Before | could say anything, Madam Shaw was instantly furious!
With a face full of anger, she glared at Mrs. Shaw. "Who gave you the right to drive guests away from my
courtyard?"
"Grandma, it's okay!"
| remembered Frank saying that Grandma couldn't handle extremotions, so | quickly reassured her. "lI was
planning to leave anyway. Soon... Frank should bring the real Miss Shaw back to see you." In a family reunion
scene like this, as an outsider, | shouldn't be here.
Madam Shaw wanted toto stay, but seeing that | was insistent, she didn't say anything more.
I quickly gathered my luggage | had packed earlier in the morning, and soon cdownstairs with my suitcase.
Mrs. Shaw escortedout of the courtyard and, once we were far enough that Madam Shaw couldn't hear,
spoke with a hint of disdain, "Don't cback unless there's something really important. The Shaw family isn't a
place where just anyone can use!"
"Mrs. Shaw." | didn't stop walking or look at her, and said calmly, "I know you dislikebecause you want to get
rid of me, an ex-wife, for your daughter. We've been at odds from the beginning. However, | also want to tell you
that | only happened to catch Madam Shaw's favor. I'm not interested in using the Shaw family."

"How would | know what you're thinking?"
She clearly didn't believe me, her gaze shifting to the bracelet on my wrist. "That bracelet was given to you by
Madam Shaw, wasn't it?"
"es."
"Well!" She sneered with disdain. "You're no different from the beggars on the streets!"
| couldn't contain my anger any longer. My tone was icy. "And you? Is this always how you act, so aggressive and
high-up?"
"Charlotte!"
Perhaps she didn't expect that | would retort. This remark alone made her face turn cold. "Don't think just
because you have Madam Shaw backing you that | won't do anything to you!"
"And what exactly do you plan to do to me?!" | glanced at the snow that had just fallen last night and said
sarcastically, "Are you going to makekneel in the snow again? Mrs. Shaw, your precious daughter still has a
lot of dirt on her, doesn't she?"
Her eyes, decorated with elaborate makeup, glared at me, her teeth clenched in anger. "Was it really you who
did that last time?"
"Guess."
| tossed out this one word, stopped accommodating her pace, and strode away with my suitcase.
This was inspired by what Frank said toafter he rescuedfrom the snow.

In any case, whether it wasor not, she wouldn't show any mercy. It was better forto take the blame
myself; this way, they might have sreservations. No matter how much they wanted to get rid of me, they
would have to consider their reputation.
As | was about to call for a taxi outside the Shaw family's gates, the butler crunning after me.
He said Madam Shaw was worried and insisted that he arrange for a driver to take me.
On the way out of Jeswood, my thoughts were a bit tangled.
| sent a message to Jane to ask if she had arrived in Sentrea.
Her plan this year was to spend the New Year in Sentrea and see if she could find a romance.
That was also why | agreed to help Frank deal with his parents during the New Year.
As soon as | sent the message, the car rasuddenly announced, "On the Jelaston Motorway, there has been
multiple collisions causing severe traffic jam. The road will be temporarily closed. Due to the snowy weather,

The driver slowly applied the brakes and said, "Ms. Wilson..."
understood. "Please taketo a nearby hotel, thanks."
Given the New Year and the snow and road closures, a round trip at low speed would take an unknown amount of
time. Anyone would want to hurry back to have New Year's Eve dinner with their family. Coincidentally, the
closest option was the six-star hotel Frank had booked forlast time.
| was too lazy to fuss around, so | made a booking.
When | got the key card, it turned out to be the sroom as last time.
"Charlotte! You're back in Jelaston?" As soon as | turned on the heater in the room, Jane's call came
through.
"Not yet," | said helplessly. "I thought | would arrive by noon, but the road was closed."
"Thank goodness!" Jane sighed in relief. "Where are you? Sendyour location."
| thought for a moment. "You're in Jeswood?"
"Yes!"
Her voice was bright but slightly annoyed. "My flight was at noon, but when | saw the news about Frank, | was
afraid he'd leave you alone for the New Year, so | drove straight to Jeswood. | only just checked my phone now
after getting off the motorway."
