Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 453
The living room remained silent. Although Luke had left, Frank was still around.The Smith family had long been wary of him, and with the current situation, their apprehension only grew.Madam Smith gave Frank a reproachful look. "You unruly child, aren’t you going to see your grandfather? He's been looking forward to your return!"Since Sir Smith's heart attack two years ago, his health had deteriorated significantly. He rarely made appearances at family dinners. Knowing that Frank might come back today, Madam Smith and Mrs. Smith had kept this information from Sir Smith, fearing he might clash with Luke again. That was why Sir Smith hadn't attended the family dinner.Frank's previous hostility had vanished,. He quickly stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go now."Megan, who had been standing aside, immediately said, "Frank, I'll go with you."In the study of the Smith family's residence.As soon as Luke entered, he kicked Lucas away!He was filled with frustration. "Wha

The atmosphere was tense.Anyone with a keen eye could see that Luke was grinding his teeth in frustration!However, everyone present was aware that the father and son had long been at odds.The younger generation showed no respect for the elder, and the elder showed no love for the younger. It was a family trait, perhaps a matter of genetic disposition.As Madam Smith would put it, this was called "everyone had their own kryptonite."Since Luke, as the only son of the Smith family, was careless with his private life, he shouldn't be surprised if Frank didn't take him seriously.Madam Smith was actually pleased to see Frank suppressing his father.Just as everyone thought Luke might erupt in anger, he approached Frank, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You rascal, fine, I'm asking you as a favor to clean up this mess for your brother.""Brother?" Frank sneered, his eyes cold, and glanced towards Mrs. Smith. "Mom, when did you give birth to a brother for me?"

Jelaston, the RF Group.Having just finished an urgent meeting, Ryan walked out of the conference room.Gary hurriedly followed, reporting, "That Smith family illegitimate son just called to confirm the news about our cooperation with SZ Technology.""Okay."Ryan didn't seem to care, striding towards his office.It was just another round of internal strife within the Smith family. The real question was whether Frank had the capability to decisively defeat his opponents this time.Gary was somewhat puzzled. "Why are we cooperating with SZ Technology at this crucial moment?"Publicly, the RF Group indeed needed SZ Technology's patented technology, but there was no need to collaborate at this particular time.Privately, since I had run off with Frank, why was the president still helping his rival?Ryan tugged at his tie and sat down as he turned to look at Gary. "Do you really think that if I don't cooperate with him, he won't be able to fight them off?"Lucas had ambition but l

"Felix?" I frowned. "I'm not Mrs. Frost, and I don't know you. Please step aside.""Do you know Mr. Frost then?"Felix didn't seem to have any ill intent. His tone even had a hint of ingratiation as he explained, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."I took a step back, looking at him in confusion. "So who are you...?"From his words, it seemed like he was quite familiar with Ryan. But what he wanted from me was unclear.Felix took on a sympathetic tone. "Mrs. Frost, I know you and Mr. Frost just divorced not long ago, but don't you think it's a bit of a pity?""Huh?" I looked at him and sneered. "Are you bored or something?"Felix chuckled awkwardly. "Please don't be angry. I saw Mr. Frost looking lost and disheartened over you the other day. I'm just afraid you might miss out on such a good man.""Did he send you?" I asked.Ryan wouldn't use such an indirect approach.Felix quickly shook his head. "Of course not. It's just... it's been a while since the divorce. No matter the reas

On the way back to Jelaston.Felix found it hilarious how I had completely disregarded him earlier. Since the easy way didn't work, he decided to use a harder approach. He didn't believe he couldn't handle a single woman. ‘As long as Charlotte went back to Ryan, everything would be settled. Ryan would be so overwhelmed with joy at having her back that he wouldn't care about the methods used to achieve it.’‘As for Frank, it was unlikely he would fall out with Ryan over a woman. The Smith family's heir was just passing time with a woman.’ Felix had seen enough of these kinds of situations to believe that Frank wasn’t serious about me.With these thoughts in mind, Felix crossed his legs and made a phone call. "Hello, it's me. Whatever method you use... fuck!"The car suddenly came to a sharp stop. Sitting in the back seat and too lazy to fasten his seatbelt, he was thrown forward into the seat in front of him due to the momentum!It hurt so much that he cursed out loud!The leg

There was nothing else. And all of this was only related to Charlotte. Besides that, there was no other way to provoke Frank. However, Felix, who had always maintained a facade of stability while enjoying a good time outside, was unwilling to believe that Frank's drastic actions were all for Charlotte! The words Felix had said to Charlotte were all about persuading her to reconcile with Ryan. While he had kept this from Ryan, he had still acted under Ryan's name. Outsiders would naturally associate him with Ryan. Would Frank really risk offending Ryan over this?Alan looked at him indifferently. "Frank asked me to tell you, if you provoke him again, it won't be as simple as breaking a leg."With that, Alan turned to leave.Felix, still shocked, quickly asked, "May I ask... what is Ms. Wilson's relationship with Mr. Smith?" He needed to understand how badly he had offended Frank today. If it was just about standing up for a lover, then if he could humble himself for a w

Yasmin blurted out, "What a coincidence?"Two years ago, Christine had impersonated Charlotte, the eldest daughter of the Shaw family. Christine and Charlotte had the same birthday. They were born in the same hospital. It might be normal if only one or two of these coincidences happened, but all of them coming together was strange. Yasmin began to carefully review the documents, and Joanne spoke up at the right moment, "Yes, I also think... isn't it a bit too coincidental?""It is."The more Yasmin read, the more serious her expression became. Additionally, with Christine's "previous offenses" of impersonating someone else, Yasmin had to be more careful. She loved Christine, of course. She would do anything for her. But that was only if Christine was truly her daughter! Joanne, realizing the gravity of the situation, looked alarmed and raised her voice a bit. "Could it be that Ms. Wilson is actually...""Shush." Yasmin frowned and interrupted, glancing toward the

They were in the open, while the other party was in the dark. It was impossible to guard against everything.The search for her daughter had been a private affair before Christine was identified. Very few people knew about it, and they were all reliable.It was unclear which link in the chain leaked information, giving the other party an opportunity.Yasmin thought about her attitude towards Charlotte, feeling a pang of anxiety. "If I'm wrong, then my real daughter is very likely Charlotte... right?""Yes," Joanne answered straightforwardly. "Actually, don't you think Charlotte resembles you quite a bit?""Resembles in appearance?""That's one way to put it." Joanne nodded, then shifted her focus. "But the main thing is her attitude. Doesn't she remind you of how you were when you were younger?"Yasmin frowned. "What do you mean?""She's ruthless when it comes to dealing with scumbags."Joanne smiled. "She and Ryan have also cut ties completely."Yasmin disagreed. She seemed

The fireworks were dazzling and brilliant.Westley looked up in a certain direction.At the moment the fireworks bloomed, a figure appeared in the window of that place.Jordan couldn’t sleep because of Westley’s injury.As she tossed and turned in bed, a sudden bright light appeared in front of the window.She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw the fireworks bursting in the night sky.There seemed to be a few figures on the beach.But Westley was tall enough that she could spot him at a glance.At that moment, she forgot to watch the fireworks.It was only when Westley raised his hand and pointed upward that she looked up.She realized that the fireworks formed a few words.“I’m sorry, Jordan.”“Happy birthday.”Jordan had originally planned to spend her birthday with Nathan and Jane.But when she was brought over by Westley, she completely forgot about her birthday.She glanced at the time, and it was exactly midnight.Her birthday had begun.The night sky

Jordan had eaten and drunk enough and was about to return to her room.Westley called out to her."Wait a moment."Jordan ignored him and kept on walking.But Westley grabbed her arms and she was pulled back.She lost her balance and fell into the man's arms.As she fell, she instinctively reached out to support herself.She felt something change under her hand.Jordan jumped up as if she had been burned.She forgot there was a grill nearby, and as she was about to fall into it, she was pulled away by a force.She only heard a series of cracking sounds, and she landed on something soft but firm.When she looked closely, it was Westley's chest. She was in his arms, and his tall frame was completely shielding her.Before she could react, Buck and the others arrived.The area was crowded."Quick, put out the fire!""Call a doctor. Don’t move Mr. Howard. Help Mrs. Howard up."Jordan was stunned as she was pulled up.It was then that she saw the scene on the ground.The gr

Frank took the soup from her hands and drank it in a few gulps.Then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.It had been several days since they had been close like this.The heat built up quickly.By the time Charlotte reacted, she was already lying on the bed.She covered his mouth and gently pushed him away a little."Let's finish talking about the important things.""This is the important thing," Frank said as he moved her hand away and pressed it on top of her head. He bent down and started unbuttoning her blouse."Frank..."Charlotte's voice was broken by his actions.After several days of separation, his movements were obviously more intense.She couldn't hold back, and the corners of her eyes filled with tears, as the wave of emotions overwhelmed her...Zachary set the food on the dining table and went to the bedroom to carry Jane out.But Jane wanted to walk by herself, and Zachary helped her sit down.Jane picked up her cutlery and started eatin

"Mr. Jackson, what are you talking about? Westley isn’t a fool. Since he managed to take Jordan from your turf in Impelia, it shows he was well-prepared. This preparation probably started a long time ago, and once he found out you were Jordan's cousin, he just sped up the process."Nathan caught the key point. "So, you and Zachary both guessed that Westley would take Jordan and make all the necessary preparations, but you didn’t say a word?"Frank leaned against the doorframe lazily and said, "I don’t know, I’m not close to Westley. As for Zachary, I’m not sure either. Recently, he’s been too busy with his wife and hasn’t been drinking with me anymore."Nathan didn’t believe him, but didn’t say much.Westley taking Jordan from him was his fault.When he was younger, he couldn’t protect his cousin from being taken away.Now, even with power in his hands, he still couldn’t do anything.He had to ask others for help."You keep searching abroad, I’ll assist you domestically." Fra

On the small table beside them, there were several bottles cluttered around.There were no labels on them.Jordan was cautious and didn’t drink immediately. She picked up a bottle, sniffed it to make sure there was no alcohol smell before inserting the straw and sipping slowly.Westley lit a cigarette, biting it at the corner of his mouth. He flipped the lamb skewers over and sprinkled them with cumin.Watching her unnecessary actions, he laughed. "It doesn’t really matter if you’re drunk or not. On my turf, if I want to do something, do you think you can resist?"Jordan paused.She suddenly remembered that the bet wasn’t clearly defined.“Westley, you said that if I’m moved, but before I’m moved, you can’t do anything out of line. You’re clear about that, right?”Westley handed her the grilled lamb skewer and flicked the ash off his cigarette.He glanced at her and said deliberately, "Wrong."Jordan took a big bite of the lamb skewer.She couldn’t help but exclaim, "So deli

Jordan finished her meal and was taken away by Westley.They took a helicopter and then transferred to a ship.In the end, she had no idea where they were.The journey was bumpy, and after days and nights, she was physically and mentally exhausted.Yet, she refused to say a word to Westley.She buried herself under the blankets.Everything she could say or do, she had already done.Now, she could only pray for heaven to open its eyes and make Westley a decent person, letting her go back."How about a bet?"Westley pulled the blanket off, helping her sit up."There are still some days before Jane gives birth.""We’ll forget our grudges for now. If, during this time, you can develop feelings for me, then you’ll lose, and we’ll remarry. If you don’t fall for me, I’ll let you go back."Jordan's mind was racing.She felt like Westley wouldn’t let her go so easily.But there was no flaw in his words.For her, it still seemed to give her an advantage.After all, she only felt

Jane said lightly, “Do you think Westley would let you find him easily?”“No, but if we keep chasing him, we will eventually find him.” Zachary brought the food to her. “Eat something.”Jane refused his feeding, took the plate and ate by herself.Zachary then placed some more food in front of her.Jane said, “You don’t need to take care of me. I can eat by myself. You should eat too.”Those words made Zachary feel a sense of relief.It seemed she wasn’t angry, nor was she blaming him.“This matter was indeed my oversight. I thought that since Jordan was with your cousin in Impelia, Westley wouldn’t be able to reach her. But I never expected that he would be so bold and take Jordan away directly.”Jane understood. “You want me to put the blame on my cousin, right?”Zachary replied without changing his expression, “How could that be? This matter is entirely my responsibility.”Jane didn’t say anything, only remarking, “When I give birth, I want to see Jordan.”Zachary reassure

Westley handed her the phone.“Tell him yourself.”Jordan was surprised the moment she took the phone, but then she realized something didn’t feel right.He gave it to her so easily...She snapped, “You did this on purpose!”Westley didn’t deny it.Jordan didn’t care much about that anymore and immediately dialed Zachary’s number.When Zachary saw the caller ID, his right eyelid twitched violently.Frank glanced at him. “Why aren’t you answering?”Zachary sighed in frustration. “Stop watching the show, you answer it.”Frank raised his hands. “My wife and your wife are on the same page.”Frank’s position was the same as Zachary’s. He didn’t dare answer the phone either.He pursed his lips as he didn’t have the right to criticize Frank.This phone felt like something that neither of them wanted to have anything to do with.In the end, Zachary still answered it.“Westley, you only have one chance...”“It’s me, Zachary.”Zachary thought something was terribly wrong. “Give

Westley was indeed cunning, but when Zachary said he couldn’t guess Westley’s plan, that was purely pretending to be ignorant.Even he knew that intercepting a plane wouldn’t work.Since Nathan was pursuing so closely, if Westley wanted to take someone away, he must have prepared multiple plans.For example, parachuting mid-way.But he was enjoying watching the drama and didn’t expose it.“I do have some responsibility in this matter.” Nathan was always someone who took responsibility for his actions. “But the responsibility of not saving Jordan falls on you.”Zachary felt like his head was going to explode.He could roughly guess where Westley had parachuted.But that place had many landing spots, and it wasn’t something that could be found in just a day or two.Moreover, since Westley dared to take Jordan away from Nathan, he must have made detailed plans.Knowing they were searching, he would definitely change locations.This was a tug-of-war.It was hard to explain to J
