Frank noticed her too and frowned slightly, then looked at me and said quietly, “Charlotte, I have some business to discuss with Mr. Frost. Can you check on why Jane hasn’t come up yet?”
“Okay.” I nodded, left straightaway, and called Jane while waiting for the elevator.
Anyone could see the undercurrents between these two formidable figures.
Ex–husband, current boyfriend…
Anyone who dared to approach them at that moment would consciously steer clear and give them space.
Frank pressed his tongue against his cheek, clearly ready to erupt but reluctant to cause a scene in front of his future mother–in–law. He sneered and said, “Mr. Frost, can we have a word in private?”
“Sure.” Ryan looked at Charlotte’s distant figure, his fingers slightly curled.
He had expected that Charlotte might show some emotional reaction with another woman around him. To his surprise, she didn’t seem to care at all!
It was as if, for her, the past was simply the past.
To her, he was just an ordinary ex–husband now.
He followed Frank to the fire exit, and before he could say anything, Frank’s fist came at him!
Caught off guard, Ryan took the blow squarely on his face, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He didn’t retaliate, only licked the corner of his mouth, tasting the strong iron flavor.
“Mr. Frost!”
The dull thud startled Gary, who was waiting outside the fire exit, almost making him burst in.
“It’s fine!” Ryan lifted his eyelids, as if he didn’t feel the pain, and looked at Frank with a smile. He taunted, “What’s the matter? I find a substitute and she doesn’t care, so why do you?”
As soon as he finished speaking, another punch landed on his face.
It was the same place on the other side of his face.
Frank gripped Ryan’s collar tightly, his eyes blazing with anger. “You didn’t cherish her when you had the chance, so why make things worse now?”
He could see at a glance that the woman was deliberately placed to provoke Charlotte
As a man, he was very aware of Ryan’s intentions.
Ryan curved the corners of his lips and pushed Frank away. “I’m doing as I please, Frank. If you’re have the guts, then let her come and talk to me.”
Frank glared at him fiercely, with tension in the air. “Do you think I’ll let your issues dirty her eyes again?”
“Then it’s none of your concern.”
Ryan adjusted his tie. “Whether I find a substitute or wait for the right moment to get her back, it all depends on my mood!”

Outside the fire exit, Gary looked at the bruises on his boss’s face with a mix of astonishment and
uncertainty.
“Boss, how did this happen? Do we need to go to the hospital?”
Ryan replied indifferently, “No need.”
Diana saw the injuries on his face and tightened her grip in distress!
As soon as she saw that woman in the banquet hall, she understood why she was qualified to be Ryan’s companion today.
The two of them looked alike.
And now, the esteemed Mr. Frost had been beaten like this and still didn’t seem to care.
The reason…
