The people present exchanged glances, with some having their mouths hanging open in shock.
After all, Frank and Ryan were both significant figures. No one there was unafraid of them.
Everyone tacitly understood that the Harrison family was finished!
Carrie was stunned, glancing between Frank and Ryan, unable to utter a word of pleading. In the next moment, she suddenly looked at me with a pale face, panic–stricken, and said, “Ms… Ms. Wilson… I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have looked down on you or insulted you. Please, hit me if you want, just please!”
She was nearly in tears, no longer concerned about the dignity of a young lady. “I really know I was wrong. I beg you, please let Mr. Smith and Mr. Frost spare my family… I came here hoping to collaborate with Ms. Jackson, but instead, I’ve brought trouble to my family. My father will kill me!”
Yes, I knew she wasn’t exaggerating.
In such families, children, who enjoy wealth and power must also pay the corresponding price. If they not only fail to benefit the family but also lead it to ruin, the consequences were predictable.
Frank glanced at me, likely seeing my soft–heartedness. He looked at Carrie and said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Miss Harrison, are you trying to play the moral game with my fiancee? Do you think someone as ruthless as me would have a better partner?”
I was momentarily speechless.
There was no need to create such a persona for me!
Although many say that two people in the same bed cannot be of different types, there are also people who say that couples or spouses are complementary to each other.
Carrie knew the situation was irreversible, and her fingers were trembling.
Her phone suddenly rang. When she saw the caller ID, her eyes widened. “Hello, Dad…”
“Get back here immediately!”
It seemed someone familiar with Mr. Harrison had informed him of the situation. On the phone, Mr. Harrison was furious and spoke sharply.
Carrie left in a flurry.
Bethany was left alone. Unbothered, she smiled nonchalantly. “What, are you going to make the Shaw family go bankrupt? I’m not afraid!”
She wasn’t afraid because she knew that neither Frank nor Ryan would take such extreme measures.
Frank’s eyes were cold and mocking as he said, “It’s a pity that you’ve been raised by the Shaw family for over 20 years, but you’re no different from a thug.”
His words were as harsh as ever.
Bethany gritted her teeth. “Frank!”
“Miss Shaw, right?”

Chapter 516
The security guard who had earlier informed Frank stepped forward. “Ms. Jackson instructed that you must leave immediately! Otherwise, we will have to call the police!”
Everyone’s eyes on her turned with a sense of disdain.
Bethany shot me a resentful glare and, as she passed by me, said in a low, cold voice, “Charlotte, just wait and see! My mom says she has ways to deal with you! Don’t think you can always be with Frank. Make the most of your time now!”
I was slightly stunned, and by the time I reacted, she had already stormed off.
Looking at her retreating figure, I couldn’t calm my emotions…
Simone… was definitely not someone to be underestimated.
But by now, what trump card could Simone still have?
