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

I pondered deeply, trying to simplify the complicated mess of relationships and explain it to Jane in the simplest way possible.In the end, it was a failure.I gave up thinking and just started tidying up while explaining everything to Jane clearly and straightforwardly.Finally, she understood.She summarized with a question, "So he's Ryan's future brother-in-law?"I was stunned, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. "Who else can keep up with your quick thinking?"Aunt Laura must have come early to clean up the house, leaving it spotless.After organizing our belongings, we collapsed on the sofa.Jane glanced at me. "Didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me? What is it?"I handed her the documents that Jack had given me. "I want to start my own business. Are you interested in joining?""Of course!" Her eyes lit up with excitement.I chuckled. "So, when you told me about quitting at the hospital last time and said you had plans, were you lying to m

The man who had just sat down was Caleb's younger cousin, Blake Hilton.He was a police officer.His parents had died in the line of duty. The Hilton family had originally not wanted him to follow the same path.But he had chosen it anyway, without hesitation.Whether it was because of his profession, or the fact that his own parents were no longer around — even though the Hilton family was tightly bonded — he remained quiet and reserved.Whitney wasn't much of a talker either, so she had barely exchanged more than a few words with him.Besides, every time the family had a meal, he was always the last to arrive.She had long since gotten used to it, never questioning why.Lately, though, she had heard rumors that he had fallen for someone.She had noticed the slap mark on his face at the last family gathering. And this time, his aunt had used the word "again".Blake said nothing.The others understood without needing to say a word, but Dianne had always been the type to spea

She really hadn't expected that someone could ask their parents for pocket money so brazenly.She had never seen it before.It truly opened her eyes."Are you okay?" Janet quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath, while Caleb pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her mouth.Whitney, embarrassed, said, "I'm sorry, I...""What are you apologizing for?" Caleb casually wiped the table as well. "It's nothing. Everyone chokes on water now and then.""Exactly," Millie chimed in cheerfully. "I choked on water just yesterday.""Alright, enough talking. Bring out the dishes and let's eat!" Lia called out, setting a plate of food in front of Whitney. "Try this and see if you like it."Whitney had always felt that, to the Hilton family, she was an outsider.So every time she came over, she couldn't help but feel nervous and constrained.Especially facing so many elders, she was neither sweet-tongued nor good at small talk.Every time, it was Caleb who managed all the social i

Whitney quickly stood up and called out, "Aunt Stephanie."Stephanie curved her lips into a smile and nodded."Stephanie!" Lia said as she came out of the kitchen. "How come you’re here by yourself? Where's Steve?"Steve Hilton was Lia’s eldest son and also Stephanie’s husband."He had something to take care of and will be a bit late. We can start eating first."She looked at Millie and asked, "Millie, what were you saying about me?"Millie immediately tattled, saying that Gilbert had bullied her.Stephanie didn't even ask for details, she just swung her fist and punched Gilbert.She had trained before, so the punch was solid and strong.But Gilbert had also trained, and he had grown up. Otherwise, if it had been when he was little, he wouldn't have been able to take it.This kind of situation had often happened when Millie was young — as long as the little girl cried and complained, he would get beaten by his own mother."I don’t think she’s your daughter-in-law. I think sh

Whitney wanted to thank Georgina through Millie, but Georgina said there was no need.However, simply having a meal together was acceptable.Up to now, they had only eaten together once.She wasn't very good at interpersonal interactions.On top of that, she had been busy with work early on and had gone on a business trip for a while, and almost all of her remaining time had been taken up by Caleb."Whitney, if you have time, I'd like to ask Georgina out for a meal. Sorry to trouble you.""No problem. Georgina told me that she’s missed you as well."Whitney didn't know what to say, so she could only force a smile.Millie already knew her personality and didn't mind, continuing to talk about amusing things on her own.She even asked how the wedding had gone for her this time.Whitney said, "It was great. I got along really well with Mrs. Howard and her two sisters. They're all wonderful people. I'll introduce them to you sometime.""That's great. I like making friends. The mo

The guard at the door saluted and let Caleb's car pass.As soon as Whitney got out of the car, she saw the Lia waiting at the door."Whitney!"She paused for a moment before being pulled inside.When she had first married Caleb, the Hilton family hadn't been this warm toward her.Caleb rarely took her back to the Hilton family's residence, except for the mandatory monthly family dinners.Sometimes, if a family member hosted a dinner that couldn't be refused, they would eat together.The Hilton family had been polite to her, and it was quite decent.But this time, she felt something was different.She didn't know what to say, so she gave a stiff smile.Caleb followed behind at a slow pace, breaking the awkwardness. "It's so cold outside. Why not wait inside?""The air inside’s quite dry due to the heating," said Lia. "I felt short of breath, so I came out to get some fresh air."Caleb asked in concern, "Did you do your regular checkup?"Lia replied, "I've done it. Stop nagg

Whitney was very surprised.She had eaten at the Hilton family's residence before.But because she wasn't picky about food, she just ate whatever was available.Caleb’s grandmother, Lia Hilton, had asked her if there was anything she particularly liked.She shook her head and said she could eat anything.What Lia prepared wasn't something she particularly liked, it was just a local specialty from her hometown.Her hometown was located in the mountains and it wasn’t very inconvenient to come in and out of there, so they had to make do with what they had.Thus, local plants became a speciality.But she never had the luxury of eating such high-quality food, even chewing on the food was a treat.After she escaped, she had made it herself, but thought it was just so-so.For a moment, she didn't know what to say.She wasn't adept at handling other people's kindness.Moreover, she and Caleb hadn't married for love.Sometimes she thought, it would be better not to get too close to

It even gave her the goosebumps.She didn't dare lift her head, picking up her plate to go wash it in the kitchen.She could already imagine that Caleb was definitely laughing at her right now.Caleb grabbed her wrist and pressed her down on a chair."I'll do it. You go take your post-meal medicine."Whitney felt uneasy. "You cooked, so let me do it.""No need. Go take your medicine. Since you went to the doctor, you should follow the advice."Whitney had no choice but to go take the medicine.And right now, she did indeed want to put some distance between herself and Caleb.After taking the medicine, she had nothing else to do, so she took out her phone and checked the work group.Then she saw a message from Tanner."I forgot to tell you, although the post-meal medicine that treats your issue, it has some side effects."This message had been sent when she was boarding the plane. At the time, she was apologizing to Caleb.Later, Caleb asked her to sleep for a while.She o

The evening glow had not yet appeared on the horizon.But her stomach had already reached the time to eat.Caleb rolled up his sleeves, took ingredients out of the fridge, and walked into the kitchen, reminding her to take her pre-meal medicine."The tea maker is on, there's hot water."Whitney took the medicine, then returned to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables.She knew how to cook, after all, making something herself was cheaper than eating out.And in the mountains, as a girl, she had to know how to cook.However, since coming to the Hilton family, they had a dedicated cook, and she had never been allowed into the kitchen.Now, seeing that it was just her and Caleb, she wondered if Caleb had ever even entered the kitchen, so she asked if he wanted anything and she could cook for him."After you finish washing the vegetables, just put them here."Whitney started boiling water, but Caleb pushed her out of the kitchen. "Wait outside."Whitney wanted to speak but didn

"You claimed to be fair, only trusted your own investigation results, not just believing hearsay, didn't you?"What he said was actually in line with what she had hoped for.It was also a beautiful wish of hers.But in this world, many things were not absolutely fair.Her job was to serve the people and provide justice to the best of her ability.However, she would never trust what anyone else said, she needed to look into things herself, and only after solid evidence would she act.Whitney could tell that he wasn't complimenting her, but mocking her, which made her feel somewhat ashamed."As for your situation, I've been biased from the start."Mainly because, she didn't plan on getting involved with Caleb.She didn't need to stand up for him.She had no interest in what kind of person Caleb was.So, she never thought that those rumors about him would become the trigger for him being angry with her."Sorry."Caleb seemed to have realized what she was thinking earlier.He
