I tried to comfort her. "Maybe she's a bit introverted? Since there's still plenty of time, spending more time together should help."

"I still feel something is off." Madam Shaw seemed a bit regretful. "She used to be quite a little tyrant when she was young. No matter how much she has changed, she shouldn't be this timid..."

As I was about to respond, Madam Shaw sighed. "Well, let's not dwell on that. It's still a joyous occasion. You're still in Jeswood, right?"

I answered honestly, "Yes, I am."

"That's great! I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up." Madam Shaw said with a smile, "We're planning a welcome banquet for Lily tonight. You must come and join us. The clothes that you’ve designed for Madam Smith and me have been quite the talk among us. Many people have been asking where they were ordered from. This is a perfect opportunity for you to introduce yourself. I'm sure you won't have to worry about business for the entire year!"

"Alright, thank you!"

I hesitated a bit but

    But had I got to feel guilty about?I didn’t do anything wrong from start to finish.Thinking of this, I lifted my gaze toward their direction. After Lily threw herself at him, he hesitated slightly, seeming a bit uncomfortable, and also worried about upsetting Lily.He grasped her arm, creating some distance between them. His tone remained as indifferent as ever, without any emotion. "Slow down.""But I’ve missed you."Lily looked up at him, blinking her eyes, her pale cheeks cautious and timid, like a little white rabbit. "You left so early yesterday. I haven't seen you for almost 20 hours."So precise down to the hour.I composed myself, curving the corners of my lips. I noticed Frank's gaze fall on me again. Seeing me composed and emotionless seemed to anger him a bit.He released Lily's hand, flashed a roguish smile, and walked over to greet the two elderly ladies before lazily sitting down on the sofa opposite me.Madam Smith gave him a reproachful look. "You brat, you s

    The Lily in front of me right now was even more of a threat than Jessica.I didn’t want to get myself involved."Why don't you go do a paternity test too?""Charlotte, answer me.""Want to run away again?"The atmosphere in the hall remained superficially relaxed, while my phone kept buzzing with messages.I frowned and set Frank's chat to "Do Not Disturb."Even with Lily standing right here, he still thought I might be Lily."Ms. Wilson, you’ve just divorced and your phone is already buzzing with messages."Mrs. Shaw noticed the commotion on my side and spoke acidly, "You're quick to find a new partner."Frank clicked his tongue, clearly about to lose his temper.I didn't want to get entangled with him at this juncture. I took the initiative to speak. "Generally, it's not as fast as Bethany. I just got divorced, and she's already engaged to and broken up with my ex-husband!""You!" Mrs. Shaw glared at me viciously.She was doing it deliberately.Deliberately trying to em

    "Ahem..."Jane saw that I could handle it and didn’t want to cause me any trouble, so she had remained silent.At that moment, Frank's words made her choke.Mrs. Shaw could be sharp-tongued and nasty towards me. But towards Frank, she was mute, embarrassed, and red-faced, clearly concerned about Madam Smith's presence and not daring to act too harshly."You brat!" Even though Madam Smith usually indulged Frank, she had to maintain decorum and glared at him. "Who taught you to speak like that?""You did, Grandma." Frank seemed indifferent. "I was just bringing justice where it’s needed."Madam Smith was so angry she glared at him but had no words to retort.Everyone present could hear that Mrs. Shaw was clearly looking for trouble, and her words were excessively sharp.As the topic seemed to be shifting, the usually quiet and timid Lily said in an innocent voice, "But Frank, my mother isn't wrong either. Girls should cherish themselves and be loyal..."Jane immediately got an

    "The paternity test results are out." I felt a bit helpless.He was confident. "There must be something wrong with the paternity test. Charlotte, maybe I might mistake someone else for her."This "someone else" was clearly a reference to me.He continued in a calm tone, "But I definitely wouldn't fail to recognize her."I pressed my lips together. "That's a matter between you and the Shaw family. Frank, let's keep some distance."I really didn't want to invite trouble.With that, I avoided looking at his expression and pulled Jane into the banquet hall.Though the welcome party was organized on short notice, it was far from perfunctory.The lights were dazzling and the setting opulent, clearly a high-society affair.After taking a drink from the waiter's tray, Jane looked at me, somewhat surprised. "You've never been so ruthless before?""Come on." I smiled helplessly. "Even the dullest person learns from their mistakes. Besides, the situation now is different from before."

    Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shaw scanned the room and quickly locked eyes with Mr. Shaw, pulling him along to greet the guests.Before long, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.Ryan and Ian, walked in with Mr. and Mrs. Shaw and Bethany.Ryan was dressed in a black overcoat, his demeanor dignified and cold, his steps steady, exuding a strong aura of authority.Ian followed half a step behind Ryan, but the two looked very familiar with each other.Given what Mrs. Shaw had said earlier about the guest, it was clear to everyone present who Ryan was.Ryan was the owner of the RF Group.He was the very same Ryan who had been rejected by the Shaw family.In the blink of an eye, he was now being treated as an honored guest by the Shaw family, showing no sign of neglect.Even if they had to grit their teeth, they would have to accept it.The atmosphere was tense and unusual, with no one daring to approach and strike up a conversation easily.The members of the Shaw

    "Mrs. Shaw,"Ryan frowned slightly, his tone indifferent. "There's no need to explain the matter of the engagement."Because it was all part of his plan.Mrs. Shaw, not knowing she was genuinely confused or deliberately pretending to be confused, said, "Of course, we need to explain. As soon as you heard that Bethany was coming to pick you up, you specially came with Mr. Brown. I understand..."Ian's mouth twitched in irritation, unable to bear it any longer. He interrupted. "Your confidence is admirable, but I must interrupt you there. Mr. Frost's visit today has nothing to do with Miss Shaw at all.""How could it have nothing to do with Bethany? If Mr. Frost came to the Shaw family, it must be for Bethany. Otherwise..."Halfway through Mrs. Shaw's words, she realized something and looked over at me with a somber expression.Ryan lowered his gaze, adjusting his cufflinks, his voice was cold. "To be honest with you, Mrs. Shaw, I'm here today to pursue my wife."His voice was cl

    I paused for a moment and then said with a hint of mockery, "I never knew you had such tolerance before."That night, I had kissed Frank in front of him. Although I was drunk, it had actually happened. Given his nature, which allowed only himself to set the rules and not others, he should have ignored me from then on.As soon as my words fell, the sound that followed wasn't Ryan's voice but the commotion coming from the center of the banquet hall.Lily had changed into a pure white dress. Standing in the center with a microphone, she seemed a bit shy, but her dark eyes were fixed intensely on a certain direction.The direction where Frank was."Over these years, being away from Grandma and my parents, I... I've suffered a lot and dealt with many people's looks, but relying on the few remaining beautiful memories, I've held on."She choked up slightly and began to sob. "I'm also very lucky. My family... and Frank, have never given up on finding me. This morning, when Grandma asked

    His expression turned cold and his voice was hoarse. "The shares I gave you are for you to live a better life, not for you to use as leverage in negotiations with me.""So, Mr. Frost, is that a yes or a no?"He sneered, speaking with the utmost coldness, "Then you can try it. Whoever you sell them to, I'll make sure they suffer. If you want to harm someone, feel free to."He remained obsessively stubborn, almost to the point of being pathological. Threats were a game of who could sink lower. I couldn’t compete with him, and there was no point in saying anything more.Grinding my teeth, I went to find Jane.Jane and Ian were discussing some trivial matters. Seeing me arrive, Jane smiled at Ian. "Mr. Brown, after the New Year, when you return to Jelaston, let me treat you to a meal.""Alright." Ian nodded slightly.After greeting him, I was about to leave with Jane when Ian suddenly called out to me, "Ms. Wilson!"He hesitated before speaking, "Is your divorce with Mr. Frost rela

    Knock knock—There was a knock at the door.Zachary stood up to open it.Raymond handed him a chicken pizza.He sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and, gathering some courage, she asked, "Sir, you didn’t have anything for dinner. Should I have the hotel bring something over?"Zachary nodded and mentioned a few dishes.Raymond agreed and went to instruct the hotel.He happened to run into Ross on his way back and they chatted."I have no idea what Miss Greenwood might want. Mr. Collins doesn’t even know what he likes to eat himself, but he remembers what she likes."Ross, eating a sandwich, said, "Doesn’t Mr. Collins like roast chicken?"He remembered that when Miss Greenwood brought food to the Mr. Collins’s house last time, she had mentioned it.Raymond shot him a look. "You’re a blockhead. That’s what Miss Greenwood likes. Now, the things that Mr. Collins like are because they’re what Miss Greenwood likes."Ross blinked. "Oh."Raymond was rendered speechless.

    Jane said, "This is not something you should be doing.""I caused the injury, so I should be the one to handle it.""I'll do it myself!"Zachary held her hands, "You can't see the injury, you have long nails as well. What if you hurt yourself again? I think I should apply the medicine."Jane felt helpless."Zachary, I’ll just ask you one thing, can you understand what I’m saying?""I’ve already ordered pizza. It’ll be delivered soon."‘As expected, he doesn’t understand what I said,’ thought Jane.Jane was no match for Zachary in terms of strength or words, so she ended up crying.Zachary stopped.Jane immediately broke free from his hands and sat on the other side of the bed."Do you only feel happy when you see me in pain?"Zachary pursed his lips. "No.""Then why do you insist on forcing me to do things I don't want to do? I’m a person, not some item that you can do whatever you want to.""Is that how you see me?" Zachary looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly. "I l

    "I was just handling some matters, but I can't tell you. Please understand."Jane seemed to believe him and nodded. "I see."Raymond also nodded. "That's right."Jane smiled. "You were handling matters, but what about the others?""They also have their own matters to deal with.""So..." Jane’s gaze suddenly became sharp. "You all went off to work, but there's no one guarding the hotel entrance? Aren’t you worried that while he’s in bed with me, his enemies might come and kill him? After all, the bed is when a man is most vulnerable. You’re a man, so you should understand that, right?"For a moment, Raymond seemed distracted, as if he had seen his Mr. Collins casually asking him what mistake he had made.Then, with a cold tone, he would be sent off to Afrealia, just like Roy.The more you say, the more mistakes you make. He stopped explaining and simply said."Miss Greenwood, it’s not safe outside. You should stay in the hotel and wait for Mr. Collins."Jane didn’t believe the

    He placed the pillow behind her waist and asked gently, "What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it."Jane glared at him and said, "Get out!"Zachary took her hand and said, "There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me."Jane pulled her hand back and replied coldly, "You’re really sick.""Yes, and you’re the reason I”m sick."Jane raised her hand, intending to hit him. "Get out!"Zachary grabbed her wrist and smiled.Jane felt that he was seriously ill and decided it was better to just leave.But as soon as she lifted the blanket, a cold wind blew, and she quickly pulled it back up."Turn around!"Her teeth were clenched in anger, wishing she could bite him.Zachary's gaze slid over her body. "What are you hiding?""I..."Jane covered his mouth. "Don’t be such a pervert."Zachary held her hand. "The banquet tomorrow has to do with the purpose of your trip. Are you really not going?""How do you know what I came here for?"Zachary didn’t answer, just looked at he

    Annie saw the red marks on his neck as he moved.There was also a bite mark on his Adam's apple.Both marks told her of the wildness he had shared with Jane just moments ago.The thing she feared most had happened."And not even a day apart," Zachary said again, his voice was cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine.Annie met his sharp gaze, instinctively taking a step back.But then she felt it was wrong and moved forward to stand in front of him."What are you saying? I don’t understand," she said, reaching out to grab his arm.Zachary turned sideways to avoid her, and Ross immediately restrained Annie, kicking her in the knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground."Zachary!"Annie had never been so humiliated before.Since childhood, everyone had always revolved around her.She was given everything she wanted.Without speaking, people would rush to her, handing her things that were close to her heart.Zachary was no different, he had been delivered to her by her

    "I had wanted to repay you before, but you refused. Turns out, you were saving it for such a situation. Zachary, is it fun to fool me around?"Zachary lifted his head, and his dark eyes were filled with deep desire.He had been restraining himself, and the veins on his arm were bulging.But this time, he wanted to ask her for a favor."Am I really so unworthy in your eyes?"It wasn’t that he was completely unacceptable, but after all, he had previously forced her against her will."You can’t have lost contact with your subordinates.""Nelana isn’t my turf. There are people here who don’t want me here."As for his business matters, Jane didn’t want to know or analyze anything.She simply said, "Anyway, I’m not suited to help you solve the current problem. If you want, you can get some cold water, and I’ll go buy some medicine for you."The corners of Zachary’s eyes drooped slightly, and he looked almost pitiful."Is it really that hard to help me?"Jane nodded. "I think we’r

    Before Jane finished speaking, she watched as Zachary slowly stood up on his own.But then he suddenly leaned towards her.She quickly held him up.Zachary rested his head on her shoulder, his breath hot and heavy against her neck, so hot it felt alarming."Wait, weren't the people around you supposed to be sticking with you at all times? How did you end up like this, all alone?"She heard the man's voice, weak and faint."Take me back to the hotel..."Jane was really at her wit's end.He didn't even tell her the name of the hotel. How was she supposed to know where to take him?In the end, with no other choice, she reached into his pocket to find his phone.She searched both side pockets of his pants, but there was no phone.He was only wearing a white shirt, no coat.That meant his phone wasn't on him.No wonder he hadn't contacted his subordinates.But that didn't make sense either—his subordinates were supposed to be with him at all times.Before she could figure it

    "People are really into these things now. I often see them on live streams," said Jane.Dominic poured her a cup of barley tea. "The houses people want aren’t just any ordinary houses."Jane knew buying a house wasn't easy. It had taken her some time to secure her little place.If it weren't for Charlotte helping her out, she probably wouldn't have gotten it so quickly."Don’t worry. If I like what I see this time, when I go back and combine it with our brand, we'll promote it. You’ll be able to make money and buy a house.""That sounds good. I know how influential your brand is."The two of them chatted happily in the private room.In the room next door, however, the atmosphere was cold and tense.Annie, seemingly unaware, picked up some food for Zachary and even peeled an apple for him."I grew up in Nelana. I have lung issues, so I’m not really suited to Jeswood’s weather.""This restaurant has been around for almost 100 years. It’s a Nelana specialty. Try this, the apples

    At the hospital.After confirming that everything was fine, Zachary immediately went to the airport.Frank glanced at the time. "Leaving overnight?"Zachary nodded, a look of exhaustion between his brows.Frank took Charlotte and left the hospital with him, only to see two cars.He asked, "Is Annie going with you?"Zachary nodded again.Frank was confused. "What kind of game is this?""Let's go."Zachary didn't answer, opened the car door, and bent down to sit inside.After the two cars drove off, Charlotte asked, "Last night, did you interfere too much?"Frank touched his chin. "I shouldn't have...""Shouldn't have what?""Can't I tell who he likes?"The two of them went home to pack and then went to their respective companies.Charlotte noticed that Jane's dark circles under her eyes couldn't even be covered by foundation. She asked, "Did you go clubbing last night?"Jane shook her head. "I couldn't sleep, maybe the jet lag still hasn't passed."Charlotte immediately
