Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 979
Zachary had taken control of significant power by his 30s.He owned countless riches.His troubled love life was something he had created himself, and he couldn't blame anyone else.What was there to be violent about?Even what Zachary did didn’t count as violent.Though sometimes, he could indeed be annoyingly domineering and overbearing."Are you cursing me inwardly?"Jane quickly shook her head. "No, I just don't understand why Westley..."Zachary narrowed his eyes slightly. "Liar.""You're misbehaving, so today I'll punish you. No gossip for you.""What?"This was serious!For Jane, this was worse than being executed.She quickly leaned in and kissed him. "Please, tell me, Zachary..."Zachary's gaze flickered. "What did you just call me?"Jane leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Honey?"The man's Adam's apple bobbed.The interrupted atmosphere returned as he flipped over, pinning her beneath him.Jane quickly extended her hand to push him off. "You can't do

He rushed back that night.Upon learning that Jordan had gone to the Howard family's residence, he found himself only looking for trouble.Buck watched Westley hurry back, his normally well-arranged suit now creased.He didn't even enter the house, instead turning and walking away.He sighed inwardly.If he liked her, why push her away?Now, when he wanted to pull her back, the string had already snapped.If it weren’t for the fact that Westley was Buck’s superior, he really wanted to say, "You deserve this."Mr. Howard glanced toward the door and then poked Mrs. Howard's arm with his finger.Mrs. Howard looked at Jordan, who had her head lowered.Her voice was firm, clearly having made up her mind.It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."Alright, I'll persuade Westley. But you're still my goddaughter. Since you're here, why not have a meal with me?"Jordan nodded.Westley went to find Zachary.Zachary was cooking, and he didn't answer the phone in time.Jane was stil

As soon as he turned around, he saw a certain onlooker hiding behind the screen, playfully winking at him.Zachary curved his lips into a smile but kept his gaze straight ahead, walking to the kitchen without saying a word.Jane hadn't finished her snack last night and was too tired after what happened with him. She didn't have the energy to think about anything.Now that she had rested well, everything seemed a bit confusing to her.It was uncomfortable not finishing the gossip.She hugged him from behind and sweetly said, "Who is this? You’re such a talented man. Oh, you’re my boyfriend."Zachary started the stove and added oil to the pan. Hearing her, he didn't respond at all.Jane, feeling playful, continued, "Come on, come on, the incredibly handsome Zachary, the husband who's endlessly good to his wife, surely he wouldn't let me suffer by not finishing the gossip, right?"Zachary shivered slightly. "Speak properly.""I am speaking properly!" she replied coquettishly.Za

Jane wasn't fooled."You just want to help Westley."Zachary laughed, placing some meat on her plate. "It's up to you."Ding-dong.The doorbell rang suddenly.With a mouthful of meat, Jane mumbled, "My place is quite lively recently."Zachary stood up to open the door.At the door stood Raymond."Sir...""You didn't answer your phone or respond to the messages. I had no choice but to..."Zachary's expression remained indifferent. "Get to the point."Raymond glanced behind him, lowering his voice to a near whisper. "The investigation team has arrived."Zachary's eyes flickered slightly, but his voice remained as cold as ever. "Got it."He turned back and walked to Jane, bending down to kiss her briefly. "I have to go on a business trip."Jane didn't ask more, with his job, business trips and meetings were normal. During the early stages of a project, it was understandable for him to be busy."How long?""Not sure yet."Zachary picked up his phone and quickly glanced at

"You can just tell me directly what happened, or rather, what you want to say by coming to see me," said Jane.Madam Collins didn't continue to beat around the bush."Zachary has been taken in for questioning."Jane's fingers curled involuntarily, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes.Madam Collins noticed her small gesture, observing every detail of Jane's reaction."There's no need to pretend to be calm. It's normal for you to feel emotional," she said. "After all, if it weren't for you, Zachary wouldn't have to go through this."Jane couldn't argue with that.Madam Collins continued, "I've known this day would come. Your father's existence is like a ticking time bomb, it was bound to explode sooner or later. I'll say it again. If you truly love Zachary, you should not be a stain on his life. I haven't said this before, but this time I must play the bad cop. Leave Zachary, child. You can name any conditions you want."Jane clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips g

When Raymond saw Madam Collins coming out of the conference room, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. It dawned on him that Jane had deceived him, but now he couldn't even report it."I raised you all to follow Zachary, not to help him mess things up!"Madam Collins's frustration needed an outlet. At her age, if she didn't vent her anger, it would soon send her to the hospital, unable to move a muscle."Look at the mess Zachary is in today. You'll all bear the responsibility. Come home with me and face the consequences!"Raymond knew he couldn't leave."When Mr. Collins returns, whatever punishment you want to give me is fine, but right now, I can't go. Please, calm down."Madam Collins was so angry that her breathing became erratic. "You've gone too far! Do you know who your master is? If it weren't for the Collins family, you'd have died in the slums long ago!"Raymond didn't deny it. He bowed respectfully and said, "I remember the Collins family's kindness, but Madam Coll

Raymond was startled. "Mrs. Collins..."Jane raised her hand to stop him from speaking, looking at Rebecca she said slowly, "If you can meet one condition of mine, I will leave the country immediately."Rebecca saw she had softened and her anger subsided a little. "Go on."Jane said, "If you make Zachary break up with me willingly, I will leave him. How about that?"Rebecca realized she had been tricked and immediately raised her hand.Jane sidestepped to avoid it.Rebecca lost control and sprained her waist."Ouch."Eric hurriedly supported her and was about to speak.But Jane had already taken Raymond and left in large strides.His eyes gradually filled with cruelty.Once in the car, Jane asked Raymond, "Zachary left you as the only one beside me?"Raymond started the car and replied, "Of course not. I'm just the one other people sees."Jane breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'm at ease. Otherwise, if you were alone, I'd have to worry. What if the Collins family does some

"He's also acting unilaterally, keeping things from me, thinking he's doing this for my own good, not wanting me to worry."Charlotte smiled. "Then I won't advise you."Jane was about to say something when her phone rang.In a hurry, she pulled it out and looked at it, but it wasn't Zachary.She answered, sounding exhausted, "Get to the point."Dominic paused for a moment. "I'm not saying this to nag, but don't be too hard on yourself, still need to pay attention to your health, do what you can."Jane laughed and scolded him, "What's your problem?""I've got something, a big thing.""Spit it out."Dominic chuckled. "Your clothes are ready. So, how about it? Come over and take a look? We only got two sets done, and the time is still tight. But it won't affect the next event. I've already checked the time."Jane immediately sat up straight, her voice gaining strength. "I'll come over right now."Then, she suddenly remembered something."Wait, I have something else to do. How

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

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
