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

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

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
