Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 524
I was extremely anxious and didn’t have time to think about anything else. I quickly said, “There’s indeed a problem. My grandmother is missing.”“Don’t worry. I’ll help you look for her.”“But aren’t you here on a business trip? You should take care of your own matters first…”“It’s fine. Your grandmother’s disappearance is a major issue. Let’s not waste any time. Let’s go!” Jack patted my shoulder and went with me into the nursing home.In the ward, only Prof. Kilburn and his assistant were present. When Prof. Kilburn saw me, his brows furrowed tightly. “Ms. Wilson, what exactly is going on? How could Madam Shaw go missing at such a critical time in her recovery?”“Prof. Kilburn, I’m sorry. I just received the news.”I looked around the ward. There were no signs of disorder, which made me even more anxious.Before making any assumptions, I confirmed the situation with Prof. Kilburn. “Professor, considering my grandmother’s current recovery, is it possible she became disoriente

As I was about to open the driver's side door, Jack stopped me and gestured with his chin. “You sit in the passenger seat. I’ll drive.”“Alright, thank you, Jack.”I glanced at him gratefully and did not refuse.I was too concerned about my grandmother’s safety. Driving while distracted would be too dangerous.On the way to the abandoned factory, I first sent a message to Jane, informing her that I wouldn’t be able to make it and that she should make her own decision.Then I called Frank.However, the phone rang until a mechanical female voice answered, “Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later…”I felt an inexplicable surge of anxiety. I was even afraid that something might have happened to Frank as well.Jack, with both hands on the steering wheel, glanced at me with a gentle expression and asked, “Did you call Frank? Did he not answer?”“Yeah…” I nodded absently.Jack understood. “Don’t worry too much. With the patent infringement issue

As we neared the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, Jane called me.She asked urgently, “Charlotte, you said something happened to Grandma. What’s going on? Isn’t she at the nursing home?”“Grandma has been kidnapped.”I was feeling anxious and explained as briefly as I could, “I suspect it’s the work of Bethany and Simone. They’ve informed me to go to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.”“That’s so damn despicable! Why keep targeting an elderly person over and over?”Jane was furious and quickly asked, “Where are you now? Does Frank know about this? I’m coming over to meet you immediately!”“Frank doesn’t know yet. He’s probably too overwhelmed with the patent infringement issue to notice the phone.”As I saw the car approaching the location provided, I said, “I’m almost at the abandoned factory on the outskirts. You don’t need to come; I’m not alone. I happened to run into Jack, and he’s coming with me.”“Jack? He’s in Jeswood?”“Yes.”The car ca

As Alan stood outside the conference room, he glanced towards the door with a troubled expression. "They’re having a shareholders’ meeting. The issue with the M398 chip had caused such a stir that Frank initially wanted to halt production immediately. However, several major shareholders disagree, and there might be someone behind the scenes influencing the PL Group. They refused to negotiate and directly proceeded with an appeal, causing the stock to drop eight points right after the market opened. Frank’s faction is seizing the opportunity to attack and trying to drive Frank out of the Smith Group.”The situation now was one of both internal and external troubles.“Damn, this is really like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge,” Charlie cursed, feeling frustrated. Now he knew why Frank didn’t answer Charlotte’s calls.However, Charlie didn’t forget the main issue. “But you need to go into the meeting room right away and inform him that something urgent has happened to his

As Luke leaned on the conference table, his body swayed slightly, and the next moment, he collapsed onto the floor, unconscious.The conference room erupted into chaos!Two years ago, when Sir Smith fell ill and Frank was reported dead in the explosion, Luke had become the head of the Smith Group. Despite Frank's recent return to the company, the media still closely followed Luke.Moreover, with the fluctuations in the Smith Group stock price, his sudden collapse and bleeding were quickly reported by the media as soon as he was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance.Many investors panicked and sold off their shares, with some who had been waiting on the sidelines deciding to sell immediately.With Luke down, the Smith Group seemed to be in utter disarray. If the funding chain broke, bankruptcy might be imminent!Someone quickly leaked information anonymously, claiming that Luke was driven to collapse by his own son, not due to business matters, but because of a woman—specificall

Immediately, one of the men led us inside and up a staircase without any railings. As I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man with a fierce expression, sitting with his legs crossed in a chair, and my grandma, bound and unconscious, lying nearby!“Grandma!” I quickly moved towards her.Her body couldn’t handle such treatment!However, before I could get closer, a gun was pressed against my temple as a warning.“Jake!”The middle-aged man, who initially seemed indifferent, slowly lowered his legs and smiled. “What are you doing? Ms. Wilson is just worried about her grandma. There’s no need to pull out a gun right away. We’re in Cheria, not abroad.”“Yes, sir.”The gun was withdrawn from my head.But as I looked at K, I felt a shiver run down my spine. Although he was smiling, his gaze was as venomous and frightening as a scorpion’s.He lit a cigar and said, “Ms. Wilson, are you afraid of me?”“You called me here, and I came.”I didn’t want to answer unnecessary questions and got

I instinctively looked at Jack and asked this question.This K had never appeared before. From his subordinates, it was clear he wasn't affiliated with Zack's forces.Jack furrowed his brows slightly, about to respond, when K's smile grew even deeper, making him seem intimidating. “Everyone knows the famous Mr. Renolds. Besides, if I’m going to deal with you, I naturally need to understand the people around you.”Jack, whose usually gentle demeanor was now cold and menacing, said in a harsh tone, “Release her.”“Release her?”K wiped the blood from his split lip and leisurely walked back to his chair, raising an eyebrow at Jack. “Mr. Renolds, how about we make a deal?”Jack replied, “What deal?”“We work together. You help me take down the Shaw family.”K glanced at me meaningfully and continued, “I can have Ms. Wilson delivered to your home and erase all traces of her disappearance without anyone knowing. Neither the Smith family nor the Frost family would be able to find her.
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 531
“Frank...” Seeing him arrive, I felt much more at ease and said calmly, “They injected something into Grandma. I don’t know what it is.”“Oh.” K feigned surprise and said, “Mr. Smith really loves his wife. He dares to come here alone?”As he said, he had investigated everyone around me thoroughly.Frank ignored him and released me. He took measured steps toward K, his voice initially sounding bold and casual but hiding an almost imperceptible rage. “I dare to come, so I naturally can leave in one piece. You’d better worry about yourself.”“I…” K was about to shout something when he suddenly realized something and his expression darkened. “Where are the people I arranged downstairs?”“Perhaps they are injured or dead.” Frank smirked disdainfully. “In any case, no one can come up to help you now.”K was stunned. “Impossible!”Frank replied, “Don’t believe me? Try it.”K didn’t need to try because Frank appearing on the second floor without any warning was evidence enough. Howev

He placed some meat on her plate and asked, "Don't you like being close to me? Or do you still think our relationship isn't suitable for closeness right now?"Jordan couldn't really explain.Westley answered for her, "Do you think the development between us is different from others? So it's awkward?"Jordan thought for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.Westley continued, "So you still want to go through a process before we get to the point where we can kiss in a romantic relationship?"Jordan fell silent.Westley said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing we should be embarrassed about between us."Jordan bit her cutlery, and after a few seconds, she said, "Before we remarry, we can maintain a working relationship. We can eat together, do some things together, but we can't have any intimate behavior. Can you accept that?"Westley obviously couldn't accept it.He didn't really understand why she wanted it that way.But he still went along w

"Otherwise, would you listen to something you don't want to hear?"Jordan didn't want to argue with him. "I'll say this one last time... Mm!"Her lips were sealed, and when Jordan tried to push him away, she kept punching his shoulder.She tilted her head to dodge, but he firmly held her by the back of her head.She opened her mouth to bite him, but he grabbed her face, deepening the kiss.In the quiet office, with only the two of them, the sound of water droplets, which made hearts race and faces flush, could be heard.Jordan, unable to take it anymore, kicked him.But his long legs held her down.She was completely at his mercy, unable to move at all."Um..."It wasn't until the sound of a knock on the door broke the intimate atmosphere."I'm here for the interview... Is this a bad time?"As soon as Westley released her, Jordan immediately pushed him away, wiping her lips forcefully.She stomped on him hard and tried to calm her emotions as she looked toward the door."

Jordan went to sit on the sofa and casually raised her hand toward him."Go on."Westley looked at her, noticing how she resembled a boss, a look that had some of his own influence in it.He smiled.Jordan shot him a glare. "Be serious.""Alright."Westley sat up straight, looking serious.He began to explain his previous plans to her.Except for parts of the plan that needed to be kept confidential, he didn't hide anything else."The reason I had you stab me was indeed to let you vent your anger, to make up for the harm I've caused you. It was just a coincidence that the higher-ups issued an order at the same time, so I decided to go along with it. Now, the plan has been completed. I can indeed come back to life, but right now, there's nothing I need to do. The Howard family has Leanne, and I've already resigned. I'm just a jobless wanderer now, and no one cares. Whether I'm alive or not doesn't really matter."Jordan felt that those last two sentences were clearly meant to

But when she reached the bedroom door, ready to go out and check, she thought again, how could he, such a grown man, possibly be putting himself through hardship?With so many people under him, he could just call anyone to bring him clothes.And he could book a comfortable presidential suite for himself.There was no need for her to be concerned about it.Besides, it was her who had locked him out in the first place.Going out now would only make it seem like she cared about him too much.Right.She shouldn't go out.Jordan returned to her bed.But no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.In the living room, Westley was already lying on the sofa.The heating was turned up high, so he wasn't worried about the cold.He was holding his phone, making some kind of plan.In the end, Jordan didn't even know how she fell asleep.When she woke up groggily, the first thing she did was get up and check on Westley.But she found that he wasn't there anymore.She let out a sigh of

She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her

"I've already picked out a few candidates, but I just haven't had the chance to arrange meetings for you yet. Maybe you've only ever been exposed to him since childhood. Try dating someone else, and you might realize he isn't the only one for you." Jordan shook her head. "Nathan, that's not it..." "I'm certain I like him—no matter how outstanding others are, I won't be interested." Nathan frowned. "You've never tried being with anyone else. How can you be so sure?" Of course, Jordan was sure. Ever since her youthful heart first fluttered, she had been certain, apart from Westley, she would never love anyone else. And that was precisely why his indifference had wounded her so deeply. She had filed for divorce and despised his later attempts at remorse. Because she had never wavered in her feelings—yet he only began to love her after she decided to let go. If he had realized it even a little sooner, they wouldn't have suffered through such a painful, drawn-out

"I’m not doing anything," Westley answered her question, squeezing her hand slightly. "Just need your help with something."Jordan was already in her 20s.How could she not understand the things between men and women?His voice was dangerously hoarse now, and what kind of help could he possibly need from her?"You do it yourself, I can't help.""Well, I’ll do all the hard work."He was the one doing all the hard work indeed.But he was holding her hand, making her hand... move with his!Jordan tried to pull her hand back. "Westley, you’re making me mad."Westley leaned on her shoulder and laughed lowly. "Alright, after you help me, feel free to get angry. Hit me however you want. But right now, Jordy, I can't stop."The temperature in the kitchen gradually rose.With the heating, it made the air dry and uncomfortable.She had just taken a shower to cool down, but now, a thin layer of sweat had formed.She felt hot.Jordan had nowhere to hide and couldn't break free.In t

The arm around her waist suddenly tightened.The breath sprayed near her ear, hot and unsettling.The man's hoarse voice came. "Don't want to sleep? Then how about we do something else?"Jordan gripped the blanket tightly, weakly lying, "I want to go to the bathroom. I haven't washed up yet either."Westley released her.Jordan quickly escaped. She didn't know what she might do if she stayed another second.Westley lowered his head, glancing at her, then sighed deeply.This was a pyrrhic victory.Jordan stayed in the bathroom for a long time.She even took a shower.But after finishing, she suddenly remembered that her bath towel had been taken by Westley.Standing in the bathroom, she felt like she had no way out.And in her haste to come in, she hadn't grabbed a change of clothes.She had impulsively picked up the clothes that Westley had swapped out of and her clothes and tossed them into the laundry basket.Her clothes were now all wet.She could only silently fume.

‘I’ve already taken my pants off and you’re just going to leave it at that?’She thought this must have been intentional on Westley's part.She raised her leg and kicked him, then turned around, pulling the blanket away, her back clearly showing a trace of resentment.Westley didn't mind, pulling both her and the blanket into his arms.He chuckled softly in her ear."Your reaction right now makes me think you're dissatisfied."The deliberate pause was even more teasing.Jordan immediately elbowed him.But because she was tangled in the blanket, she couldn't put much strength into it.The muffled laugh of the man in her ear clearly mocked her, making her even angrier.Her emotions flared up too quickly, and tears started falling.Westley felt the wetness on his arm, it was hot.He quickly sat up.He knew about her tendency to lose control of her tears, but seeing her cry still made his heart ache.He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb and whis
