Chapter 191
His eyes turned cold instantly, his voice lowering as he warned, “Charlotte, I’ve noticed you’re getting
bolder. We’re not divorced yet.”
“I know.” I raised my head. “People come and go. What can he and I possibly do?”
“Come home with me!”
He remained as domineering as ever, grabbing my hand and preparing to leave.

I tried to shake him off, but then he said, “He and Bethany were summoned by Mrs. Renolds. Do you want to freeze out here?”
His implication was that Jack might not show up for a while.
gave up struggling. After all, I also had something to discuss with Ryan tonight. “Let go, I can walk on my
own.”
He acted as if he hadn’t heard me.
And so, I was dragged all the way to the car by him.
Feeling somewhat annoyed, I sent a quick WhatsApp message to Jack, letting him know I was leaving early. Rather than waiting until I got home, I started playing the video and handed my phone over to Ryan.
Ambiguous and provocative sounds immediately filled the car!
The driver, probably thought we were watching something exciting, discreetly raised the partition.
Ryan didn’t look at the phone screen but stared at me. “Are you starting to watch this kind of thing now?”
“Keep watching.”
My arms were tired from holding up the phone, so I shoved it into his hands.
As the recorded voices of the stepfather and stepdaughter came through the phone, Ryan’s face turned ice cold!
The words captured were utterly unbearable to hear.
Moreover, the ones saying those words were none other than his father and the woman he loved!
Ryan glanced at me with a chilling gaze, then his fingers began operating on the screen.
“Deleting it won’t help.”
This was something I had anticipated long ago. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to hand the phone over to him. “I’ve already backed it up.”
After finally obtaining this evidence, I couldn’t afford such a basic mistake.
However, apart from coldness, I couldn’t discern any other emotions from his face.
He threw the phone aside, his eyes hiding deep secrets. “Delete it yourself. Don’t keep such dirty things on your phone.”
I turned to look at him, carefully gauging his feelings. “Ryan, aren’t you angry?”

“Are you disappointed?”
His eyes turned icy. “Charlotte, I’m not stupid. I don’t need you to throw this kind of evidence in my face.”
I widened my eyes. “Could it be that you knew about it a long time ago?”
“More or less.”
Ryan’s ambiguous reply left me clicking my tongue. “So you’re really pitiful and yet you’re so tolerant.”
“What am I tolerating?”
“Didn’t you see the leading woman in the video? It’s Jessica…”
“I’m not blind nor deaf.” He looked at me as if I were an idiot. “After my mother passed away, weren’t there still those unclear and confusing matters with him? Whether it’s Jessica or some other woman, it makes no difference to me as long as it’s not my mother.”
