Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 295
Megan, who wasn’t backing down, left Jane and me wide-eyed.When I realized what was happening, I quickly pulled Megan behind me, fearing that Mrs. Shaw might involve her."Come at me if you have any issues.""Charlotte!" Megan, undeterred, faced Mrs. Shaw and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want this dress? Let Bethany come out and stop trying it on.""What!" Mrs. Shaw sneered repeatedly, showing extreme contempt. "You're making me laugh. You're just a small employee. Does your boss agree with what you're saying? Do you know how much this dress costs...""I can buy it!" Megan puffed out her cheeks and declared this with an air of authority.I pretended not to hear her bragging.Mrs. Shaw, infuriated, turned pale with rage. "Charlotte, is this also your intention?""If you don't like it, that's fine," I said with a faint smile.Mrs. Shaw gritted her teeth and glared at Megan. "Are you sure you can afford it? This dress costs over 1 million dollars!""It’s only a million doll

"Mom... Why... I'm the customer here!""Behave yourself!"Mrs. Shaw, swallowing her anger, handed the phone back to Frank and turned to me with a forced smile. "Ms. Wilson, as the designer of the dress, please make sure to attend the engagement party next week. If there are any issues with the dress, it will be easier to resolve them if you're present.""Safe travels. I won’t be seeing you out."I made a gesture to indicate that they could leave. "Please transfer the final payment to the account from last time. Thank you."After the farce, it was already nearing seven o'clock.I suggested treating them to pizza.Just as we reached the underground car park, Jane received a call about a drinking party and decided to abandon me.So it was just Frank, Megan, and me.Frank raised his chin a little. "Get in my car. I'll drop you and Megan off at work tomorrow.""Alright."As I walked over to open the rear door, Megan pushed me into the front seat, "Charlotte, sit in the front. It'

I instinctively took a step back. "Frank..."He glanced at me, suppressing his emotions, and said curtly, "Leave."He then squatted down and began picking up the shards of the broken piggy bank, carefully.I felt quite sorry and quickly crouched down to help him, "I'm sorry, I..."He didn't even look up and repeated coldly, "I said leave.""Charlotte, let's go..."Megan grabbed my hand and led me out, gently closing the door behind us before explaining, "That piggy bank was his most treasured possession. He took it everywhere and never let anyone touch it.""He..." I felt some guilt and wanted to make amends. "Do you know where I can buy a replacement for that piggy bank? I'll get him a new one.""It can't be bought."Megan shook her head helplessly, "That piggy bank was a gift made by a ceramic artist that Lily begged Madam Shaw to invite for my brother's birthday. It was made just for him. The rabbit on it represents Lily herself. She wanted to accompany my brother every day

As I invited him in and changed my shoes, I couldn't help but ask, "Were you able to find something about my background?"He paused for a moment, then smiled lightly. "How did you guess so quickly?""How did it go?"I was eager to know. Although my parents had passed away many years ago, it was very important to me to know whether I was truly their child.He walked over to the sofa, handed me a file, and said helplessly, "Indeed, Bob was talking nonsense. Don't dwell on this anymore. It would make your parents sad if they knew."Hearing this, I felt my heart settle and began to flip through the file. It contained my birth certificate, various medical records from childhood, blood type, date of birth... Everything matched up.With each thing I checked, my heart felt more at ease.I was completely reassured. I was indeed my parents' child, and their affection for me was never false."Thank you so much, Jack!"I looked at Jack with gratitude. "Have you eaten? There are still
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 299
I had to admit, it was quite heartbreaking.When Ryan and I got married, there was no engagement party. Even the wedding was handled entirely by Grandpa. He only reluctantly made an appearance. It wasn't grand at all because he said he didn't want it to be public. The wedding was attended only by the Frost family and close friends, making it as simple as a dinner party.From our marriage to divorce, outsiders only knew that he pampered his wife, but few knew who his wife actually was. I repressed my emotions, shifted my gaze, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ryan striding in with a custom-made tailcoat, his expression cold and detached. On his arm was Bethany, wearing a dress I had designed myself. They looked like a golden couple, their attire shimmering and radiant. Their appearance drew many guests' attention.Several people tried to approach and ingratiate themselves.However, Bethany walked towards me, embodying the demeanor of the hostess. "Ms. Wilson, I invited you

This problem shouldn't have occurred.When I sewed the dress, the stitches were even and dense, and the dress was made to perfectly fit her body. Even if the strap broke, it should have stayed temporarily at the chest level and not fallen immediately. Unless, of course, the zipper at the back also broke at the same time.But that was impossible.The fabric and zipper suppliers were both the same as the ones used during my time at the Frost Group, and their quality was absolutely reliable.Regardless, this was a dress I had personally made.I grabbed my coat, stood up, and ran onto the stage. Just as I was about to help her put on the dress, she slapped me across the face in a fit of rage!"Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to embarrass me today!!"I instinctively covered my stinging face and, without hesitation, slapped her back. "Bethany, I'm not insane enough to ruin my own work!"Bethany's eyes widened in fury, and she was about to lunge at me again when Ryan, wh

In the Shaw family's residence’s living room.Snowflakes had started drifting down outside the French windows again, twirling as they fell. A thin layer of white had already accumulated on the ground.Inside, the heating was turned on, but I shivered at the cold gaze from Mrs. Shaw. They had looked into me thoroughly. They even looked into things that happened before I came to Jelaston, which is why they locked me in the storage room and deliberately cut off the power. They had gone to great lengths to deal with me, an ex-wife.Mrs. Shaw took a sip of tea and looked at me with contempt. "Have you reconsidered leaving Jelaston?"I stood up straight. "And what's the reason this time?"Last time it was through coercion and inducement. What would they do this time?"After the first dress that came out of your company after starting the business, such problems arose."Mrs. Shaw curved her lips in a mocking smile. "Do you think your company will be able to remain open? It would be b

Bethany's face stiffened slightly as she snorted coldly. "So what if I did cut it myself?"Upon hearing this, I lost interest in continuing the argument and turned to Mrs. Shaw. "Mrs. Shaw, can I leave now?"I thought she was just getting revenge for her daughter. Now that the truth was clear, it had nothing to do with me.To my surprise, she affectionately pinched Bethany's cheek. "Are you out of your mind? Sacrificing your own reputation just to frame her?"Bethany pouted and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm sorry! She's so stubborn; I had no choice but to resort to this method.""Alright." Mrs. Shaw said in a loving tone, "You go upstairs first. I will handle this."Her tone was gentle, without a hint of blame. She seemed to be the most indulgent mother in the world.Bethany smiled happily. "You’re the best, Mom!"With that, she skipped upstairs, and Mrs. Shaw looked at her with a warm smile, her demeanor very soft.Once Bethany's figure disappeared, Mrs. Shaw slowly withdrew h

On the other side, Caleb threw his phone aside.The force was considerable, and it landed with a loud thud.If not for its special design, the screen would likely have shattered by now.Max, standing nearby, laughed. Seeing him silently drinking, he asked knowingly, "What's the matter? Has your wife taken a liking to someone else?"If it were anyone else, if their husband left without a word and answered a phone call with such cold indifference, they would surely be angry.Even if they didn't make a fuss, there would at least be some sign of frustration.Max guessed that Caleb wouldn't say anything, so he flipped open a blank document, his tone sarcastic. "Come on, you've traveled all the way from Yelar to Impelia for a business trip. It must be for a deal worth tens of billions, right?"He wrote "10 billion" on the blank sheet of paper, signed his name in the bottom corner, and handed it to Caleb. "Alright, sign here."Caleb gave it a cursory glance, his expression cold.Even

When Whitney went out, she ran into Yvonne and handed her the car keys. "Sorry for the trouble, Yvonne.""It's no trouble. I’ll just give them to Millie later on. Don't worry about it.""Okay."Whitney waved goodbye to Yvonne and got into Georgina's car.Georgina exchanged a few words with Yvonne before driving off.On the road, she asked, "Why didn't you get your driver's license?"Whitney replied, "I did, but I haven't driven on the road yet. I'm afraid I might damage Gilbert's car.""How could that happen?" Georgina laughed. "Gilbert's identity is special. The car has armor on the outside, it's crash-resistant, bulletproof, and resistant to everything.""As long as you avoid pedestrians, you'll be fine."Whitney still didn't dare.Georgina asked, "Didn't Caleb help you practice? He doesn't have much to do anyway."Caleb had indeed offered to help her practice driving.But she didn't dare, afraid of crashing his car, something she could never afford to repair.She liked

His eyes were ice cold. His noble background and the inherent sense of authority he carried made her feel breathless.She stood there for a while, then picked up the plate and walked over.Tentatively, she asked, "Do you... do you want some food?"Caleb looked at her for a few seconds before opening his mouth.Whitney sighed in relief, using a fork to pick up a piece of pasta to feed him.Seeing that he seemed to be eating fine, she slowly continued feeding him.Suddenly, she asked, "Was your alcohol poisoning a lie?"Caleb was still a little stirred up inside, his voice calm as he asked, "Do you want to have an argument?"Whitney didn't dare.She had only suddenly remembered this matter.Earlier, he had pinned her down for a while, yet she hadn't noticed anything wrong.Even if he was physically fine, he had gone to the hospital today, and surely, he shouldn't have had this much energy at night.Although she didn't know why his mother had lied with him, she understood that
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1475
Whitney was surprised and said sincerely, "Both of you are really talented."Georgina smiled, "We're from the same orphanage. We're not biological sisters, but we're just like real sisters."At that moment, Taylor came over, and Yvonne introduced her to Whitney.Taylor was also a quiet person. The two smiled at each other and then fell into silence.Georgina said to Taylor, "Get ready. His flight should be tomorrow night."Taylor's face immediately darkened. "Okay."Whitney sensed that something was off, but seeing their expressions, she wisely didn't ask."Let's go," Caleb returned with the food and called out to Whitney.Whitney didn't want to go back. "I want to talk with Georgina for a while."Caleb didn't speak, only looked at her, but his gaze was cold.Reluctantly, Whitney followed him back.Yvonne hooked her arm around Georgina's shoulder, watching Whitney follow Caleb to the room.She smiled slightly. "She looks really cute. Just like when you were Lucifer's secret

Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."

"Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It

Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho

Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall

"If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
