Ryan's dark eyes glanced at me, as if hoping I would step back.

I smiled faintly, firmly stating first, "What she said is true. We'll send her away by tomorrow night at the latest."

"I don’t want an answer from you..."

Ignoring my words, Lauren stared only at Ryan, looking like she couldn't bear to face the truth. "Ryan, tell Ms. Wood, is it true?"

Perhaps my gaze was too direct, but despite his discomfort, Ryan spoke in a deep voice. "It's true."

"Mom, did you hear that!"

Jessica cried out, "Ryan clearly promised you he would take care of me, but now he's siding with outsiders to bully us."

Ryan's face turned cold. "Charlotte is my wife, not an outsider!"

"You're getting divorced!"

Jessica's face was streaked with tears as she emphasized firmly.

As if she was the one who had been wronged.

Ryan frowned, feeling displeased. "Until the divorce certificate is in hand, she remains my wife."

I was somewhat surprised that he emphasized our relationship like this to Jessica.

    Ryan's mother, grandfather, and child. Three generations died at their hands."Charlotte! What nonsense are you spouting?" Jessica rushed over, shoved me, and warned fiercely, "I can sue you for defamation, do you know that?"With the situation slightly "improving," Lauren, also puzzled, looked over. "Ms. Wilson, what do you mean by that?""You know full well what I mean"Under Ryan's cold and gloomy expression, I spoke word by word to Lauren, "Back then, in order to marry into the Frost family, you pushed Ryan's pregnant mother down the stairs. Have you forgotten?""You need evidence to say that!" Lauren's voice rose and fell, seemingly very angry at my accusation!Just as Grandfather said, she thought that by destroying the surveillance, she left no evidence behind.Jessica, reminded by her words, also seized the crux of the matter. "Right, Charlotte, conviction isn't solely based on hearsay. Evidence, right?"I called Gary to bring over the document I had just given to Ryan.

    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 Gran

    "So, you're afraid that the truth about his mother's death would upset him again?""Yes." Albert nodded. "The psychologist suggested taking it slow, waiting until Mr. Frost's condition improves.""Got it."I replied calmly, not feeling any other emotions. In fact, if it weren't for Grandfather's dying instructions, I wouldn't even want to deal with the Frost family's affairs.However, when I returned home and thought about Ryan's plight, I couldn't help but feel a trace of... pity.But soon, remembering how he had shouted at me in the ward, that pitiful trace of pity vanished completely.I suddenly hated myself a bit, hated that I was always unable to come up with a foolproof plan.Lying bored on the sofa, Jane suddenly arrived.I opened the door. "Why didn't you just use your fingerprint to get in?""I was afraid I might see something I shouldn't."Jane twisted her slender waist, entered gracefully, kicked off her heels, slipped into her own pair of house slippers, glanced a

    "That really does look like them!"Following my gaze, Jane also saw the resemblance and got excited. "Let's go!"She unbuckled her seatbelt and quickly got out of the car.I followed closely behind as we rushed into the hotel lobby.But where were they?We had to approach the hotel receptionist. Jane softened her voice, "Miss, the man and woman who just entered, are they significantly different in age?"Jane was pretty and smiled disarmingly, making people let their guard down easily.One of the younger receptionists fell into her trap. "They seem quite different in age...""Different how? Your head looks a little different to me."The more experienced receptionist cut her off. She looked over and said, "I'm sorry, but we can't disclose any information about our guests.""That old man looks like my dad!"Jane's mind raced, tears in her eyes as she continued passionately, "My mom helped him to start his business from nothing, endured so much hardship, and now that he's made s

    "It seems that Ryan, after all the trouble, is protecting his second stepmother?""Compared to him," I pursed my lips. "what I'm more curious about is how Lauren would react if this thing is true."Today at the hospital, she was still working so hard to defend her daughter.If she knew that her daughter had climbed into her husband's bed during these years she was unconscious...The showdown between mother and daughter should be quite spectacular.Jane glanced at me, saying, "What are you thinking? It's like you're planning something unethical."I smirked. "I'm thinking about when I can catch the live action of the piston in motion."Jane cocked her brows. "I didn't expect you, Charlotte, to be into such unique stuff.""Pushed into it."‘Jessica, this time, I will definitely hit the mark,’ I thought.At this hour, the nightlife at the bar had just begun, with loud music pounding the eardrums, and couples dancing intimately in the dance floor. It felt like like stepping into a

    I jumped as I turned around to meet a pair of sparkling amber eyes, unconsciously patting my chest. "Jack, you scared me!""Sorry." He chuckled softly, his lips curling. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just happened to pass by."I smiled indifferently. "Are you here for business or with friends?""Friends."Jack's voice was warm, but when he looked at Jane, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. I naturally knew who his "friends" were. Jane also saw through it in a glance. "You guys talk. I'm going to dance."As soon as she entered the bar, she took off her coat, revealing a black silk strap dress that exposed her beautiful collarbones. Stepping onto the dance floor, she immediately drew many gazes. Her dancing was captivating.I watched Jack sit down before asking, "Is your injury okay? You probably shouldn't drink.""The injury's nothing serious, just looks scary." He shook his head casually, his eyes lightly amused. "I haven't been drinking, just

    On the way back, Jack controlled the steering wheel, glancing at me. "Are you still worried about Jane?""No." I shook my head. "She can handle these things herself."Jane weighs everything she does on a scale in her heart. I believe she has the ability to withdraw in time."Yeah." Jack responded lightly. "As for the matter with MS, what have you decided?""Jack, thank you for your kindness."After thanking him, I explained, "I can't go to MS at the moment. A lot has happened recently, and I think I need to take a break first."Once the matters that need to be resolved are settled peacefully, then I'll be able to work with peace of mind. Jack didn't mind at all, just chuckled softly. "So it seems like we can’t be colleagues.""Huh?" I didn't understand. Jack's eyes were dark, his thin lips tinged with an imperceptible gentleness. "Some things have to be resolved in advance, so I'm going back to the Renolds family soon.""Back to the Renolds family?" I was somewhat surprised. Fr

    I was astonished by his confidence. Yes, I didn't deny that I used to like him a lot, but why did he think I would stand still and wait for him. Why would I choose him forever?My wrist twisted in his grip, but I couldn't break free. I said slowly and deliberately, "I don't want to. Ryan, let go!"The light from above cast shadows over his head, deepening the hollows of his eyes. His voice turned cold as frost. "Very well, you really have some backbone."However, in the next moment, he effortlessly pushed me into the car and slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Ignoring my attempt to open it, he pressed the door tightly shut.Outside the car, two men over 6 feet tall exuded a tense atmosphere, like a spark ready to ignite gunpowder.I feared they would start fighting again, but I didn't know what Ryan said—just a few words—and Jack ceased his hostility. He seemed tinged with resignation and restraint.Ryan pulled open the car door and shoved me inside. As I got in, I heard Jac

    "She's originally from abroad, it's hard to catch her." Frank waved his hand and said to Zachary, "Take care of it. I'm going to have some fun for a while. Once you're better, you can handle the aftermath." Zachary nodded. After Frank left the hospital room, Zachary told everyone to go home. "I'm fine, just a stomach cramp. It's not serious." Rebecca held his hand, hesitant to speak. Zachary took the initiative and said, "Don't worry. I've already cleared things up with Jane. Even if we run into each other in the future, we won't greet each other. We'll be strangers from now on." Outside the hospital room, Jane withdrew her hand from the door, turning to speak to Charlotte. "No need to go in. He's fine." After getting in the car, Charlotte looked at her. "You should stay at Region Gardens for a while." "Once Zachary and Frank finish dealing with the Sanchez family, you can move back to your own place. The Sanchez family has deep roots, and I'm worried that if

    They were eager to see Zachary and hadn't had the chance to speak yet. "Was it Zachary who took Lexi away?" Frank nodded. "He said he would handle it personally, so it should be him handling it." "If the Sanchez family is inconvenient for you, I can take care of it." Just as Eric was about to speak, Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez arrived at the hospital room. They looked quite angry. "Eric, we've known each other for so many years. Even if we can't have a marriage alliance, don't harm my daughter." He unlocked his phone and handed it to Eric. Eric saw the image of Lexi tightly bound. He frowned. Zachary was still unconscious at this moment. Who sent this photo? Ross entered shortly after, answering his question. He heard Ross tell Frank. "The Winston family took her." The Winston family was the Collins family's greatest enemy. And the enemies who had nearly taken Jane's life in Heliafield were the most loyal followers of the Winston family. Thinking b

    Charlotte patted her head. "First, make a video call to that little girl." Jane quickly found her phone and opened the landlord's WhatsApp. As soon as the call connected, the little girl appeared on screen, her eyes red. Tears were still visible on her face. The landlord was sitting next to her, waiting, not having gone to sleep. Jane apologized, "Sorry to disturb your rest." "Don't say that." The landlord gently patted her daughter's head. "I'm just happy you're alright." Jane smiled at the little girl. "Thanks to Celine, I'm fine." The little girl leaned closer to the screen. "Jane, you're lying. Your lips are swollen." Jane cleared her throat. "I ate something spicy earlier." She quickly added to prevent the little girl from saying anything else, "Alright, go to sleep now. We'll talk more when you get out of school. Jane went through a lot today, and she's tired too." The little girl, very understanding, handed the phone to her mother and went to bed

    The captain laughed. "Don't think that just because we're from abroad, we don't understand anything.""Young lady, if you want to buy some time, then I'll play along with you. But if you're hoping for someone to rescue you, I advise you to give up on that thought. This is the border. Domestic ships can't get through here."Well, you don't know Frank.There's no one who can stop him from going where he wants to go.Jane tried her best to suppress her fear. "Sir, I have all kinds of tricks. If I can make you guys happy, can you spare my life?"She reached out, grabbed the captain's belt, and moved closer."As long as you don't kill me, you'll be my savior. I'll be yours from now on and let you have your fun with me. Is that okay?"Although Jane hadn't dressed herself up recently.But her facial features were stunning. Those fox-like eyes with a smile in them were even more alluring.The captain kept swallowing saliva. Apparently, he was attracted.However, they had already rece

    They were anxious, not just because of the situation, but because they feared Zachary would go mad and go abroad with Jane. Frank glanced at their expressions and immediately understood that they were aware of Lexi's plan to send Jane abroad. "I suggest that while Zachary is looking for Jane, you should take care of the Sanchez family's matters. Otherwise, when Zachary comes back, there will be hell to pay." Jane ate the meal the waiter brought and then felt drowsy. She fell into a light sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already half past nine. She remembered the things she had told the little girl before leaving and quickly grabbed her phone to call. But just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several adult men stormed in and grabbed her, dragging her outside. "What are you doing?" They had originally planned to reach the border, but unexpectedly, a violent storm had forced a slight course change. This delay allowed the effects of th

    Lexi said, "The plane will leave traces. By then, Zachary will find you. The ship will change at the border and private sea areas. Once she changes ships, it will be hard to track." Jane remembered when Jack had taken Charlotte away before. She felt a sense of unease. After all, Lexi wasn't someone she could fully trust. "I didn't expect you to be so timid." Lexi noticed Jane's worry. "I thought someone with your background, who dared to pursue someone as different as Zachary, and even date him, would have extraordinary courage." But wasn't Jane regretting it now? Otherwise, why would she be running away? She decided not to care anymore. With a firm heart, she boarded the ship. Lexi smiled in satisfaction, but then a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke to the captain. "When we reach the border, throw her into the sea and feed her to the sharks." No matter where she went, as long as Zachary wanted to find her, it was just a matter of time.

    Lexi was so angry that she wanted to smash something. She got up and walked away, with each step of her high heels hitting the ground, the sound echoing her immense fury. The more difficult it was to conquer, the more determined she became to conquer it! Zachary went directly back to the Collins family home. The Collins family members were somewhat uneasy. When they saw him come back alone, they were both shocked and suspicious. "Did Lexi not come back with you?" asked Rebecca. Zachary did not respond and walked upstairs with long strides. Rebecca, along with Sir Collins and Madam Collins, exchanged gazes, all feeling something was off. It was strange that Zachary had actually returned to the Collins family. "Sean." Rebecca saw someone else entering behind him and immediately asked, "Did you follow him the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual?" Sean bent slightly, his face carrying a polite smile as he respectfully replied, "No abnormalities w

    The situation between Zachary and Jane's relationship had not been made public. It was normal for the employees at the company not to know about it. Zachary did not answer when people congratulated him, and Lexi stood silently by his side, not saying anything either. But to those around them, their actions were as good as an admission.Some people even offered their congratulations, but Zachary didn't acknowledge them. He didn't go upstairs. Instead, he turned and left the building. This time, he didn't even get into Lexi's car. The smell inside the car was too overwhelming, making him dizzy.Lexi followed him, and they entered a nearby cafe. He didn't go straight to Jane's place, but Lexi knew that was just a way of hiding his true intentions. However, she wasn't concerned. After all, the Collins family would never approve of him being with Jane. She just needed to give him a bit of time to play along."Mr. Collins, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?" Lexi asked with a sli

    The shock from the Collins family was too much for her. She wouldn't take the initiative, nor would she have the courage to continue with him.So what other way did he have?He'd tried both soft and hard tactics, yet this situation was still more complicated than advanced mathematics.The next day.Lexi invited Zachary out.But the Collins family hesitated.Rebecca said, "Why don't you two spend some more time getting to know each other at home first?"Lexi smiled. "Mrs. Collins, I know what you're worried about, but that woman is no longer in Jeswood."Rebecca was aware of this.After all, they had been keeping an eye on Jane's movements. They even knew where she was staying.It was surprising that Lexi had just returned a day ago, yet she had already figured it out.This kind of method and family background was exactly what the Collins family needed.It was also what Zachary needed."I've erased all traces.
