However, I was a bit puzzled and asked, âJack, is there something you want to say?â âNo.â
âOh, okay.â I smiled, glanced at the time, and said, âItâs about time, I need to head to Jeswood now.â
âYouâ¦â He hesitated for a moment. âIs there still a chance between you and Ryan?â
âJack.â I laughed helplessly. âIâm not in the mood to think about that right now. If youâre trying to convince me to get back together
hhim, just stop.â
âIâm not here to do that.â He seemed to be evaluating my expression, then hesitantly said, âThereâsâ¦. something I donât know if I should tell you.â
âWhat is it?â
âI heard Megan mention the fake daughter of the Shaw family.â
Jack considered his words carefully. âHave you thought about why she could replace be behind her?â
you and who might
âProbably Bethany and her associates.â
There might be others involved, but I didnât have any clues at that moment. This matter was clearly targeting me. Ordinary people wouldnât dare to interfere in the Shaw familyâs affairs. But aside from them, I canât think of anyone else I might have offended.
Realizing this, I suddenly looked at Jack âDo you know something?â
He avoided my gaze. âNever mind, itâs just a guess.â
The more he said this, the more I felt that something was wrong. âWhat guess?â
Jack seemed troubled and after a long pause, said, âYou⦠you need to promise me that youâll handle it calmly and not be too impulsive. Itâs very likely Iâm wrong and misunderstood.â
âIâll try.â
âLook at this.â
He handed me two photos. âI accidentally came across these the other day and heard them talking aboutâ marrying Frankâ and so on. I couldnât understand how Ryan knew her until Megan told me she was Impersonating youâ¦â
1 took the photos and immediately understood Jackâs meaning. The two photos showed Ryan and the fake Lily in a coffee shop.
I clutched the photos tightly. âThank you, Jackâ¦â
âCharlotte, things might not be as they seem.â
Jack, fearing I might act impulsively, continued to explain for Ryan. âAnd even if Ryan is involved, itâs probably because heâs afraid of losing you, so he acted this way. Donât be too angry.â

*Stop defending him for now.â I pursed my lips. âIâll go find him and get a clear explanation.â
Even though I was angry about this, it didnât quite fit Ryanâs usual style.
âWhat if it turns out he did it? What will you do?â asked Jack.
âThereâs nothing I can do,â I said calmly. âWeâll just act like strangers from now on.â
Jack looked taken aback, then quickly concealed his surprise, seeming astonished by my indifference.â What if it were me? Would you treat me as a stranger too?â
âProbably.â I looked at Jack and smiled lightly. âI canât accept people around me making decisions for me or using underhanded tactics. Thatâs too frightening. But, Jack, youâre definitely not that kind of person.*
âOf course not.â He smiled warmly. âI will always be your Jack.â
On the way to the Frost Group headquarters, I considered several possibilities. But I still didnât think it was Ryan. The tactics were too despicable. He wouldnât stoop to such methods.
âYouâre meddling too much! Jack, even if it were me behind the Shaw family affair, itâs not your place to question me.â
Just as I reached the door to the presidentâs office, Gary was about to knock for me when a cold, harsh voice came from inside..
âBesides, what are you pretending to be so selfless for? You should be even less willing for her to be with Frank than I am, right?â
