Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 538
Simone and Bethany headed to the address given by K. It was an old villa district with a high occupancy rate, making it easy for Alan and his team to be noticed if they came to investigate.As they got out of the car, Bethany frowned in disgust. “Does that person live here?”Such villa districts, from the perspective of these wealthy second-generation individuals, were beneath their notice, especially for Bethany, who was used to luxury and had grown up in the Shaw family’s residence.Simone was initially a bit dispirited, but upon hearing Bethany’s comment, she snapped out of it and said helplessly, “It’s a matter of necessity, isn’t it for you? Frank is currently searching for him everywhere. This is the safest option.”“Oh.” Bethany nodded dismissively and followed her inside.K had instructed his subordinates in the courtyard to confirm their identities before letting them in.Being an old neighborhood and a house that had been unoccupied for a long time, there was an inevita

Simone's face turned pale, and she was flustered!At that moment, there was no longer any doubt. Charlotte, that vile woman, had deliberately called her to claim she was willing to give up the inheritance in exchange for the antidote. In reality, she knew full well that there were people behind Simone, and this move was simply to draw them out!Simone gritted her teeth. She should have known that no one would pass up such a chance to rise to the top.She had been trying to understand how powerful blood relations could be, but she never expected that Charlotte had no intention of giving up at all. It was all just a trap!Frank’s thin lips curled into a smirk. “Your mind isn’t suited for overthinking things, and you shouldn’t project your own perspective onto others.”“Charlotte called you because she truly intended to give up everything for Madam Shaw.”“But Mrs. Shaw, you must know that I...” Frank casually surveyed the room with a cold expression, yet his tone carried an almost

Frank cocked his brows and pressed, “Do you want to keep him company?”Simone had always been a bit intimidated by Frank’s arrogant demeanor. She instinctively took a step back, saying, “Since you know the antidote isn’t something he can just give you, why make things difficult for us?”Frank was nonchalant. “That’s not my concern.”“Alan, take them away.”At Frank’s command, K reached for his weapon, intending to resist, but he saw that Alan wasn’t coming towards him. Instead, Alan walked over to the sofa and lifted the unconscious Bethany.K raised his gun and shouted, “What are you planning to do with her?”“Frank!” Simone, increasingly panicked and disoriented, tried to reclaim Bethany but was kicked aside by Alan. “What do you want to do?”Frank straightened up, brushed off the dust from his clothes with his elegant fingers. “When you see the antidote, come find me for her.”“You…” Simone knew he meant what he said and could only grit her teeth, warning him. “You mustn’t l

Upon hearing this, Frank didn't even raise an eyebrow, as if it was entirely expected. He merely nodded slightly to indicate he understood and continued walking toward the roadside.Alan quickly followed, methodically planning the next steps. “Should I have them follow him?”“No need.”“No need?”Alan usually kept up with Frank’s pace, but this time he felt a bit out of his depth. “Frank, he must be going to meet the person behind the scenes, right? Shouldn’t we use this opportunity to follow him?”As he spoke, he ran to the front of the car, opened the rear door, then walked around the front and got into the driver’s seat. After starting the car, he finally heard Frank’s calm voice: “Kevin might fall into the same trap twice out of panic, but the person behind him isn’t so foolish. They might be even more cunning than he realizes.”Alan turned on the turn signal and merged into traffic while contemplating, “So you’re saying that following him would only bring us harm with no ben

“I had Kevin, also known as K, try to find a way to get the antidote.”I was surprised. “He agreed?”“Hmm, but the chances are slim. We need to make additional preparations.”Frank raised his hand, gently smoothing the frown on my forehead with his thumb. “Besides that, Uncle has already asked Dr. Travis to think of ways to delay the onset of the poison. Additionally, your mother and I have arranged for Grandma's blood to be sent to top research institutes abroad. As long as there is enough time, they should be able to develop an antidote.”“Charlotte, trust me, Grandma will be fine.”I looked into his brown eyes, feeling a sense of calmness wash over me. Like when I was a child, I reached out and ruffled his hair. “Frank, thank you.”The next day, I had finished washing up before the doctor came for the rounds.Yesterday, I urged Frank to go home and get a good night's sleep, but he refused and insisted on staying with me on the sofa for the night.After the doctor finished ch

“Stop being so bitter. According to my friends in the circle, this time several forces have joined together to pressure the platform and reduce the hype. I heard even her ex-husband got involved. Maybe her own family background isn’t simple; at the very least, she’s a well-bred young lady.”“Stop talking. Even being related to Frank is already quite lucky. How impressive could her ex-husband and family background be?”“If her family or ex-husband were impressive, I’d eat shit whilst being upside down.”I glanced at the online gossip but felt almost no emotional impact. Since my experience with public opinion involving Jessica, I’ve stopped taking such matters seriously.Jane noticed I wasn’t upset and felt relieved. “I wasn’t sure whether I should tell you, but seeing you not take it seriously makes me feel better.”“Don’t worry.” I smiled a little. “My mindset is strong right now.”Rumors and gossip were beyond my control, and getting angry about them was unnecessary.Just as I

I immediately realized something. “By the way, how is your wound healing? I’ve been staying with Grandma these past few days and haven’t had a chance to visit you.”Feeling a bit embarrassed, I noted that he had been injured for my sake, and yet I hadn’t even visited him.“It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious.”Jack seemed to sense that I might feel guilty and downplayed it. “It should be mostly healed in a while. Grandma’s condition is the real issue. By the way, how is she?”My expression grew slightly somber. “We’ve managed to delay the onset of the poison for now, but I don’t know if we can wait for the antidote to be developed.”“Developing an antidote?” Jack looked surprised. “Wasn’t the antidote with that K last time? With Frank’s methods, he should be able to deal with him.”“Jack, are you here at the hospital to change the dressing, or are you here specifically to check on Charlotte?” Jane changed the subject with a smile and teased, “Speaking of which, Charlotte is

It was unlikely for me to get pregnant after only one time.By the time I arrived at the company and finished the meeting, it was almost evening. I had come with Jane’s ride. I was getting ready to take a cab back to the hospital.Jane offered to give me a ride, and I gave her a sidelong glance, teasing, “I saw you messaging Zachary during the meeting. It’s better not to let me delay your… progress.”Jane smiled brightly. “Oh, have you learned to spy on screens now?”“Just a coincidence, just a coincidence.” I gave a shy smile.She had been sitting at my lower left during the meeting, leaning sideways against the table to reply to messages, so it was impossible not to see.As I was speaking, my phone rang—it was Frank.“Finished with the meeting?”His lazy and casual voice came from the other end of the phone, and I couldn’t help but smile, “Yes, just finished. I’m planning to go back to the hospital to see Grandma, then head home.”After several rounds of acupuncture from Dr.

"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

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
