Ex-husband’s Regret

I frowned and asked, "Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, but because of this, we weren't able to protect Madam Shaw in time."

Upon hearing this, I realized that Simone hadn't come alone.

But this time, she wasn't manipulating things from behind the scenes. She was directly involved, which I hadn't anticipated.

I stared at Simone and said, "I'll have someone bring Bethany over. Let go of Grandma first!"

"Do you think you have the right to bargain with me?" Simone replied confidently.

Grandma looked increasingly weak and showed no sign of resistance, completely under Simone's control.

I had my doubts. "If you poison Grandma again, I guarantee you'll face a terrible end."

Simone wasn't intimidated by my threat and even deliberately loosened her grip.

When Grandma swayed, my heart nearly stopped.

"Grandma!" I glared at Simone angrily and said through gritted teeth, "Dare to loosen your grip, and I promise Bethany will also suffer!"

Simone laughed insolently. "You have no skills beyond making verbal threats."

At that moment, I truly had no other options.

I couldn't reach Frank.

I didn't know where Bethany was.

If Simone became even more ruthless and pushed Grandma down regardless of Bethany, I couldn't bear to think further. "I'll call Frank to bring Bethany over now." As I took out my phone, I warned, "Hold on to Grandma tightly!"

But the phone remained unanswered, even after it was hung up.

The longer it went unanswered, the more anxious I became, wondering if something had gone wrong on

Frank's end.

What if he was in trouble too?

""Charlotte!"

Jane, having finished bandaging herself, came back and looked at me with guilt, wanting to apologize.

shook my head. Seeing her pale lips, I knew she was badly injured.

Compared to her, I should feel more remorseful for dragging her into this.

Right now, I didn't have the time to ask how Simone had suddenly entered. I gathered my thoughts and said urgently, "Jane, call Zachary immediately." Jane complied immediately.

But no one answered.

She persistently called several more times.

Still, no one answered.

Jane began to panic. "Charlotte..."

I clenched my fists and looked at Simone. "I'll have someone go home to get the agreement form. I'll trade the Shaw family assets for Grandma. Will that work?" I was taking a gamble.

I was betting that Simone valued the assets more than Bethany.

"I knew it. This old hag gave you the Shaw family."

As expected.

I continued to entice her. "Yes, I've signed the agreement. The Shaw family is now mine, but I can transfer it to you if you let Grandma go."

"And..." I raised the stakes. "Bethany will also return to you unharmed."

"I only want Grandma. Anything else you want, I can give you."

Simone laughed heartily.

I could see that she was very pleased.

That kind of satisfaction from finally achieving her goal.

She looked disdainfully at me and said, "If you had done this earlier, the old fool wouldn't have suffered so much."

I thought Simone had taken the bait, but suddenly her expression turned vicious.

"But you've outdone yourself this time! Don't think I don't know that you've planned everything with Frank. If I don't see Frank today, I'll push your grandma down!" "No!"

I was very desperate. Seeing Grandma on the edge, my heart ached more than ever.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

However, I couldn't reach Frank at all.

"I'll give you five minutes. If you can't get Frank to show himself, then prepare for your grandma's death!"

Just when I was about to lose all hope, a sharp male's voice sounded. "How about you prepare for your daughter's death first?"
