Chapter 368

“Wait.” I interrupted calmly and asked with a smile, “My dad? Who is my dad?”

The ones who were so adamant–about not recognizing me that day were also them.

Mrs. Shaw, however, was adaptable and forced a wry smile. “You’re still holding a grudge, aren’t you? We’re all family here. We just couldn’t accept it the truth back then.”

“Exactly. Charlotte, just accept the apology already,” said Bethany.

“What kind of attitude is that?” Mrs. Shaw gave her a reprimanding look, though her tone was not truly stern. “Watch that attitude of yours.”

Bethany stared at me, reluctantly, but then seemed to have thought of something, and her lips curved into a smile. “Charlotte.”

It almost–gave me goosebumps as I watched what they were doing. I just wanted to know what they were up to.

Mrs. Shaw nudged Mr. Shaw. “You as well. Why are you not even greeting your own daughter?”

Mr. Shaw cleared his throat, looked at me, and gestured towards the room’s door. “Aren’t you here to see your grandma? Go on in.”

“Alright.”

I entered the room and saw Madam Shaw still lying unconscious on the bed, looking somewhat powerless. When she would wake up was still uncertain. The three of them in the living room seemed to be plotting something.

When I came out a while later, I saw Mrs. Shaw still forcing a smile on her face.

“Charlotte, your father, your sister, and I are all very happy that you’ve come back safely. We should have held a welcome party for you, but with your grandma being ill and things happening at home…”

‘Here it comes.”

I didn’t respond, just looked into her eyes and listened to her continue. “The most urgent project at the company has a huge gap in funding. With our current strained relationship with the RF Group, no one would dare to invest in us. We have to seek the RF Group’s help. Now that you’re part of the Shaw family, shouldn’t you contribute to the family business?”

I smiled. “Well, how should I contribute?”

“Stop your fallout with Mr. Frost,” Mrs. Shaw said shamelessly. “You’re very lucky to have Mr. Frost as your husband. Mr. Frost has treated you really well. Just be a good Mrs. Frost, will you? The Shaw family will be your family, and no one will dare to bully you anymore.”

“Alright.” I nodded happily, and just as they seemed to relax, I slowly pointed to Bethany, “First, let her leave.”

Bethany glared at me. “Charlotte! How dare you…”

“Why should I sacrifice my whole life for the Shaw famly and still end up with you taking a share?”

Rethany, right?.”

I sneered, seeing through their intentions. “You all want me to be a steppingstone for Bethany, right?.”

Charlotte…” Mrs. Shaw seemed anxious. “Bethany has been with the Shaw family since she was young. Although she was adopted, I see her as my own…”

“Oh, I see.” I smiled slightly. “Then let her go ask Ryan for help. After all, she’s a ‘former‘ fiancee. Ryan might do her a favor!”

With that, I turned and left the hospital room.

To my surprise, just as I opened the door to leave, I saw Frank walking towards me.

Seeing me, he suddenly stopped, a smile appeared on his face. “Aren’t you coming over?”

I walked up to him with a smile. “How did you know I was at the hospital?”

He looked at me casually. “I have my sources,”

“Oh.”

“I’ve missed you…”

“I have something…”

We almost spoke at the same time.

He cocked his brows. “You go first.”

“Okay, I’ll

go first.”

I had prepared myself mentally, but now facing his gaze, it was unexpectedly hard to speak. Even though there was nothing particularly unusual about our relationship.

Frank sensed the seriousness of the situation and his expression became slightly serious. “What’s going

on?”

“Ryan and I…” I tried to speak calmly. “The divorce certificate we got last time was fake.”

Many of the scenarios I had anticipated did not occur. The air froze momentarily before Frank touched his teeth with his tongue, seeming both angry and amused.

“So, does this mean that when you marry me, you’ll bring half of RF Group as a wedding gift?
