Chapter 301
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 | shivered at the cold gaze from Mrs. Shaw. They had looked into me
thoroughly. They even looked into things that happened before | cto 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 atwith contempt. "Have you reconsidered leaving Jelaston?"

| stood up straight. "And what's the reason this time?"
Last tit was through coercion and inducement. What would they do this time?
"After the first dress that cout 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 better for you to go abroad and study properly for a few years. I'll cover the costs."
| clenched my fists. That day at the Shaw family's residence, Ryan had said the sthing-sendingabroad.
Everyone wanted to sendabroad.
Mrs. Shaw added, "But before you go abroad, you must first write an apology letter on social media in your own
name, admitting that you had ulterior motives and deliberately caused Bethany's embarrassment in public!"
"What if | refuse?" | bitterly tugged at the corner of my mouth, and when | lifted my gaze to meet Mrs. Shaw's, |
spoke neither humble nor haughty, "And is it necessarily my fault that the dress had a problem?"
Her face immediately showed anger. The cup in her hand fell with a loud crash onto the marble coffee table.
"What are you trying to say? Are you suggesting that Bethany deliberately ruined her dress to fryou?!"
"That is a possibility!" | answered clearly, as it was indeed the only possibility left.
Mrs. Shaw stood up, walking briskly towards me, her high heels clicking on the floor. Suddenly, she pinched my
cheek with her finely manicured nails digging into my skin.

Where's the evidence? Charlotte, tell me, what is the evidence?"
| wanted to struggle, but two bodyguards were holding my shoulders and arms, preventingfrom moving.
"Exactly!" Bethany cdownstairs quickly in a changed outfit, fuming. "It's obvious you did this on purpose to
embarrass us and ruin the Shaw family's reputation..."
| gritted my teeth to endure the pain on my face. "I have evidence."
As | spoke, | opened my hand to reveal a piece of strap fabric from Bethany's dress. Mrs. Shaw glanced at it
dismissively and brushedaside. "What's this?" "Miss Shaw, you should recognize this."
| held the piece of fabric up to Bethany's face. "After all, you're the one who cut it yourself with scissors, and the

In a prominent family like the Shaw family, there's only the opportunity for others to aspire to. Even if Bethany
harbored a grudge, no one would dare to embarrass the Shaw family in such a setting.
The most important thing is that this dress wouldn't have passed through many hands, so it's easy to trace.
Once someone makes a move, it would likely implicate the whole family. No one would be that foolish.
Considering all factors, it must have been Bethany herself.
Bethany, asked angrily, "How did this end up in your hands?"
"I grabbed it when | was hitting you."
The scene was too chaotic at the time. But | could immediately confirm it wasn't a quality issue. Plus, the strap
broke first. | wanted to know the reason, so when | slapped her, | casually pulled the strap from her chest into my
hand. She was so absorbed in her fierce emotions about ruining my career that she didn't notice.
