Sean sat in the observation area, watching Charlotte in her element. A surge of pride filled his chest, admiration and affection brimming in his eyes. His Lottie was incredible. After the trial, he handed her a bottle of water. “Here, drink some.” “Thanks.” She took a few sips before saying, “

If it weren’t for Mrs. Coleman, Charlotte wasn’t sure she would have made it through. To her, Mrs. Coleman wasn’t just a caretaker, she was family. Even though Charlotte had cut off contact with Desmond over the past three years, she still called Mrs. Coleman on holidays to check in. Rememberi

The blow wasn’t lethal, but the humiliation was. 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

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
