Frank noticed her too and frowned slightly, then looked at me and said quietly, "Charlotte, I have some business to discuss with Mr. Frost. Can you check on why Jane hasn''te up yet?"


    "Okay." I nodded, left straightaway, and called Jane while waiting for the elevator.


    Anyone could see the undercurrents between these two formidable figures.


    Ex-husband, current boyfriend...


    Anyone who dared to approach them at that moment would consciously steer clear and give them space.


    Frank pressed his tongue against his cheek, clearly ready to erupt but reluctant to cause a scene in front of his future mother-inw. He sneered and said, "Mr. Frost, can we have a word in private?" "Sure." Ryan looked at Charlotte''s distant figure, his fingers slightly curled.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    He had expected that Charlotte might show some emotional reaction with another woman around him. To his surprise, she didn''t seem to care at all!


    It was as if, for her, the past was simply the past.


    To her, he was just an ordinary ex-husband now.


    He followed Frank to the fire exit, and before he could say anything, Frank''s fist came at him!


    Caught off guard, Ryan took the blow squarely on his face, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He didn''t retaliate, only licked the corner of his mouth, tasting the strong iron vor. "Mr. Frost!"


    The dull thud startled Gary, who was waiting outside the fire exit, almost making him burst in.


    "It''s fine!" Ryan lifted his eyelids, as if he didn''t feel the pain, and looked at Frank with a smile. He taunted, "What''s the matter? I find a substitute and she doesn''t care, so why do you?" As soon as he finished speaking, another punchnded on his face.


    It was the same ce on the other side of his face.


    Frank gripped Ryan''s cor tightly, his eyes zing with anger. "You didn''t cherish her when you had the chance, so why make things worse now?"


    He could see at a nce that the woman was deliberately ced to provoke Charlotte


    As a man, he was very aware of Ryan''s intentions.


    Ryan curved the corners of his lips and pushed Frank away. "I''m doing as I please, Frank. If you''re have the guts, then let here and talk to me." Frank red at him fiercely, with tension in the air. "Do you think I''ll let your issues dirty her eyes again?"


    "Then it''s none of your concern."


    Ryan adjusted his tie. "Whether I find a substitute or wait for the right moment to get her back, it all depends on my mood!"


    Outside the fire exit, Gary looked at the bruises on his boss''s face with a mix of astonishment and


    uncertainty.


    "Boss, how did this happen? Do we need to go to the hospital?"


    Ryan replied indifferently, "No need."


    Diana saw the injuries on his face and tightened her grip in distress!


    As soon as she saw that woman in the banquet hall, she understood why she was qualified to be Ryan''spanion today. The two of them looked alike.


    And now, the esteemed Mr. Frost had been beaten like this and still didn''t seem to care.


    The reason...


    Was likely because the person who hit him was the woman''s current boyfriend.


    If examined closely, it would indeed have an impact on Charlotte.


    Thus, he preferred to settle things quietly.


    Diana looked at Ryan with some surprise. She didn''t expect such a high-ranking man to have such a deeply emotional side!


    As soon as I met up with Jane and Zachary, I returned to the banquet hall, and the celebration dinner was just starting.


    Yasmin, in a ck evening gown, stood on the stage, delivering the opening remarks with ease andposure, clearly improvising.


    But it didn''t matter; everyone would certainly show their support.


    At the end, Yasmin''s gaze shifted, finally focusing on me. "Lastly, I have a very happy announcement to share with everyone. Charlotte is my newly acknowledged goddaughter."


    "At the same time, she is also the founder of the recently popr brand, the Charlotte Jewelry, Elena. I hope everyone will give her more support in the future.'' The crowd erupted in astonishment!


    A girl who had earlier supported Bethany eximed in shock, "Elena, the international, renowned designer whose private orders are booked up until next year?"
