I paused for a moment and then said with a hint of mockery, âI never knew you had such tolerance before.
That night, I had kissed Frank in front of him. Although was drunk, it had actually happened. Given his nature, which allowed only himself to set the rules and not others, he should have ignored me from then
As soon as my words fell, the sound that followed wasnât Ryanâs voice but the commotion coming from the center of the banquet hall.
Lily had changed into a pure white dress. Standing in the center with a microphone, she seemed a bit shy, but her dark eyes were fixed intensely on a certain direction.
The direction where Frank was.
âOver these years, being away from Grandma and my parents, I⦠Iâve suffered a lot and dealt with many peopleâs looks, but relying on the few remaining beautiful memories, Iâve held on.â
She choked up slightly and began to sob. âIâm also very lucky. My family⦠and Frank, have never given up on finding me. This morning, when Grandma asked me what my wish was, I couldnât think of anything at that moment because being able to return to the Shaw family was already a wonderful thing⦠But now, I
think Iâve thought of it.â
âMy wish is to repay Frank for these years of waiting, to marry him and become his wifeâ¦â By the end, her voice was so soft it was barely audible.
Who wouldnât want to support a story of lovers finally being together?
The entire audience erupted in cheers, with some young men clapping and applauding.
Madam Shaw also had tears in her eyes. Even if Lily didnât seem like herself, at that moment, she would accept the reality and show boundless affection.
Frankâs gaze was somewhat ambiguous, making it hard to read his emotions.
Ryan stood next to me, his voice was cold. âYouâre willing to crash into this kind of wall just to avoid coming back to me?â
There was a hint of mockery in his tone that was clear without needing to listen closely.
However, whether it was him or Frank, neither were the issues I needed to address at the moment. Nor would I choose Frank just to leave him, as he suggested.
I smiled. âMr. Frost, donât worry. I now have the ability to recognize a scumbag. I wonât fall into the same
trap twice.â
His eyes darkened, seemingly laughing in anger. âAre you calling me a scumbag?â
âAre you a scumbag?â I responded calmly.
Ryanâs lips curled into a slight, mocking smile as he spoke in a light tone, âIt hasnât been long since the divorce, but you seem to be better with words.â

âRyan.â I composed myself and said softly, âIâve always hoped that we could part ways with dignity. Even if weâre divorced now, letâs not make our meetings awkward.â
I had never imagined I could say such rational words to him one day, without a hint of bitterness.
âIf you wish for anything, I can help you achieve it.â He reverted to his inherent dominance. âExcept for this one thing.â
âWhat if I offer you that 10% of shares in exchange?â
Recently, the share price of the Frost Group had clearly improved, though it hadnât reached the stage lan mentioned of multiplying several times. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Frost Group was no longer comparable to the past.
The 10% I held was worth a fortune.
Ryan was momentarily stunned, his eyes darkening. âAre you threatening me again?â
âYou could think it that way!â
This share could ensure a clean break between me and the past. If he didnât agree, I would sell it to someone else.
That 10% share could influence major decisions at the shareholdersâ meeting of the Frost Group. Ryan wouldnât allow it to fall into someone elseâs hands.
