Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 962
The weather was still a bit chilly right after the start of spring. It was the weekend, and there was light rain.In the morning, most of the people on holiday were in bed, playing with their phones.— #Lirad Mine Disaster#This hashtag surged to the top of trending topics at that moment.Luthor could manipulate public opinion, and Zachary could do the same.The former wanted to remove the hashtag from trending, while the latter spent money to keep it at number one.The video from Jasper, on the other hand, didn’t attract much attention anymore.All the focus was on the mine disaster hashtag, and the topic quickly surpassed ten million in views.And it was still growing.Luthor began to feel anxious and called Tim for an update.Tim said that no one had approached the place where the bodies were buried.But Luthor’s tense nerves did not relax because of that.He called a few trusted people.They all said they hadn’t seen anyone from Zachary’s side near the village."Even

#Paternity Test Report Proves the Whistleblower is a Mine Disaster Survivor#Luthor clicked on the topic and saw the surname "Stone." He felt his vision go dark.The entire family that died had the surname "Stone.""Zachary is staging an act, of course, it has to be convincing. So it’s normal that he knows these things," said Gregory, his hand trembling uncontrollably as he held the teacup. "We can’t scare ourselves. We need to stay calm and not make any rash moves…"Luthor kicked Gregory.All respect and morals were gone."Didn’t I warn you back then? The mine disaster was risky, and we absolutely couldn’t let small gains lead to big losses!"Gregory’s health had been in decline for many years.Although he had been getting treatment, it wasn’t enough compared to Luthor, who was in his prime.The kick sent Gregory to the ground, where he couldn’t get up for a long time. Weakly, he said, "I… I was just trying… for the Winston family to prosper…"Luthor sneered. "Are you happy

Jane said, “This is obviously the Winston family trying to control the public opinion. How could they possibly admit it?”Jordan nodded. “Exactly.”Charlotte made a phone call to Frank. After hanging up, she turned to Jane and said, “Luthor’s father was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his condition isn’t good. He may not survive.”Jordan spoke first, “After all the evil he’s done, I think it’s a miracle he’s still alive. If he dies, it’s just what he deserves.”Jane put her arm around Jordan’s shoulders and shook her head. “Jordan, you’re still too young.”“What do you mean?”“Dead people don’t talk. If Luthor’s father dies, then all the responsibility will fall on him. Luthor is smart, he’ll get out of this unharmed, save the Winston family, and later, when the opportunity arises, he’ll still go after Zachary.”Jordan truly didn’t understand the power struggles of the big shots.She made a cutting gesture across her neck. “With such ruthless people in the W

As long as everything he had remained unchanged, he still had a chance to make things difficult for Zachary.But he also knew that with the huge leverage Zachary now had over the Winston family, the latter definitely wouldn’t let him escape easily.“Luthor, say something. What should we do?”“Yeah, you're the head of the Winston family. You have to ensure the Winston family’s safety.”“Otherwise... well, since Uncle Gregory is in critical condition, just let him take all the blame.”Luthor didn’t want to listen to any of it. He had his subordinates lock them up in a side room.His brain was working quickly, trying to figure out a solution.Just then, his phone rang.It was an international number.A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he answered.“I can help you.”A woman's voice came through, without any preamble.Luthor paused for a moment before simply saying, “Okay.”The voice continued, “But I can only save you.”“That's fine.”He hung up the phone and immediatel

Zachary did not respond to Westley, but instructed Ronan to check the highway toll station for buses.Westley understood.Some buses did not require ID cards, making it difficult to leave a trace.If they had been careless, by the time Luthor reached the border area or took a private boat to leave, it would be hard to trace."I didn't expect Luthor to compromise to this extent."He was 40 years old.His life had always been smooth sailing, always traveling by special car wherever he went.This black bus was truly a hardship.Zachary stood up.Westley followed him out.As they entered the elevator, Zachary glanced at him through the elevator wall and said with a half-smile, "Are you very idle?"Westley coughed lightly. "I’ll keep quiet."Frank came to pick up Charlotte and happened to run into Zachary.His gaze fell on Westley's face, and he snickered, "Mr. Howard, are you retiring?"They knew Westley’s intentions, but they pretended not to.He did not respond, but direct

"There's no rush to eat. Let me first see how much someone has missed me these past few days."Zachary’s gaze instantly darkened, and he pulled her into the bedroom.Soon, the bedroom was filled with passion.The moment Jordan was thrown into the car, she immediately started running in the opposite direction.Westley grabbed her leg and pulled her back.Jordan kicked him. "Get off, you old pervert! If you touch me again, I’ll call the police."Westley helped her sit back down and instructed the driver to drive."I’m not going with you, stop the car!""I have something to say to you.""I’m not listening!"Westley coaxed her gently. "Aren’t you curious? About the Winston family?"Jordan shook her head, "I’m not curious. I can ask Jane or Charlotte. Stop the car now, or I’ll call the police."Westley said slowly, "Jane and the others can’t talk to you right now. Give me some time, and I’ll tell you everything. That way, you’ll be able to chat with them later."Jordan still re

Jordan, fuming with anger, threw the yogurt bottle aside and immediately stood up to leave.Westley hurriedly grabbed her hand, his tone slightly pleading, "Okay, I won’t call you that, please don’t be mad."Jordan shook off his hand. "I don’t think there’s anything left to talk about. If you don’t agree to the divorce, I’ll take things to court. I still don’t believe you can control the entire world."Westley furrowed his brows slightly, then grabbed her hand again and pulled her into his embrace.He was someone whose words attracted crowds of thousands.He was someone who never had to think long about what to say, who could easily distinguish between what was okay to say and what wasn’t.And he was someone who, no matter what he said or did, no one dared to challenge him.But at that moment, the words were at the tip of his tongue, and he spoke carefully."What do you want me to do, so that we won’t divorce?"Jordan couldn’t figure it out. Why did Westley suddenly like her?

"No need, I’ve already bought a ticket."Westley nodded and grabbed his coat. "I’ll take you to the airport."On the way, Jordan kept thinking, but couldn’t figure it out.She had set up a group chat with Jane and Charlotte, but her messages hadn’t gotten any replies for a long time.It wasn’t until they got to the airport that Jane finally responded."Change in tactics."Jordan instantly understood.So, when she got out of the car, she immediately slung her bag over her shoulder and ran off.She didn’t want to say another word to Westley.Westley waited until her plane had taken off before leaving the airport.Once he sat in the back seat of the car, he pressed his fingers to his temple, feeling confused. "What do young girls want these days?"Buck didn’t understand either. "Sir, you should ask Miss Leanne. Mrs. Howard and Miss Leanne were very close before."Westley knew that Leanne would rather watch the show than help him.Besides, her own love life had been a failure,

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
