Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 209
‘Suicide? So, is suicide their family's specialty, passed down through the generations?’ I wondered.I didn’t know what mentality I was in, but almost involuntarily, I asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"Maybe I wanted to see for myself if it was true or false.Or perhaps, I was afraid... afraid that if something really happened, Ryan wouldn't have anyone he could trust by his side.Ryan looked at me with surprise. "Can you?""Let's go." I picked up my bag and went with him to the hospital.When we arrived at the hospital, Lauren was still in the emergency room, and Jessica and John were waiting outside.The scene struck me as somewhat comical.But at such a tense moment, I shouldn't be laughing, so I mentally reviewed all the unhappy events in my life.Ryan, Jessica, John, plus Lauren inside the emergency room.If you were to draw a relationship diagram of these four people, it would probably resemble a chaotic spider web.Jessica suddenly rushed over and shoved me forc
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 210
Jessica clenched her fists quietly, her face filled with regret and stumbling through her confession, "I... I felt humiliated being publicly scolded by her, and in a fit of anger... I said those slanderous words about Mom! I was wrong... Ryan..."Her acting was truly impressive. If I hadn't already known the truth from Grandpa, I might have believed her story.Ryan's gaze fell on John, he squinted his eyes slightly. "What do you have to say?""What do I have to say?" John forced himself to remain calm. "If Lauren really was a mistress, how could we have waited five whole years after your mom's death to get married?"As he finished speaking, the door to the emergency room opened.Ryan remained skeptical and looked at the doctor. "How serious is it?""Mr. Frost." The doctor came out, removed his mask, and looked serious. "She lost a lot of blood. Luckily, she was brought in just in time. If it had been any later, she might not have made it."Visibly, Ryan's tense body relaxed a li

It was Bethany.She stood in the blood-soaked area wearing white ankle boots. Seeing me stop closing the door, she slowly withdrew her hand, crossing it in front of her chest. "Charlotte, I advise you to back off. Stop entangling with Ryan."She found my home address so quickly.I furrowed my brows. "Whether it's you or Jessica, if you're sick, go to the hospital or find Ryan. Don't bother me.""Hey, stop pretending!"She glanced inside the house and sneered. "I've checked. If it weren't for marrying Ryan, you, an orphan with deceased parents, wouldn't afford to live in a house like this even after several lifetimes."She lifted her chin, displaying the arrogance exclusive to the wealthy.Losing my patience, I said coldly, "Oh, and what about you? If it weren't for your good fortune to be adopted by the Shaw family, could you stand here and talk like this? Could you arrogantly meddle in other people's marriages?"Everyone knew how to make others feel uncomfortable.She offende

His voice was as casual, but Bethany seemed somewhat afraid of him.The arrogant expression on her face completely vanished. Pouting, she said in a coquettish voice, "Jack, why are you looking at me like that! I just came to talk to Miss Wilson, is that not allowed?"Jack cocked his brows. "Then are you done talking?""I-I'm done," Bethany answered nervously. Seeing Jack still expressionless, she suddenly became angry. "Why are you and Frank both such jerks? All you do is bully me! Just wait until my parents come in a few days, see if I'm still afraid of you guys!"After saying these harsh words, she left in her high heels, visibly angry, her footsteps loud.Once she turned and disappeared, Jack looked at the bloodstains at my doorstep, took out his phone, and made a call to the cleaning company to arrange for a cleanup.Then, he looked at me helplessly. "Did she scare you?""To be honest, I was a bit startled at first." I smiled and stepped aside to let him in, taking a pair of

Jack suddenly turned around, his bright and compelling eyes looking at me, as if filled with starlight, and unexpectedly asked such a question.I was caught completely off guard, my mind blank for a moment.I had never considered such a matter before.Whether during university or after he returned to the country, I had always regarded him as a good friend.I struggled to free myself from a muddy marriage, and he also had someone he deeply loved for many years. Two people like us should be best suited to remain friends of the opposite sex. No one would need to worry about anything.Under Jack's gaze, I couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. "J-Jack...""Alright." Jack let out a muffled laugh and joked, "Just messing with you. How did you get so scared? You said I'm a good guy, looks like you were lying?""N-No, that's not it." I breathed a sigh of relief and awkwardly rubbed my nose, explaining, "I just thought that question came out of nowhere."It was too sudden.After all, I

"Yeah, I want to give it a try.""You can do it," he looked at me and said with determination.I felt genuinely happy from the bottom of my heart and sincerely said, "Jack, this time, really, thank you!"Although he casually brushed it off, I could still imagine the effort he must have put into retrieving the Charlotte Jewelry.Jack sighed helplessly. "Thank me for what? I originally wanted to reclaim your parents' company as well, but they wouldn't sell it.""This is already more than enough," I replied earnestly. "Having the Charlotte Jewelry is sufficient.""I'm glad I could help."He breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the entrance, opened the door and glanced outside, furrowing his brows slightly. Then he looked back at me. "Charlotte, do you have a rag?""What's wrong?""The cleaning lady didn't quite clean up properly. I'll wipe it again," Jack said gently. "After all, it's blood. I don't want you to see it and get scared.""It's okay."I gathered the documents into

'One really couldn't avoid their enemies.' The first word that came to mind when I turned around and saw Frank's bright handsome face.Jack also glanced at him, furrowing his brows slightly. "You live here, Mr. Frank?"That was exactly the question I wanted to ask.With his background, he could have chosen any villa district casually. How could he be living in a place like this, with its humble atmosphere?Frank smiled casually. "Keeping someone company."'Keeping someone company? Wasn't he earnestly searching for a young fiancee? How did he end up with a child already? But then again, in wealthy families like theirs, it was common to have a couple of illegitimate children making an appearance.'Jack smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Frank, then brought his luggage from the elevator lobby and carried it into his apartment.Watching him prepare to continue helping me unpack, I quickly waved my hands. "Jack, no need. Jane will be here soon to help me. You should go focu

I walked over and saw the lewd scene on his phone screen, immediately turning to leave!What he showed me was the video from that night of Jessica and John."What's the rush?"He stretched out his long legs, blocking my path, and pulled back on the progress bar.The video screen turned pitch black, but I could hear voices.And it was a voice I knew very well."Can you keep this to yourself for now?""I can. What's in it for me?""What do you want in return?""I haven't decided yet. How about this. You promise me something. When I figure it out, I'll let you know.""Deal."After hearing this conversation, I looked up at him in shock and disbelief. "You actually recorded it?"It seemed like there was no order to things, but when it came to doing things, there were no holes at all."Just happened to catch it." He chuckled softly, unabashed and arrogant. "Does this count as evidence?""You're ruthless." I was somewhat speechless, and my tone wasn't nice. "Spit it out. What do

“Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c

Whitney nodded.By the time they arrived, it was already dark.But the entrance of the hot spring resort was bustling with activity.People were coming and going, and the car park at the front was filled with luxury cars.Standing at the entrance was a woman in a purple gown, her figure stunning.In such cold weather, she was only wearing a form-fitting silk dress, and although she had a mink shawl draped over her shoulders, it had started snowing mixed with rain by now.Whitney felt a chill just looking at her.Then, glancing at herself, she realized she looked round and bundled up due to her thin frame, trying to stay warm.Compared to the woman in front of her, she didn't feel the least bit feminine."Yvonne!"Millie tugged Whitney over. "I brought my sister-in-law!"Yvonne excused herself from her guests, letting someone show them in, and then turned to face Millie and Whitney.The moment Whitney met her gaze, she felt a softening in her bones.It was a natural, effort

Caleb's temples throbbed.He regretted some of the things he had done to Millie when they were younger.Whitney was a bit worried, but Millie reassured her to not worry at all.In reality, Caleb was fine.If it weren't for Whitney, she would have exposed his little scheme by now."Gilbert will be here soon.""Also, the doctor said to observe him overnight, but he'll be fine. He can be discharged tomorrow. He's not missing any limbs. Whitney, it's okay to care about your husband, but don't spoil him too much. It'll bring bad luck."Whitney had never heard anything like this before.Millie always said things that were beyond her understanding.Maybe that's the difference between being spoiled growing up and struggling just to survive."Okay."She liked Millie, just as she liked Jane and the others—they were all great girls.Millie pinched her cheek. "That's more like it."Gilbert finished work at his usual time.When he arrived at the hospital, he thought for a moment and c

"You're still trying to make me gain weight." Millie was very kind to Whitney, always speaking in her favor, so she had to support her as well. "I always thought you liked a bit of meat on someone."Caleb wanted her to eat more, gain a bit of weight, and stay healthy.This was a setup, and he wasn't sure how to respond."Only giving me vegetables?"Whitney hadn't planned on cooking meat at all, but since Millie mentioned wanting some, she made cooked some meat."You can't eat anything greasy right now, but I've made some chicken. You can have some chicken."Caleb smirked. "I'll do as you say."Millie couldn't stand it anymore and clicked her tongue a few times.But Caleb didn't give her a chance to speak. "Can't the roast pork shut you up?"Millie was so angry that she gritted her teeth. After finishing her meal, she saw Whitney still feeding Caleb.Unable to stop herself, she said, "Caleb, you've got alcohol poisoning, not a broken arm. Whitney, you should eat. The dishes ar

Whitney felt that Millie probably had some longstanding grudge with Caleb from when they were kids.Therefore, she treated Millie with respect as well.That was why she said those words.What was so great about her?Being able to cook wasn't anything extraordinary.The Hilton family's status in Yelar was such that, had it not been for her good luck in becoming Zachary's sister and getting such an opportunity, she would have likely died in some unknown gutter.As for the various daughters of affluent families surrounding Caleb—beautiful, gentle, intellectual, and so on—the list was endless.Compared to her, they were a thousand times better.And yet, she still thought that Caleb marrying her was a loss.It wasn't as exaggerated as Millie had said."Millie, please don't say that. Caleb can cook for me, too. It's nothing special."Millie was shocked.Could Caleb even cook?But when she saw Whitney's expression, she realized that the times Caleb had cooked for her when they we

1461In the quiet ward, Caleb naturally heard those words.Whitney took a small step to the side, avoiding him.Caleb. ‘Oh, great.’"Alcohol poisoning," Whitney whispered to Millie.Millie exploded all of a sudden. "Alcohol poisoning?""Caleb used to drink for three days and nights straight without getting alcohol poisoning. If he got alcohol poisoning now, I'll livestream eating shit."Caleb could no longer stand it. He got up and snatched Whitney's phone.His voice was cold and low. "Millie, do you have nothing better to do?"Millie wasn't scared of him at all. "Trying to fool my sister-in-law, huh? Caleb, you really have no shame. Pursuing someone isn't done like this..."Caleb ended the call without another word.But who was Millie?Her grasp was not something one could get out of easily.She stormed straight to the hospital.Caleb's eyelids twitched when he saw her.But she didn't call him out, instead, she said, "I'll stay with Whitney and take care of you. When you
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1460
A flash of triumph appeared in Caleb's eyes as he raised his arm toward her.Whitney quickly pulled his arm over her shoulder, supporting him as she helped him get up.She hadn't expected him to lean all his weight on her, causing her to stumble slightly.Caleb took advantage of the moment, letting himself fall back onto the bed, and even deliberately let out a soft "hiss."Whitney immediately forgot about herself and rushed to check on him. "Did you hurt yourself?"Caleb pressed his hand to his head. "My head hurts."Whitney started to call for the doctor, but the man yanked her back toward him.Before she knew it, she was pressed against his chest.At that moment, her face felt like it was on fire."Are you messing with me?" Whitney was a little angry.She didn't like him, but she was still concerned about him.After all, though their marriage was far from perfect, they were still legally married.Caleb held her by the back of the head and gently pressed her down."Are y

But even though she sensed something was wrong, Whitney couldn't quite put her finger on it.In the end, she simply treated it as a test of her ability to handle unexpected situations.If something similar happened again—and with members of the Hilton family present—she couldn't afford to stay so calm and indifferent.That wasn't how a wife should react when faced with a rival.Tentatively, she asked, "I should have... stopped her and warned her?"Caleb felt she was finally on the right track, and gave a slight nod of agreement. Then he asked, "And after that?"‘After that...’Whitney had no real experience to draw from.She thought back to her school days, her part-time jobs, her internships.It seemed she had seen a wife confronting a mistress once.But back then, she had been too busy working hard and studying to pay close attention."Then I..."When she had walked in just now, she hadn't really seen anything inappropriate."Did she touch you?" she asked.How could Cal
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1458
Whitney had nothing to say.Even if Caleb's accusations were unreasonable, even if he was deliberately making things difficult, she still had to go along with it—and endure it."I'll keep that in mind."Caleb didn't feel any joy at her answer, but he still asked, "What exactly will you keep in mind?"Whitney replied obediently, "If the same thing happens again, I'll either send you a text or call you."Beneath his large palm was her small, soft hand. He brushed his thumb slowly across her skin and asked, "If I'm not home by six in the evening, what will you do?"Whitney answered with surprising seriousness, "Does a traffic jam count?"Caleb took a deep breath. "No. Let's say it's a normal day, I should be home on time, but I don't show up.""Oh..." Whitney nodded thoughtfully. "Then I'll call you and ask why you haven't come home."‘Good enough.’This topic could be put to rest.He released her hand and said, "I'm thirsty."Whitney immediately got up to pour him a glass of
