Ex-husband’s Regret

Simone and Bethany headed to the address given by K It was an old villa district with a high occupancy rate, making it easy for Alan and his team to be noticed if they came to investigate.

As they got out of the car, Bethany frown.

in disgust. Does that person live here?"

Such villa districts, from the perspective of these wealthy second-generation individuals, were beneath Such villa districts, from the perspective of these w their notice, especially for Bethany, who was used to luxury and had grown up in the Shaw family's residence. Simone was initially a bit dispirited, but upon hearing Bethany's comment, she snapped out of it and said helplessly, "It's a matter of necessity, isn't it for you? Frank is currently searching for him everywhere. This is the safest option."

"Oh." Bethany nodded dismissively and followed her inside.

K had instructed his subordinates in the courtyard to confirm their identities before letting them in.

Being an old neighborhood and a house that had been unoccupied for a long time, there was an inevitable musty smell. Bethany pinched her nose and, looking up, saw a middle-aged man standing up from the sofa with excitement in his eyes. "Simone! Is this... Bethany?"

Seeing an old acquaintance, tears immediately welled up in Simone's eyes. She turned her head to wipe them away and nodded at K, saying emotionally, "Yes, this is Bethany."

Then she hesitated, struggling to find the right words. "Bethany, this is the person I mentioned to you.

He... he is..."

"Mom!" Bethany impatiently interrupted. "Just get to the point. There's no need for such detailed introductions."

She wasn't interested in these people!

Just get the job done for the money.

K's expression briefly showed surprise but then softened into an unusually good temper. "Yes, yes, Bethany is right. There's no need to rush the introductions."

"I'm from the Shaw family. It's more appropriate for you to address me as Miss Shaw," Bethany said coldly.

Simone tugged at her arm, about to speak, but K suppressed his emotions and changed the topic. "Miss Shaw is right. Let's get down to business."

Seeing this, Simone gave up on her initial intention and said, "I'm here to get the antidote. Charlotte called me. She agreed to sign the agreement to renounce the inheritance." K was surprised. "So soon?"

Such a decision was not easy for most people to make

After all, it involved assets worth billions.

Simone nodded. "Yes, I didn't expect her to agree so readily. The antidote is with you, right?"

"It was with me, but now..."

K had never anticipated that Charlotte would give up the inheritance. Therefore, he hadn't considered that he could smoothly exchange the antidote for the Shaw family's assets.

If he had known this, he wouldn't have given the antidote to Jack. With his current influence, if he could successfully take the Shaw family, he wouldn't be restricted by Jack! Simone knew about his cooperation with Jack. Hearing this, her expression grew serious. "Has Jack taken it?"

K nodded. "Yes."

Seeing the situation, Bethany couldn't tolerate it any longer. "You failed to deal with Charlotte during the day, and now you've even given the most crucial item to Jack! Are you useless?" Slap-

Simone suddenly raised her hand and slapped Bethany hard, never having spoken so harshly to her before. "How dare you speak like that?"

She regretted pampering Bethany into her current state, but she couldn't bring herself to be too harsh.

Bethany was stunned and exclaimed, "What are you doing? Are you hitting me over someone unworthy of attention? Who is he? Your lover or something?"

Simone snapped, "Shut up!"

"I won't. I'm going to tell my dad!"

Bethany, enraged, turned to leave.

After all, compared to Charlotte inheriting the Shaw family, Ben would rather entrust it to her. She didn't have to rely on Simone!

However, just as she turned, someone struck her from behind, knocking her out.

Simone quickly supported her limp body and laid her on the sofa. Sighing, she looked at K. "K, don't mind what Bethany said. She's been spoiled by me since she was little, and that's why she..."

"It's alright." K took her hand. "When I had my accident and left so suddenly, you took care of her, found a way to get her into the Shaw family, and cared for her personally. I'm grateful to you for being so kind to her." "But it was because of me that you had the accident...

Over the years, Simone's affection for Bethany was partly because she was K's daughter and partly due to guilt and self-blame.

K smiled nonchalantly. "Let's not talk about it. Now, what about the situation with Charlotte?"

"There's only one antidote?"

"Yes." K confirmed, narrowing his sharp eyes. "If not, I can try to get it back from Jack."

As long as he could secure the Shaw family, it didn't matter if he fell out with Jack.

"Don't!"

Simone was wary of Jack and didn't want to fall out with him unless absolutely necessary.

She paused for a moment, then smiled. "I remember you said that the initial poisoning symptoms couldn't be detected by medical equipment."

"So, if I use a fake poison to trick them into signing the agreement, Charlotte might not realize it immediately?"

K cocked his brows. "That's correct."

After all, without symptoms, it's impossible to immediately determine if the detox was successful.

Simone decisively stood up. "Then I have a plan."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

She looked at the unconscious Bethany. "Leave her to you for now. When she wakes up, just let her leave."

"Should I arrange for someone to accompany you to the hospital?"

"No need." Simone shook her head. "It might reveal your whereabouts. Frank is very perceptive."

'Whereabouts, perceptive."

Hearing these words, K quickly made to head outside, only to hear a commotion coming from outside the courtyard!

Simone also heard and looked at K anxiously. "K, have fallen into Charlotte's trap?"

"Mrs. Shaw-" As soon as those words were said, Frank, accompanied by Alan and several subordinates, strode in with a sharp gaze, playing with a lighter with a smirk that was neither a smile nor a frown. "Do you think calling my fiancee that way means I have a good temper?"
