Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 525
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
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 526
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.

“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

I sighed, looking at Jack. “Jack, thank you for today. Your injury… it’s also because you were saving me. If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to call me.”“Okay.”Jack gave a gentle smile and glanced toward the emergency room. “Since Mr. Smith is here with you, I’ll leave for now. I’ll be in Jeswood for a while, so if you need anything, feel free to contact me.”“Jack, take care of your injury.”Frank casually placed a large hand on my shoulder. “If she needs anything, I’ll take care of it. It’s unlikely it will trouble Jack.”Jack cocked his brows. “Well, I’m not sure about that.”With that, he said his goodbyes and left.Once he was gone, my thoughts were entirely on Grandma. I had no idea how things were going in the emergency room.According to K, the drug injected into Grandma shouldn’t cause immediate death. But if it was poison, getting the antidote wouldn’t be easy…Thinking about this made me feel anxious.The large hand resting on my shoulder tigh

Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”

"Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck

"Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b

Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to

She got up just around noon.After thinking for a moment, she decided to go see Westley.Westley wasn't in the bedroom, so she went downstairs to ask the staff.The servant pointed toward the kitchen, and she walked over, finding Westley cutting vegetables.A strip of bandages was wrapped around his exposed wrist.His pale lips and exhausted eyes suggested he was still in poor condition.Yet, he was cooking?Jordan pressed her lips together, her sleep had been poor, and her face didn’t look good either.She stood in place for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.If he didn’t take care of his own body, what business was it of hers?Westley glanced over but didn’t call her, continuing his task.Buck watched the whole scene, worried about Westley’s health, he was still running a fever.“Sir, you should rest. Let me arrange for someone to cook, and I’ll bring it up to you later. And Mrs. Howard... probably won’t care about you... You should take care of your health. Othe

Charlotte nodded. “So does unhygienic mean better taste?”Jane directly spoke to her belly, "Son, you have to treat your mother-in-law well in the future. Mommy won't be able to back you up. Mommy’s useless..."Charlotte raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Alright, stop the act.""You're even bringing the child up. We still don’t know if it's a boy."Jane said, "I want to arrange a marriage alliance with you. My child can sense his mother’s feelings and will surely fulfill his mother's wishes.""That's nonsense." Charlotte went out to buy what she wanted to eat.As soon as she sat in the car, she received a call from Frank."Is Mr. Smith slacking off again?"Frank chuckled. "I’m calling my wife. Is that not allowed anymore?"Charlotte had driven herself. She turned on the air conditioning and was thinking about going shopping. "I’ve got to go now. I'll be home tonight."Frank heard the sound of the engine and asked, "Did you go out?"Charlotte snorted, "You should know

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
