Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 506

Chapter 506 

Jane shook her head and quickly declined, “I won’t be going.” 

I looked at her, thinking she was just being shy, “Why? Jane, come with me…” 

“One of the most important moments for my best friend, I wouldn’t miss it.” Jane flashed a mysterious smile and said. “But I have other plans.” 

Suddenly, I had a thought and guessed, “You want to go with Mr. Collins, right?” 

The Chi family is also a prominent family in Jeswood, and Zachary would certainly receive an invitation. 

Jane avoided answering, quickly pushing me out the door, “Stop hesitating. Go and see Ms. Jackson!” 

On the way to the Cloud, I saw that the WhatsApp conversation with Frank was still on last night’s messages. I couldn’t help but send him a message. 

“Have you had breakfast? How is the situation?” 

There was no reply. 

As I was about to call him out of concern, a news alert popped up. 

The Smith Group’s M398 chip, which was patented two months ago, was facing a lawsuit from the patent- holding company, demanding an immediate halt to the infringement. This chip was a new product that the Smith Group spent a lot of resources developing last year. Halting production would mean a huge financial loss and a likely disruption of cash flow. 

The ongoing projects would also be directly impacted. 

The stock price has been plummeting since the market opened today, and investors were anxious and 

distressed. 

The chip has been on the market for two months, but the lawsuit has come just as Frank is returning to the Smith Group. 

The intent seemed too obvious. 

My heart sank, and seeing that Frank still hadn’t replied, I stopped myself from making the call. 

At that moment, I shouldn’t disturb him. 

He needs to handle everything without worrying about anything else. 

When I arrived in the Cloud, Yasmin noticed I was distracted, “Charlotte, what’s wrong? Did you see the news about the Smith Group?” 

“Yeah.” I pinched the palm of my hand. “Mom… I’m a bit worried about him.” 

Frank hasn’t yet firmly reestablished himself at the Smith Group, and with such a big issue arising, I’m worried he might encounter more trouble. 

Yasmin pointed to my phone. “Have you called him?” 

“No…” I pursed my lips. “I’m afraid of disturbing him.”

With such a major issue, he’s likely swamped with meetings, and he might wish he could clone himself to handle everything.
