Chapter 203
It seemed like the person who readily agreed to my terms yesterday wasn’t him.
I was somewhat annoyed and at a loss. “Didn’t you agree not to let anyone else know for now?”
“Huh?” Frank frowned. “I agreed not to let anyone know you were spying and recording.”
‘Fine. So he had done nothing wrong after all. Was it just that I hadn’t been clear enough?‘
“Do you have a grudge against the Frost family?”
“No.” Frank looked at me, perplexed. “Can’t you understand vicious business tactics? After being with Ryan for three years, hasn’t he taught you any of this?”
I couldn’t help but pause.
His straightforwardness was both frightening and intriguing because of his second question.
I squeezed my palms and replied honestly, “No.”
After being by Ryan’s side, what had he taught me? Independence, tolerance, patience, devotion…
Besides treating each other with respect, we had no unnecessary exchanges. He never discussed matters of fame and profit with me.
This time, Frank seemed taken aback. He cocked his brows and seemed interested. “You’re quite an interesting person.”
“Aren’t you interesting too?” I smiled ambiguously. “Playing business games with Ryan on one hand and telling his wife on the other. What’s your goal?”
He adjusted the coat on his arm and said, “If I’m not mistaken, our goals in this matter should be the same, right?”
“How are they the same?” I almost laughed. “You’ve ruined my plans. Do you realize that?”
“I ruined your plans?” He sounded incredulous.
“If
you had delayed a few more minutes before revealing everything, I would have smoothly obtained the divorce certificate.”

He frowned. “Weren’t you divorcing because of that woman named Jessica? Didn’t my actions help you?”
Once again, I was speechless. “I want a divorce. Man, I don’t need your help. I just want the divorce.“. Leaning against the railing, arms crossed, he looked at me with a hint of surprise in his eyes. “Do you really want a divorce?”
“Yes, absolutely,” I responded without hesitation.
Since the moment we lost our child, there was no possibility left between Ryan and me, no bonds whatsoever. His help and care during our university days and the debt he owed me over these past three years canceled each other out.

With no debts owed, divorce was the only path left.
But I wasn’t surprised that others wouldn’t believe I truly wanted a divorce.
After all, as someone without parents or a strong family background, marrying into the Frost family was already a stroke of luck. How could I willingly divorce and give up such a bright future?
