Night fell.
Fluorescent lights flickered on inside the concrete building. Outside, the aged streetlamps glowed intermittently as moths circled in the darkness.
Across the river, scattered lights began to spark to life.
Black eagles lurked deep within the forest, their occasional soft coos breaking the stillness.
I wore black athletic gear, a baseball cap shadowing my petite face, and sneakers for easy movement.
Everett emerged from the house, clad in a black bulletproof vest and work pants, a pistol tucked at his waist. His military boots struck the concrete floor with steady, deliberate steps.
“Put this on,” he said, handing me another bulletproof vest.
I looked at the vest, hesitating for a moment before meeting his eyes.
Everett’s handsome face remained expressionless. “Just in case.”
I took the vest. “Thanks.”

Regret After Divorce Chapter 161 Maybe his right leg ruined
Davis’s POV:Outside the operating room, Alicia and I stood waiting for the operation to finish.The situation inside remained unclear.Footsteps approached.I turned and froze when I recognized the figure.Alicia followed my gaze, her elegant, distant-mountain brows arching slightly.Scarlett and the others walked straight toward us.Alicia looked at me and remarked meaningfully, “They’re here sooner than I expected.”I gave an awkward smile. “I didn’t snitch, you know.”Before entering the operating room, President had repeatedly emphasized that no one was to inform Scarlett about his surgery. Logically, the Taylor family should have been eager for her to remain unaware. Yet here they were… who had let the cat out of the bag?I looked at the tightly closed operating room door and sighed.Actually, it might be for the best that Scarlett knew. Who knows? Maybe this misfortune would turn out to be a blessing in disguise for President.Scarlett approached the entrance, looked at the doo
Regret After Divorce Chapter 160 What happened to Everett?
Scarlett’s POV:Hearing this, I fell silent. Eleanor studied my expression, then looked at Mom and Dad before saying,“It’s not that I don’t believe Miley. I just think it’s hard for someone’s ideology to change that easily. Mainly, her actions this time are too different from everything she’s done over the past decade.”“Ellie is right. It feels too strange to me too,” James added, scratching his forehead. “Even villains in dramas need a process to redeem themselves. This… it’s just too sudden.”Hearing this, Harvey, who had remained silent earlier, still said nothing.Mom looked at Dad. Dad nodded.“I understand your concerns, but Louis and Everett were both present. They examined the scene… under those circumstances, it was impossible for anyone to survive and escape.”“Discussing this now won’t get us anywhere. Let’s wait for the autopsy report.”“Scarlett is right,” Mom said with a smile. “But regardless, this operation was a success. From now on, our Scarlett will be free.” She

Scarlett’s POVEleanor’s sudden question caught me off guard.I shook my head. “Not yet.”“Alicia mentioned you wanted to call him earlier. He should be reachable now. Aren’t you going to call?”“I…” I felt awkward for a moment.My state of mind last night was vastly different from today’s, and now I actually felt embarrassed about it.She noticed my hesitation and raised an eyebrow with a smile. “Actually, there’s no need to rush. You’ll meet Mr. Robinson when he returns to L.A. Whether it’s to express gratitude or apologize, saying it in person carries more sincerity than over the phone.”“Yes.”Everett had done so much for me; I truly needed to thank him properly in person.Seeing that I’d come to terms with it, Eleanor suggested, “After dinner, shall we head downtown to meet up with Uncle and the others?”I nodded. “Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Louis. I miss him a bit.”“Yeah, ever since Louis and Harvey started the security company, they’ve been swamped! They hardly com

Eleanor’s POVI watched Scarlett’s retreating figure, sighed softly, then turned and walked out of the villa.Outside, Alicia stood under the eaves smoking a cigarette, her other hand holding a phone as she talked.I glanced at her before turning to find John first.After giving instructions to James, I turned back and walked toward Alicia.As I drew closer, I heard Alicia’s voice: “Contact Mr. Browne. He has always been in charge of his surgeries.”I frowned and halted.Alicia heard the movement behind her and turned, meeting my gaze.She paused slightly, then said to the person on the other end of the call, “I’ll hang up now.”I studied her, sensing she was hiding something. “Who was that?”“A friend,” she replied without flinching.I narrowed my eyes. “A woman’s intuition tells me that call was connected to tonight’s operation.”Alicia raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Is your intuition usually that accurate?”“Very accurate,” I said firmly.“It sure is.” Alici
Regret After Divorce Chapter 157 Wanted to kill Peter with her own hands
Miley’s POVEvery time I gained an advantage over the Taylor family, a surge of satisfaction washed over me.That twisted pleasure offered only a fleeting respite from the torment of my memories.Watching Scarlett endure my schemes in silent resignation, I felt the world was finally fair.Late at night, when all was quiet, I would sit before the mirror and laugh hysterically at my reflection.See? I’d whisper to the glass. The Taylor family isn’t all-powerful after all. They have moments of fear—times when their words betray their true feelings, times when they’re powerless to act against their will.Yet the incident from ten years ago—the kidnapping—remained an indelible pain I could never erase.When Everett burst in, I had expected him to rescue me first. After all, my injuries were far worse than Scarlett’s; I needed his timely help more desperately. But Everett didn’t save me&
