Все главы Ex-husband’s Regret: Глава 181 - Глава 190

"Ms. Wilson, the nature of the two situations is completely different."Lauren argued forcefully, though her voice remained gentle. "The evidence you presented yesterday only showed that Jessica happened to come into contact with the medication for Grandpa. What does that prove? She merely intended to feed Grandpa. As for you two... standing at the door like that, both adults, what else could happen?"I picked up the glass from the coffee table and splashed it over her face without hesitation, sneering. "Lauren, say one more word and it won't just be water I throw."Jessica slept with her stepfather behind everyone's back, but publicly, she portrayed herself as a dutiful daughter, instantly becoming frantic. "Are you crazy to treat my mom like this?"I grabbed another cup and emptied it on her face as well. "I dare you to speak one more word."Jessica's exquisite makeup was ruined by me. She looked at me incredulously, "Charlotte..."Lauren didn't expect me to act so boldly. Her

I lay back on the bed to read, but after who knows how long, I realized the book was upside down. I started feeling restless. I wondered what was wrong with him. If it was because of that gunshot... It should have been me.I closed the book in a fluster and headed to the balcony for some fresh air. At that moment, someone knocked on the door, accompanied by Albert's voice. "Mrs. Frost."My feet quickened involuntarily as I opened the door. "Albert, how is Ryan?""He has a fever."I breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking it was just a cold or something similar. But then Albert continued, "It's from the infection caused by the gunshot a few days ago. He won't let anyone touch him now, nor will he take any medicine. You're divorcing, and I shouldn't have come to you. But he was calling out your name in his sleep..."I squeezed my hands. "I'll go see him."It was right and proper for me to do so, emotionally and logically.Due to the fever, Ryan's cheeks were flushed unnaturally

"Am I slandering him?"I could see the anger in his eyes.Seeing how easily he got angry now, I suddenly felt relieved both physically and mentally. "Isn't it true? Ryan, you told me that evidence is needed for everything."With that said, I walked towards the room.Behind me, the man suppressed his anger, uttering two words through gritted teeth, "Six o'clock.""Got it!"I didn't look back.The reason I agreed wasn't because of him, but because I thought of the scene where Jack was beaten in the ancestral hall that day. Suddenly, I hoped that if Sally embarrassed him again tonight, I could stand by him for once.For once, it was my turn to help him.After all, with the status of Mrs. Frost, it was unnecessary not to use it.After taking a shower and tidying up in my room, I put on an exquisite makeup.For such occasions, being elegant and dignified was enough. Therefore, when choosing a dress, I opted for an embroidered little black dress that ended at the knees, revealing

His eyes flickered slightly, looking ahead. "Yeah.""Why not call the police then?""Silly." Jack smiled. "Do you think the person celebrating her 80th birthday today would agree to me calling the police? Sometimes, achieving the same result can be done in different ways."His words were profound and difficult to fathom.I looked at him unexpectedly and laughed. "Jack, I think you're different from the Jack I knew before.""How come?" He paused for a moment, looking at me. "Or... do you not like me this way?""No!" I immediately denied, praising him. "I think you're even more capable and smart than the Jack I knew before. I really admire how thorough you are in your considerations."People like him and me had no one else to rely on.The only person we could rely on was ourselves.Moreover, he was in the wolf's den of the Renolds family. If he didn’t consider things thoroughly, he would only end up dead.He looked stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly brightened. "Really?"

Ryan grew increasingly displeased as he sneered. "You're quite concerned!""Oh, not really." I chuckled. "The fourth party who blocked Jessica today, that was her. Ryan, you can seamlessly transition from your first marriage to your second and third."His brows furrowed tightly. "Impossible.""How is it impossible? Don't you believe me? Ask Jessica yourself."After saying this, I realized that Jessica had been missing for half a day! I scanned the hall but didn't see my father-in-law, John, either.A thought flashed through my mind, and I quickly said, "I have a stomach ache, need to use the restroom!"With that, I clutched my stomach and hurried towards the direction of the restroom.The Renolds family's residence was vast. After finding no signs of movement in the restroom, I went straight to the backyard.The upper floors were reserved for the hosts; ordinary guests wouldn't go up there.They either left or were in some corner of the yard...The cold wind outside was bitin
