The Lily in front of me right now was even more of a threat than Jessica.
I didn''t want to get myself involved.
"Why don''t you go do a paternity test too?"
"Charlotte, answer me."
"Want to run away again?"
The atmosphere in the hall remained superficially rxed, while my phone kept buzzing with messages.
I frowned and set Frank''s chat to "Do Not Disturb."
Even with Lily standing right here, he still thought I might be Lily.
"Ms. Wilson, you''ve just divorced and your phone is already buzzing with messages."
Mrs. Shaw noticed themotion on my side and spoke acidly, "You''re quick to find a new partner."
Frank clicked his tongue, clearly about to lose his temper.
I didn''t want to get entangled with him at this juncture. I took the initiative to speak. "Generally, it''s not as fast as Bethany. I just got divorced, and she''s already engaged to and broken up with my ex-husband!" "You!" Mrs. Shaw red at me viciously.
She was doing it deliberately.
Deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of so many people.
But two could y at that game
Madam Smith seemed to catch the undertone and furrowed her brows. "Charlotte, so your ex-husband is Ryan from the Frost family in Jston?"
"Yes," I admitted it openly.
Having had someone I liked, having been married, is nothing to be ashamed of.
Madam Smith looked disapprovingly at Madam Shaw. "Your family''s actions are rather underhanded!"
It was clear that the two elders had a good rtionship. Madam Shaw didn''t seem to mind at all, merely ncing at Mrs. Shaw. "Don''t drag me into this. This is the work of the three of them!"
"Mom..."
Mrs. Shaw was displeased, but faced with an elder and someone she couldn''t afford to offend, she could only take out her anger on me.
"You act as if your ex-husband is some treasure. Now that hispany has been acquired by the RF Group, he probably only has a bit of money from selling shares!"
I smiled and said nothing.
Mrs. Shaw scoffed, "He still wants to marry our Bethany? Dream on! To make you envious, do you know
who Bethany is going to be with now? The CEO of the RF Group!"
A puzzle look slowly appeared on my face.
So, was Bethany nning to use the same old trick and marryn instead?N?velDrama.Org content.
At that moment, Mrs. Shaw''s phone rang. She answered with a beaming face. "What? Mr. Brown said his boss wille too? That''s great! Don''t worry. I''ll make sure we don''t ck off. Okay, let me know when you pick them up. I''ll personally meet them with my husband!"
She was all smiles.
After hanging up, she looked at me, seeming to gloat. "Charlotte, only you would treat your ex-husband as a treasure. Bethany might be the wife of the RF Group''s owner, and if not, at least she''ll be the CEO''s wife."
''Do they think Bethany can marryn if she can''t marry Ryan?
I couldn''t help but chuckle, looking at Mrs. Shaw. "Well, then... congrattions again to Miss Shaw in advance."
"Stop with the sarcasm."
Mrs. Shaw and I had never got alone. She sneered. "I see you''re just jealous of Bethany. After all, she''s in her first marriage and can outshine you by miles!"
"Mrs. Shaw." Frank suddenly said, "Only someone with nothing to offer wouldpare first and second marriages. Aside from being a first marriage, is there anything else worth mentioning about Bethany?"
