Ex-husband’s Regret

The moment I asked this question, my heart skipped a beat again. Because I had always believed that Grandpa's death was related to Jessica, but there had been no evidence. Fortunately, Albert immediately replied, "Yes, although the fingerprint was small, after comparison, it is indeed hers."

"So it really was her..."

Upon receiving this answer, I felt no joy, only more sorrow for Grandpa. If... if Grandpa hadn't met Jessica that day, would he still be waving kindly to me now, calling me 'Charlotte'?

Albert was also furious. "Although the Mr. William never fully accepted her, he never mistreated her either. Yet she actually resorted to such methods."

"Yeah." I pondered over it, "Albert, there's one thing I still can't figure out. When Grandpa hit Ryan that day, he didn't get so angry as to fall ill. What did she say to Grandpa to make him so furious?" First she angered Grandpa, causing him to fall ill, then she prevented him from taking his life-saving medication.

It was exactly the same as today, first provoking me into taking action against her, then setting me up with false accusations.

Albert was also puzzled. "I have no idea either..."

"Do you think..." I hesitated for a moment. "Could she possibly be the biological daughter of my father-in-law and Lauren?"

This was the only reason I could think of why Jessica could provoke Grandpa like

that.

Grandpa was already dissatisfied with my father-in-law's insistence on marrying Lauren. If he knew that my father-in-law had been cheating on his wife for a long time, he might have been furious and fallen ill.

Albert denied the possibility. "Impossible. Your concern was already investigated by the Mr. William before Lauren entered the Frost family. There was also a paternity test done. Jessica was definitely not related to the Frost family."

"That's strange." I frowned, a fleeting thought passing through my mind. When I tried

to grasp it again, it slipped away.

Maybe that thought was too absurd.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Albert asked, "What are your plans now? Just having fingerprints on pills might not be persuasive enough. Even if you tell Ryan directly, he may not believe..."

"We still have to try." I interrupted directly, unwilling to let Grandpa's death remain unexplained for another day, "Albert, have someone deliver the fingerprint identification report to me at the Lake Garden. As for the rest, I'll let Ryan investigate himself."

I was only responsible for handing this over to him.

If he trusted me even a little, he would personally investigate this matter thoroughly. With his abilities, it would be much easier for him to find the truth than me and Albert.

"Okay."

Albert probably checked the time, then said, "It will take about 20 minutes to deliver it to the Lake Garden. Shall I bring it up to you, or..."

"I'll come down to get it."

Once I had the identification report, I would go directly to the hospital and hand it to Ryan.

He would believe it, right?

Even if he didn't fully believe it, he would investigate things himself and surely find some clues.

With that thought in mind, I sighed.

Perhaps Ryan could still find a reason to be lenient towards Jessica for my child's sake. But what about Grandpa?

'Ryan... this time, you surely won't disappoint your Grandpa, right?'

After a quick tidy-up and change of clothes, I went downstairs. Despite being in the underground car park, the early winter chill seeped through the seams of my clothes. Winter came early this year.

My phone rang in my coat pocket. Feeling cold, I answered with my wireless earphones.

Jack's voice sounded on the other end of the line. He seemed to sound quite happy." Charlotte, have you considered coming to work for the MS Group?
