Chapter 178

I saw him furrow his brows subtly. “Do I look like I’m picking a fight for no reason?”

That was hard to say.

I found the two of them annoying. I didn’t even want to step out of the building. I turned back towards my room and said, “You’d better get her out of here, or I’m leaving.”

Unexpectedly, before I could even enter the room, Jessica came running up, “Ryan, look at this, that Charlotte…”

Her words abruptly halted when her gaze landed on me

I didn’t want to see her, but since she had mentioned me directly, I looked over. “What’s wrong with me? Seems like you’re really concerned about me.”

“You… what are you doing here? You’re so shameless. Even after divorcing, you still come to the Frost family…“–

She tried to conceal it, but I could still hear the jealousy and resentment in her tone.

“Jessica!” Ryan’s face turned cold, “I don’t want to remind you for the third time that she is s

my wife.”

I calmly responded, “Between him and me, we’re still lacking a divorce certificate. Morally and legally, you are more suitable to be at the Frost family than you think. Since you say I’m shameless, what does that make you? What’s even worse than being shameless?”

“Scumbag!”

Jessica glared at me, sniffed lightly, and raised her chin. “Whether it’s Ryan or Dad, they are the true members of the Frost family and the closest people to me! Who do you think I am then?”

Thinking about what I saw at the hotel yesterday made my stomach churn. I said ambiguously, “I’m not sure about Ryan, but I know you’re very close to Dad.”

After seeing yesterday’s scene at the hotel, could you not be intimate?

I said this deliberately to provoke and test her.

Perhaps out of guilt, a trace of panic flashed across her small face. She covered it up with anger and questioned uncomfortably, “Charlotte, what do you mean? Are you trying to slander the relationship between my father and me? Why are you so dirty–minded?”

Originally, I was only 90% sure of the relationship between her and my father–in–law. As for the remaining ten percent, she provided the answer herself.

But now, I wouldn’t act rashly without solid evidence.

I frowned and then smiled brightly. “What are you talking about? Isn’t Dad the one who dotes on you the most as his stepdaughter? I just said you two are close, what’s wrong with that…”

Seeing her slightly strange expression, I exaggeratedly covered my mouth, “Do you think I’m implying that you and Dad have… that kind of relationship? Heavens, how could you think of such a vulgar and mind- boggling thing!”

“Charlotte!”

Jessica shouted angrily, before she could fully erupt, Lauren came out of the elevator. “Jessica! Why are you arguing with Ms. Wilson over such trivial matters? You get worked up over every little thing, just like a child. You should learn from Ms. Wilson, be calm, and not show your emotions!”

On the surface, it sounded like praise for me, but in reality, it was telling Ryan how naive Jessica was and how calculating I could be.

I really hope that when I throw the evidence of Jessica sleeping with her husband in front of her, she’ll still defend Jessica like this.

I looked at her with a faint gaze. “You woke up just yesterday, and today you’re bouncing around like nothing happened. You have such good physical condition, not at all like someone who has been in a coma for so many years.”

Originally, it was just a casual remark, but unexpectedly, she avoided the subject a little.

Could it be that she had actually woken up long ago? But she waited for the right moment, when Ryan felt most indebted to her, to speak up for Jessica…”
