Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 889
"Don’t mention it, I know what you need."Westley saw that he didn’t respond, but didn’t mind. He turned to Jane and said, "Jane, feel free to handle this however you like. As long as it’s done well, I have no particular demands. But there are a few points to note, and I’ll have my secretary send them to you later."Jane bowed slightly. "Thank you for your trust."Westley still had to greet others. He turned to Zachary and said, "You take Jane and get something to eat. Later, we’ll go upstairs to play cards.""Have your friend stay and join us for a bit. Some of the people here might collaborate with you later, so it’s good to get to know them."Dominic was so excited that he couldn’t even speak. It was Jane who thanked Westley on his behalf.After Westley left, Jane patted Dominic on the back."Dominic, don’t chicken out! I don’t know much about intangible cultural heritage national trends, you should take the lead and talk about your strengths."Dominic scratched his head. "J

Jane couldn’t be bothered to respond to him. She pushed him aside and went over to Dominic to chat.Zachary had intended to go over, but Westley called him over instead. He had his secretary go over to Jane to have her sign a few documents.Westley clinked his glass against Zachary’s."You're quick-witted, aren't you? You knew to find me as your fiancee's shield. Aren’t you afraid your family will find out and get furious?"Zachary looked in Jane's direction, his gaze gentle yet firm."My only wish right now is to marry her."Westley had known Zachary for many years and had never seen him care about anything so much, especially to the point of going to such lengths.His expression darkened slightly. "You now have a weakness."Zachary replied indifferently, "She’s not my weakness."A weakness could be used against you by your enemies, manipulated, threatened, and become something that shackles you forever.He didn’t like that. He didn’t want Jane to ever be in danger."She is

She asked, "You said before that we should eliminate the root cause—there must be a way, right?"Eric sighed at her words."That was before. Westley can easily find a business partner. Jane isn’t the only person in the world who can take care of the business. Even if we do something behind his back, Westley won't openly confront us.""Yes, he would. If I’m not mistaken, he owes Zachary a favor."Rebecca was taken aback. "When? Why didn’t I know about this?"Eric raised a hand and patted her shoulder. "Calm down a little. I’m a bit hazy on the details myself. It’s not entirely clear.""It seems like Westley’s wife once went on an animal photography shoot in some remote wilderness and ran into some criminals. At the time, Zachary was in training and happened to be there."Rebecca thought back to the timeline of Zachary’s training. "Wasn’t his wife still a student back then? And at that time, she wasn’t even his wife.""But she is now." Eric gently pushed her to sit on the edge of

Jane’s attention was immediately piqued. Earlier, when Zachary had introduced Westley to her downstairs, her shock had been rooted in the fact that he was Jordan’s husband, a man ten years older. She hadn’t expected to meet him so soon.Her curiosity about their relationship, especially considering the "marriage first, love later" and their seemingly endless entanglement, was growing by the second. She couldn’t wait to hear the full story. But just as she was about to ask, the door to the private room suddenly opened.A familiar face stormed in, fuming. Without a word, she grabbed a glass of wine from the table and splashed it across Westley’s face.“You’re despicable!”Westley, a man in his 30s who had climbed to the top of the Howard family, was known for his ruthless methods and deep scheming. The authority he exuded was palpable, and everyone in the room, even the most powerful, dared not make eye contact with him, let alone throw a drink in his face.Yet Westley didn’t show a

Zachary glanced at him coldly. ‘He’s always fooling kids around.’He thought back to how Westley had disappeared for so many years, without a word or care. Now, the woman was divorcing him, and it was his own fault.Jordan wasn’t the little girl she used to be, easily fooled by a few words from Westley.“She’s familiar with Zachary. They’re already a couple, no need for me to accompany her.”A scheming look flashed in Westley’s eyes.“This collaboration requires some promotional photos. Since you’re so familiar with her, you’ll be able to work together more smoothly. You should stay and help her out—she’s not familiar with the area.”Jane was about to speak, but Zachary pressed his hand over her mouth.She cocked her brows, silently accusing him of collusion.Zachary sighed.“You don’t lack photo shoots.”Jordan seemed a little convinced, but she wasn’t about to just go along with whatever Westley suggested.“No one takes better photos than you.”‘Flattering, with a touch o

Jane slapped his hand away."Focus on the cards that you’re playing," she said.She turned around and told to her friends to start.Leanne handed her a lollipop and whispered, "This is the first time I've seen Zachary like this. He used to look at no one and was cold as ice. Now he's like this."Jordan agreed softly, "When he saved me back then, he looked down at me and coldly said, 'Fool'. After that, he never said anything to me again. Whatever I said, all I got was a simple nod."Jane had also seen Zachary during his cold period. Hearing this, she chuckled."You're exaggerating. Didn't he just talk to you a moment ago? That was only because of Jane.""Westley doesn't have that much influence. When he saved me, he didn't even know I was Westley's wife. After he found out, he went to Westley to ask for a favor. I can still remember the scheming look in his eyes. But I was pretty happy. Not many people can set Westley up."They were right next to the men, and it wasn’t hard to

Jordan was unhappy. "This has nothing to do with you.""We're not divorced yet.""We're about to be."Jordan tried to grab her phone, but Westley held it out of her reach.She pressed her whole body against his.Jane sneered.Men’s tricks—he could fool young girls, but she saw right through it.She tried to say something, but her mouth was firmly covered by Zachary.She had forgotten.There was someone here who was in on the trick.Westley locked his arm around Jordan's waist, his eyes darkening slightly."You owe me money now. Until you repay it, you can’t get a divorce."Jordan immediately became infuriated. She stomped hard on his foot and ground it back and forth."I can pay you back right now. You can go with me to get the divorce certificate."Westley was like a big bad wolf luring a little rabbit into his den."Jordan, I’m the creditor. How and when you repay, it’s up to me to decide."Clap, clap, clap—Jane couldn’t hold back and started clapping.But Westley

"Even if I have feelings for him, I still wouldn’t marry him.""His dad could easily destroy me if he wanted to."Charlotte had always known that Jane still had feelings for Zachary.The reason she had given up initially was because of Nina and Zachary’s indecision.Later, Zachary’s grandmother’s words had truly frightened her.She wanted to break up, and the main reason was to see if she could love Zachary enough to go against the whole world.But after visiting the Collins family, all that was left in her was fear.Someone who had always had to rely on herself since she was young was naturally someone who valued her own life."I only found out about Zachary’s trip to Nelana the night after the birthday party. But you had booked your trip to Nelana a long time ago. I’m not sure if it was because Zachary got the news and went, or if his trip to Nelana was already part of his work arrangement. I didn’t tell you earlier because I didn’t think it would be so easy to run into him i

Jordan and Whitney chatted casually.Most of the time, it was Jordan doing the talking while Whitney listened.After covering enough about the wedding, they talked about Jordan's work over the past few years.She also mentioned the tangled feelings and past with Westley.When she got to that part, she grew a little curious. "Whitney, before you married Caleb, did you ever like anyone?"Whitney shook her head."What about a secret crush?""Not even that."Whitney rarely talked to others about her past.Zachary only knew because he had looked into her and thought she was perfectly suited to be a pawn.And she had needed to become that pawn—to completely sever ties with her past, achieve her goals, and fulfill her ambitions."I was too busy studying and working to think about anything else."Jordan sensed she didn't want to go further, so she didn't press.Just then, Jane called, saying she and Charlotte would arrive soon and join them for lunch.She relayed the message to W

"We had a meal together before, and I noticed you always seemed to like sweet dishes, so I tried buying some. I was worried it might not suit your taste.""It does, it does." Jordan took a bite of the pudding. "It's delicious. But did you buy anything you like to eat?"Whitney said, "I already had breakfast. I can't eat anymore."Jordan offered a suggestion, "Why not try a bite of this sponge cake? It's a specialty here in Nelana."Whitney really couldn't eat any more. She had a small appetite, a condition built up over the years.If she ate a full meal, she couldn't eat snacks afterward. And if she ate snacks, she would lose her appetite for meals.She had a small stomach.But seeing Jordan looking at her so expectantly, she still picked up a piece of sponge cake and took a bite."It's very good."Jordan smiled and took a big bite of the sponge cake herself."Whitney, you're so good at picking food! This is great!"The old house was a bit remote, but it had a rooftop terrac

Jordan said Whitney would be coming over later.Westley hadn't expected that the first one to get out of bed would actually be Whitney."Just the two of you?" he asked."For now, yes."Jordan glanced at her phone. In the group chat, it was just her and Whitney talking—no response yet from Jane or Charlotte.She more or less knew why Jane hadn't responded, but Charlotte too?Still, it didn't really matter. There weren't any specific plans for today anyway.She hadn't known Whitney was coming, so it was a nice surprise."Maybe my sister will text me around noon. We can decide what to do then.""You." She pointed at Westley. "You are not allowed to show up in front of me again after breakfast."Westley nodded. "Got it."After buying food, Whitney told Caleb, "I'm going to find Jordan. You can go handle your stuff. I'll be staying at her place until the wedding."Caleb leaned against the elevator wall, his voice low and lazy. "You're telling me what to do?"Whitney wasn't in a

She replied with an emoji, then looked for her girls in the group chat to ask them out for food.Their group chat had a new member now—Whitney.And it was Whitney who replied to her."I'm already eating at the hotel. Do you want to come over, or should I bring something to you later?"Whitney had actually had a good night's sleep.Though it was a bit later than her usual habit, she still managed to get up for breakfast.Before, it was always Caleb who brought breakfast to the bedside and fed her, because she simply couldn't get out of bed.Jordan figured she was probably having breakfast with Caleb and decided not to bother her."No need, I'll just eat something nearby. Your hotel isn't close to me."Whitney replied. "I'm heading over later anyway, but I'll probably be a bit late. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat something first. I'll bring you something else."Jordan. "Thanks."Whitney. "No problem."Caleb noticed her holding her phone, her expression much softer, even t

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
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1423
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
