Ex-husband’s Regret

Frank's gaze fell on the tea canister next to the teapot. Jack noticed his attention and tried to stand up with great effort, but the pain from his injuries left him too weak to succeed.

Frank took a handful of tea leaves and scattered them over Jack. He gave a knowing smile and said, "Looks like I was right."

Jack exerted all his strength to stand up, trying to snatch the black glass jar containing the only antidote from Frank's hands. But even breathing was difficult for him, let alone grabbing anything. Frank's light movement was enough to keep Jack from reaching it.

"Do you think you've won?"

With each word Jack spoke, his heart and lungs ached, but he still managed to say, "Let's not discuss the rest. This time, you can't win, Charlotte will definitely be mine." Frank raised his hand and slightly moved his index finger.

Alan immediately stepped forward to restrain Jack. Frank picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table, knelt in front of Jack, and tapped his face with the back of the knife. Then he turned the blade.

Jack gritted his teeth and remained silent, while Frank stood up casually, sneering. "Her taste is very discerning. She wouldn't be interested in someone like you." Meanwhile, at the Region Gardens.

Jane was holding her phone, jumping up and down like a squirrel, completely engrossed in the latest

gossip.

I was used to it by now.

Grandma, looking in good spirits, asked, "Have you seen anything interesting? Share it with Grandma."

I urged Jane, "Stop keeping me in suspense. Just tell me."

Jane handed her phone to me.

"I was initially interested in seeing Christine's persona collapse and how the talented netizens would criticize her. But I ended up discovering something even more intriguing." Before she could finish explaining, I saw the new trending topic.

Christine's background had been exposed.

A reporter released an interview where Yasmin directly denied Christine's identity.

I quickly called Yasmin, puzzled. "Mom, I saw the trending topic. Did you deny Christine's Identity? Weren't you and Frank planning to go after a big fish...?

Yasmin explained, "The big fish has already revealed itself. There's no need to go after it anymore."

I was stunned. "Who?"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

As soon

as I asked, I felt a pang of anxiety and had a vague guess. Yasmin continued, "It's also Jack. We initially suspected it, but just now, your uncle and Frank found that they had been in contact. Once I released the news denying her identity, Christine immediately contacted Jack." I was dumbfounded.

If poisoning Grandma was meant to use the antidote as a threat against me, then arranging a fake daughter to be around Yasmin... what was the purpose of that

The purpose suddenly dawned on me!

No wonder the silver pendant I lost in the car accident two years ago ended up in Christine's possession, making her Yasmin's daughter.

And no wonder Yasmin's paternity test with Christine came out fine.

The issue wasn't with the test being tampered with. From the start, the hair Christine gave Yasmin was

mine.

I had once trusted Jack so much. When I was in Yarlandia, he had free access to my home. Getting a few strands of my hair was no trouble at all.

This suggested that Jack was likely behind Christine assuming my identity in the Shaw family for the first time...

The more I thought about it, the colder my back felt.

Noticing my sudden silence, Yasmin asked with concern, "Charlotte, what's wrong? Is everything okay on your end?"

I came back to my senses, suppressing my shock, and shook my head. "I'm fine, Mom. How about you?" "I'm fine. The main thing is you. Even though the mastermind has been uncovered, things will definitely be unsettled for a while. You should stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy. I've scheduled the announcement of your identity three months from now
