The next day, the sun rose as usual, and online rumors continued to spread. 

Even a few of the youngsters at the company now looked at me with added curiosity. 

Jane had come to my house last night to return my bag and phone, and she was full of self–reproach. She had reported the incident right away, but everyone shrugged it off when they heard it was the Shaw family. In short, without concrete evidence, nothing 

could be done. 

She said she was experiencing firsthand the benefits of power and the helplessness of ordinary people. She regretted not breaking up with He Ting earlier. Even if she had become a mistress, she would have had some recourse when I was in trouble yesterday. 

She was utterly foolish. 

At that moment, she walked into the office with two cups of coffee, placing one in front of me and sitting down in the chair across from me. Her expression was almost the same as it was last night. 

As I continued sketching the design for Madam Smith, I asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Who upset you?” 

After hesitating, she dropped the bombshell. “The Frost Group has declared bankruptcy” 

My brush skidded off the paper, and I was momentarily stunned. 

“Bankruptcy?” 

Just yesterday, they were engaged to the Shaw family, and today they’re bankrupt? There was no sign of it at all. 

“Yes, they had a financial difficulty.” 

Jane nodded. “The announcement was made five minutes ago. I estimate the Shaw family must be in shock. There are already people moving in to acquire shares at a low price. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Ryan will probably… be left with nothing soon.” 

I picked up my phone and found the news she mentioned. In just this short amount of time, it had already exploded online. 

The bankruptcy of the Frost Group meant that there would be a shift in power for Jelaston. 

What would happen to Ryan? He was used to standing at the top of the pyramid. How would he handle the sudden fall?

I furrowed my brow, feeling that things couldn’t be this simple. “How could it suddenly gó bankrupt?” 

“It seems it’s related to a research project that consumed a large portion of their funds, but there has been no visible result so far. Coupled with a series of recent events, many collaborations fell through, and they just couldn’t acquire enough funding,” explained 

Jane. 

“It’s still strange.” 

In terms of emotions, there was no trust left between Ryan and me. However, I knew what he was capable of, and it was impossible for things to reach this point. He was always cautious, always left room for maneuver. 

A silent bankruptcy was not his style. 

“What’s strange? It’s not impossible for someone who’s been so bad to get their comeuppance.” 

Jane rested her chin on her hand, continuing to feed me the big scoop with a sense of schadenfreude. “Do you know who Ryan is most likely to sell his shares to?” 

“Who?” 

“The RF Group.” 

Jane sent me the news she found online. “Someone dug up that he and lan have been privately negotiating recently.” 

She expressed a bit of glee at my expense. “Who would have thought that your ex- husband would end up in such a similar predicament to ours?” 

The RF Group was a colossal conglomerate. Once they absorbed the Frost Group, they would quickly replace them as the leading power in Jelaston. It was surprising that they were making such a big move right after entering the domestic market. 

They were ambitious. 

After Jane left, I looked out through the French window at the towering buildings that seemed to reach the sky. This building, which had stood firm for so many years, was about to change its ownership and identity. 

My phone suddenly rang, which caused me to come back to my senses. 

It was a call from Jack. 

I answered with a smile. “Senior.”
