Chapter 233

I had just turned the doorknob when he grabbed the collar of my

clothes from behind, his voice dark and malicious. “You little bitch! You dare deceive me, huh? Damn it, I’ll show you!”

“No, please…”

But no matter how I struggled, that one moment had drained all my strength, and I could only let him drag me towards the bed.

“Listen, is someone arguing in there?”

Suddenly, a refined middle–aged man’s voice came from the corridor outside.

“Oh… Dad, they’ve booked a room at the hotel, it’s normal for young couples to argue. Let’s go quickly, I just informed the restaurant to prepare our meal…”

The man holding onto me instantly turned menacing, realizing I had unlocked the door.

He threw me to the ground and reached to close the door, but someone pushed it open from outside!

A pair of gleaming gentleman’s shoes appeared in front of my eyes, then the gaze moved slightly upward to a pair of long legs clad in trousers.

Thinking it was the middle–aged man who had spoken just now, I rushed over without hesitation, pleading, “Please, save me… I didn’t come here to book a room with anyone. I don’t know this person!”

“Charlotte?”

Suddenly, a voice, incredibly familiar and pleasant, rang out from above!

I lifted my head and collided with Ryan’s deep black eyes. I suddenly

relaxed completely, my vision momentarily blurred. But the next moment, I saw Bethany and her family appearing alongside him.

The man who had spoken earlier turned out to be Ben.

I felt incredibly embarrassed, stepped back, choked back tears, and leaned against the wall, supporting my weakened body.

Bethany covered her mouth in apparent shock, grabbing her mother’s

arm.

“Oh my god, you just got divorced and you’re already booking a room with a man?”

Her words instantly alerted the crew–cut man.

He glared at me angrily, looking deceived, and slandered me. “So you just got divorced? I take it that you feel lonely and need someone to satisfy you.”

My palms trembled with fear. I was about to retort when Ryan’s voice turned icy cold as he turned to Gary.

“Take him away and find a way to make him talk!‘

With that, he took off his coat and wrapped it around me, then lifted me in his arms. He looked at Ben. “Mr. Shaw, I’m afraid our dinner won’t happen today.”

‘I understand. Deal with your personal matters first.” Ben nodded understandingly, but when his gaze fell on me, there was a moment of confusion.

Bethany immediately pulled at her mother’s clothes, her eyes red but no tears. “Mom…*

Simone naturally felt sorry for her daughter, glanced faintly at Ryan.” Mr. Frost, have you thought this through? This dinner today is crucial for the cooperation between the Frost and Shaw families.”

Ryan looked coldly at Simone,.“I’m sorry. But my wife is more important.

“You need to weigh your options carefully. Without the Shaw family, the Frost family’s situation…”

“No need to worry, Mrs. Shaw. I will handle it!”

Ryan’s expression was cold as he carried me away, leaving with long strides. The gaze behind me made me shiver.

He walked briskly, not putting me down even after getting into the car.

He glared at my slightly disheveled clothes, suppressing his anger, “Did he touch you?”

I shook my head, my voice trembling. “Almost.”

It was really close.

If it weren’t for Jessica’s intense hatred towards me, wanting to capture something on camera and leaving it there, I might have resigned myself to fate.

Ryan’s eyes were sharp. “Do you know who did this?”

“Jessica, but it wasn’t just her.”

His jaw tightened dangerously, his eyes narrowing dangerously,” Anyone else?”

I shook my head reluctantly.

I didn’t know who else it could be, maybe Bethany, or maybe someone else.

He made a call to Gary, his voice as cold as the ice. “Once he talks, throw him and Jessica into that room they booked today!”

“Isn’t that…”
