Chapter 114
This was my first time being so stubborn and assertive in front of Ryan, demanding something so forcefully.
He looked somewhat surprised, his gaze shifting to my side, and what he said next was even
colder. “Whether you can wait or not, you have no choice/S
“Fine.” I nodded lightly and continued calmly, “Then I will let everyone know that the Frost family is rotten to the core, so rotten that even a mistress can step on the head of the legitimate wife! Let’s see how you justify this to your recently departed grandfather!”
At the mention of his grandfather, he suddenly froze.
Seemingly realizing belatedly, what his grandfather detested most was his unclear relationship with Jessica!
It wasn’t clear whether he was thinking of his grandfather or worrying about Jessica’s reputation.
Finally, Ryan swallowed hard, suppressed his emotions, glanced at Jessica, and said coldly.” Your friend will stay in a regular ward, that’s settled!”
Jessica still resisted, “Ryan…”
Ryan cut her off with a headache. “Enough with the unreasonable behavior!”
So he knew that Jessica was the unreasonable one.
I didn’t want to think too much. Overthinking would only make me feel worse. I spoke calmly, Thank you, Mr. Frost. I’ll go arrange for Aunt Laura to be moved up here.”
At the mention of “Aunt Laura,” he furrowed his brow slightly, but remained silent with a cold expression.
I suppressed my own emotions and looked at Jack, “Jack, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Jack nodded slightly, and we left together.
Downstairs, I found Aunt Laura’s ward with ease. Bob was smoking at the door.
“She can move to the VIP ward now, on the 16th floor.”
I walked over and stated the outcome plainly.
Honestly, I couldn’t muster any positive feelings toward Bob. The less said, the better.
Bob immediately smiled satisfactorily, the smell of smoke clinging heavily to him. He chuckled. “Mrs. Frost’s identity is quite useful. She just fell asleep. I’ll go wake her up and get

her moved.”
I frowned. “Let’s wait until Aunt Laura wakes up
“Sure, that works too.”
He stubbed out his cigarette on the ground and waved towards Bradley at the ward entrance, Your sister’s down here, why don’t you come out?”
Wondering why he wanted Bradley to come out, I saw him pat Bradley’s shoulder and casually say, “Your cousin just graduated. His previous internship was at a small company with no future. Can you arrange for him to join the Frost Group as a design department director or something?”
I found this headache–inducing. “I’ve already resigned from the Frost Group. Besides, I don’t own the company, so I can’t just place him wherever.”
“Charlotte.”
