Chapter 38

Author: Lean
Her words almost caused me to explode with anger.

Ryan had spoiled her so much that she had no shame whatsoever.

I curved my lips into a sneer and said, "Are you a member of the Frost family? Last time I remember, your dad had to beg Grandpa to allow you to have Frost as your surname. I don’t think you’re accepted into the Frost family since Grandpa hasn’t given the word yet. According to you, then I have more reason to say that this car belongs to me, because I am Ryan's lawfully wedded wife."

I spoke deliberately, watching her expression change bit by bit, and a sense of satisfaction surged within me.

Jessica gritted her teeth. "The two of you are getting divorced soon!"

"But we’re not divorced just yet, are we? As long as we're still married, I have more right to claim ownership of this car than you." I smirked.

"You have no shame!" She was furious as she glared at me fiercely. "If you’re going to divorce him then do it already! Why the hell are you still married to Ryan then?

Charlotte should tell Rya. that he can have her and Jessica. Tell him he needs to sign the divorce papers so she can find someone who only cares for her.

At first, when he came to her new home and acted all vulnerable among her friends - I thought she should give him one more chance but now I'm glad she didn't. His actions scream than all he cares about is Jessica.

    I was rendered speechless.He was indeed good at putting the blame on others.I wanted to laugh but the pain on my face prevented me from doing so. "Did you even give me a chance to explain things just now?"Ryan would always become desperate about anything that was related to Jessica."Charlotte...""Alright, your 'sister' is still waiting for you in your car."I didn't want to say anything more to him, so I cut him off and got back into my car.As I closed the door, he grabbed the door handle. "Cover up the mark on your face, don't let Grandpa find out about what happened. Otherwise, he'll definitely..."Each word felt like a dagger to the heart. The pain was excruciating.I didn't have the courage to continue listening, so I slammed the door to prevent myself from hearing any more of what he was saying.Tears welled up in my eyes, I turned my face away hastily, so that he couldn't see the state of me.It was me who had been hit, yet he was worried about Jessica getting in

    I smiled and found a seat, picking up the teacup the servant had just brought, and took a sip.The tea was fresh and the fragrance filled the air. It tasted soft and sweet.I smiled. "Grandpa always thinks of us whenever there's something good.""No wonder the old man favors you. You have such a sweet mouth!" Aunt Chloe chuckled.I smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.After chatting for a while, Albert came to invite everyone to the dining table.The seats for the family banquet had been arranged in advance.Grandpa sat in the main seat, with Uncle Luke, Aunt Chloe, and their daughter sitting respectively to his right.On the left were Ryan who had taken over the Frost family, myself, my father-in-law, and Jessica.Everyone's status in the family was clear at one glance.There was nothing Jessica could do even if she wasn't happy with the arrangement.She could make things difficult for me in other places, but at the Frost family's residence, she wouldn't dare do any

    "Okay."I sat down beside him and met Grandpa's sharp and clear gaze. It was making me feel increasingly uneasy.In the spacious study, there was only Grandpa, me, and Albert, who was making tea at the side.As expected, Grandpa knew everything. "Are you still going to get divorced?"I didn't know what to say. I felt completely hopeless.There was no use hiding my pregnancy anymore. "Yes... How did you know?"Grandpa sighed, but he wasn't angry about being deceived. "You're independent and stubborn. You might make it seem that you don't really care about him, but have you ever taken your eyes off him before? Today was different, you didn't even give him a glance."There was a hint of regret in Grandpa's voice.After hearing those words, I choked and was at a loss for words.Yes, one couldn't hide one's feelings for someone, even if one cover one's mouth, their feelings could be seen through their eyes.Even Grandpa could see my feelings clearly, but Ryan still thought I liked

    "It's exactly what you see in front of you." Grandpa's voice carried a trace of sorrow and regret. "It's our fault. It's the Frost family's fault for Wendy's tragedy. It's my fault that I've not been able to properly discipline my own son."My late mother-in-law had a beautiful name, Wendy Lawson. After hearing Grandpa's words, I was completely dumbstruck. It turned out, my mother-in-law didn't die from hard labor. She was pushed down the stairs when she was in her final weeks of pregnancy.The person who pushed her was none other than Ryan's stepmother, who treated him as her own, and ironically ended up in a coma in an attempt to save him. My mind was in turmoil. How could she treat Ryan so well and yet be the one who killed his biological mother? It didn't make sense at all.Before I could sort everything out in my head, Grandpa continued, "I don't understand why she could be so good to Ryan.""It's all..." Grandpa sneered. "It's all about personal interests.""After Ryan's

    Now that Grandpa had asked me for a favor, I had no reason to turn him down. Ryan and I were already separated, and a divorce certificate would only make our division clearer. There was no rush for us to get a divorce agreement.Moreover, Grandpa's 80th birthday was just a month away. There wasn’t much time left at all.Later, Albert escorted me out of the study."Mr. William did this because he's worried that you and Mr. Frost will regret your decisions in the future. He wants you both to think things through a little longer."I pursed my lips and was about to speak when my phone rang.It was an unknown landline."Hello, is this a relative of Jane?""Yes.""This is Jelaston Police Station. Please come over as soon as possible."Before I could ask anything, they hung up.With no time to spare, I hurried downstairs. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Jessica fuming with anger."You've gone over the line!" she exclaimed, moving to slap me, but I stopped her.

    In public, Ryan maintained his usual aloof demeanor.The black trench coat added to his domineering aura.As he approached step by step, I suddenly felt uneasy.This matter could be big or small.Small, it could be settled with money. But big...With Ryan's power in Jelaston, it would be as easy as flipping a hand to make Jane go to jail.And undoubtedly, he would protect Jessica.As expected, he stood beside Jessica. His eyes were slightly lowered, lips lightly parted. "How do you want to deal with this?"I clenched my fists and before Jessica could speak, Jane pulled me behind her."I'll take full responsibility. This has nothing to do with Charlotte.""Jane!"I was anxious, but Jane glanced at me, and said disdainfully, "How are you going to deal with this? Beg your ex-husband publicly for my sake or beg the mistress who’s wrecking your marriage?"Before she finished, the atmosphere in the room became even more tense.Jessica sneered. "Who are you calling a mistress? Ac

    "If it weren't for my stubbornness back then, you wouldn't have had to endure this humiliation."Jane rolled her eyes after hearing those words. If I hadn't pulled her away, she would have stormed back to argue. It was raining and the wind was strong. This caused the temperature to drop significantly. It was so cold that it could make anyone hunch their shoulders.Once inside the car, Jane fumed, "Why did you pull me away? Didn't you hear what she said? Damn it, what a stupid fool. Where was she during human evolution?""I heard."I started the car and started driving. "Ryan is unpredictable. I just want to leave before he changes his mind."There was no need to be angry with Jessica."Aren't you angry?" she asked."Not really."It was more accurate to say I was used to it.At this hour, nightlife in Jelaston was just beginning. The streets were busy and congested with people.It was stop-and-go all the way.Suddenly, Jane smiled slyly and leaned over, blinking at me. "Did

    'Moving house?' I repeated inwardly.My heart skipped a beat.At that moment, I found it a little hard to calm myself down.I took a deep breath. "Move here? I didn't agree to that.""Grandpa said you promised him that you'll postpone the divorce."He played the bummer and handed me his phone. "Do you want to talk to Grandpa?""You have no shame." I couldn't help but glare at him. "Agreeing to postpone the divorce doesn't I agree to you moving in with me."I couldn't believe that the CEO of the Frost Group would be so shameless.No one would believe in such a sight."It's normal for husband and wife to live together," he said matter-of-factly."Excuses, excuses," I said as I opened the door and walked into the house.He followed me in as if it was his house as well.I thought of what Grandpa told me that night and felt sorry for Ryan, so I decided not to drive him away.I reached out and pointed to a room opposite the master bedroom. "You can stay in that room.""Okay." H

    It was Lewis who had taken her to her room."Sorry, Ms. Hickey, the evening was lively, and Jasmine also had a couple of drinks."He emphasized, "She only had two drinks to join in the fun. We didn't force her to drink, and let her throw up."Jordan helped Jasmine to the bed and thanked Lewis.Lewis hurriedly said, "There’s no need. It's what I should do. Jasmine went out with us, so we had to ensure her safety.""Please rest now."Jordan nodded, thanked him again, and closed the door to her room.She asked Jasmine, "Can you wash up by yourself?""Yes, I can," Jasmine replied as she walked into the bathroom. "Ms. Hickey, I didn't drink too much.""I'm still very clear-headed."Jordan said, "Girls should always protect themselves when they're out. If you can avoid drinking, it's better not to drink.""Today I was just happy to meet my idol. I don't usually drink much.""I understand."After Jordan finished her work and had washed up, she climbed into bed and started looking

    "I'll be honest with you, but don't get angry."As soon as Jane heard this, she understood.She proposed a hypothesis. "If he were diagnosed with a mental illness, could he be considered legally incompetent?"Zachary placed some food on her plate and said in a negotiating tone, "Can we... just let them handle it themselves?"Jane refused to eat the food. "Westley has already committed a crime. Are you suggesting that I let my own sister suffer harm and let her handle the issue with a criminal?""That's not what I meant...""You're still siding with Westley. Well, of course, she's not your biological sister, so how could you possibly care?"Zachary realized that the more he spoke, the worse it got.He had never intended to interfere in Westley's affairs.Who could have predicted that Jordan would turn out to be Jane's biological sister?Or that he would end up marrying Jane?"We promised to be honest with each other."Zachary sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, Westley

    Ameca was huge.How could they run into each other like this?Jane asked again, "How many days will you be staying?"She had only received a message from Jordan saying she had landed safely for an overseas shoot.Other than that, Jordan hadn't mentioned much, and Jane hadn't asked.After all, it was her personal job—there was no need to interfere too much.But thinking about it now, she should've asked more questions.Jordan replied, "Three days. Today's shoot is almost over, so there are two more days left.""Alright, let me know when you're coming back. I'll pick you up.""No need to trouble yourself. I won't get lost. Just take care of yourself, rest well, and don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."Jane trusted Jordan's ability to manage her own life.Even before they had reunited as sisters, she had looked into Jordan's background and knew how she had made her way through life.But she didn't understand Westley, nor could she control him.He was a dangerous

    Jordan only glanced indifferently for less than five seconds before continuing with the shoot.Jasmine also saw Westley, but her impression of him was just average now.Although she liked forced love in games or novels, in reality, it was truly terrifying.There were still scars on Jordan's wrist that hadn't completely faded.Yesterday, she had heard from Jane about what Westley had done, which made her even angrier.Being handsome, rich, and powerful—did that make him so special?Well... it did...Jordan had no idea what Jasmine was thinking. She only saw her standing there, kicking at the ground, muttering something under her breath.She looked quite upset.Jordan found it amusing.She wasn't even angry herself."Jasmine, come hold the reflector."Jasmine came back to her senses and hurried over.Not far away, Connie had been observing Westley's expression closely.He was trying to analyze his emotions.He even took out a notepad and started jotting things down.Roy s

    "I think yesterday's time spent in nature was effective."Connie didn't care whether Roy responded or not and began making arrangements on his own.Roy followed them to a church.Unfortunately, a film was being shot there, and the place was surrounded.Not only that, but there were also a lot of fans.Amid their screams, he heard a familiar name—Michael.‘Damn.’He looked closely and saw that the banners the fans were holding had Michael's photo on them.This was truly a case of enemies crossing paths."I really didn't expect there to be a film shoot happening here."Connie said regretfully, "But this is the most famous church around."Roy didn't understand how coming to a church would help with treatment.The only thing he could do was find a way to get Connie to bring Westley inside."Mr. Howard, I'll handle it."Westley gave a slight nod.Roy went to negotiate.He quickly returned and led Westley and Connie inside.He couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Connie, why insist o

    When Jordan landed, she received a message from Yasmin.Yasmin informed her that someone had been arranged to pick her up and sent her the contact details.She was instructed to reach out after leaving the airport and head straight to the film site."Okay."After replying, Jordan called the contact.Following the directions given, she quickly found the person."Ms. Hickey."The man opened the car door and introduced himself, "I'm Mr. Hall's assistant. Just call me Lewis."Jordan found the name somewhat familiar.Meanwhile, Jasmine grabbed her arm excitedly."It's Michael Hall! I'm a huge fan of his! He's one of the men in that game I play! They modeled one of the characters after his face—he's so handsome!"Jordan had heard of Michael Hall before.Because of Jane, there had once been some gossip about him.But work was work—nothing personal.However, the content of this shoot would be displayed on a large screen later.She wasn't sure if it would be shown in Jeswood, but

    "Besides, I didn't even download that game."She hadn't even seen clearly what it was.Zachary rested his chin on her shoulder, his nose brushing against her neck as he took in her scent.His deep, attractive voice carried a hint of grievance. "I feel like you've been upset with me lately, acting cold and distant. And now, seeing how you wanted to look at other men today, I suppose you're tired of me, huh? You were even reminiscing about the past. So, I robbed you of the chance to enjoy being surrounded by admirers, is that it? Honey, am I not good enough for you? You're actually thinking about other men?""Huh?" Jane was so amused she laughed. "Maybe you should go get your brain checked at the hospital."Zachary hummed in agreement. "I probably should. If they scan it, I'm sure it'll just be filled with your name—completely love-struck."Jane burst out laughing. She turned her head and kissed his thin lips.Zachary took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.The driver silently r

    Jane asked Jasmine, "How do you play this game? I want to try it too.""They say that looking at handsome men more often will result in having handsome children. That way, my son will be worthy of becoming Charlotte's son-in-law."Jasmine loved sharing this kind of fun with others, but Jordan secretly poked her.Jordan knew the tempers of Zachary and Frank.Even if it was just men in an otome game, her sister and Charlotte couldn't look at them too much.Since Jasmine was her assistant, she had to protect her."You can play this game by yourself. My sister doesn't need it. My brother-in-law is so handsome, and my sister is so beautiful. Their children will definitely be better looking than these game models."Jordan had already hinted crazily, blinking so much that her eyes were about to wear out."Oh my!" Jordan exaggerated her actions. "My eyes feel so uncomfortable today."Jane and Charlotte exchanged glances and burst into laughter.Jane turned to Charlotte and said, "Isn

    It was nothing more than him giving Jane an explanation by sending Westley abroad.And Westley knew that he had been too harsh with Jordan this time, so he went to reflect on what he had done.After landing, Charlotte came to pick them up.Jasmine blended in quickly, and the four girls immediately made plans to have a meal together.Frank and Zachary walked behind. The former's steps were lazy.Frank asked Zachary, "Did Carter ask you for help?"Zachary asked in return, "Did he ask you as well?"Frank clicked his tongue. "Last time, my wife made clothes for Mrs. Scholfield, and she really liked them. She has a very good relationship with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hilton family.""You could say, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hilton family is Mrs. Scholfield's little fan. She listens to and supports whatever Mrs. Scholfield says.""Since it didn't work on you, she's trying to make moves through me."Zachary's voice remained steady. "I advise you not to get involved.
