Mrs. Shaw pulled out a chair and sat down, chin raised as she eyed me, exuding the aura of a wealthy person to its fullest.


    "The current predicament of the Frost family, once news of cooperation with the Shaw family gets out, will naturally be resolved. But your obstruction will only hold Ryan back.


    "Yes, he indeed ranks among the best-appearance, family background, capability, character-there are few in Jston, or even nationwide, who can bepared to him. It''s normal for you to hold onto him tightly."


    "However, you should consider if you''re worthy. You, someone without even a supportive family, what do you have to secure the position of Mrs. Frost?"


    She spoke as if making idle chatter, but each word cut deep into my


    heart.


    I pinched my fingers and calmly replied, "Mrs. Shaw, I respect your sèniority, but if you''re going to blur the lines between right and wrong just for your daughter, don''t me me for being blunt." To hear her advocating discing the original wife so boldly was a first


    for me.


    It seemed like without parents, without a respectable family to speak of, I was fair game to be trodden upon by her.


    Mrs. Shaw seemed to find it amusing as sheughed coldly. "I''d like to see how you can be blunt with me."


    "Whether Ryan and I divorce, when we divorce, whether we want to or not, it''s all my choice."


    Under her increasingly displeased expression, I asked coldly, "Do you'' and the Shaw family think you can push me around every day?"


    rowned deeply and forced a


    person of many faces. A few days ago, you are a little rah Now you''re showing your teeth and ws? Come on then, say you have to say


    "There''s nothing more to say."


    I shrugged, my voice cool. Tm just rately witness to such mother daughter duo who not only condone but actively pressurize the original wife. I now know the Shaw family''s style."


    Bang!


    Mrs. Shaw suddenly mmed the table, ring at me with fury. "No wonder Bethany told me you''re an orphan without any upbringing at all


    1 suppressed my anger, smiling wryly. "Well, I''m still better than Bethany, whoes from a crooked family lineage."


    With that said, I didn''t want to say anything more to her and turned to leave immediately.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "Hold on."


    Mrs. Shaw gritted her teeth. "I have a property in Jeswood, not inferior to this office. If you want to start apany, you can choose any floor for free."


    "And what are the conditions?" I smiled.


    There''s no such thing as a free lunch, everyone knew that


    She stood up, grabbing her bag. ''Never return to Jston again! Otherwise, no office building will dare to rent to you their office. Your


    conyxiny won''t be able to start eitherf


    She was using both the carrot and the stick.


    This pretty much confirmed what Jessica said yesterday-ordinary people were like ants in the face of power.


    I had no doubt that the Shaw family had the ability to easily destroy all my prospects.


    But I wasn''t willing to give in, "Nevere cack? Mrs. Shaw, don''t forget, I haven''t obtained the divorce certificate yet."


    "You don''t need to worry about that. As long as you disappear, I''ll handle the divorce certificate."


    She pulled out a check from her bag and tossed it lightly onto the table. "Consider this cheque my support for your venture!"
