Ex-husband’s Regret

Frank didn't move, just looked at me with lowered eyes and a stern expression. "Charlotte, are you trying to scare me to death?"

"I'm sorry." I knew he was referring to what happened earlier. I reached out and hooked his little finger, gently shaking it. "It was wrong of me. Frank, even now I'm still a bit shaken by it." "Now you're scared?"All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yeah... scared." I looked up at him, pressing my lips together. "At the moment the gun fired, the only thought in my mind was, if I died, what would you do..."

Before I could finish, he abruptly pulled me into his embrace and rested his chin on the top of my head." At least you have a bit of a conscience. Since you know, you must not be so impulsive again."

"Alright." I nuzzled against his chest and suddenly asked curiously, "So, if I really did die, what would you..."

He abruptly pinched my face and interrupted me with a cold expression. "Don't ask such ominous questions."

His eyes fixed on me, he instructed, "I'll send you Alan's number. If you can't reach me in the future, call him immediately."

"Okay."

As soon as I finished speaking, Alan's call came in.

"Frank, it's just as you expected. The group returned to the Sky Island Villa near the abandoned factory, but for some reason, they moved again. When I arrived, the cigarette butts in the ashtray were still hot."

Frank's expression darkened slightly. "It seems there's someone else behind today's incident." "Someone else?"

"Yes."

Frank nodded. "Check immediately when this group appeared in Jeswood and where they came from." Alan agreed and added, "Also, the PL Group has withdrawn the lawsuit. They even proposed that as long as we pay the corresponding patent and compensation fees, the chips can still be sold as usual."

Hearing this, Frank fell silent for a moment, a trace of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth." Such a coincidence?"

After Simone hung up the phone, Bethany eagerly approached.

"Mom, Charlotte said she's willing to give up the inheritance?"

"Yes."

A hint of puzzlement crossed Simone's eyes. "She and that old woman haven't been reunited for long. How can she willingly give up such a large inheritance for that old woman?"

Even if she wasn't leaving all the assets to her, as the old woman's biological granddaughter, she would

still inherit a considerable amount. That's enough for a family to live comfortably for several generations.

Charlotte just said that she didn't want it?

Bethany didn't have the patience to delve into this. She urged, "What are you thinking so much for? It's just family ties. We should hurry up and get a lawyer to draft the agreement and bring the antidote to the hospital before she changes her mind." She was eager to have real assets of her own.

After all these years in the Shaw family, the old woman had never given her anything. But the real power of the Shaw family was in the old woman's hands, and Simone could only offer her so little!

Her earlier comment seemed to hit a nerve with Simone, who looked at her and decided, "You go upstairs and change clothes, and come with me."

"To the hospital?"

"First to get the antidote, and then to meet someone."

Bethany frowned. "The gangster?"

Although she agreed in the morning, she still had some resistance to actually meeting him.

In her view, these people were like rats that should not be seen in public and didn't deserve to be associated with her!

Simone asked, "Don't want to go now?"

"Just a little," Bethany said reluctantly. "Didn't you say this was foolproof? But clearly, Charlotte sounded full of energy on the phone just now. She probably isn't even badly injured." "Why should I meet him if things are so messed up?" Seeing the disapproval in Simone's expression, she finally compromised. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
