The tone of his voice was flat, but it was chillingly cold.

It seemed like, as long as Bob dared, he would crush Bob's hand.

This seems to be the first time I had ever, truly experienced what it was like to be defended by him.

Only, it came a little too late. I wasn’t touched at all

Bob tried to move, but realized that a man like him couldn’t break free from Ryan’s grip. This caused him to tremble and quickly explained, "Mr. Frost, accident, this is an accident!"

Aunt Laura looked at this situation and was also a little afraid, "Charlotte..."

I would like to give Bob a lesson, but the aunt is already like this, it is not very appropriate.

I can only pull Ryan's arm, "Forget it, let go of him."

When Ryan was angry, it was not so easy to listen to others, he stared at Bob. "If you touch her, I will cut off your hand, understand?"

"I understand! I wouldn’t dare... you can rest assure!" Bob said with a pale face.

Only then did Ryan throw his hand away. I felt exhausted as I looke

    "Charlotte."His gaze lingered on me, emotions swirling in his eyes. "I regret going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you.""Huh?""I can't bear to divorce you."His voice was low, as if veiled in mist.I licked my lips, nodded towards the elevator about to arrive. "I’ve got to go."I had said what needed to be said. Those futile struggles would only add to the trouble."I said I’ll give you a lift...""Ryan!"The elevator doors opened, and inside was unexpectedly Jessica, her face lit up in surprise, softly saying, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be free to come this afternoon? You couldn't bear to leave me alone, could you?"Without looking back, I stepped into the elevator, pressed the floor button, not even sparing a glance to see what expression Ryan had.Whether it was resignation, annoyance, or indulgence, none of it mattered to me now.What I must learn now was to let go. Let go of someone I had pursued for eight years but couldn't keep up with.On the way home, Jack

    I took the phone and almost immediately confirmed that it was my design.Moreover, it was the design from my draft, with a few details that hadn't been finalized yet, copied by someone else.But it was this very point that made me instantly understand how my design had fallen into Jessica's hands, sending a chill down my spine."Don't worry too much," Jack reassured in a soothing tone, offering a peace of mind. "Until you figure out how to prove it's your design, I'll keep this matter under control.""No need to suppress it," I said, tucking my long hair behind my ear and smiling. "Let it spread. The more it spreads, the better."I hadn't expected Jessica to desire so much from me.Since she walked right into my trap, I didn't mind teaching her a lesson.Jack's eyes were clear and he smiled faintly. "I was initially worried that consecutive incidents might overwhelm you. Looks like you've already thought of a way?""Yeah." I nodded. "Back in university, Prof. Casterwill told us

    He chuckled and asked, "Do you want to keep it low-key or make a big fuss?""Make a big fuss," I replied without hesitation."Leave it to me," Jack nodded, helping me into the car. "Drive safely and call me if anything comes up."His voice was clear and gentle, possessing a magical calmness that could soothe.I drove out of the parking lot. When I stopped to pay the fee, I glimpsed through the rearview mirror and saw him still standing there, tall and straight, his gaze seemingly following the direction I departed.If I didn't know about the many years he had admired another woman, I might have suspected he was secretly infatuated with me.Familiar with the route, I drove towards the Frost Group. Along the way, I called Nancy."Wait for me in the underground parking lot in ten minutes," I said."Charlotte," Nancy seemed somewhat taken aback. "I'm, I'm busy right now."My tone turned cold. "Should I come up to find you then?""Well... it's better if I come down," she replied r

    The development of events unfolded exactly as expected.As soon as I left the Frost Group, this matter began to ferment within the industry circles.I asked Jack, and he confirmed that it was spread by Jessica's side.The Deputy Director of the Frost Group accused of plagiarism.Most people were easily led, after all, she was indeed the first to submit the design draft.Everyone abhorred such things, and the insults hurled at me were incredibly harsh."Plagiarist, unworthy to be in this field, get out of the design world!""Stealing someone else's hard work, may your whole family die.""How shameless, daring to plagiarize within the same company, what kind of person is this Charlotte?"Just as I was about to turn off my phone, the official MS blog posted an announcement, roughly stating that tomorrow both Jessica and I would be summoned to the MS Group headquarters to settle the matter of plagiarism, and inviting colleagues to witness the spectacle.The next day, I woke up ea

    I couldn't help but look at him gratefully, then walked in confidently and said, "Good morning, everyone. I'm Charlotte. I've come here today to clarify and explain everything clearly to you all."Jessica followed closely behind, saying, "You want to prove your innocence, right? Let's begin then."She seemed remarkably certain.If I hadn't kept a trump card up my sleeve out of habit, this situation would have indeed followed her lead, leaving me speechless."First, please listen to a recording." I took out my phone and played the conversation I had with Nancy yesterday.The expressions of everyone present changed immediately. Jessica seemed to have anticipated this and calmly said, "What does this prove? Nancy is your assistant. Who's to say this isn't staged by you?""You make a valid point." I nodded approvingly and took out the manuscript of my design from my bag. "Please take a look, everyone. This is my design manuscript. You can clearly see the modifications made. Jessica's

    "I'm not as dramatic as you."I left these words behind, unwilling to entangle with her any longer, and turned to leave."Don't go! You must give me an explanation today!"However, she suddenly rushed over, stumbling deliberately straight towards me.And beside me was a large fountain!She crashed into me directly, sending us both tumbling towards the fountain. I grabbed her arm fiercely, pulling her in with me!Didn't she want to die together?Then let's do it together.The bone-chilling water completely soaked us in an instant, unexpectedly filling my mouth and nose!Fortunately, the water wasn't deep. I groped around with my hands, trying to find a point of support, when a large hand suddenly gripped mine tightly."Charlotte!"In the next instant, someone pulled me out, wrapping me in a coat and holding me in a warm embrace!I coughed repeatedly from being choked by water, still recovering. Jack then shouted as he looked at Jessica, who was still struggling, "Don't rescu

    Looking at his reaction, an indescribable sense of pleasure surged within me.This pleasure drove me to speak even more.I felt dizzy and my body seemed to burn, but my spirit was extremely exhilarated. I disregarded everything else, just wanting to vent my anger. I was eager to do so without delay.Facing his dark eyes, I smiled cruelly and spoke, "Yes, when I first found out, it was just five weeks. It was very tiny, so tiny it didn't even have a heartbeat yet. There were signs of a miscarriage. I had been having stomach pains during that time because I was pregnant."Ryan looked at me in distress and lifted his lips slightly. "Why... didn't you tell me?""It was on our third wedding anniversary when I found out. I was so happy, so eager to share the news with you. I prepared a candlelit dinner at home for our anniversary, hiding the test results in the cake I baked myself, hoping to surprise you...""I didn't see any cake...""That day, you didn't care about me at all!"

    Feeling like it wasn’t enough, I smiled and said, "Ryan, when I had the miscarriage, you were with someone else. When I came out of the operating room, you slapped me hard and asked me why I didn't stop her, because I was pregnant too... I was afraid of getting hurt... I didn't dare! Are you satisfied with this answer now?""Charlotte..."This was the first time I had seen such a bewildered expression on his face. He reached out as if to hold my hand.Unexpectedly, a pair of hands intercepted him first!Suddenly, Jack returned, his gentleness tinged with sharpness. "Are you here to settle the score for Jessica? This is my doing, it has nothing to do with Charlotte."In an instant, Ryan regained his usual cold demeanor, sneering. "As for your debts, there's plenty of time. No need to rush to offer your head.""I know Ryan's methods," I couldn't help but speak up. "Jack was helping me. There's no need to shift blame onto him. If you want to defend your loved one, just come at me."

    Jane wasn't fooled."You just want to help Westley."Zachary laughed, placing some meat on her plate. "It's up to you."Ding-dong.The doorbell rang suddenly.With a mouthful of meat, Jane mumbled, "My place is quite lively recently."Zachary stood up to open the door.At the door stood Raymond."Sir...""You didn't answer your phone or respond to the messages. I had no choice but to..."Zachary's expression remained indifferent. "Get to the point."Raymond glanced behind him, lowering his voice to a near whisper. "The investigation team has arrived."Zachary's eyes flickered slightly, but his voice remained as cold as ever. "Got it."He turned back and walked to Jane, bending down to kiss her briefly. "I have to go on a business trip."Jane didn't ask more, with his job, business trips and meetings were normal. During the early stages of a project, it was understandable for him to be busy."How long?""Not sure yet."Zachary picked up his phone and quickly glanced at

    As soon as he turned around, he saw a certain onlooker hiding behind the screen, playfully winking at him.Zachary curved his lips into a smile but kept his gaze straight ahead, walking to the kitchen without saying a word.Jane hadn't finished her snack last night and was too tired after what happened with him. She didn't have the energy to think about anything.Now that she had rested well, everything seemed a bit confusing to her.It was uncomfortable not finishing the gossip.She hugged him from behind and sweetly said, "Who is this? You’re such a talented man. Oh, you’re my boyfriend."Zachary started the stove and added oil to the pan. Hearing her, he didn't respond at all.Jane, feeling playful, continued, "Come on, come on, the incredibly handsome Zachary, the husband who's endlessly good to his wife, surely he wouldn't let me suffer by not finishing the gossip, right?"Zachary shivered slightly. "Speak properly.""I am speaking properly!" she replied coquettishly.Za

    He rushed back that night.Upon learning that Jordan had gone to the Howard family's residence, he found himself only looking for trouble.Buck watched Westley hurry back, his normally well-arranged suit now creased.He didn't even enter the house, instead turning and walking away.He sighed inwardly.If he liked her, why push her away?Now, when he wanted to pull her back, the string had already snapped.If it weren’t for the fact that Westley was Buck’s superior, he really wanted to say, "You deserve this."Mr. Howard glanced toward the door and then poked Mrs. Howard's arm with his finger.Mrs. Howard looked at Jordan, who had her head lowered.Her voice was firm, clearly having made up her mind.It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."Alright, I'll persuade Westley. But you're still my goddaughter. Since you're here, why not have a meal with me?"Jordan nodded.Westley went to find Zachary.Zachary was cooking, and he didn't answer the phone in time.Jane was stil

    Zachary had taken control of significant power by his 30s.He owned countless riches.His troubled love life was something he had created himself, and he couldn't blame anyone else.What was there to be violent about?Even what Zachary did didn’t count as violent.Though sometimes, he could indeed be annoyingly domineering and overbearing."Are you cursing me inwardly?"Jane quickly shook her head. "No, I just don't understand why Westley..."Zachary narrowed his eyes slightly. "Liar.""You're misbehaving, so today I'll punish you. No gossip for you.""What?"This was serious!For Jane, this was worse than being executed.She quickly leaned in and kissed him. "Please, tell me, Zachary..."Zachary's gaze flickered. "What did you just call me?"Jane leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Honey?"The man's Adam's apple bobbed.The interrupted atmosphere returned as he flipped over, pinning her beneath him.Jane quickly extended her hand to push him off. "You can't do

    Jane's eyes turned sly."How are you different?"As she spoke, her hand slid downward, teasing, "Let me take a look."Zachary pressed down on her hand and grunted.But there was a smile in his eyes.He tilted his head and leaned toward her ear, his voice husky. "Let me help you... take a good look."It was at that moment that Westley's call came through.At first, Zachary didn't want to answer.He thought Westley should already have a clear understanding of things.But today, for some reason, the calls kept coming, one after another.Jane pushed him. "Answer the phone first, there must be something urgent."She flipped over and pulled the blanket over herself.Zachary cursed under his breath, suppressed his anger, and went to the balcony to take the call in the cold air."You'd better have an emergency."Westley's voice was hoarse, and his speech was fragmented, completely different from his usual meticulous and logical manner.Zachary listened for a while before piecing

    Luthor drifted on the sea for a whole day and night, reaching the border of the Cloud.Just as he was about to cross, he was surrounded by Raymond and his men.Luthor looked disheveled. Upon seeing Raymond, he thought Zachary had come and quickly tidied up his dirty clothes.He then lifted his proud head and said, "Since you're here, come out."Raymond sneered. "Mr. Collins isn’t here. It doesn't take his presence to catch you."The local police from the Cloud also arrived, joining in the capture.Luthor was unwilling to fail like this.Thinking that Nina was still behind him to help, he prepared to ignore the men around him and cross the border.At that moment, a woman charged into the encirclement and pushed him past the border."Goodbye, Luthor."She raised her gun and fired. The police could only take action.Blood splattered across Luthor's face.It was as if he was transported back to that day when he watched his beloved die in front of him."Juliet!"The woman smil

    Since then, he had begun to alienate her.After getting married, he became even colder.A kiss was a luxury.So she had never had such a fierce and intense kiss before.She didn't even know how to breathe properly during a kiss and didn't know that her breath would be taken away like that.When she was let go, she almost thought that she would suffocate.She took big gulps of air, just like a fish out of water gasping for oxygen on the shore.Westley looked down at her with his eyes lowered.Only a small lamp was on in the room. In the dim environment, his drooping eyelashes hid most of his desires.When Jordan's breathing began to stabilize, he lowered his head and kissed her again."Westley..."Jordan shook her head to avoid it, but her head was held tightly by his big hands.She was forced to raise her slender and fair neck to endure it.She had nowhere to hide. When she couldn't breathe smoothly, she wildly waved her tied hands.Her fingernails scratched across his ja

    However, one person who had a fairly good relationship with Leona looked at her worriedly and asked, "Your husband won't do anything to Leona, will he?"There was no reason for Jordan to stay. She picked up her bag and replied indifferently, "Shouldn't you be happy for her? Didn't she want to have something going on with my husband? Isn't it just what she wants to be taken away like this?"After saying that, she turned around and left.But then she met Westley's eyes.Oliver had just raised his hand to stop her, but when he saw Westley, he put his hand down.Jordan just took one look and then withdrew her gaze, sidestepping past Westley.Westley didn't stop her either. Instead, he followed her downstairs.When walking out of the hotel restaurant, he grabbed her arm and took her into his car.Jordan didn't even bother to argue at that moment.Anyway, it wouldn't lead to any result even if they argued.Westley didn't say a word either, until they arrived at the hotel where he w

    The girl finally couldn't hold back anymore. She immediately got up and walked out.As she reached the door, she turned and said to Jordan with a feigned sweetness. "Remember, you’re the one who asked me to do this."Jordan didn't bother responding.Once the girl was far enough away, Jordan stood up and went to the window to look down.Westley had been looking up at the window of her private room.Their eyes met.Westley even raised a hand towards her.Jordan didn't move, and looked at him expressionlessly.The girl reached Westley and stopped in front of him.She walked slowly, worried that the wind might mess up her carefully styled fringe."Hello, Mr. Howard."Westley didn't even spare her a glance.When she walked over, Buck blocked her a meter away from Westley.The girl adjusted her breathing and flashed a smile she thought was very sweet."I'm Jordy's good friend, my name is Leona."Westley gave her a side glance, and Buck immediately escorted her away."I won’t
