Chapter 188
A third party, and now a fourth party was being cursed at.
Never did I expect that just as I burst into laughter, a stifled chuckle echoed not far behind me.

Startled, I turned around and met a somewhat carefree and unruly face, with a hint of roguishness at the comers of his lips. He wore a leather jacket and casually leaned against the wall. âMrs. Frost has quite unique tastes.â
Caught eavesdropping, I felt a bit guilty, but then dissipated it with a thought. âArenât you the same?â
âI didnât want to interrupt your enjoyment.â
âWell, youâve interrupted it now.â
I retorted, glancing at him. âWho are you, and how do you know about me?â
âFrank Smith.â He told me his full name, abandoning his nonchalant demeanor and straightened up. âMrs. Frost, goodbye.â
With that said, he walked away, grabbed the bun of the wealthy heiress, and sarcastically remarked, Bethany, with your intelligence so dim that you canât even distinguish who the real Mrs. Frost is, you can forget about being a mistress.â
Bethany frowned deeply. âFranky! What do you mean?â
âIf you call me that disgusting nickname again, Iâll send you back overnight.â
Frank let her go, gave me a meaningful glance, and just when I thought he was going to reveal the truth to his âdear sister,â he clapped his hands. âI meant that youâre stupid.â
I was somewhat surprised.
I ran through my mind of the sons of affluent families in Jelaston, and indeed, there was no one like him.
However⦠to be able to dress so casually at Mrs. Renoldsâs 80th birthday party, and to be so calm in such gatherings, he definitely couldnât be an ordinary person.
While I was thinking, my phone rang.
âWhere are you?â
Ryanâs indifferent voice came from the other end.
I smirked. âIâm here in the restroom on the first floor, just finished watching your fourth party confront the third party. Theyâre both your mistresses.â
âWhat fourth party and third party? What nonsense are you talking about? Iâm coming to find you!â
With that said, Ryanâs tone grew even colder, and soon enough, he found his way to me.
I sighed regretfully. âYou called too late, they just finished. Otherwise, you could have defended your Hoved one.â

âCharlotte.â He frowned, scrutinizing me intensely as if trying to read some emotion from my face, but ultimately left disappointed. âIs that⦠all you have to say?â

That sentence still made me feel upset.
It wasnât because of him, but because of myself.
In more than three years of marriage, the countless nights we had spent together, he had left me behind countless times for Jessica, including the moment when our child died.
Those heartâwrenching sorrows that pierced me. I had to go through all of that myself.
How could I not feel upset, not feel disappointed when he asked me such a question faceâtoâface?
d my
I emotions, lightly squeezing my palms, and gave a faint smile. âYeah, weâre about to get divorced soon anyway, so what else is there to pretend about?â
âYou really have a clear view of yourself!â He gritted his teeth after saying this, gripping my wrist. âCome with me to congratulate Mrs. Renolds on her birthday.
âOkay,â I agreed indifferently.
Anyway, thereâs no need to wait any longer. It doesnât hurt to go through these formalities with him.
Perhaps knowing some of Jackâs experiences in the Renolds family, I wasnât enthusiastic when congratulating Mrs. Renolds. I simply offered a few words of good wishes.
Ryan noticed I was unhappy. After delivering the birthday gifts, he took me back to the hall.
He saw through it with one glance, sneering coldly. âFeeling sorry for him because of his experiences in the Renolds family?â
âIs that not allowed?â I asked.
Maybe it was because my child was gone, I didnât have any desires either. Since I had nothing to worry about, I didnât need to consider the consequences of my actions.
Ryanâs eyes were cold and sharp, his lips curved in a cold arc. âHeâs going to marry Bethany, the daughter of the Shaw family. Do you think thereâs still a chance between you two?â
âBethany?â
The name sounded familiar to me. I quickly remembered and scanned the crowd, pointing in the direction where Bethany was. âYou mean her?â
