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

Not only the smell of smoke but there also a hint of alcohol."You've been drinking?""Yeah."He lowered his eyelids. "Had a few extra with Tom.""Oh." I nodded gently. "Then you... should go back and get some rest!"As for him and me, it was better not to have any further contact."I just want to be with you."He was stubborn like a child demanding a toy and was about to enter the house.Instinctively, I blocked him and stepped back. He suddenly staggered backwards, and I was startled. I hurried forward to steady him.‘You call this a few extra drinks?’With his tolerance, a few drinks shouldn't affect him like this.Moreover, if he had time to drink with Tom, it probably meant things with the Frost family were almost settled. Perhaps the marriage alliance with the Shaw family was really happening.Everything was going so smoothly, so what could possibly make him drink so much?But before I could dwell on it, he leaned on me, burying his head in the crook of my neck, and

Upon hearing this, Jane not only wasn't disappointed but gossiped eagerly, "Are you going with Frank who lives across from you?""How did you know?""Who else around you do I not know? Besides me, there's Jack and Ryan. You wouldn't bother with Ryan, and if it were Jack, you'd have told me directly. By process of elimination, it had to be Frank."My gaze fell on the distant high-rise buildings flashing neon lights, and I chuckled softly. "Alright, alright. Nothing escapes your eyes."After chatting aimlessly with her for a while longer, I hung up and turned around to see the man who was already awake.I put away my phone, suppressed my smile, and said calmly, "Since you're awake, you should go back."His dark eyes stared at me. "Are you trying to avoid me now?""No." I shook my head and walked into the living room. "I just want to avoid trouble for myself."As everyone perceived, as someone without parents and without anyone to rely on, where would I get the qualification to co

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

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

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

"Perfect."Caleb was rendered speechless.Half an hour later, Whitney arrived at the hospital room.It was clear she had rushed over—she was still breathing heavily, chest rising and falling with each gulp of air.Caleb felt a pang of guilt for tricking her like this. He was just about to sit up when his mother pressed him back down.Janet's eyes reddened instantly, tears threatening to fall at will.Business was like war—and in war, sometimes a bit of acting was essential.After all, his mother had spent years navigating the cutthroat world of commerce. Her acting skills were easily on par with half the entertainment industry."Darling..."Whitney still looked confused. She stepped closer and saw Caleb's lips pale and bloodless.He had been perfectly fine just last night—how had it come to this so suddenly?And he hadn't even drunk that much at the Hilton family dinner.Far less than what he had consumed at their wedding, in fact."Mom, please don't cry..." Whitney helped
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1456
Since they got married, this had never happened before.Though Caleb was a busy man, his parents hadn't completely stepped back from the family business yet, so he didn't need to clock in every day.He only went in for important matters, or meetings he couldn't avoid.But at night, he was always home.In the morning, he always got up at the same time as her.She had early classes at eight in the morning.Still, she didn't overthink it, assuming something urgent had come up at the last minute.Caleb was indeed at the office that morning.But there was absolutely nothing on the schedule.No one could understand why the he had shown up so early, sitting alone at his desk doing nothing.Philip pushed open the door to his office and found Caleb slouched lazily on the sofa.He raised his hand to stop the secretary from reporting anything.The secretary quickly nodded, stepped out, and shut the door behind her."Had an argument?"Philip didn't think that was likely.After all,

There was no rush.Whitney deeply admired Dianne's way of living—a strong mind, never anxious, never consumed by internal battles.Whatever came her way, she simply found a way to deal with it.She believed there were always more solutions than problems."Are you tired?"Caleb sat down beside her. "Do you want to go back and rest?"They had just flown back from an island.When they got off the plane, Whitney had barely been able to walk on her own.If not for this dinner with the Hilton family—one they truly couldn't skip—she would have preferred to go straight home and sleep.But since no one had left, she couldn't excuse herself either, and had just waited quietly.Now that Caleb asked, she hesitated, then nodded.He took her hand and helped her up, then said to the rest of the family, "We're heading back first. Just got back from out of town, and we're both exhausted."Lia nodded. "Come by more often."Whitney nodded politely.Caleb led her to the entryway to change th
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1454
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
