After hearing what I said, he sneered..

What followed was an overwhelming rage from the man. His jaw tightened, voice as cold as ice. âSo, went to such lengths to film this kind of thing just to threaten me into divorcing you?â
I retorted, âWhat else could it be?â
you
Could it possibly be to make him see Jessica clearly and return to this broken and miserable marriage of ours?
That was too farâfetched.
He brimmed with fury, gritting his teeth. âCharlotte, are you
sure you want
a divorce?â
âYes,â I said without a hint of hesitation.
A dark cloud overshadowed his face. âAnd what if I donât agree?â
I stood my ground. âThen Iâll let everyone see this video.â
1 was absolutely certain. Given Ryanâs character, he would never allow this thing to be exposed. It would not only be embarrassing but also affect the Frost familyâs stocks, causing turmoil.
On a small scale, it was private, but on a larger scale, it was a scandal for an affluent family.
Veins bulging on his forehead, Ryan clenched his fists tightly, teeth grinding as he spat out, âGet out.â
I ignored his fury. âI hope the sooner, the better.â
His dark eyes stared at me. âGet out!!â
âOkay,â I responded and swiftly got out of the car. Before closing the car door, I set a time. âMr. Frost, how about tomorrow then? Otherwise, Iâm afraid I might accidentally post it online when Iâm in a bad mood.â
Just before he could speak with fury, I closed the car door quickly and walked away!
I hadnât taken two steps when I realized I had forgotten to take my coat, feeling extremely cold.
When I turned back to retrieve it, the black Maybach had already sped away.
Seeing that Jack had not yet replied to my WhatsApp, I knew he was still busy. So, I found a sheltered place and called a for a taxi service on my phone.
With guests still lingering, while waiting for the car, I tilted my head and unexpectedly bumped into Frank.
He had been personally escorted out by Mrs. Renolds.
While he had readily agreed in the backyard, now that had calmed down, I didnât know if he was serious about his promise.
The main thing was, he always gave off an air of casualness, as if everything was just a casual remark.
Seeming to have seen through my thoughts, he gestured from afar while dealing with Mrs. Renolds, spelling out with his lips. âDonât suspect your teammate.â
âHeâd better be trustworthy.â

Feeling a slight relief, I got into the car. Shortly after, Jack called.
âCharlotte, have you arrived home?â
He sounded apologetic. âI was delayed by something at the last minute. I just saw your message.â
âAlmost home.â
âAre you⦠leaving with Ryan?â
âNo.â
Even though it was a call, I instinctively shook my head. âI took a cab.â
He hesitated for a moment, then finally said, âLet me know when you get home.â
His tone was lighter than before.
âOkay,â I agreed. I couldnât help but ask, âJack, why did you say the thing you want to give me is âreturning to the original ownerâ?â
âItâs confidential for now.â His voice carried a hint of amusement. âWhen I have time in the next couple of days, Iâll bring it over. Youâll like it.â
Back at the Lake Garden, recalling my conversation with Ryan in the car, I felt much more relaxed.
It was as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted from my heart,
After showering, when I wanted to make some sandwiches, Jane suddenly appeared in my living room, slouching on the sofa, staring at me in a daze.
I poured a glass of water and handed it to her. âHave you been drinking? Why didnât you let me pick you up?â
âI called for a designated driver.â She smiled foolishly at me, obediently drinking the water. âCharlotte, I want to stay at your place for a few days.â
