Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 

On the day Grandfather passed away, he mentioned that Ryan would eventually find out. He couldn’t be kept in the dark forever. Knowing that night was better than knowing later, to prevent him from being deceived by this Lauren and Jessica any longer. 

However, what caught me off guard was Albert, sounding puzzled on the phone. “Mrs. Frost, where did you hear about this?” 

My vision almost blacked out. I could already sense Ryan’s extremely cold gaze! 

“Grandfather told me.” I even started to doubt if I had remembered something wrong, but quickly confirmed that I hadn’t. 

I tried to remind him, “Albert, don’t you remember? It was in Grandfather’s study that day, and Grandfather even took…” 

“Are you mistaken?” Albert interrupted me abruptly! 

I was completely dumbfounded and couldn’t believe it. “How could I possibly forget such a big thing…” 

“Charlotte!” Jessica, who had been nervous, suddenly sneered. “Are you trying to bribe Albert to testify for you? Unfortunately, he was Grandfather’s most trusted person and would never collude with you! Give up!” 

“Albert…” 

I persisted, wanting to confirm with Albert again, but Ryan snatched the phone from me and walked outside with a grim expression, apparently asking Albert something. 

When he returned, the brewing storm in his eyes seemed almost ready to swallow me whole. His voice was cold and sharp, “Do you have anything else to say?” 

“Ryan…” 

Lauren, with an elder’s tolerance, said, “Ms. Wilson might just be dissatisfied with your favoritism towards Jessica, so she fabricated these things to drive a wedge between us. Ultimately, it’s human nature. Don’t 

be too angry…” 

Seeing her calm demeanor, I knew I had walked into a trap. 

I pinched my palm, looking only at Ryan. “Whether you believe it or not, what I just said is true.” 

“That’s enough!” Ryan shouted harshly, “You’ve caused enough trouble. Isn’t that enough?” 

Rather than believing what I said, he seemed more inclined to believe I was a slanderous troublemaker. 

A slight smile appeared my lips. “So, you don’t have any trust in me at all, do you…” 

“I feel so uncomfortable…” 

Suddenly, Lauren began to breathe heavily again and fainted the next moment. 

Jessica played her role even more convincingly, bursting into tears instantly. “Ryan, are you determined to Het her anger my mother and get her killed?” 

Ryan’s brows furrowed coldly as he looked over, his voice seeming to squeeze through his teeth, “Get out!

His gaze was like a sharp blade, plercing straight into my heart. 

I froze for a moment, then heard him lowly command, “Charlotte, I’m telling you to leave!” 

My mind went blank for an instant, finally confirming that he wasn’t yelling at someone else, but at me. 

Yes, what was I compared to Lauren, who had went into a coma trying to save him? 

I walked out of the hospital, looked at the envelope in my hand, and tore it to shreds in an instant. 

He didn’t believe me. 

He didn’t believe anything. 

No matter how much evidence I prepared, what was the use? 

Even more unexpectedly, Albert actually changed his statement… 

I drove home in a turmoil of emotions. Just as I parked the car, I unexpectedly saw a Bentley parked not 

far away. 

It was the one Grandfather had used most frequently.
