Felix believed his words were well-reasoned and justified, but the next second, he saw Ryan nod dismissively. "You have a point."
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Ryan''s expression darkened as he extinguished the cigarette butt. "I''ll break one of your legs for this, and then we''ll consider it over."
Felix suddenly clung to Ryan''s leg, pleading desperately. "Mr. Frost, I''m sorry! I shouldn''t have been so blinded. Please spare me..."
The leg injury he had sustainedst time in Jeswood had not fully healed, and now he was about to lose another leg!
Realizing that pleading with Ryan was futile, he turned ton for help. n,n! Help me, I''m begging you..."
"Serves you right."
Diana, pale-faced, felt the stark division of social sses in the world!
Felix could easily manipte her.
But in front of Ryan, he was treated like a dog.
With such amotion, Ryan lost interest. He stood up and, halfway to the door, nced back at Diana, as if lost in thought.
He instructedn, "See to her."
"Got it."
Having known and worked with Ryan for many years,n understood the implied meaning.
He arranged for Diana''s amodation to prevent Felix getting revenge on her.
Knowing Diana was here for her mother''s surgery, he transferred her to St. Heart Hospital and charged it to thepany''s ount. After all, this was Ryan''s promise.
Anything Felix could provide, they could provide as well.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
The next day, as soon as Ryan stepped into the CEO''s office, Gary knocked and entered, holding an invitation.
"What''s this?" asked Ryan.
"It''s an invitation to a celebration banquet sent by Yasmin. It''s scheduled for next Wednesday."

Gary handed over the invitation. "The messenger is waiting at the reception for your reply. Will you attend?
"I will." Ryan didn''t even open the invitation, simply responding to Yasmin''s name.
Gary sighed inwardly, understanding the real reason behind the president''s attendance. "Mr. Frost, maybe
it''s better to skip it?"
Ryan sneered. "Are you telling me what to do, or am I telling you?"
"I''ll tell the messenger that you will be attending." Gary made a hasty exit.
In Jeswood, the Cloud Vi.
Joanne, having received news from her subordinates, looked at Yasmin, who was busy at the central ind, and said, "RF has responded. Mr. Frost wille." "Good."
Yasmin kneaded cranberries into the dough. "What about Scarlet? Did Christine notice anything unusual?"
"No."
Joanne shook her head. "She hasn''t noticed yet. Our people have already cut the power and entered her room while she was away."
The moment Christine left for the show, Yasmin entered her bedroom.
Strangely, there was not a single strand of hair on the bed, the floor, or even the bathroom. It was unbelievably clean, and the maid said she hadn''t had time to clean it yet.
Yasmin was immediately suspicious, wondering if she had already discovered something. The more she discussed it with Joanne, the more she felt something was off, eventually finding a bug under the desk in the study.
To avoid arousing suspicion, they didn''t tamper with the bug. But when sending someone to retrieve hair from the show crew, they were extremely cautious and had cut the power in advance.
Even if there were cameras in the room, the phone wouldn''t receive alerts about someone entering.
Because of this, Christine''s identity became even more suspicious...
Yasmin nodded, her eyes showing a hint of coldness. "That''s good."
"By the way, why did you think of inviting Ryan to the celebration banquet?"
Joanne was puzzled. "We don''t have any current or intended projects with him, do we?"
Typically, celebration banquets are for internal executive staff and partners with deep coborations.
Yasmin, patiently shaping the dough into attractive forms and cing them on the baking tray, said, "No, but he''s the former husband of Charlotte''s child."
"You mean..." Joanne realized, during the celebration banquet, the results of the paternity test would be avable.
As a biological mother, it''s only natural to take care of the scumbag ex-husband while she was at it!
