Chapter 367
I was stunned for a moment, feeling as if I had been slapped in the face. I shouldnât have trusted him. I shouldnât have even come here.
I turned to leave, but Gary seemed to catch sight of the photos in my hand and started to defend Ryan. Mrs. Frost, donât get Mr. Frost wrong. Mr. Frost went to see her to warn her not toâ¦â
âEnough! You should be clearer than anyone whether heâs involved or not!â
I was burning with anger, my steps quick and heavy.
As I reached the underground car park and was about to close the car door, a large hand forcefully gripped the door, preventing me from shutting it.
Ryan had changed out of his casual outfit and into a highâend suit which suited his aura much better. He looked cold and stem, glancing at the photos I had carelessly thrown on the passenger seat. âBecause of a few words from others, you start suspecting me?â
âAm I doubting you, or did you actually do it?â
I had heard his words in the office with my own ears.
Ryan sneered. âWhat have I done? Even if Iâm a bastard, I wouldnât tamper with your background!â
âLetâs hope so!*
I tried to slam the door shut, but he was much stronger than me. The door barely moved. âLet go.â
âStill donât believe me?â
âNo, I donât!â I said coldly.
He looked down at me from his height and said mockingly, âThen who do you believe? Jack? Did he give you those photos?â
âIt has nothing to do with you.â
âCharlotte, as long as it concerns you, it has everything to do with me.â
âWeâre divorced!â
âOh.â
Ryan lowered his gaze, and after a short pause, he said slowly, âThe call from the hospital interrupted me that day. I forgot to finish what I was saying.â
1 frowned. âWhat were you saying?â
âThe divorce certificates are fake.â
I felt like I had been struck by lightning. âWhat?â
He said calmly, âYou heard.â
âSo⦠does that mean weâre not divorced?â I asked in a daze.

âFrom the beginning, I never intended to divorce you. The divorce certificates were just to mislead people.
âWhat about me?â I asked, unable to control my agitation. âRyan, do you care about my feelings? What do you think of me? We got the divorce certificates when you say so, and now you tell me theyâre fake? You never thought of divorcing me?â
It was hilarious and absurd,
*This matter was my unilateral decision. You can make a fuss however you want, butâ¦â he said.
âThereâs no but.â
I forced myself to calm down and looked at him with a light smile. âDo you think Iâm still the same person who was bound by a marriage certificate? Whether itâs with Frank or anyone else, donât think you can use your âhusbandâ status to morally coerce me.â
âIf one day I commit bigamy, as long as youâre not afraid of being mocked for being the honorable Mr. Frost that was cheated on, youâre welcome to call the police and arrest me!â
On the way to Jeswood, I remained relatively calm.
It didnât really matter. He was the owner of the RF Group. The longer he dragged this out, the more I would get from the divorce settlement. As long as I had no morals, there was nothing he could do.
He still had to give me my share.
1 kept trying to convince myself, but in the end, I was still so angry that my chest was heaving up and down.
âDamn Ryan! Heâs truly despicable!
He relied on his absolute power to manipulate everyone at his will.
I didnât go to the hotel to check in. Instead, I went straight to the hospital. Although Frank told me that my Grandmaâs condition was stable, I was still a bit worried.
I had also been concerned about running into Bethany and her family, which would have led to more arguments.
But unexpectedly, when I pushed open the door of the ward, the three of them turned to look at me, and their worried expressions turned into smiles.
Only, their smiles didnât seem quite right.
Especially Mrs. Shaw, who suddenly had redârimmed eyes and hugged me. âLily, Lily⦠It was my fault before I didnât recognize you and always made things difficult for you. I was wrongâ¦â
I frowned and pushed her away, creating some distance between us. âWhat kind of act is this?â
She froze for a moment, wiped her tears, and said, âIâve discussed things with your father over the past few daysâ¦â
