Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 473
I was so angry that I raised my hand to hit him. "Are you trying to embarrass me?"Frank laughed for a while, afraid that I might really get upset. He quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "Okay, okay, don't get mad. They'll get to know you sooner or later.""Besides, it will make your access to the Smith Group much smoother in the future."Hearing this, I felt like a cat being petted the wrong way. "Couldn't you have chosen a different approach?""This is the most efficient way," he said confidently.I had no response. Suddenly, I realized that I seemed to have been led into a trap by him. "You know no shame! We're just dating, okay? Who's your wife!""Don't you want to marry me?" Frank's lips curved into a slight smile. "Should I marry someone else?""You won’t dare!"As I spoke, I looked up and met his bright eyes. He lowered his eyelids and glanced at the right hand I had been hiding behind my back. "What are you hiding?""Dog food."He snorted and, catching

Frank was emitting a cold aura.It was rare for him to be in such a state.Charlotte was still downstairs at the Smith Group headquarters, and when she called him and mentioned what Paulina had said, he was a bit surprised.Paulina claimed she didn't know Charlotte?When confirming Charlotte's identity initially, a part of the investigation had been assigned to them.In other words, they knew as much about Charlotte as Frank himself did.Connecting the dots, Frank thought back to the misunderstanding with Charlotte caused by the delay in Alan's information last time.Was it a genuine delay, or was it intentional?That matter was entrusted to Paulina to investigate.The person behind it couldn't possibly be Alan.But whether it was Alan or Paulina, both had been with him for nearly 20 years...They must have become too complacent, daring to challenge him now!He had given them too much power, and now they dared to bully his woman!Hearing this, Alan was even more convinced

"Frank isn’t in any trouble," said Alan."Really?" asked Paulina."Really.""That's strange." Paulina was puzzled. "Frank just called me, and his tone was off. Where are you?""The Smith Group.""But weren't you on a business trip? How come you're back early?"Paulina's tone suddenly changed. "Did you go and tell Frank that the last incident was something I did intentionally?"Alan was sweating on her behalf and didn't know what to say anymore.He had tried his best.Paulina wanted to say something more, but the call was already disconnected.When she arrived at the CEO's office and knocked on the door, she saw Alan kneeling on the floor.Her heart sank instantly.Frank was leaning against the desk, casting a disappointed glance at her but not saying anything to embarrass her. Instead, he said coldly, "SZ Technology's Northern Eulast branch is missing a deputy manager. After you hand over your current work, go there as soon as possible to start your new position."Paulina'
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 476
For now, going to the Northern Eulast branch was still considered being with SZ Technology, still part of Frank's team, which was already quite fortunate. Frank did not deny it. "Aren't you going to leave?""Leaving?" Alan was stunned.Frank had punished Paulina but hadn't punished him yet.Frank glared at him. "This is the last time. If it happens again, don't wait for me to tell you—just leave on your own.""Yes, thank you, Frank!" Alan felt as if he had been pardoned. He got up and looked at Frank. "Don't worry, I will never betray your trust again."Frank lifted his hand lightly. "Get out."Alan quickly followed.Hurrying as best he could, he caught up with Paulina just as she was starting her car to leave. He grabbed her lowered car window. "Paulina, I need to talk to you."Paulina turned her face away and wiped her tears. "If you're going to say something like 'I should have listened to your advice,' please just be quiet.""No."Alan leaned in, looking at her through

Each word from him felt like an electric current, spreading from my ears to the core of my heart.I let out a long sigh of relief, finally understanding where his mood shift at noon had come from.Frank noticed my sense of relief. "Why are you still sighing?""Why are you asking?" I pinched his waist and huffed, "Your aura suddenly changed at noon, and it startled me."Frank was momentarily surprised and asked softly, "Why didn't you ask me about it then?""I..." I squeezed my palms, slowly piecing together my true self under his affection. No longer worried about appearances or fearing awkwardness, I simply looked up at him and said, "I was scared, Frank. I might not have truly received anything for a long time, so I was a bit insecure."As soon as I finished speaking, his hand was on my head, ruffling my hair. The man leaned down, his bright, intense eyes fixed on me, and spoke with helpless affection, "Take it slow, Charlotte. I'm only 30. Even if I don't live to a hundred, I

He gave me a sidelong glance. "A little more?""Not satisfied?""That's not it." Frank smiled. "Just wondering, when will it reach its peak?"I curved my lips into a smile. "Well, that depends on how you perform. Keep it up.""Keep it up? I'm already putting in the effort physically."Frank, with a tone of coaxing, slid his hand down to the base of my thigh. After feeling something, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that I don't respect the elderly, but I just want to ask, why haven't your elders left yet?"My face flushed intensely, and I slapped his hand away. "Seven days! There's no way it could be that quick. If it were that quick, I'd be in the hospital!"Frank closed his eyes, resigned. He lifted me down and pulled me toward the dining room. "I'm hungry."Julie had already prepared the meal: three dishes and a soup.I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the dishes and looked at Frank. "These are all my favorites?"Whenever it was the summer, I would lose my appet

After landing, he took a taxi directly to the hotel where Alana was staying. He left his luggage in the room next door to Alana's, intending to catch some sleep and deal with things in the morning. However, his mind wouldn't calm down.Unable to lie still, he got up and went out, knocking on the door of the adjacent room.The sound of the knock seemed very jarring in the quiet corridor.Alana, woken up and irritated, was scared by the unexpected disturbance in a foreign country. She called out from behind the door, "Who is it?"Alex's deep voice responded, "It's me."After a brief silence, the door opened, and Alana, bleary-eyed, looked at him. She rubbed her eyes uncertainly. "Alex? What are you doing here?"The usually alluring woman looked somewhat disheveled, wearing a single strap of her nightdress, with the other strap having fallen off and dangling loosely on her arm.Alex reached out and adjusted the strap on her shoulder. "Why are you wearing a nightdress?"Alana sna

After Alana said this, the man tightened his grip even more.The heat from his palm burned her wrist.It was excruciatingly hot.Alex was already dressed in a suit, his gray-striped outfit looking calm and formal, completely devoid of the lust from the bed. He said seriously, "Alana, taking emergency contraceptives will disrupt your hormones and harm your body."Alana found this amusing. "Having an abortion is even worse for your body. Don't you know that?""Then just have the baby." Alana looked at him. "Alex, don't tell me you actually think you're responsible? We're divorced, and now you want me to have a child for you?""Sure, trade it for 30% of the Jackson family shares!"She knew that Alex held 60% of the Jackson family's shares.Having a child would mean taking away half of his shares.It was a very high price to ask, but Alana was unflinching and justified in her demand.Alex frowned slightly. "Alana, I can offer you real estate equivalent to the value of those share

Zachary had already planned for today.He didn’t take Westley’s words to heart.He assumed Frank would explain things to Charlotte.Who knew Charlotte actually accompanied Jordan to Nelana?“It’s not that, it’s just a coincidence.”Jane chatted with Charlotte and asked about Jordan’s situation.Charlotte said, “Westley didn’t show up, so the young girl is very angry right now. I’m taking her to get some photos taken.”“Then after you’re done, come back. How can I celebrate without you here?”Nelana and Jeswood weren’t far from each other. Charlotte checked the time and agreed.“If you’re hungry, just eat something first. Don’t keep waiting. Once I’m on the plane, I’ll let you know. You can roughly estimate the timing.”“Alright!”Jane hung up the phone and looped her arm around Zachary’s. “I want to eat a strawberry cake.”Zachary helped her into the car and instructed Ross to drive to a cake shop.He got out of the car himself to buy it.As Jane ate, she asked, “So if We

“I don’t care! I must go back and put on some makeup!” Jane declared.Ross, who would rather face Zachary’s wrath than make Jane unhappy, immediately prepared to turn the car around.But Zachary stopped him. “Keep driving.”He gently patted Jane’s back to calm her down.“I know you’re excited about getting the certificate, but don’t get so worked up—think about the baby.”Was that what he thought this was about?Jane grabbed Zachary’s ear. “Are you getting old and becoming deaf? I said turn the car around! If you keep pretending not to hear me, don’t even think about me taking a photo with you to get the certificate when we get there!”In the end, Zachary had no choice but to compromise.Jane hadn’t done her makeup in a while. With the sudden pregnancy, she hadn’t had the time to prepare maternity-safe cosmetics.So they went to the mall, where she bought what she needed and applied a full, flawless makeup look.Feeling beautiful and confident, she finally went to the Civil A

Jordan planned to return to Nelana right after breakfast.Yasmin tried to persuade her to stay a few more days.But she was eager to return and finalize her divorce.Charlotte decided to accompany her since she hadn’t had the chance to visit Dominic and look at the finished products after Jane’s recent accident.Frank wanted to tag along, but Charlotte stopped him. “You stay here and handle things.”Frank sneered. “You’re just tired of me and keep coming up with reasons to stay apart.”Charlotte had been hearing this from him a lot lately and was immune to it by now.She patted his shoulder, linked arms with Jordan, and walked away.Frank was rendered speechless‘Fine.’Westley had never drunk so much alcohol before.Although he wasn’t completely wasted, there were still some things he remembered clearly.However, his headache was intense.Buck brought him some water, asked about his schedule, and reported on the events of the night before.Westley paused while drinking t

She could say nothing more.Moreover, even if she said something, it would be useless.Zachary achieved his goal and turned to leave.After the door to the ward closed, Rebecca picked up a piece of yellowing apple to eat.The old lady of the Collins family sighed, “We didn’t raise him in vain.”Rebecca wiped away tears, she still couldn’t bring herself to like Jane.But Zachary was her only son. At this point, there was nothing she could do to stop him.She could only look the other way and let it go.She said to Eric, “Jeswood is too cold. Take me to Clisfield. This is what you’ve promised me.”Spring had already arrived in Jeswood, it wasn’t cold at all.But Eric still immediately arranged for tickets to be booked.There were still several months before Zachary and Jane’s wedding.In the meantime, she could relax and gradually come to terms with things as time passed.Eric looked at the elderly couple. “Mom, Dad, come with us. The weather there is warm year-round.”Zach

If this were Jane, just a single cough would send him into a panic.Rebecca felt that Zachary now cared more about Jane than her.“Even if Jasper isn’t her biological father, how can you be so sure her real parents are good people? What if...”Zachary finished slicing the apple into small pieces, placed them on a plate, and handed it to his mother.His tone was unhurried. “I can accept anything. As I said before—I will marry no one but her.”Rebecca didn’t take the plate, so Zachary set it aside.The apple, left untouched, began to oxidize and turn brown.Zachary lightly tapped the apple with the fruit knife and said, “There are more than one path in front of me.”Rebecca opened her mouth to speak, but Zachary interrupted her.He pulled out a photo and handed it to her.“The Collins family doesn’t only have me for the official route. There is a sister who can take my place.”Rebecca was stunned. “What sister?”Zachary produced a document. “A recently acknowledged goddaughte

“I forgive you, I forgive you.” Jane ruffled his hair. “Such juicy gossip is worth forgiving. But I’m warning you, don’t try to trick me again next time.”Zachary raised his hand. “I promise.”Jane was satisfied. She ate her fill, felt sleepy, and went to bed.Zachary tucked her in carefully and planted a kiss on her forehead.“I’m heading to the hospital.”“Okay.”At midnight, Raymond released the results of the paternity test.Originally, not many people were paying attention to Jasper’s situation anymore.After all, so much happens every day, and with Zachary’s maneuvering, the buzz had already died down.But as soon as the paternity test result was revealed, it caused an uproar.“I knew it. With the way he was behaving, how could the child be his? And yet, he dared to make such a fuss.”“All those people defending Jasper should apologize!”“Unbelievable. This scum is still alive and even dared to go online to play the victim. If I ever see him, I’ll make sure to give hi

Jane felt that Zachary had too many tricks up his sleeve.Moreover, she felt that it was better not to fully trust men.There was no such thing as absolute honesty.Even she couldn’t achieve that herself.Jane leaned back against the sofa, looking into his eyes.Her stare made Zachary feel a chill down his spine. He cleared his throat and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”Jane gave a sarcastic smile.Zachary was rendered speechless.He tactically glanced at his watch and asked, “Are you sleepy?”“Nope.”“Hungry?”“Nope.”Jane raised her hand and patted his face. “Playing tricks on me?”This feeling was like looking at himself.For a moment, Zachary didn’t know how to react.The corners of his lips twitched slightly as he said, “I’m just trying to discuss things with you.”“Oh, okay.” Jane nodded. “I believe you.”He realized he was wrong—he shouldn’t have tried to help Westley.Zachary hugged her, trying to appease her. “He deserves it. From now on, I won’

Jane found it both infuriating and funny. “Well, he deserved it.”Zachary agreed with her and said, “Westley did try to distance himself from her, but during the years from her university to her career, he kept an eye on her the entire time.Especially because Jordan never dated anyone, he kept wondering whether she truly liked him as a person or if it was because he hadn’t acted cold enough.”“The dramatic part is that when Jordan turned 20, Sir Howard fell gravely ill and insisted that they get married. Back then, Westley saw the excitement and joy in Jordan’s eyes. So, he drafted an agreement that stated they would divorce after Sir Howard passed away. After they registered their marriage, he went to work in another city and didn’t return to the Howard family for three years.”Jane clicked her tongue several times. “His grandfather was gravely ill, and he didn’t even go to see him?”“There were people reporting the situation to him. His grandfather’s illness was a foregone conc

Zachary curved his lips into a faint smile. “You’re so nosy. Why didn’t you become a journalist? Going into fashion seems like such a waste of talent. Maybe you could have got rid of a lot of scumbags.”Jane slapped him lightly. “That’s not what I want to hear.”Zachary honestly didn’t know much about Tanner’s situation.He wasn’t particularly close to the Greyson family—Westley probably knew more of the details than he did.“All I know is that things didn’t end on a good note. For the specifics, you’d have to ask Westley.”Jane stared at him intently, her gaze unwavering.Her stare finally made Zachary a bit uncomfortable.“What?”Jane crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Are you thinking I’ll go ask Westley? That way, he can use this as leverage to make me help him with Jordan?”Zachary massage his temples. “You do know me pretty well.”Jane lifted her chin proudly. “Of course.”Zachary reached out and hooked her chin lightly with his finger. “It’s not about mak
