Chapter 216
I walked over and saw the lewd scene on his phone screen, immediately turning to leave!
What he showed me was the video from that night of Jessica and John.
âWhatâs the rush?â
He stretched out his long legs, blocking my path, and pulled back on the progress bar.
The video screen turned pitch black, but I could hear voices.
And it was a voice I knew very well.
âCan you keep this to yourself for now?â
âI can. Whatâs in it for me?â
âWhat do you want in return?â
âI havenât decided yet. How about this. You promise me something. When I figure it out, Iâll let you know.â
âDeal.â
After hearing this conversation, I looked up at him in shock and disbelief. âYou actually recorded it?â
It seemed like there was no order to things, but when it came to doing things, there were no holes at
all.
âJust happened to catch it.â He chuckled softly, unabashed and arrogant. âDoes this count as evidence?â
âYouâre ruthless.â I was somewhat speechless, and my tone wasnât nice. âSpit it out. What do you want?â
Could it be that he wanted me to hurry up and divorce Ryan?
That would be a blessing in disguise for me.
âThereâs a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, and I need a female companion.â
âHuh?â I had no interest in banquets and the like right now. âCan I not go?â
âWhat do you think?â
âGot it.â
Iâll go just this once,â I said inwardly.
After saying that, I was about to turn around and go home when the elevator suddenly opened. Jane
saw me and strode over, glancing at Frank, somewhat amazed. âOh, you have friends here?â
With that, she was about to hook her arm through mine and enter Frankâs house.
âThis is his place. My place is on the other side.â

I grabbed her arm and led her in the direction of my house.
Jane whispered, âOh, so he isâ¦â
âHeâs the one who caused my divorce not to happen.â I didnât lower my voice, intentionally saying it loud enough for Frank to hear.
Delaying my affairs, and now still making demands on me.
Only someone like him, standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, would have such audacity.
Jane chuckled upon hearing this. âSo heâs the one I want to treat a meal to?â
âHe doesnât need you to treat him to a meal.â
According to Jack, families like the Smith family could afford anything. If we really treated him to dinner, both Jane and I probably couldnât afford it.
âWho said?â Unexpectedly, Mr. Smith was very straightforward. âIâm very available. When are you planning to treat me?â
Jane turned back to him with a casual smile. âWhenever youâre free. You just have to tell Charlotte.â âOkay, noted.â
Frankâs tone was casual, yet he agreed decisively.
As soon as we entered the house, I closed the door behind us and looked at Jane. Just as I was abouty to ask her why she was picking a fight with me, she gave me a suggestive look.
âWho is this guy? Heâs gorgeous! This kind of bold and unrestrained attitude is most attractive to young girls!â
âDid it attract you?â I asked with a smile.
Jane shrugged. âNope. After meeting Tom, Iâve turned over a new leaf and decided to like mature and stable men from now on. He isnât my type. I canât handle it.â
âThatâs good.â
With Frankâs family background, if Jane really fell for him, she would only end up losing again.
There was a wall between us and the wealthy, let alone Frank.
Dealing with him was no different from dealing with ants.
Curious, Jane pressed on. âSo who is he exactly?â
