Chapter 367

Author: Lean
I was stunned for a moment, feeling as if I had been slapped in the face. I shouldn't have trusted him. I shouldn't 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, don't get Mr. Frost wrong. Mr. Frost went to see her to warn her not to..."

"Enough! You should be clearer than anyone whether he's involved or not!"

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 high-end suit which suited his aura much better. He looked cold and stern, glancing at the photos I had carelessly thrown on the passenger seat. "Because of a few words from others, you start suspecting me?"

"Am I doubting you, or did you actually do it?"

I had heard his words in the office with my own ears.

Ryan sneered. "What have

    "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 o

    I was taken aback. I looked at him and said irritably, "Did I say I was going to marry you?""Everything else can be decided by you," Frank said with a smile. "But this matter is up to me."I glared at him. "If I don't want to, are you going to force me?"As I said this, I started going downstairs. When he followed me to the car, I was puzzled. "Where's your car?""The driver took it."He opened the front passenger door and got into the car. All of that was done very smoothly. It was rare for him not to go straight to sleep after getting in the car today.I started the engine and heard him ask, "Did you find out anything from your aunt?""Yeah, I learned a little."Thinking about my aunt made me feel a bit down. I the said while driving, "I was indeed kidnapped back then. I escaped and ended up in my dad's car. He saved me.""They mentioned something about 'Mrs. Shaw' when those people were searching for me." I continued, hoping to hear his thoughts, "Do you think the person w

    I was initially going to refuse, but upon hearing this, I accepted and joked, "So you've had a time when you don’t care about money at all?"He was all about profit now, but back then, he was generous enough to give away a whole house.He cocked his brows. "You flatter me. After all, I did manage to get quite a few good things from you when we were younger."That just showed he hadn’t changed at all.After changing into slippers, he pushed the luggage into the bedroom. "I've stocked up on daily necessities and everything. Let me know if anything else is missing.""Okay." I nodded, looking around and feeling an inexplicable sense of relief as the early spring sunset streamed in.He leaned casually against the doorframe and said, "You can continue talking. What else did you find out in Jelaston?""This." I took out a jade rabbit pendant from my collar. "Do you recognize it?""Of course."His expression became slightly serious. "Have you always worn it?""Yes. My aunt gave it to

    He was very swift indeed.In less than half an hour, the vegetables were washed and chopped. However, despite my request for roast potatoes, it seemed like he intended to make chips.I didn’t have a problem with that chips were tasty too.I was idly scrolling through my phone on the sofa when he came out wearing an apron, looking quite out of his usual high and mighty self. He scratched his head and said, "Well, do you want to take a shower first?"I was puzzled. "I'd like to eat first and then shower.""Go ahead and shower. You'll feel refreshed and enjoy your meal more," he sincerely advised.I didn't know what his angle was.However, it wasn't a matter of principle. Since I was at his place, I decided to compromise. I went to the bedroom, closed the door, grabbed some clothes, and headed to the bathroom. By the time I finished my shower and came out, the meal was ready. Frank, who seemed to have been busy with something in the kitchen, looked a bit flustered when he

    He saw through my thoughts. "I want the truth.""I need some time to think things through," I said honestly.He nodded in acknowledgment, "That's fair. Take your time."The next day, Frank and I planned to meet with Flint, who had previously been taken away by Mrs. Shaw. Frank said that the person had revealed some information. He needed me to hear it in person and decide whether to believe it."Otherwise, if it comes from me, it might sound like I'm stirring up trouble and ruining my image of being someone on the side of justice," he said.Just as I was about to change clothes and do my makeup, the doorbell suddenly rang.I checked my phone, but there were still about two hours until our scheduled meeting.With a smile, I got up and went to open the door. I was stunned when I saw who was standing outside.I greeted politely, "Mr. Smith."At that moment, Mr. Smith was completely different from the imposing presence he had the night before in the hospital. He resembled a friend

    He was already certain, and with the conversation having reached this point, I had no other choice. But I wanted to be selfish just this once.I got up. "Mr. Smith, if you can't do it, then I don't think I can either."I didn't want to make decisions for Frank under the guise of doing what was best for him. But no matter what he chose, I would respect it.Mr. Smith's gaze became sharp. "Right now he's infatuated and impulsive, willing to give up everything for you. What about later? After the initial excitement wears off and he falls from his high perch, have you thought about three years, five years, or ten years from now?"I suddenly found it difficult to breathe.Mr. Smith sneered. "When he sees his mother and sister suffering because of his love, will he regret it and blame you as the stumbling block?"I had to admit, experience had its merits. Every word struck right at the heart of the matter."Whether you are Mrs. Frost, Ms. Wilson, or Ms. Shaw, I just hope you can see th

    “Mrs. Smith Collapses from Emotional Distress”“Second Son of the Smith Family Joins the Smith Group”“Second Son of the Smith Family and Mr. Frost”“Frank's Position is Challenged”“Second Son of the Smith Family Secretly Contacts RF Group”By the evening, the news had been released piece by piece.When I saw the last one, I dialed Ryan's number. "Is this your doing?"There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before he sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Which part are you asking about? The fake daughter of the Shaw family or the mess with the Smith family?""You know what I'm asking about.""Whatever you say."His voice was cold as the sound of a lighter flicking on came through. "Charlotte, come back and be Mrs. Frost. I can help you with the Shaw family's issues and the Smith family's problems."I was momentarily stunned. "The Smith family's issues?""Frank's issues."He seemed to take a drag of his cigarette, his voice sounding husky. "Do you th

    I suddenly stood up on my tiptoes, and threw myself into his embrace. My arms wrapped tightly around his waist."Such enthusiasm?" He seemed pleased, rubbing the back of my head. "Have you thought about what you needed to think about?""I have." As I spoke, my gaze swept over to Ryan, who was standing at the door with a stern expression.Before I could say anything, Ryan's well-defined fingers tapped lightly on the door. "Honey, it's time to go home.""I'll handle it." Frank patted my head, gently releasing me and turning to leave."Frank!" I called out to him. He seemed to sense something, his lean body stiffening slightly, but he still responded, "Yeah? What's up?"I dared not look into his eyes. Summoning all my strength, I said as casually as possible, "He's here to pick me up."He pursed his lips, but he wasn’t smiling. His tone bewildered. "What did you say?""I've had enough fun. I need to go back to being Mrs. Frost." I shrugged nonchalantly. "Frank, let's go our separa

    "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

    Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit

    The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g

    "Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building

    “Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c

    Whitney nodded.By the time they arrived, it was already dark.But the entrance of the hot spring resort was bustling with activity.People were coming and going, and the car park at the front was filled with luxury cars.Standing at the entrance was a woman in a purple gown, her figure stunning.In such cold weather, she was only wearing a form-fitting silk dress, and although she had a mink shawl draped over her shoulders, it had started snowing mixed with rain by now.Whitney felt a chill just looking at her.Then, glancing at herself, she realized she looked round and bundled up due to her thin frame, trying to stay warm.Compared to the woman in front of her, she didn't feel the least bit feminine."Yvonne!"Millie tugged Whitney over. "I brought my sister-in-law!"Yvonne excused herself from her guests, letting someone show them in, and then turned to face Millie and Whitney.The moment Whitney met her gaze, she felt a softening in her bones.It was a natural, effort

    Caleb's temples throbbed.He regretted some of the things he had done to Millie when they were younger.Whitney was a bit worried, but Millie reassured her to not worry at all.In reality, Caleb was fine.If it weren't for Whitney, she would have exposed his little scheme by now."Gilbert will be here soon.""Also, the doctor said to observe him overnight, but he'll be fine. He can be discharged tomorrow. He's not missing any limbs. Whitney, it's okay to care about your husband, but don't spoil him too much. It'll bring bad luck."Whitney had never heard anything like this before.Millie always said things that were beyond her understanding.Maybe that's the difference between being spoiled growing up and struggling just to survive."Okay."She liked Millie, just as she liked Jane and the others—they were all great girls.Millie pinched her cheek. "That's more like it."Gilbert finished work at his usual time.When he arrived at the hospital, he thought for a moment and c

    "You're still trying to make me gain weight." Millie was very kind to Whitney, always speaking in her favor, so she had to support her as well. "I always thought you liked a bit of meat on someone."Caleb wanted her to eat more, gain a bit of weight, and stay healthy.This was a setup, and he wasn't sure how to respond."Only giving me vegetables?"Whitney hadn't planned on cooking meat at all, but since Millie mentioned wanting some, she made cooked some meat."You can't eat anything greasy right now, but I've made some chicken. You can have some chicken."Caleb smirked. "I'll do as you say."Millie couldn't stand it anymore and clicked her tongue a few times.But Caleb didn't give her a chance to speak. "Can't the roast pork shut you up?"Millie was so angry that she gritted her teeth. After finishing her meal, she saw Whitney still feeding Caleb.Unable to stop herself, she said, "Caleb, you've got alcohol poisoning, not a broken arm. Whitney, you should eat. The dishes ar

    Whitney felt that Millie probably had some longstanding grudge with Caleb from when they were kids.Therefore, she treated Millie with respect as well.That was why she said those words.What was so great about her?Being able to cook wasn't anything extraordinary.The Hilton family's status in Yelar was such that, had it not been for her good luck in becoming Zachary's sister and getting such an opportunity, she would have likely died in some unknown gutter.As for the various daughters of affluent families surrounding Caleb—beautiful, gentle, intellectual, and so on—the list was endless.Compared to her, they were a thousand times better.And yet, she still thought that Caleb marrying her was a loss.It wasn't as exaggerated as Millie had said."Millie, please don't say that. Caleb can cook for me, too. It's nothing special."Millie was shocked.Could Caleb even cook?But when she saw Whitney's expression, she realized that the times Caleb had cooked for her when they we
