Ex-husband’s Regret

Simone's face turned pale, and she was flustered!

At that moment, there was no longer any doubt. Charlotte, that vile woman, had deliberately called her to claim she was willing to give up the inheritance in exchange for the antidote. In reality, she knew full well that there were people behind Simone, and this move was simply to draw them out!

Simone gritted her teeth. She should have known that no one would pass up such a chance to rise to the

top.

She had been trying to understand how powerful blood relations could be, but she never expected that Charlotte had no intention of giving up at all. It was all just a trap!

Frank's thin lips curled into a smirk. "Your mind isn't suited for overthinking things, and you shouldn't project your own perspective onto others."

"Charlotte called you because she truly intended to give up everything for Madam Shaw."

"But Mrs. Shaw, you must know that I..." Frank casually surveyed the room with a cold expression, yet his tone carried an almost imperceptible hint of indulgence. "I'm not someone as kind-hearted as she is." "Then you..." Simone's eyes were wary. "What are you planning to do?"

"I'm not planning anything." Frank smiled slightly. Just as Simone was about to relax, his gaze dangerously towards K. "I simply plan to call the police."

turned

"Kevin, right? A fugitive from over 20 years ago. Changing your identity and coming back to the country to engage in kidnapping and poisoning shows a blatant disregard for the law."

As he spoke, he gave a signal to Alan.

Alan immediately prepared to make the call to the police.

K's eyes widened in shock as he denied, "I don't know what you're talking about. Who is Kevin?"

Frank replied, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. The police will know everything when they arrive."

"Wait!" K stopped Alan from making the call, knowing that Frank's men had surrounded the area and escape was impossible. His eyes flashed with a harsh resolve. "Mr. Smith, are you not planning to get the antidote anymore?"

Frank leaned against the living room pillar and sneered. "If I want it, you'll just give it to me? In other words, does the person behind you agree to that?"

It was as if he could see through K completely.

"You..." K nearly couldn't hide his shock. Jack was already cunning and skilled at manipulating people, but it seemed that Frank was even more formidable.

K forced himself to stay calm and not lose his composure. He smiled and said, "The people behind me? Mr. Smith, your words are interesting. After being abroad for so many years, which influential person in Jeswood could I possibly have contact with?" Frank cocked his brows and simply said, "After evading the law for so many years, you must be facing a

life sentence, right? Do you want to go to prison, or give me the antidote? Choose."

Simone was unwilling to admit defeat. "Charlotte promised me in person that she would exchange the antidote for renouncing the inheritance..."

Frank frowned impatiently, looking down at her with a cold and indifferent tone. "Mrs. Shaw, are you still thinking about playing any tricks in front of me?" "Frank..." Simone took a deep breath. "You can't do this! The Smith family is not entirely under your control yet. Is this what Luke would agree to?" "My father?" Frank's lips curled slightly. "You should ask him at the hospital. He was admitted this morning after spitting out blood."Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Frank had already learned about Luke's collapse on the way to the abandoned factory. Alan had called the hospital, and the doctor had said he wouldn't die. So, Frank was relieved and decided to put that aside for now.

Simone had been preoccupied with the old lady's affairs all day and hadn't paid attention to online news. Upon hearing this, she was taken aback. "He spat out blood?"
