Ex-husband’s Regret

That night, kidnapping Grandma was highly risky. Kevin originally planned to poison Ben overnight, take the Shaw family's assets, and then leave that night with Simone and Bethany. With Luke's help in buying time, their escape could have gone smoothly. However, upon learning that Grandma had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Kevin felt it was an act of god. So, he let his guard down. But this lapse gave Frank an opportunity.

Kevin steeled himself and said coldly, "I don't have a wife or children."

They were in a neighboring city the ship would soon reach the border. Frank's influence was limited to Jeswood.

Kevin waved his hand and ordered, "Set sail."

The ship began to leave.

"Frank..."

Frank's subordinates were anxious!

If the ship left Jeswood, finding them again would be difficult.

But Frank remained impassive and made no move. He was too late, Kevin was already on the ship. Taking the ship by force now would only cause more harm than good. It wasn't necessary.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Since Kevin wanted to play, Frank was willing to indulge him.

He suppressed the coldness in his gaze and glanced at Simone. "Ben was so obedient to you, even willing to kidnap his own mother. You should have lived comfortably with him, enjoying everything. But now you choose to be with this madman, and he has abandoned both you and his biological daughter."

Simone glared at Frank and shouted, "You don't understand! He will definitely come back to save me and our daughter!"

Frank nodded. "Well, let's see if you are able to wait for him or not."

"What are you going to do!"

Simone was still afraid of Frank but couldn't bring herself to beg.

She knew Kevin wouldn't truly abandon her.

"I'm telling you, if you do anything to me, you'll definitely pay the price!"

'Pay the price?'

Frank had never believed in such things before. Besides, dealing with trash like Simone could only be seen as a benefit to society. What kind of price would he have to pay?

But thinking of Charlotte and the child, he took her words to heart.

"Don't worry, you won't die right away."

Frank raised his hand, and his men took Simone and Bethany to the car.

Simone was stunned. Originally, she thought that with Frank's methods, he would throw them into the sea to be fed to sharks. But she quickly realized that Frank wasn't looking to kill them. He was probably planning to play a long game. After all, Kevin had taken the Shaw family's assets. And this was something Grandma had left for Charlotte. Frank would surely want to retrieve it.

But he didn't know that Kevin had backing abroad.

Grandma's health couldn't withstand staying up late. I stayed with her in the ICU for a while, then helped

her to her ward to rest.

Once she was asleep, I whispered to Jane, "I'll have Alan take you home. I'll stay here with Grandma tonight."

"No need, I'll stay with you. I'll leave once Frank arrives," Jane insisted.

As soon as she finished speaking, Alan came in.

"Sister-in-law, Frank sent you a message and you didn't reply. I'm here to let you know that he and I need to urgently go abroad. He's already at the airport, and I'm heading there now."

"If you need anything and can't reach Frank, call me. The people around you have a special way to contact

me."

I listened while taking out my phone, and indeed had a message from Frank. "Okay, you go ahead."

After Alan left, I quickly called Frank to remind him to be safe.

When I returned to the ward, Jane had already settled down on the sofa.

I said helplessly, "The sofa isn't comfortable. We should go home..."

"It's fine, I'm too lazy to move," she replied.

She pushed me onto the accompanying bed. "Don't stay up too late. Go to sleep quickly."

Seeing her insist, I had no choice but to agree. "How about we sleep together? There should be enough space."

"Enough with the jokes. You're pregnant now, and I'm afraid you'll crush my goddaughter."
