"The paternity test results are out." | felt a bit helpless.
He was confident. "There must be something wrong with the paternity test. Charlotte, maybe | might mistake
someone else for her."
This "someone else" was clearly a reference to me.
He continued in a calm tone, "But | definitely wouldn't fail to recognize her."
| pressed my lips together. "That's a matter between you and the Shaw family. Frank, let's keep sdistance."
| really didn't want to invite trouble.
With that, | avoided looking at his expression and pulled Jane into the banquet hall.
Though the welcparty was organized on short notice, it was far from perfunctory.
The lights were dazzling and the setting opulent, clearly a high-society affair.

After taking a drink from the waiter's tray, Jane looked at me, somewhat surprised. "You've never been so
ruthless before?"
"Con." | smiled helplessly. "Even the dullest person learns from their mistakes. Besides, the situation now is
different from before."
"How is it different?"
"Before, | was already deep in love. The process of extricating myself was painful and difficult."
| couldn't forget the sleepless nights | had endured. "Now, I'm still standing at the edge of the pit and | haven't
suffered any costs, so | can remain very rational.”
Someone who has just experienced failure doesn't easily fall for another person.
Jane sighed, and we saw Madam Smith signaling us to cover and introduce us to sof the ladies nearby.
"You were askingif I've changed tailors recently. Well, this young lady here-don't let her youth foot you. She's
very talented in designing, and her craftsmanship is no worse than those seasoned masters. The stitches and
lines don't look like they were done by a young person."
"Madam Smith."
Jane and | greeted her with smiles. Jane, being more skilled in socializing, praisedand the Charlotte Jewelry
to the noble ladies, half honestly and half flatteringly.
Everyone, regardless of status, was interested in ordering a few custom-made outfits.
Ordering clothes was one thing, using the opportunity to get closer to the Smith and Shaw families was another.
During the conversation, a noble lady smiled and said, just heard that today the owner of the RF Group will be
here. | wonder how old he is. My youngest daughter is still single."

"Don't get your hopes up."
Another noble lady, who was familiar with her, said, "The RF Group is on a roll. Besides the Frost family, they've
acquired several companies in the blink of an eye. The owner's skills are impressive. Not to mention whether you
can reach them, even if you do, you'll find they're not easy to deal with."

The former Frost Group had already dominated half of Jelaston.
With the recent maneuvers, Ryan's worth had multiplied many times over. The gap in connections with noble
families was seemingly covered by absolute financial power.
If anything, it might be even more pronounced.
In such a short time, the Shaw family's attempts to leverage influence were clearly futile.
Otherwise, why would Mrs. Shaw be so eager to build a connection?
"What are you talking about," Mrs. Shaw, regaining her usual demeanor, smiled as she interjected. "It's not as
scary as you make it out to be. Besides, even if you want to make a move, it's too late!"
The first noble lady who spoke asked, "Are you trying to do something for your daughter, Bethany?" "Let's not
talk about it." Mrs. Shaw looked proudly, as if she was already the wife of the RF Group's owner. "Originally, only
the CEO was coming tonight, but once the owner knew that Bethany was personally going to pick them up, he
changed his plans and decided to cas well. Isn't that an obvious answer?" We silently walked away. Jane,
relishing the moment, whispered, “Do you think she'll look pleased when she finds out the owner of the RF Group
is Ryan?"
"Mrs. Shaw, Miss Bethany has returned with the guests!"
Before | could speak, a servant hurried in to report to Mrs. Shaw.
