Chapter 299

Author: Lean
I had to admit, it was quite heartbreaking.

When Ryan and I got married, there was no engagement party. Even the wedding was handled entirely by Grandpa. He only reluctantly made an appearance. It wasn't grand at all because he said he didn't want it to be public. The wedding was attended only by the Frost family and close friends, making it as simple as a dinner party.

From our marriage to divorce, outsiders only knew that he pampered his wife, but few knew who his wife actually was.

I repressed my emotions, shifted my gaze, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ryan striding in with a custom-made tailcoat, his expression cold and detached.

On his arm was Bethany, wearing a dress I had designed myself. They looked like a golden couple, their attire shimmering and radiant. Their appearance drew many guests' attention.

Several people tried to approach and ingratiate themselves.

However, Bethany walked towards me, embodying the demeanor of the hostess. "Ms. Wilson, I invited you

    This problem shouldn't have occurred.When I sewed the dress, the stitches were even and dense, and the dress was made to perfectly fit her body. Even if the strap broke, it should have stayed temporarily at the chest level and not fallen immediately. Unless, of course, the zipper at the back also broke at the same time.But that was impossible.The fabric and zipper suppliers were both the same as the ones used during my time at the Frost Group, and their quality was absolutely reliable.Regardless, this was a dress I had personally made.I grabbed my coat, stood up, and ran onto the stage. Just as I was about to help her put on the dress, she slapped me across the face in a fit of rage!"Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to embarrass me today!!"I instinctively covered my stinging face and, without hesitation, slapped her back. "Bethany, I'm not insane enough to ruin my own work!"Bethany's eyes widened in fury, and she was about to lunge at me again when Ryan, wh

    In the Shaw family's residence’s living room.Snowflakes had started drifting down outside the French windows again, twirling as they fell. A thin layer of white had already accumulated on the ground.Inside, the heating was turned on, but I shivered at the cold gaze from Mrs. Shaw. They had looked into me thoroughly. They even looked into things that happened before I came to Jelaston, which is why they locked me in the storage room and deliberately cut off the power. They had gone to great lengths to deal with me, an ex-wife.Mrs. Shaw took a sip of tea and looked at me with contempt. "Have you reconsidered leaving Jelaston?"I stood up straight. "And what's the reason this time?"Last time it was through coercion and inducement. What would they do this time?"After the first dress that came out of your company after starting the business, such problems arose."Mrs. Shaw curved her lips in a mocking smile. "Do you think your company will be able to remain open? It would be b

    Bethany's face stiffened slightly as she snorted coldly. "So what if I did cut it myself?"Upon hearing this, I lost interest in continuing the argument and turned to Mrs. Shaw. "Mrs. Shaw, can I leave now?"I thought she was just getting revenge for her daughter. Now that the truth was clear, it had nothing to do with me.To my surprise, she affectionately pinched Bethany's cheek. "Are you out of your mind? Sacrificing your own reputation just to frame her?"Bethany pouted and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm sorry! She's so stubborn; I had no choice but to resort to this method.""Alright." Mrs. Shaw said in a loving tone, "You go upstairs first. I will handle this."Her tone was gentle, without a hint of blame. She seemed to be the most indulgent mother in the world.Bethany smiled happily. "You’re the best, Mom!"With that, she skipped upstairs, and Mrs. Shaw looked at her with a warm smile, her demeanor very soft.Once Bethany's figure disappeared, Mrs. Shaw slowly withdrew h

    I couldn't hear clearly. But she spoke so slowly that I could read her lips. Before I could look away, a figure hurriedly passed by me!It was Mr. Shaw.Soon, the sounds of objects crashing and faint arguments echoed from the living room.I heard my own name, as well as Ryan's. There were also mentions of online scandals.Finally, a clear and angry shout came from Mr. Shaw. "She's spoiled and headstrong, and you still have to make a fuss? Let her keep kneeling outside in this heavy snow, and if word gets out..."Suddenly, the snow stopped.I took me a while to realize that there was a shadow over my head. Looking up, I saw a large, pure black umbrella and Frank's deep, brown eyes!His face was expressionless as he handed me the umbrella. "Can you hold it?"I rubbed my somewhat numb hands. "I can..."Before I could finish, he shoved the umbrella into my hand.In the next moment, the man in the black leather jacket half-knelt on the ground, silently lifted me into his arms,

    "It's okay." I picked up the towel and dried my hair. After my cold body had warmed up, I turned to Frank. "Did something happen online?"He countered with a question, "Isn't it your doing?""What?" I felt puzzled and asked. He looked at me for a moment, cocked his brows and said, "Alright, I overestimated you."With that, he took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to me. "Take a look yourself.""What’s your PIN?""Your birthday.""Huh?" I was momentarily taken aback.He cocked his brows. "What are you thinking? Your birthday is the same as hers.""Oh, next time be clearer." I freezing and wasn’t thinking straight.After unlocking the phone, I quickly found the information Mrs. Shaw had inquired about.There were revelations online about Bethany being a mistress, using despicable methods to force the original spouse into divorce, and even kidnapping the original spouse today.There were also videos from the Jelaston Summit underground parking lot, showing the kidn

    These two questions were somewhat sharp. However, Frank's face showed no discomfort at all. He gestured for me to come closer. "Come a bit nearer, I'll tell you."I leaned in a little. "Go ahead."The space inside the car was small, and besides the driver, there was no one else, so why make such a mystery out of it?He leaned in slightly as well, a smile in his eyes, looking as infuriatingly smug as ever. "I can't stand overly stupid people."I straightened up abruptly and glared at him. "Should I thank you for guiding me then?""I don't mind."He smiled politely, always looking so annoyingly smug. Nevertheless, I couldn't deny his help. I lowered my gaze. "Thanks for what you did earlier."He tapped his well-manicured fingers on the window sill idly. "If I hadn't come, they would have let you go eventually.""But you'd have had to endure more hardships."Mrs. Shaw and Bethany wouldn't let it go easily. Especially with the online revelations, Mrs. Shaw would vent all her ang

    He wasn’t asleep yet.I pursed my lips and said seriously, "I'm really sorry for breaking your piggy bank that day."Mentioning this, Frank pulled off his eye mask. His drowsy eyes showed a hint of displeasure. "Charlotte, you only let others bully you, but you still know how to make make me uncomfortable, don't you...""No." I hurriedly interrupted, pulling out the small rabbit made by the ceramicist, trying to soothe his emotions. "This, this is a replica of that rabbit. I had someone make it based on the original. The resemblance is quite good. I hope it can make up for my clumsiness that day."Out of both sentiment and reason, I shouldn't have touched that piggy bank. But at that moment, it felt like I was possessed, and I couldn't understand why I touched someone else's personal belongings. I had planned to make an identical one to return to him, but my skills weren't up to scratch, and it came out all wrong. In the end, I had to rely on the ceramicist.Frank stared at the ra

    The next day, the sun rose as usual, and online rumors continued to spread.Even a few of the youngsters at the company now looked at me with added curiosity.Jane had come to my house last night to return my bag and phone, and she was full of self-reproach. She had reported the incident right away, but everyone shrugged it off when they heard it was the Shaw family. In short, without concrete evidence, nothing could be done.She said she was experiencing firsthand the benefits of power and the helplessness of ordinary people. She regretted not breaking up with He Ting earlier. Even if she had become a mistress, she would have had some recourse when I was in trouble yesterday.She was utterly foolish.At that moment, she walked into the office with two cups of coffee, placing one in front of me and sitting down in the chair across from me. Her expression was almost the same as it was last night.As I continued sketching the design for Madam Smith, I asked in confusion, "What's wr

    On the other side, Caleb threw his phone aside.The force was considerable, and it landed with a loud thud.If not for its special design, the screen would likely have shattered by now.Max, standing nearby, laughed. Seeing him silently drinking, he asked knowingly, "What's the matter? Has your wife taken a liking to someone else?"If it were anyone else, if their husband left without a word and answered a phone call with such cold indifference, they would surely be angry.Even if they didn't make a fuss, there would at least be some sign of frustration.Max guessed that Caleb wouldn't say anything, so he flipped open a blank document, his tone sarcastic. "Come on, you've traveled all the way from Yelar to Impelia for a business trip. It must be for a deal worth tens of billions, right?"He wrote "10 billion" on the blank sheet of paper, signed his name in the bottom corner, and handed it to Caleb. "Alright, sign here."Caleb gave it a cursory glance, his expression cold.Even

    When Whitney went out, she ran into Yvonne and handed her the car keys. "Sorry for the trouble, Yvonne.""It's no trouble. I’ll just give them to Millie later on. Don't worry about it.""Okay."Whitney waved goodbye to Yvonne and got into Georgina's car.Georgina exchanged a few words with Yvonne before driving off.On the road, she asked, "Why didn't you get your driver's license?"Whitney replied, "I did, but I haven't driven on the road yet. I'm afraid I might damage Gilbert's car.""How could that happen?" Georgina laughed. "Gilbert's identity is special. The car has armor on the outside, it's crash-resistant, bulletproof, and resistant to everything.""As long as you avoid pedestrians, you'll be fine."Whitney still didn't dare.Georgina asked, "Didn't Caleb help you practice? He doesn't have much to do anyway."Caleb had indeed offered to help her practice driving.But she didn't dare, afraid of crashing his car, something she could never afford to repair.She liked

    His eyes were ice cold. His noble background and the inherent sense of authority he carried made her feel breathless.She stood there for a while, then picked up the plate and walked over.Tentatively, she asked, "Do you... do you want some food?"Caleb looked at her for a few seconds before opening his mouth.Whitney sighed in relief, using a fork to pick up a piece of pasta to feed him.Seeing that he seemed to be eating fine, she slowly continued feeding him.Suddenly, she asked, "Was your alcohol poisoning a lie?"Caleb was still a little stirred up inside, his voice calm as he asked, "Do you want to have an argument?"Whitney didn't dare.She had only suddenly remembered this matter.Earlier, he had pinned her down for a while, yet she hadn't noticed anything wrong.Even if he was physically fine, he had gone to the hospital today, and surely, he shouldn't have had this much energy at night.Although she didn't know why his mother had lied with him, she understood that

    Whitney was surprised and said sincerely, "Both of you are really talented."Georgina smiled, "We're from the same orphanage. We're not biological sisters, but we're just like real sisters."At that moment, Taylor came over, and Yvonne introduced her to Whitney.Taylor was also a quiet person. The two smiled at each other and then fell into silence.Georgina said to Taylor, "Get ready. His flight should be tomorrow night."Taylor's face immediately darkened. "Okay."Whitney sensed that something was off, but seeing their expressions, she wisely didn't ask."Let's go," Caleb returned with the food and called out to Whitney.Whitney didn't want to go back. "I want to talk with Georgina for a while."Caleb didn't speak, only looked at her, but his gaze was cold.Reluctantly, Whitney followed him back.Yvonne hooked her arm around Georgina's shoulder, watching Whitney follow Caleb to the room.She smiled slightly. "She looks really cute. Just like when you were Lucifer's secret

    Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."

    "Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It

    Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho

    Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall

    "If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
