Ex-husband’s Regret

pter 541

Upon hearing this, Frank didn't even raise an eyebrow, as if it was entirely expected. He merely nodded slightly to indicate he understood and continued walking toward the roadside.

Alan quickly followed, methodically planning the next steps. "Should I have them follow him?"

""No need."

""No need?"

Alan usually kept up with Frank's pace, but this time he felt a bit out of his depth. "Frank, he must be going to meet the person behind the scenes, right? Shouldn't we use this opportunity to follow him?"Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

As he spoke, he ran to the front of the car, opened the rear door, then walked around the front and got into the driver's seat. After starting the car, he finally heard Frank's calm voice: "Kevin might fall into the same trap twice out of panic, but the person behind him isn't so foolish. They might be even more cunning than he realizes."

Alan turned on the turn signal and merged into traffic while contemplating, "So you're saying that, following him would only bring us harm with no benefit?"

Frank nodded, the corners of his eyes carrying a hint of coldness. "That's about the gist of it."

Not only would they fail to uncover the person behind it, but they could also end up losing both their effort and resources. Frank never engaged in a losing trade.

Realizing this, Alan touched his nose and sincerely admitted, "I was slow on the uptake and almost endangered our men."

Kevin had just suffered a setback from them, so how could the mastermind allow them to follow the trail again? But Kevin had left. The only possibility was that they had walked into a large trap.

Even if there wasn't a big trap, he certainly wouldn't let them find him.

Frank glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said lazily, "It's fine. You've been working for me for years, and it's not like you've relied on your brain for that."

Alan was momentarily stunned.

What did that mean? He wasn't sure, so he pondered it further.

When Frank walked into the hospital room with the pizzas, Grandma hadn't woken up yet. I adjusted Grandma's pillow and went over to take the pizzas from him. "You could have just ordered takeout, there was no need to go all the way to buy them." He must have stayed up all night yesterday and worked all day today, so he was probably exhausted.

He didn't give me the pizzas directly but placed them on the coffee table. "The takeaway is a branch. It's not as good as the main store."

That was true. I opened the pizzas and began eating with him. However, I couldn't help feeling uneasy. The food tasted bland.

Frank looked at me and asked, "Are you afraid that Simone won't come?"

"Yes..." I was a bit worried. "Given Simone's personality she'd be eager to have me sign the agreement. immediately, but it's so late and she still hasn't come." "She won't come."

"What do you mean?"

I was taken aback, putting down my chopsticks and looking at him with confusion. "She won't come? Why? Isn't her goal the inheritance?" "Just eat your meal, and I'll explain."

He put the chopsticks back in my hand, and once I started eating again, he said, "Of course, come, but the antidote isn't in her possession." "What do you mean?" I furrowed my brows. "Isn't K the person she went to?"

she wants to

Frank poured me a glass of water. "He's the person she went to, but the real mastermind isn't her." "Not her? Besides her..."

Frank's tone grew colder. "What the other party desires is very likely not the Shaw family's fortune."

I was immediately chilled and felt a sinking feeling in my heart. "Then what about Grandma?"
