“Mrs. Shaw,”

Ryan frowned slightly, his tone indifferent. “There’s no need to explain the matter of the engagement.”

Because it was all part of his plan.

Mrs. Shaw, not knowing she was genuinely confused or deliberately pretending to be confused, said, “Of course, we need to explain. As soon as you heard that Bethany was coming to pick you up, you specially came with Mr. Brown. I understand…‘

lan’s mouth twitched in irritation, unable to bear it any longer. He interrupted. “Your confidence is admirable, but I must interrupt you there. Mr. Frost’s visit today has nothing to do with Miss Shaw at all.”

“How could it have nothing to do with Bethany? If Mr. Frost came to the Shaw family, it must be for Bethany. Otherwise…”

Halfway through Mrs. Shaw’s words, she realized something and looked over at me with a somber expression.

Ryan lowered his gaze, adjusting his cufflinks, his voice was cold. “To be honest with you, Mrs. Shaw, I’m here today to pursue my wife.”

His voice was clear and deliberate, making sure everyone around understood.

The statement felt like a slap in the face to Mrs. Shaw and daughter.

Bethany’s tears welled up as if she had suffered a tremendous humiliation. Her anger was directed at Mrs. Shaw, and she tugged at her arm. “Mom, why are you being so delusional? Do you really have to make me this embarrassed?”

“I didn’t see you trying to stop me just now…”

Half way through Mrs. Shaw’s sentence, Bethany was so angry that she ran away in tears.

Mrs. Shaw could only chase after her to comfort her.

Even though it was the Shaw family’s own event, it had become a laughingstock.

Mr. Shaw felt his face burn with embarrassment, but fortunately, Madam Shaw led Lily into the room. The butler had probably informed her about what had happened.

Madam Shaw had no intention of glossing over the incident. Instead, she walked up to Ryan and then called me over and said seriously, “Charlotte, what happened when they bullied you was indeed the Shaw family’s fault, and the current predicament of the Shaw family is also our own doing.”

I felt inexplicably pained. “Grandma…”

Madam Shaw was not close to Bethany and her mother, and she was far away in Jeswood when they did those things. It was not her place to apologize.

“Child, let me finish.” Madam Shaw patted my hand and looked at Ryan, speaking gently, “Mr. Frost, Charlotte is a good girl. Although you are in a high position now, there are many excellent men who like her. Pursuing a wife may not be as simple as you think.

Chapter 338

Ryan maintained a cold face towards Bethany and her mother but was humble in front of the elder. “What you say is true.”

He paused slightly, his dark eyes fixed on me with deep, turbulent emotions. “This time, I won’t let her down.”

I pretended not to hear.

Madam Shaw merely smiled and said nothing more, leading Lily around to introduce her to the guests.

For a moment, it felt like everyone was focused on her.

The main purpose of my visit today had already been achieved, but the main event had only just begun, so it wasn’t appropriate to leave yet.

I tried to find a corner to sit for a while, but someone kept following me.

I had no patience for this. I turned around briskly and met his gaze directly. “Ryan, we’re already divorced.”

“Is that all you have to say?”

Ryan’s lips curved. “Even if we’re divorced, we can get remarry. The Civil Affairs Bureau will always be there. It won’t go anywhere.”
