Outside the private room, Charlotte Riley overheard Zac Gibson say, “Charlotte is gorgeous, no doubt. But the reason I pursued her? She reminded me of Wendy Cooper. For years, I was just searching for traces of Wendy in her.” That night, she finally made the call she had been avoiding for years. “Dad, I’m ready. I’ll come home and go through with the engagement.” Later, when Zac saw Charlotte at a high-society gala—elegant, untouchable, and more dazzling than ever—only then did he realize the truth. And he completely lost it. * The night Charlotte walked away from her family’s arranged marriage, Sean stood by the window, swirling his wine, his expression unreadable. “Lottie, one day, you’ll come back to me willingly.” Rumor had it that Jersey City's most powerful heir, Sean Jasper, was cold, reserved, and indifferent to women. Charlotte believed it. Until she realized just how intense and unwavering his devotion truly was beneath that composed, self-restrained facade.

The blond thug raised his other hand, ready to charge again—only for Charlotte to flip him over her shoulder and slam him onto the ground. She pressed the heel of her stiletto against his face, as if crushing an insect. “That's all you've got? Go
Charlotte raised a brow. “So… she wanted the Jasper family to adopt Vivian?” Lena shook her head and leaned in slightly, lowering her voice. “Not just that. She asked Mrs. Jasper to promise that Sean would marry Vivian one day.” Charlotte’s eyes widened in shock. “No way. Seriously?” Mia’s voi
Charlotte frowned. “No.” Zac’s voice turned oddly stiff. “Let’s not fight, okay? I’ve been thinking about you these past few days. I was wrong that night. I shouldn’t have said those things and upset you.” “It’s fine,” Charlotte said, her tone indifferent. “It doesn’t matter anymore. We’ve alrea
A refined, elegant woman entered the room, looking to be in her mid-thirties. Sean gestured toward her. “Lottie, this is the restoration expert I told you about—Louisa Sinclair.” Charlotte’s eyes lit up with surprise. She had expected some elderly craftsman, not a stunning woman with an effortle
“Charlotte, you finally made it.” Ian was the first to greet her, flashing a grin. “Three years later, and somehow, you’re even prettier.” Mia rolled her eyes. “God, could you be any more cringe?” Ian clicked his tongue, feigning offense. “Excuse you, this isn’t cringe. It’s called having social
Sean’s expression remained cold and unreadable. “They broke up. He’s her ex.” Ian raised an eyebrow. “And that doesn’t bother you?” Sean played his card with a casual flick of his wrist, his tone indifferent. “Who doesn’t have a past? Haven’t you ever dated someone before?” Ian scratched his n
Wendy sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled out her phone. “Look, Zac,” she said eagerly, showing him the screen. “I found this great travel guide for our trip. We can do a road trip, hire two drivers, and explore at our own pace. Silverridge is huge, so driving will be way more convenient. A
By the time Zac’s driver dropped him off at the villa, it was already past 3 a.m. He stumbled into his bedroom, collapsed onto the bed, and passed out immediately. The next time he opened his eyes, it wasn’t because he woke up naturally. It was because of the pain. “Charlotte, my stomach hurts
“Really?” Wendy asked eagerly. “I want to go to Silverridge first. The scenery at Lake Kessler is breathtaking this time of year.”Lake Kessler.Something about that name sounded oddly familiar.Oh. Charlotte had mentioned it before. She had talked about wanting to travel there during the Octobe
When Charlotte Riley arrived at the bar to pick up Zac Gibson, she paused at the doorway when she overheard the conversation inside.“Zac, Wendy Cooper is back.
