“The paternity test results are out.” I felt a bit helpless.
He was confident. “There must be something wrong with the paternity test. Charlotte, maybe I might mistake someone else for her.”
This “someone else” was clearly a reference to me.
He continued in a calm tone, “But I definitely wouldn’t fail to recognize her.”
I pressed my lips together. “That’s a matter between you and the Shaw family. Frank, let’s keep some distance.”
I really didn’t want to invite trouble.
With that, I avoided looking at his expression and pulled Jane into the banquet hall.
Though the welcome party was organized on short notice, it was far from perfunctory.
The lights were dazzling and the setting opulent, clearly a high–society affair.
After taking a drink from the waiter’s tray, Jane looked at me, somewhat surprised. “You’ve never been so ruthless before?”
“Come on.” I smiled helplessly. “Even the dullest person learns from their mistakes. Besides, the situation now is different from before.”
“How is it different?”
“Before, I was already deep in love. The process of extricating myself was painful and difficult.”
I couldn’t forget the sleepless nights I had endured. “Now, I’m still standing at the edge of the pit and I haven’t suffered any costs, so I can remain very rational.”
Someone who has just experienced failure doesn’t easily fall for another person.
Jane sighed, and we saw Madam Smith signaling us to come over and introduce us to some of the ladies nearby.
“You were asking me if I’ve changed tailors recently. Well, this young lady here–don’t let her youth foot you. She’s very talented in designing, and her craftsmanship is no worse than those seasoned masters. The stitches and lines don’t look like they were done by a young person.”
“Madam Smith.”
Jane and I greeted her with smiles. Jane, being more skilled in socializing, praised me and the Charlotte Jewelry to the noble ladies, half honestly and half flatteringly.
Everyone, regardless of status, was interested in ordering a few custom–made outfits.
Ordering clothes was one thing, using the opportunity to get closer to the Smith and Shaw families was another.
During the conversation, a noble lady smiled and said, just heard that today the owner of the RF Group will be here. I wonder how old he is. My youngest daughter is still single.”

“Don’t get your hopes up.”
Another noble lady, who was familiar with her, said, “The RF Group is on a roll. Besides the Frost family, they’ve acquired several companies in the blink of an eye. The owner’s skills are impressive. Not to mention whether you can reach them, even if you do, you’ll find they’re not easy to deal with.”
