She exerted tremendous force, her meticulously manicured nails digging deep into my skin, burning with a fiery pain.
Hearing her words, Jane’s face changed instantly. She wanted to rush forward to pull me away, but Jessica held onto my wrist tightly, refusing to let go.
Her
reyes were almost crazed, tainted with a coldness. “Didn’t you understand? I told you to call Ryan.”
“Okay.” Jane hesitated because of my pregnancy, not daring to forcefully pull me away. She had no choice but to compromise. “I’ll call him now, just let go of Charlotte.”
“No way!”
Jessica dragged me out of the shopping center, walked a bit further, and in front of us was the bustling main road with cars passing by.
I recalled the sight of Ryan covered in blood last time, feeling a chill down my spine.
Jessica… she might really be capable of dragging me into something as extreme as dying together.
Jane’s face turned pale. She had already dialed the phone. “Don’t be impulsive, don’t hurt Charlotte.”
“Put it on loudspeaker.”
Jessica raised her chin slightly. Jane dared not disobey her now, immediately putting it on speaker.
Soon, Ryan answered. “Hello?”
*Ryan! Charlotte and I are at the shopping center opposite the company. Come over quickly!”
“What happened?”
Ryan’s voice instantly turned serious, footsteps faintly audible.
Fearful of upsetting Jessica, Jane simply said, “You’ll know when you get here, at the gate number 8.”
“Five minutes.”
After giving a time frame, Ryan added, “I’m getting on the elevator now. I’ll hang up, wait for
me.”
After the call ended, Jessica squinted at me and smirked mockingly. “Are you happy to hear how worried he is about you?”

I had never seen someone so unreasonable. I struggled to free my wrist, but her expression grew more ferocious. I could only relent and say, “Jessica, you’re still pregnant, please calm
down…”
“How can I calm down?” she retorted sharply. “Now that you’ve firmly secured your position as Mrs. Frost, you can afford to tell me to calm down. If it were you, could you stay calm?”
I lowered my head. “I’m not…”
“You’re not what?”
She completely dropped her pretense, pressing aggressively. “You were supposed to divorce him. Why are you not divorcing now? Charlotte, I thought after Grandpa passed away, we had no more obstacles, and I could marry Ryan. But now, why has everything turned out like this?”
“Ryan!”
