Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 982
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

Watching Jane leave, Charlotte closed the door and turned around, only to bump into a man's chest.She looked up and asked him, "Zachary is really fine, right?"Frank wrapped his arms around her and led her inside. "What could happen? It's all within his expectations."Jane returned to her place, still thinking that Zachary was fine, but she still couldn't sleep.The next morning, she went to the shopping center.On the way, she replied to Charlotte's message about preparing to board her flight."Raymond, does Mr. Collins really not have any preferences?"She wanted to buy Zachary a set of clothes.Since they had been together, she had always been the one being taken care of.It seemed like she hadn't done much for him.This investigation wasn't a good thing, but she hoped that when he came out, he could wear something new, and that in the future, he wouldn't be tainted by these bad things because of her.But as she kept looking, she became more and more indecisive.Raymond
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 988
Raymond didn't dare to hide anything and truthfully explained the situation.The phone was instantly hung up. With every beep, he felt like a hammer was striking his heart.By the time he reached the northern helipad, Zachary was already there.He was still wearing the clothes from when he had been taken for questioning.But now they were full of creases, clearly messy.It was obvious he had just gotten home, hadn't seen Jane, and upon hearing the report, he immediately rushed over.However, there were no signs of any helicopter having landed nearby."Wasn't it supposed to be the northern side?"Raymond's lips were trembling. "The helicopter's direction was heading north...""Could they have changed direction midway?" Zachary's voice was as cold as ice.It was sharper than winter winds, painfully piercing."I've already sent people to check the other helipads...""It's raining today, and they were in a hurry to leave. They might not have suddenly changed flight paths, it's

"I said I don’t know. Maybe it was because she knew she wasn't worthy of you, so I left."If this had been before, Zachary would have believed it.But this time, Jane had said she wouldn't leave.Moreover, Raymond had already said that she had been kidnapped.Thud—Zachary knelt in front of his mother, Rebecca.Rebecca was horrified.The members of the Collins family, startled by the commotion in the hospital room, walked to the door and were equally shocked.Zachary bowed his head to Rebecca."I will never forget your kindness in raising me, and the Collins family's nurturing of me. What I did to you just now was wrong. I'm sorry, Mom."As he spoke, he bowed a few more times."You're both getting old, and worrying too much can cause illness. It would be better to find a comfortable and pleasant place to rest properly."Noticing what Zachary was about to do, Madam Collins quickly spoke up, "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk calmly. We really didn't harm Jane. And we've already

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

Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit

The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g

"Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building

“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
