Kevin continued after a short pause, "But it's very risky."Simone's face twisted with anger. "I'm not afraid of risks."Compared to the risks, she feared even more that all her hard work would be ruined in an instant. Back then, she had sacrificed her dignity to take everything from Yasmin, climbing step by step to where she was now. She absolutely could not let Yasmin's daughter take everything back from her.In the following days, Frank was extremely busy, working around the clock. I often struggled to stay awake on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him to come home, but couldn't resist the early pregnancy fatigue and would eventually fall asleep.When I woke up again, I was already in bed. And once again, the space next to me was empty.Originally, due to the instigation of Mr. Smith, the board of directors at the Smith Group would frequently cause problems, requiring Frank's attention. Now, he also needed to allocate some of his energy to help me with the Shaw family’s

The person on the other end of the line didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.Unexpectedly, as I finished my wash and came out of the room, I saw Grandma anxiously hurrying out the door."Grandma, where are you going?" I called out to her and, as I approached, noticed her face was extremely pale. I was alarmed, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?""I need to go to the hospital," Grandma answered hurriedly, forgetting to change her shoes as she opened the door and went out.I didn't think about anything else and quickly followed. "Grandma!"Frank had been busy lately and, with the issues at the Shaw family, there were bound to be some problems. So, he had left a bodyguard with me."I'll go with you. Don't worry." I called the bodyguard and helped Grandma into the car."Go to the First Infirmary," said Grandma.Suddenly, I remembered the call I had received earlier. "Grandma, did the hospital call you and say Ben had an accident?"Grandma nodded. "There was no one t

"Now that I know he’s injured, If I refused to come see him, it’ll be no different than killing him...""You don't need to take it to heart. You've had no father-daughter bond in this lifetime. Even if you don't visit or take care of him, there's no fault in that.""Between parents and children, it's always a case of reaping what you sow. It's unreasonable for him to have never fulfilled his duties as a father, and just because of the blood ties and genes you can't choose, you're expected to be understanding and filial."I indeed didn't have strong feelings for Ben, but I also couldn't stop Grandma from saving her biological son.The reason I refused to come and sign earlier was because I was afraid—it seemed like a trap set by Simone."I understand, Grandma. You don't need to explain to me. You just need to promise me that it's okay to be worried, but don't get anxious or upset. Your health is the most important.""Alright, I know."Grandma patted my head, her eyes filled with
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 573
Fortunately, Grandma fainted because she was overly anxious and under constant stress. After being so tense for such a long time and not eating or drinking properly, her body finally gave out. Overall, there wasn't any major problem.Public hospitals were less well-equipped than private ones, and resources were tight, leaving only double-occupancy rooms. Grandma and Ben were placed in the same room.I had originally planned to transfer Grandma to a hospital under the Smith Group, but considering that she would want to see Ben's condition for herself at this critical moment, I decided not to go through with the transfer.Although Ben's surgery was successful, he needed to be monitored. A nurse was hired to take care of him, and family members had to be present to handle any emergencies, including signing documents and making payments."How come Simone hasn't made a single move despite such a big incident?" Jane stayed with me because managing both situations alone was challenging,

I frowned and asked, "Is it serious?""It's not serious, but because of this, we weren't able to protect Madam Shaw in time."Upon hearing this, I realized that Simone hadn't come alone.But this time, she wasn't manipulating things from behind the scenes. She was directly involved, which I hadn't anticipated.I stared at Simone and said, "I'll have someone bring Bethany over. Let go of Grandma first!""Do you think you have the right to bargain with me?" Simone replied confidently.Grandma looked increasingly weak and showed no sign of resistance, completely under Simone's control.I had my doubts. "If you poison Grandma again, I guarantee you'll face a terrible end."Simone wasn't intimidated by my threat and even deliberately loosened her grip.When Grandma swayed, my heart nearly stopped."Grandma!" I glared at Simone angrily and said through gritted teeth, "Dare to loosen your grip, and I promise Bethany will also suffer!"Simone laughed insolently. "You have no skills

As soon as I turned around, I saw Frank striding in.The man exuded a cold and fierce aura. He was unusually dressed in a suit and tie, though his bow tie was undone and hanging loosely.It seemed he had come straight from the Smith Group.In my anxiety and panic, all my emotions vanished at that moment as I let out a long sigh of relief.Frank walked over and hugged me. He didn't speak to comfort me, but his large hand rested gently on my back, soothing me.Then, he lifted his gaze towards Simone and said coolly, "Looks like you have a death wish."He was usually laid-back and rarely spoke like this.Even though he was controlling his emotions, I could still sense the rage surging within him.I knew he was here for me."You've got the antidote, yet you still can't let my daughter go. If I didn't use some means, how could you, Frank, have appeared here?"Simone glanced at Bethany, who was being held by Alan behind Frank.There were no visible signs of being beaten, but she w
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 576
At that moment, I could only comply and said, "Okay, I agree.""First, let her put Grandma down. If she doesn't, not only will you get nothing, but you'll also end up in prison."Ben looked at Simone. “Let Mom go now.”Simone, wary, scanned the hospital room and instructed, "Get these bodyguards out."Frank raised his hand.Once the bodyguards exited the room, Simone said, "Move my daughter closer to me!"Hearing this, Alan, following Frank's gesture, went over and placed Bethany on the bed near the window. After a quick look, he turned and gave Frank a signal."Frank."Zachary entered and handed a brown paper bag to Frank.He glanced briefly at Jane but didn't linger.Frank gave the paper bag to Ben, who quickly took it and examined it carefully, confirming it twice before signing.Then he immediately walked toward Simone.However, he was stopped by Alan."Put Grandma down," Frank said coldly.But Simone pulled out a syringe, its cold, sharp needle pressed against Grandm

Frank patted my head and said, "I'll handle it. Don't worry. You can't get too emotional right now.""Charlotte!" Jane suddenly shouted, startling me.Frank, who had been maintaining his usual calm, immediately panicked when he followed Jane's gaze.I had never seen such a helpless expression on his face before.The next moment, Frank quickly picked me up. I could feel the wetness between my legs. Blood was already streaming down them.I grabbed his arm. "The baby…""It'll be alright," Frank said in a serious tone, trying to reassure both me and himself.Being so close to him, I could clearly feel the irregularity in his heartbeat.As we entered the emergency room, I saw his hand shaking.Jane was injured and had difficulty walking. Zachary, for some reason, was moving slower than usual.She looked at the man ahead of her and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you answer my calls?"Zachary remained indifferent. "It was too late. It wasn't convenient."Jane's temper flared u

Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

"But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

"Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."
