Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 44

In public, Ryan maintained his usual aloof demeanor.

The black trench coat added to his domineering aura.

As he approached step by step, I suddenly felt uneasy.

This matter could be big or small.

Small, it could be settled with money. But big...

With Ryan's power in Jelaston, it would be as easy as flipping a hand to make Jane go to jail.

And undoubtedly, he would protect Jessica.

As expected, he stood beside Jessica. His eyes were slightly lowered, lips lightly parted. "How do you want to deal with this?"

I clenched my fists and before Jessica could speak, Jane pulled me behind her.

"I'll take full responsibility. This has nothing to do with Charlotte."

"Jane!"

I was anxious, but Jane glanced at me, and said disdainfully, "How are you going to deal with this? Beg your ex-husband publicly for my sake or beg the mistress who's wrecking your marriage?" Before she finished, the atmosphere in the room became even more tense.

Jessica sneered. "Who are you calling a mistress? According to the order of arrival, Ryan and I have known each other since childhood. So I can't be the mistress. And if being unloved means being a mistress, then it's even less me!"

Each word made my heart ache even more.
