Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 207

On my way to the Frost Group, I couldn't help but feel relieved that Ryan finally seemed willing to start suspecting Lauren and Jessica. I should have been able to breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps this time it would provide answers to both grandpa's and his mother's deaths. However, deep down, I still felt unsettled, though I couldn't quite pinpoint why.

Upon arriving at the Frost Group, I immediately sensed a stark contrast to the atmosphere of the past. Everyone was hurrying around with serious expressions. As I exited the elevator on the top floor, this atmosphere reached its peak.

Gary personally waited for me in the elevator lobby and escorted me to the CEO's office. Sensing my curiosity, he sighed. "The online situation has had a huge impact on the company. Several projects that were on the brink of completion are now being viewed with skepticism by our partners."

I furrowed my brows. "It's gotten this serious?"

It seemed that Frank indeed had considerable skills. His actions had triggered a crisis at the Frost Group unlike anything in recent years.

"Yeah, no one saw this coming."

Gary glanced towards the direction of the CEO's office. "Since yesterday's incident, Mr. Frost hasn't slept at all."

I fell silent, unsure of what to say. It was awkward. Publicly, I was already a resigned employee, and privately, I was soon to be a divorced wife.

Gary pushed open the door to the CEO's office, and I stepped inside to see a man standing in front of the French window, talking on the phone. His demeanor was commanding, and smoke rings intermittently escaped his fingertips.
