Chapter 185
“Am I slandering him?”
I could see the anger in his eyes.
Seeing how easily he got angry now, I suddenly felt relieved both physically and mentally. “Isn’t it true? Ryan, you told me that evidence is needed for everything.”
With that said, I walked towards the room.
Behind me, the man suppressed his anger, uttering two words through gritted teeth, “Six o’clock.”
“Got it!”
I didn’t look back
The reason I agreed wasn’t because of him, but because I thought of the scene where Jack was beaten in the ancestral hall that day. Suddenly, I hoped that if Sally embarrassed him again tonight, I could stand by him for once.
For once, it was my turn to help him.
After all, with the status of Mrs. Frost, it was unnecessary not to use it.
After taking a shower and tidying up in my room, I put on an exquisite makeup.
For such occasions, being elegant and dignified was enough. Therefore, when choosing a dress, I opted for an embroidered little black dress that ended at the knees, revealing a slender and straight calf.
At six o’clock, not a minute early or late, I appeared downstairs in high heels.
Hearing movement, Ryan raised his head and cast a glance at me, a hint of astonishment crossing his eyes. He stood up. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The driver had already parked the car at the door and quickly got out to open the door when he saw us.
I got into the car first and moved to the innermost seat, looking out the car window..
Silent all the way.
Approaching the Renolds family, he suddenly handed me a jewelry box. “For you.”
I took it and opened it to see a necklace with a green gemstone, obviously valuable and more suitable for today’s attire than the one around my neck. Without hesitation, I took off the original necklace and put on the new one.
But as I tried to fasten it, I couldn’t see properly and falled several times.
Suddenly, a pair of dry hands took the necklace from me, fiddling behind my neck, causing me to shiver with goosebumps.
I couldn’t help asking, “Is it done yet…”
“It’s done.”

Just as I finished asking, Ryan let go of his hand. The green gemstone hung delicately on my collarbone, gently swaying.
In the moment he withdrew his hand, I caught a glimpse of his wrist. I pursed my lips. “Doesn’t it hurt?”
Ryan smirked nonchalantly. “Not really.”
