I walked away, so I couldn''t hear everything clearly. However, the term "ill-fated lovers" was crystal clear.


    As someone who was single, this term had nothing to do with me.


    The Shaw family''s residence was enormous. As Madam Shaw mentioned, I eventually had to ask a servant for directions to find the dining room.


    "Are you Ms. Wilson that Madam Shaw has been mentioning since early this morning?"


    The butler, who happened to be near the dining room, noticed me and promptly instructed a servant to prepare another breakfast for me.


    I smiled slightly, thanked him, and quietly began eating.


    Only then did the butler leave.


    As I ate, someone suddenly cast a shadow beside me, and the next moment, the person couldn''t wait to express their frustration.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "Charlotte, I warn you, stay away from my family! I don''t care what you''re plotting, don''t try to get on my Grandma''s good side!"


    I continued sipping my oat porridge, unbothered. "What am I plotting?"


    Bethany snorted and felt irritated. "What could you be plotting? You''re probably still not giving up on Ryan after your divorce. You want to use my Grandma and the Shaw family to get close to him again and try to seduce him..."


    "Bethany, I''m not like you."


    I put down my spoon and frowned slightly. "I still have some dignity."


    Being devoted was fine, and being affectionate was okay, but being unscrupulous or relentlessly clingy was just shameful.


    "You!" Bethany rolled her eyes dramatically and then suddenly grinned. "So it was you who had someone beat me up that day?"


    I yed dumb. "Beat you up? What do you mean?"


    "Even though Franky covered for you."


    She leaned on the table with one hand and stared at me coldly. "I still know it was you because the injuries on me were exactly the same as the onesst time."


    "Oh, so what do you want?"


    I stopped pretending.


    I thought that someone like her, used to being arrogant and domineering, would certainly confront me on the spot.


    To my surprise, she smiled sweetly. "I don''t want anything right now because Ryan was heartbroken when he saw my injuries. He wanted to have you killed immediately, but I stopped him."


    I believed that.


    After all, Jessica dragged me into traffic, causing the ident and miscarriage. He had the nerve to me me and p me.


    Not to mention, now I was deliberately retaliating against Bethany.


    He would certainly want to punish me severely for his beloved.


    Even though I was in a warm room, I felt like I was falling into an ice cer. I slowly stood up. "Is that so? That''s good. He''s indeed a good man."


    To Jessica, yes.


    To Bethany, yes.


    But to me, he was an abyss.


    "Yes, so I will definitely marry him!"


    Bethany proudly raised her chin like a haughty princess, "By the way, I''m very satisfied with the design drafts you sent me. As for the rest, you need to hurry up and finish it. Don''t dy my engagement party with Ryan."


    "Wait a minute."


    I took out my phone and started recording, "Please repeat the first part of what you just said. Also, the design fee,bor costs, and material costs for this dress is a total of 1.02 million. Last time, you paid 20 thousand online, so the remaining 1 million should be transferred in two installments of 500 thousand each-today and on the day of the fitting."


    "05 million? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?" Bethany frowned in displeasure. Charlotte, are you doing this on purpose?"


    I smiled gently. "Miss Shaw, don''t be too quick to jump to conclusions. This is the actual price. Of course, if you feel humiliated by the process being too troublesome, then you can still transfer me the rest of the payment in one go. I don''t mind."
