Ex-husband’s Regret

"Of course!" Yasmin agreed readily. She then stood up and said to me, "I'm going to check on your grandmother. Seeing you so worried and restless, and since I don't interact with her often, it shouldn't stimulate her too much. Maybe she'll still remember me." I nodded. "But can you promise me to tell me about any developments, no matter what? Don't hide anything. I can handle it."

"You can handle it?" Yasmin tapped my forehead. "I asked Frank on the way here. He wouldn't lie to me, his future mother-in-law. You didn't tell me that you were rushed into the emergency room last night."

I rubbed my nose.

When I was being honest with her earlier, I had indeed left out that detail. Even though I was fine now, it would definitely be unsettling for my mom.

Mainly, if she were worried, she would most likely disapprove of me staying at the hospital. She was already busy and had to divide her energy to deal with my issues. The matter with my grandmother shouldn't be something my mom had to handle. After all, she wasn't married to Ben, nor was she his ex-wife. My grandmother wasn't her mother-in-law.

"I'm sorry." I pouted. "I promise there won't be a next time."

"Better not." Yasmin patted my head. "Alright, don't worry. Mom won't hide anything from you."

"Can I go and see her now?"

"Please go ahead." I led my mom to the door of the ward and made a gesture of invitation.

My mom gave me a reproachful look.

She was already beautiful, and with that look, her gaze was captivatingly enchanting.

No wonder she had remained popular in the entertainment industry for so long.

After my mom left the ward, I couldn't help but wonder, "Why did Ben cheat with Simone, who is so inferior to my mom?"

Jane, eating the fruit my mom brought, responded to my question by pointing at the plastic fork in her hand, looking ready to talk.

"Men always wants to have a taste of everything."

"Simone may be inferior to Ms. Jackson in every way, but she doesn't show Ms. Jackson's dominance. Even if she secretly thinks Ben is a fool, she would still say things he loves to hear."

"Men like to be admired and pampered. Auntie is beautiful, but she's not good at flattering others. She needs someone to pamper her."NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

That part was true.

After chatting for a while, my curiosity got the better of me. "You know how to talk and flirt, but you're definitely not the type to flatter someone against your own feelings. So, how did you pursue Zachary?"

Jane forked a piece of fig and popped it into my mouth "I'd rather not talk about that person."

1 chewed slowly. "Alright, let's drop it."

A few seconds later, Jane sighed softly and said, "I can't do things that destroy other people's relationships."

"I'm just asking, do you really like Zachary a lot?"

The ward fell silent suddenly.

Jane took a long time to speak, as if struggling before finally admitting, "When Tom got married, I didn't feel as hurt as I did over Zachary's dream girl."

At the Smith Group.

There was a senior executives meeting in the conference room.

When Luke entered, he saw Frank sitting in the main seat, which traditionally belonged to him.

The board members and senior executives below kept their heads down.

"Greetings, Mr. Smith. Please take a seat."

Frank had a casual smile on his lips and gestured to the seat next to him.

The entire conference room was silent, no one dared to speak.

Ten minutes before Luke arrived, everyone had received enough leverage to control them.

They knew that with this Rank returning, the Smith family was definitely going to change hands.

However, Luke was stubborn and refused to fully give up his power.

Though he acknowledged Frank's abilities, he couldn't stand Frank's arrogance. He had also done things he regretted, and he feared being swept out the door by Frank one day if he didn't personally hold the reins of power. "You're just the CEO. I hold the most shares and am the decision-maker of the Smith Group," Luke declared.
