Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shaw scanned the room and quickly locked eyes with Mr. Shaw, pulling him along to greet the guests.


    Before long, there was amotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.N?velDrama.Org content.


    Ryan andn, walked in with Mr. and Mrs. Shaw and Bethany.


    Ryan was dressed in a ck overcoat, his demeanor dignified and cold, his steps steady, exuding a strong aura of authority.


    Given what Mrs. Shaw had said earlier about the guest, it was clear to everyone present who Ryan was.


    Ryan was the owner of the RF Group.


    He was the very same Ryan who had been rejected by the Shaw family.


    In the blink of an eye, he was now being treated as an honored guest by the Shaw family, showing no sign of neglect.


    Even if they had to grit their teeth, they would have to ept it.


    The atmosphere was tense and unusual, with no one daring to approach and strike up a conversation easily.


    The members of the Shaw family each had different expressions. Bethany was somewhat excited, Mrs. Shaw was inevitably thrilled, and only Mr. Shaw looked very embarrassed, but he remained silent due to therge number of people present.


    Some nosy individuals moved in to quietly inquire with Mrs. Shaw. "Mr. Frost is here today, is it for your daughter Bethany? Even after being rejected by your family, he still hasn''t let go of Bethany..."


    "Oh dear." Mrs. Shaw, clearly having anticipated this, struggled to hide her joy. "Why bring up the past? I was too impulsive, almost causing Bethany to miss such a good match..."


    "Enough!" Mr. Shaw, not wanting to continue the embarrassment, lowered his voice and interrupted, looking at Ryan. "Mr. Frost, I didn''t expect the RF Group to be your business. It''s truly the younger generation surpassing the older. The younger generation is truly talented, I only hope that in the business world, Mr. Frost will show some mercy towards the Shaw family."


    His words were both a sigh of relief and a show of apprehension towards Ryan.


    It was evident that the Shaw family was struggling to cope with the RF Group''s relentless pressure.


    Ryan cocked his brows but remained silent. Ian smiled and continued, "Mr. Shaw, talking about mercy is unnecessary. When Miss Shaw was pushing her terms, she showed no mercy at all." "Well..." Mr. Shaw nced at his wife and daughter, forcing a smile, and said, "Bethany is young and acted recklessly without much sense. Don''t worry. We won''t bring up the matter of marriage alliances again in the future."


    We stood at a distance, and Jane looked at me with a sneer. "The Shaw family is really adaptable.


    Bethany was the one who bullied you the most, yet no one hase to apologize to you. They''re just fawning over the powerful."


    "A simple apology wouldn''t change anything for me."


    Instead, Ryan''s repeated pressure on the Shaw family and his intercepting of a crucial project had made the Shaw family suffer greatly.


    Mr. Shaw could only express his stance firmly, hoping Ryan would spare the Shaw family.


    Mrs. Shaw, however, seemed unwilling to ept this. She red at Mr. Shaw, "Honey, what are you talking about? Why are you saying we won''t mention the marriage alliance..."


    "Be quiet!" Mr. Shaw, usually refined, was now showing signs of irritation.


    "What did I say wrong?"


    She grabbed Bethany and pushed her toward Ryan, smiling as she exined, "Ryan, the previous engagement was not Bethany''s fault at all. It was just me and her father considering your situation at the time. You were not in a position to talk about marriage, so we took the initiative to break off the engagement. But Bethany has always been thinking about you, and she even wanted toe find you at times. We were afraid she might cause trouble, so we didn''t let her!"
