"Second Son of the Smith Family Secretly Contacts RF Group"
By the evening, the news had been released piece by piece.
When | saw the last one, | 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 cthrough. Charlotte, cback and be Mrs. Frost, |
can help you with the Shaw family's issues and the Smith family's problems.
| 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 your think the old man of the Smith
family just wants you to leave Frank? He wants to use the RF Group's power to take the Smith family to another
level."
| forced myself to stay calm. "Do you know that illegitimate son of the Smith family?"
He replied softly. "He's a high school classmate of lan's
At that, | understood.

Interests involved
With Frank andtogether, Ryan would keep targeting the Smith family. But with that illegitimate son, there
might be a chance to create a win-win situation with the RF Group.
Even if Frank and | parted ways, it might not change the situation. The only way to turn things around was for
Ryan to intervene and stop lan from
contacting that illegitimate son. That way, the illegitimate son would lose his leverage.
The evening light was blinding me, and leaned back on the sofa. "Ryan, this is meaningless. | don't love you
anymore. Being Mrs. Frost like this..." "I'm the one who decides whether it's meaningrul or not."
Ryan's voice was unyielding, with a hint of a sickly tone. "Charlotte, if you've fallen in love withonce, you can
fall in love witha second time." "I'm not stupid enough to make the smistake again."
| wasn't going to jump into the sdeep pit a second time.
"A month. If after a month you still insist..."
His voice was tight and trembled slightly. "I'll let you go!"
1 didn't feel relieved at all.
A month could change many things.
"| can't give you an answer right now," | said.
"I'm almost in Jeswood. You don't have much time," he said coldly.
| abruptly threw my phone away.
| picked up the mug from the coffee table, thinking of throwing it, but then remembered there was another
identical mug on the dining table.
These were a pair of mugs Frank had bought.
| resisted the urge.
Tears fell heavily, spreading across the fabric of my clothes.
I'm so sorry. I'm used to being cautious. Maybe | don't deserve someone's full-hearted love."
| didn't want to be a stumbling block in his life or for him to end up with nothing because of me.
In sways, Ryan and | were the same.
We were both self-righteous!
| walked barefoot to the window, pushed it open, and leaned out a bit.
Clunk-
The mug had not been placed properly on the table and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the carpet cushioned the fall, and it didn't break, but it broughtback to my senses.
| quickly pulled back, sliding down the wall and hugging my knees, uncontrollably bursting into tears.
| didn't know how long it took forto calm down, but the room darkened slightly as someone said lazily, "I
tried calling your phone but got no response. | thought something had happened to you. So, you were just hiding
here daydreaming?"
