corners, I glanced to see a courtyard that felt oddly familiar.Despite being large and clean, the courtyard had a deserted air, as if it hadn't been lived in for a long time.Driven by some strange impulse, I walked in. As soon as I stepped inside, the gate behind me slammed shut.In the next moment, a tall figure pressed me against the door.The familiar scent surrounded me, leaving me nowhere to escape.I looked up in shock, meeting his deep, dark eyes!His well-defined fingers gripped my waist, his gaze tender and gentle. "What are you doing in the Shaw family's residence?""It's none of your business!" I was instantly infuriated, trying to struggle but unable to move.Ryan stared a

Whether it was the announcement of the marriage or the notice of divorce, I complied without a hitch. I thought that would be the end of it, that we would each go our separate ways.But I didn't expect that even my mere presence would be intolerable to them.Ryan held me tightly, as if trying to meld me into his bones and flesh, his voice low and soothing. "No! Charlotte, that's not what I meant. Don't be so upset.""Then what do you mean?"I struggled to control my trembling body, speaking with biting sarcasm. "Are you saying you never thought about marrying her? Are you saying that sending me abroad was all for my sake?"What about the shot fired at me, or his defense of Bethany in front of Madam Shaw? What did those count for? A joke? Or was it that I deserved it?I wouldn't believe it again, and I didn't dare to.The harsh words from Bethany and her mother, though stinging, contained truth—I was never in the same world as Ryan.Once, because of Grandpa, I had briefly aligne

It was as if he was performing some grand ritual.To those who knew better, it was just closing the door and changing the code. To those who didn't, it might seem like he was praying to the gods.I then realized what was going on. "This is... your little fiancee's courtyard?"Frank's thick, rigid lashes fluttered slightly as he shot me a sideways glance. "You're asking even though you know?""You..." I couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever thought about what if you really can't find her?"He fixed his gaze on me, narrowing his eyes and curling his lips in a smirk. "Even then, I wouldn't lower myself to anyone's level, including yours.""Then you really are overthinking things." I almost choked on his words. "I wouldn’t want someone like you even if you threw yourself at me."Being hurt by Ryan because of his “true love” was enough.From now on, I would stay far away from men with a “true love” in their hearts.Besides, who was he? The heir of the Smith family, the sole success
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 287
Of course, he found her appealing.Otherwise, how could Ryan have changed his attitude so quickly, with both the marriage and the divorce?His thoughts aligned with Bethany's, and even with mine. Bethany raised her chin with confidence. "What do you think? I can't be less than Charlotte, can I?"What was I caught in the crossfire for?Fortunately, a servant soon came running in, saying, "Madam Shaw, Miss Shaw, Mrs. Shaw has returned."The person backing Bethany had come back.Bethany wiped her face with some tissue, then, with a triumphant air, took Ryan's arm and hurried out to 'report.'In my mind, I only had one thought. ‘I Can’t stay here anymore.’Bethany was annoying enough. Mrs. Shaw’s presence would only make things worse.I straightened up, looked at Madam Shaw, and spoke softly, "Grandma, I need to go back to Jelaston today. I'll leave now. Next time, I'll come back to visit you in Jeswood."Madam Shaw seemed a bit disappointed but didn't say much, only asking me to

Naturally, I knew it wasn't me, but I was used to responding.He squinted dangerously, revealing a hint of recklessness. "Those who've bullied you should pay some price."I laughed lightly. "And then?""There's nothing more." Frank shrugged, leaning back against the headrest with his eyelashes lowered, concealing all emotions. "You've always been on the Wilson family's household register. Before Lily disappeared, you were already Charlotte of the Wilson family.""But for some reason, just like Grandma, I occasionally find myself genuinely attracted to you."I immediately tensed up, watching him warily.He was instantly amused, the corners of his mouth lifting in a smirk. "What's with that expression? Do you think I'm desperate?""Well, you never know." I smiled and tightened my coat, trying to dispel the heavy atmosphere in the car.He yawned, dismissing it with a single phrase. "So childish."Then, he pulled out an eye mask from somewhere and fell asleep quietly.The next da

I was extremely puzzled.If it wasn't him, then who sent them?The RF Group is only something we've had dealings with through him...While I was contemplating this, Ian's voice on the phone suddenly brightened with realization. "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I remember now! It was me! I had my assistant order them. He must have made a mistake; I only intended for him to order 99, to wish your company great success and longevity."Ian sounded somewhat apologetic. "999 is indeed a bit excessive. Did it cause you any trouble?""Oh..."Looking at the flower baskets piling up from the elevator into the company, I smiled with a bit of a headache. "It's not really a trouble... I'll see if I can negotiate with the florist to return some of them. Otherwise, it costs too much.""No need, no need. He can afford that," Ian blurted out. Then cleared his throat and added, "My assistant is just here for something to do. He's quite wealthy. I'll deduct this from his bonus.""Alright." I thanked him again

Jane disagreed with my thoughts. "Besides, you're divorced now. Do you think a few words will make him give up? It's better to set a deadline like you've done now."That was precisely what I had considered.When I first learned that Jack had been in love with someone for twenty years, I thought that girl was very fortunate. But upon realizing it was me, I felt more of a sense of indebtedness.Indebtedness...It was hard to respond to.During my silence, Jane leaned on the desk, her fingers playing with my earrings. "Charlotte, why not give Jack a chance? In this day and age, such a devoted man is rare.""It's precisely because he's so good that I need to be more cautious."Otherwise, it would be playing with someone's feelings.A hundred percent sincerity deserves a hundred percent sincerity in return. If I can't give that, then he should be encouraged to find someone who can truly reciprocate his feelings.Jane couldn't persuade me and gave up. "By the way, let's go to the us
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 291
Meanwhile, a force was pulling the door from the inside just as I was about to peek in. A waiter blocked my view.This place pays great attention to guest privacy.The waiter said, "Hello, are you a friend of Mr. Wilde?"The name was unfamiliar to me.I had no choice but to shake my head. "No, I must have gone to the wrong room."As I turned to leave, it felt like someone was staring at me intensely, making me feel uneasy.When I glanced back, the door to the private room was already closed tightly.Back in the room, Jane had already ordered the food. "Take a look, is there anything you want to eat?""I'm not picky. Just order what you want."Thinking about what happened earlier, I was somewhat preoccupied.It wasn't someone I knew, but what they talked about sounded very much like something that happened to me.It almost felt like a perfect fit.But I had never heard of someone called Mr. Wilde being close to Ryan.Jane noticed something was off and leaned close to my ear

Frank wasn't polite about it. "Even though it was my wife helping Jane worry less that led to this outcome, she still put in effort. So, consider this a favor you owe. If my wife ever faces any difficulties, you must help."‘Do they see me as a wishing well or something?’One after another, people would toss him a coin and expect him to grant a big favor in return.But since the words had already been spoken, there was no way to take them back.In any case, he did receive some very useful information."Fine."Frank left, satisfied.Once he got into the car heading to the airport, he sent a message to Charlotte, asking for a reward.After a long while, a photo came through from her.The moment Frank saw it, he felt a rush of heat coursing through his entire body."Frank..."From the front seat, Alan glanced back through the rearview mirror and was stunned. "Your nose is bleeding! We're still near the Greyson family's hospital. Should we stop and check?"Frank calmly grabbed

"Did you think I was that wife of yours, who’s currently staying with his lover?"Westley didn't even look at him, nor did he respond."Tsk."Frank casually sat down, placing the cheap fruit basket he had bought on the side. "I came all this way just to visit you. Zachary didn’t have time, so he asked me to check in on you on his behalf."Westley glanced at the low-quality fruit basket. "You, Frank, with your wealth and business empire, can't even afford a premium fruit basket?"Frank chuckled. "Oh, I see. You can't lash out at others, so you're taking it all out on me, huh? Fine, I'll let it slide, considering you're the patient here. Me? I've got a wife, and she manages all the money. Premium fruit baskets need her approval, and she said no. Even this ordinary fruit basket used up my entire monthly allowance."Westley, hearing the word "wife" repeated so many times, wanted to shove a dirty sock in Frank's mouth.‘Oh, so having a wife makes you all high and mighty?’It was as

Jordan was awakened by a tempting aroma.Groggily, she sat up and realized she was still hooked up to an IV drip.Her body felt as though it had been pulled from water, drenched and weak.Looking around, the clean and warm-toned surroundings reminded her that she was at Oliver's house."Awake?"Oliver walked in, placing his warm hand gently on her forehead."The fever has gone down a bit."The medication in the IV bottle had just run out.He bent down, held her hand, and swiftly removed the needle.Jordan didn't feel any pain at all."Hold it here yourself," he instructed.Jordan pressed down on the needle site as instructed, while Oliver went out and returned with two bags in his hands."The bathroom is just next door. Change your clothes and come have something to eat."After her grandfather's passing, Jordan had rarely experienced such detailed care.The members of the Howard family were kind to her, but they were still Westley's relatives.During the years of his sil

"Then how about I end my life in return?"In the end, Buck left.Caught in the middle, there was only so much he could do.However, he still acted cautiously and recorded the conversation.At least when reporting to Westley later, he might avoid harsher consequences.Oliver poured Jordan a glass of water and proactively explained, "Bringing you to my house was indeed thoughtless of me. But you didn't want to go to the hospital, and I felt a hotel wasn't suitable for recovering, I'm sorry.""Oliver, you don't need to apologize," replied Jordan, taking a sip of the water. "You didn't do anything wrong."Oliver saw the redness on her cheeks and her tired demeanor and didn't say much more."Get some rest first. The doctor will be here soon to set up an IV drip for you.""Alright." Jordan nodded, pulling the blanket over herself and lying down. "Thank you, Oliver.""There's no need for such words between us," Oliver said softly.His eyes were gentle, brimming with affection, but

Oliver originally had no intention of getting involved in their marital issues.Besides, judging by Jordan's state, this marriage was bound to end sooner or later.He just needed to wait.However, Jordan had clearly been unhappy for some time now.And today, seeing her so ill, he couldn't suppress his emotions any longer."As a husband, you've truly failed," he said.Not to mention that, over the years, Oliver had never heard Jordan speak about her husband.The moment he learned she was married, she was already preparing for a divorce.And it seemed urgent.That alone was proof of how deeply Westley had hurt her.Oliver continued, "Taking your anger out on me—what does that prove? It's just impotent rage."Westley wanted to refute him but had to admit that Oliver was right.Looking back at everything he'd done in the past, he felt like slapping himself.Still, no matter what happened between him and Jordan, an outsider had no right to interfere.But before he could say an

After getting into the car, Jordan woke up but didn't want to go to the hospital.Oliver also thought about going to a hotel, but it wasn't as convenient as home.First, hotels were always crowded with people coming and going. Second, no matter how clean they were, they still couldn't compare to the comfort of home.So he took the liberty of taking Jordan back to his own house.Jordan didn't know where she was, she just felt the soft bed beneath her and immediately found a comfortable position to sleep.Oliver removed her shoes and covered her with a blanket.Then, he went to call a family doctor to come over.Meanwhile, Buck only made it as far as the entrance of the neighborhood but couldn't get in.Oliver's family had some influence and lived in an upscale community.The security was quite good.Buck had to pull some strings to get in, and then he squatted outside Oliver's house.In the meantime, he was also thinking about how to report the fact that Jordan had been carri

Buck's unchanging poker face was stunned. "Wasn't it benign?""Well, someone has a death wish."That was true.Buck was about to say something when he heard Westley calling him. He quickly walked into the ward.He didn't need to listen, he knew it was something about Jordan."Go after her immediately. Keep a close watch on her and report back to me in real-time."Buck had been by Westley's side all these years.He thought he would be asked to arrange for someone trustworthy to keep an eye on her.But it turned out that it Westley was sending him."Sir, I can send Silas.""You go." Westley massaged his temples. "Silas still has his own matters to deal with.""Then what about Jax...""You go." Westley's eyes grew cold. "Do I need to repeat myself?""But what about you...""Do you think I’ll die in the Greyson family's hospital?"Well, that was not possible.The Greyson family's security was only slightly inferior to the Howard family's.But Buck had never left Westley's

"Mr. Howard’s illness is quite serious this time, but it wasn’t because he caught a cold from bringing you to the hospital today. It’s because he’s already been in poor health recently. It’s just a coincidence that the cold worsened his condition. Considering the past relationship, please stay and keep him company. Your fever hasn't subsided, and it's a good opportunity to rest in the hospital for a few days."Jordan remained silent. At that moment, her phone rang.She thought it was the driver calling, but when she picked up, it was Oliver."Oliver.""Have you finished what you’re doing?" Oliver's gentle voice sounded on the other end of the line. "There's work here. Once you're done, come over. It’s fine if you’re not done yet. It's not an animal shoot. If you can't spare the time, I'll contact someone else."Jordan quickly replied, "I'll fly over right now.""Mrs. Howard, you're still running a fever." Buck spoke up, earning an angry glare from Jordan."Jordy, are you running

Jordan's face turned red with anger, and she yelled, "You're sneaky and cunning. You’re just a scumbag!"Westley bent down to pick up the door handle and handed it to her."How did a perfectly fine door break in your hands? Instead of cursing, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"Suddenly, Jordan wasn't angry anymore.In fact, she even laughed.Because she was truly speechless."Westley, you're making me feel that having feelings for you back then was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I was really stupid, actually feeling sad and upset for someone like you, who is full of lies and has a scheming heart. You don't deserve it. Westley, you... don't... deserve it."Westley hadn't expected this outcome.It had been a good opportunity, and he really wanted to sit down and have a proper conversation with her.But what happened last night was beyond his expectations.He hadn't predicted today's situation either."I didn't mean it like that... let me explain..."Jordan interrupted
