Semua Bab Ex-husband’s Regret: Bab 531 - Bab 540

I sighed, looking at Jack. “Jack, thank you for today. Your injury… it’s also because you were saving me. If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to call me.”“Okay.”Jack gave a gentle smile and glanced toward the emergency room. “Since Mr. Smith is here with you, I’ll leave for now. I’ll be in Jeswood for a while, so if you need anything, feel free to contact me.”“Jack, take care of your injury.”Frank casually placed a large hand on my shoulder. “If she needs anything, I’ll take care of it. It’s unlikely it will trouble Jack.”Jack cocked his brows. “Well, I’m not sure about that.”With that, he said his goodbyes and left.Once he was gone, my thoughts were entirely on Grandma. I had no idea how things were going in the emergency room.According to K, the drug injected into Grandma shouldn’t cause immediate death. But if it was poison, getting the antidote wouldn’t be easy…Thinking about this made me feel anxious.The large hand resting on my shoulder tigh

Although K had been affiliated with Jack for many years, he was still over 20 years older and could read some of his thoughts.K had always known that Jack was ruthless, but he wasn’t sure just how deeply he felt about Ms. Wilson. He wondered when Jack’s patience would completely wear thin and when he would use direct methods instead of weaving a complex web as he was doing now.Jack put the medicine bottle into his suit pocket and stood up under K’s probing gaze. “I’m leaving.”K asked, “What about the next steps?”“Your priority…” Jack glanced towards the courtyard and coldly reminded him. “Is to immediately move your people to another location.”“Move?” K frowned. “The Smith family has already searched this place. It’s much safer here than anywhere else.”Jack tossed the remaining half of his cigar into the ashtray and said with displeasure, “Do you think Frank is easy to deal with?”“Do you think he can’t think of things you can?”With that, Jack checked the time and warned

Undoubtedly, the message was from K.Frank took the phone from me and made a return call— No answer.I took back the phone and went to the balcony to dial Simone's number.Hearing my voice, Simone seemed in a bad mood and was even a bit surprised. “Charlotte, you’re still alive…”Her voice suddenly stopped. “Why are you calling me?”It was a feigned question.I had no intention of beating around the bush. I said, “Simone, I know you want to fight for the Shaw family’s inheritance for Bethany. Fine, I promise you, I will give all of the portion from Grandma’s will that is meant for me to Bethany. Is that acceptable?”“Oh?” Upon hearing this, Simone seemed pleased and replied languidly, “Are you negotiating with me, or are you… asking me?”I looked at Grandma, who was quietly sleeping, and suppressed my anger. “You can think of it as whatever you like. I only need the antidote right now. Simone, if something really happens to Grandma, it won’t be good for you either, right?”The

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

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
