Ryan Richard's voice plunged into Charlotte Thompson's ears, causing her to stop in her tracks just when she was about to turn and leave.
Noticing Charlotte's reaction, Ryan became even more agitated. Finally, he tried to break free from the bodyguard's grip beside him, but Jack Bryant didn't give him the chance, still having him tightly restrained.

Ryan's gaze remained fixed on Charlotte's face, seemingly with a confident resolve.

Ryan had already planned that if he could get money from the Allen family through Charlotte this time, it would all be over; if not, he would expose the fact that he was Charlotte's ex-boyfriend.
With those photos in his hand, just a bit of exaggeration would definitely allow him to make a hefty sum from Charlotte.
After all, he and Charlotte had been together for several years; he knew some things.
