Frank had once again become the flamboyant and unpredictable Mr. Smith just like before.

Meanwhile, Ryan had used his connections to find a reclusive traditional medicine expert, who came out of retirement to check Grandma's pulse and attempt to totally cure her. Grandma's coma was related to the poison affecting her heart and the emergency treatment at the hospital only addressed the symptoms, not the cause.

That day, after the company gathering, Megan seemed to intentionally lag behind the other employees, walking beside me with great caution. She then asked cautiously, "Charlotte, did you ever like my brother?"

I knew she was inquiring on behalf of Frank.

But Mr. Smith had warned me over the phone yesterday.

I smiled and said, "No, never."

"What do you mean never?"

Ryan walked over and stood tall in front of me. "Honey, I'm here to pick you up."

Lately, he had been acting like the perfect gentleman.

He had returned to his role of a devoted husband.

    My head buzzed for a moment and my mind went blank.Although Frank seemed disorganized, he was actually very measured and strategic in everything he did. The fact that Megan was in a panic meant that it was likely a major issue.I quickly turned around and looked at Jane, who had followed me out and looked anxious. "Jane, what happened? You know, don't you?"Her behavior had been off when she entered my office earlier. Now it seemed clear she was hiding the news about Frank."Charlotte..."Jane licked her lips, looking uncertain about whether she should speak.The more hesitant she was, the more scared I became.I grabbed her arm. "Tell me, Jane, I'm begging you, please tell me..."She was still hesitating.I knew she was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it."If you don't tell me, I'll ask someone else." I picked up my phone and started dialing as I headed outside. "If no one tells me, I'll go to Jeswood myself to find out."Megan didn't answer the phone.I tried calling

    I had never seen him before. But I had heard Ryan speak with him on the phone twice. They seemed to have a life-and-death friendship, and Ryan trusted him and Ian."Alright, do as you wish." I nodded thoughtfully. "We should go and get the divorce certificate the day after tomorrow. Please remember to arrange the time."His dark eyes flickered, and he gave a self-deprecating smile with a hint of bitterness. "Are you counting the days until you're done with me?""Something like that," I answered without hesitation.Ryan's long lashes cast shadows over his eyes, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line. "Fine, I'll do as you say.""It's not about doing as I say." I corrected him. "Ryan, this is something we've already agreed on. There's no such thing as one side following the other."He looked at me quietly, and after a short pause, he sighed. "Was I always like this in front of you?""Like what? Do you mean indifferent, perfunctory, or hypocritical?" I took a sip of co

    Something wasn’t right. I wasn’t going to believe in such coincidences.I grabbed the car keys and was about to leave when Ryan grabbed my wrist. "Where are you going? I'll take you.""To somewhere with a signal."Before I went out, I looked at him. "What's going on with that live broadcast from earlier in the afternoon? Why can't I find any records online?"Ryan's eyes flashed for a moment. "Many live broadcasts won’t be replayed.""Impossible."Previously, when Frank attended a public event, his video was edited and shared by many girls. For this live broadcast, not even a single clip could be found online.It was as if it had never been broadcasted.I suddenly realized something, and my fingertips began trembling. "Ryan, that live broadcast was fake, right? Something really happened to Frank, didn't it?""Charlotte...""Don't call me that. Just answer me!" I backed away, unable to control my voice as I demanded, "Why are you lying to me? Why didn't you tell me if something

    Before he could finish speaking, the phone slipped from my hand.My hands were trembling uncontrollably as I stood by the window for a long time, until Ryan left and the Rolls-Royce drove out of the Frost family's residence.I watched until the taillights disappeared from view.After 20 minutes, I finally opened the bedside drawer, took out a fruit knife, and made a cut on my wrist.The blood was warm and glaring.But not deep, so I wouldn't die.I walked out barefoot, twisted open the door, and went downstairs. Albert came over. "Mrs. Frost, Mr. Frost instructed..."He was startled by the blood oozing out of my wrist."Albert, I don't want to make things difficult for you."I seemed to feel no pain, grabbing my car keys. "Let those bodyguards let me out, or else, Ryan will come back and only find a corpse."Albert's eyes were full of concern as he followed me to the car and hurriedly opened the door. "Why are you doing this... Ryan only means well...""Mean well?" I sat dow

    Holding the phone, my thoughts were inexplicably drawn back to a time long ago.Some fragments, both unfamiliar and familiar, surged into my memory."Frank! You clearly said you'd come to my house for breakfast today, but you overslept again!""Frank, it hurts so much! Quick, carry me!""Frank, they all say we have an engagement. What is an engagement?""Frank, pick that one, the big orange!""Frank...""Do you even have any sense? Is arriving exactly on time considered late?""Who told you to run so fast? Get on.""It means I will marry you.""I know, I know, little princess.""Lily! Do you have any manners? You should show me, your brother, more respect!"I was sobbing uncontrollably. "Frank, I don't have a grandpa anymore. Grandma said everyone will leave, and no one can stay with Lily forever."He patiently comforted me. "I will, Lily. I'll be with you forever."I blinked my eyes. "Frank, you're like a gentleman today."He arrogantly raised his chin and corrected me

    "And actually, I support your staying in Frankes," he said.I pursed my lips slightly. "Why?""I have a friend in Frankes who is a top psychology expert. Charlotte, she can definitely help cure your depression.""Jack, I told you, the medicine belongs to Jane..."I didn't want to admit it.Jack reached out and touched the fresh scar on my wrist. "First you slit your wrists, then you ran into the lake. Clearly, you don't value your life and have no desire to live. You still want to hide this from me?""I..." I turned my head to look out the window. "I don't even know what's going on..."I couldn't control my thoughts.Even my own body was beyond my control.Actually, there had been signs of this a long time ago.It just became more obvious during the month after returning from Jeswood to Jelaston.It was Jane who noticed the problem and forcibly took me to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with severe depression.If it hadn't been for needing to confirm Frank's situation i

    Two years later, Jelaston Airport.I stepped out in flat shoes, pushing my suitcase, and was greeted with a big hug from Jane."Ms. Wilson, you’ve finally decided to come back?""Are you trying to strangle me?"I smiled wryly. "I just missed you, so I came back."Jane actually visited me in Frankes whenever she had time. The last time we met was only two weeks ago.On the way home, while driving, she said, "During the period when you first went missing, Ryan was like a madman. He couldn't believe you had just vanished into thin air. He almost wanted to dig up all of Jelaston and drain the lake."I smiled. "You've mentioned this many times.""I'm just saying." Jane sighed. "But Ryan and Jack kept it under wraps. Very few people knew you were in trouble."Aside from Jane and Jack, everyone else thought I was still by Ryan's side, living comfortably as Mrs. Frost.And Megan, not long after Frank's accident, returned to the Smith Group, fighting for power with that illegitimate s

    "Yep, guess who?""The popular young star recently?""No, no, think bolder.""Bolder?""Yasmin Jackson!""What?"I was taken aback, "Jane, you've managed to network into that circle now?"Yasmin Jackson, one of the four top actresses in the entertainment industry. She became over 20 years ago. Her family background was quite impressive, but no one has dug up anything substantial over the years. Some say it was either fake news or her background was so extraordinary that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to find anything.After taking a break from acting a few years ago and moving behind the scenes, she had become a significant player in the entertainment industry. Every appearance she made was as talked-about as any top celebrity."This isn't my connections." Jane shook her head, laughing. "It was Yasmin who saw the dress you designed for last month's fashion week and liked it. She had her agent contact me, asking if I could make an exception and reserve a private custom slot f

    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
