His expression turned cold and his voice was hoarse. "The shares | gave you are for you to live a better life, not
for you to use as leverage in negotiations with me." "So, Mr. Frost, is that a yes or a no?"
He sneered, speaking with the utmost coldness, "Then you can try it. Whoever you sell them to, I'll make sure
they suffer. If you want to harm someone, feel free to."
He remained obsessively stubborn, almost to the point of being pathological. Threats were a gof who could
sink lower. | couldn't compete with him, and there was no point in saying anything more. Grinding my teeth, |
went to find Jane.
Jane and lan were discussing strivial matters. Seeingarrive, Jane smiled at lan. "Mr. Brown, after the
New Year, when you return to Jelaston, lettreat you to a meal."
"Alright." lan nodded slightly.

After greeting him, | was about to leave with Jane when lan suddenly called out to me, "Ms. Wilson!"
He hesitated before speaking, "Is your divorce with Mr. Frost related to the kidnapping and his engagement to
Bethany?"
I answered honestly, "Yes, but not much."
"In fact, during the kidnapping, Mr. Frost knew the gun was unloaded. The feel and weight of the gun with bullets
would have been different," lan said with ssympathy. "That night when he cback, he smoked the entire
night, saying that you must have been utterly disappointed in him."
| blinked. "I know. He wanted to protect me."
I hadn't known on the day of the incident. But later, he escaped, called off the engagement, and began dealing
with the Shaw family under the nof the RF Group. That was when | knew.
lan sighed in relief but still puzzled. "Then why did you have to reach this point..."
"Because that was just the last straw that broke the camel's back."
| smiled faintly. "So, whether it's a straw or a rose wrapped in straw, it makes no difference."
Inside the banquet hall, there was laughter and joy. We went to the food table to grab sparies, planning to
have a bite and then leave as the event was nearing its end. Shortly after eating, | suddenly started to itch.
Jane noticedscratching my arm and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know why, but I'm itching all over."
At first, it was just an itch on my chest, but soon it spread to the rest of my body. I frowned, "It might be a food
allergy."

Jane lifted my sleeve to check and grew anxious. "It's definitely an allergy, exactly like the one you had in
college. Strange, you didn't eat any yam just now. How are you feeling now?"

"It might be that spastry had yam powder in it."
| grabbed my bag and stood up. "Let's go tell Grandma and leave for now."
"Okay, while it's still early, I'll accompany you to the hospital."
"Okay." | nodded.
Madam Shaw was resting in a separate reception room with the door open, only she and Frank were there,
talking about something. When Frank sawknock, he stopped talking, seemingly taking in what | had said
earlier, and stared at his phone without givingan extra glance.
Grandma tapped his head and looked atkindly. "Charlotte, cand sit."
"It's alright, Grandma."
In front of the hosts, it wasn't appropriate to mention my allergy, which would make it seem like the host's
hospitality was lacking. | simply said, "I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave." "Alright, I'll
arrange a driver..." Grandma's gaze suddenly fell on the rash above my wrist, which wasn't covered by my
sleeve. Her tone changed. "What's wrong with your hand?"
