Sitting in the car, Charlotte could not help but recall Griffith's words, which made her furious. She arrived at the private banquet alone. It was only 10 o'clock in the morning, but many rich ladies had arrived. Charlotte headed to the private room on the first floor where Nora had booked a private spa session for the ladies.The room fell silent as Charlotte walked in, quelling the previously lively atmosphere. Sensing something was amiss, Nora who was in the middle of her spa session opened her eyes and saw Charlotte. She pressed her lips and said indifferently, "Oh, you're here."Charlotte nodded in response.Nora waved her hand and said, "Why don't you join the spa session as well."Charlotte smiled and declined politely, "I'll just have something to drink instead." She did not want to redo her makeup after all.Nora thought she was being petty; no wonder she could not fit in this circle. Charlotte sat down and decided to scroll through her phone to kill time. However, as soo

Chapter 23 I'm Going to the Restroom!

Griffith was dressed in a suit, with a long blackcoat draped over him. Seeing Charlotte was surrounded, he furrowed his brow. He took off his coat and casually handed it to Arthur before approaching her. The gossiping in the surroundings ceased as soon as he arrived. Ally's imposing demeanor was instantly overshadowed by his presence. Based on her expression, she was obviously feeling nervous. At this moment, Nora came over and recounted what had happened. Then she glanced at Charlotte and said displeasingly, "Is it too much to ask her to apologize to little Billy to placate him?"Griffith glanced at Charlotte and asked, "Did you hit him?""No," she replied.Nora furrowed her brow. Before Ally could voice out, Griffith preempted her."Since both parties have conflicting claims, Arthur, go check the surveillance footage.""Yes, Mr. Griffith.""Wait a minute," Nora furrowed her brow and said, "Is it even necessary to check the surveillance footage over such a small matter?""A m

Chapter 24 If I Were You, I'd Kill Myself

"I'd also act ignorant if I were Charlotte Scott. It's not easy to climb up the social ladder, so who would willingly give it up?""That's true."Charlotte walked into the restroom with a calm expression and looked at the two women who were having a conversation. They were startled to see her presence while she smiled, seemingly unafraid at all.After an awkward moment, the two women exchanged glances and walked out of the restroom quietly. However, just as they approached the door, one of them deliberately said, "Hey, did you see what she's wearing?""I can't believe she's willing to wear that."Charlotte furrowed her brow. She took out her phone and took a picture of her earring and did a search on the internet but could not find any information about it. She was naturally frustrated after being treated as a joke. After freshening up herself, she left the restroom.As she reached the hallway, she met an acquaintance. Feeling irritated, she wanted to turn around but the acquaint

Chapter 25 It's Only A Few Million Dollars

Sitting alone in the lounge, Charlotte clutched the earrings tightly. The quietness actually calmed her down. She closed her eyes and cursed Griffith countless times in her mind before consoling herself. As the evening banquet was about to begin, she recollected herself and returned to the venue. Many prominent figures were attending the evening banquet.She composed herself and saw Griffith sitting in the front row. She straightened her back and walked casually over, and sat next to him. Griffith glanced at her and ignored her. The state of their relationship was well-known among the guests, so nobody dared to sit near them. They both sat in silence until it was time for Nora to deliver an opening speech. She briefly said a few words and then invited tonight's special guest.Katie Hussey appeared in a white gown with a classic open-back design, showcasing her stunning figure. All the wealthy ladies present could not help but feel nervous while glancing at their husbands. However, th

Chapter 26 Griffith Will Divorce Her Sooner or Later

Griffith grabbed Charlotte's hand. She instantly realized that the message he received was most likely from Katie Hussey. She would be embarrassed if she failed to bid the set of purple jewelry back; that was why she had asked Griffith to stop Charlotte from bidding."Miss Katie has bid $10.5 million. Mrs. Wilson, do you want to raise the bid?" the auctioneer asked. The crowd whispered among themselves.Charlotte tried to pull her hand away, but Griffith held it firmly."Can't I buy a piece of jewelry I like?" she said.He looked at her and said, "Is this really about the jewelry, or is it just to compete with her?""No matter what, don't I have the right to do so?" She looked at him and smiled mirthlessly, "Griffith, I don't want to lose to her with so many people watching."He furrowed his brow and pressed his lips."Help me just this one time," she said bitterly.They looked at each other in silence for a moment. Griffith shifted his eyes to the LED screen. When the auctio

Chapter 27 At Worst We Will Be Forced to Death

The tense atmosphere was palpable inside a Bentley parked at the roadside. Arthur and the chauffeur did not even dare to make a sound. Griffith loosened his tie in the back seat and said solemnly, "All this for that set of jewelry?"Charlotte smiled mirthlessly and said, "You think I'm being unreasonable?"Griffith furrowed his brow and replied impatiently, "I told you, if you want the jewelry, I'll find you another set. What else are you dissatisfied with?""I'm dissatisfied with everything!" She looked at him and asked, "You bought that set of jewelry for her, didn't you?"Griffith remained silent.Charlotte closed her eyes and leaned heavily on the seat, feeling a pathetic sense of despair. She was completely drained and could not care less about expressing her thoughts. Nothing mattered anymore since she had already demanded a divorce. Today's confrontation should not have stirred her emotions. She should have rationally retrieved what rightfully belonged to her.After taking

Chapter 28 Eli, the 'Jack of All Trades'

9 o'clock at the Garden of Eden, a luxurious club owned by Isabella Kensington, a well-known socialite in the city. The plan tonight was to entertain Eli, but unexpectedly, he brought Griffith along.A woman brought a bottle of hard liquor and filled the glasses on the table before Griffith as she said, "Griffith, are you in a bad mood?"Griffith leaned against the sofa. His gloomy expression was a prominent warning to leave him alone. With Charlotte's erratic behavior that happened two hours ago still constantly replaying in his mind, no wonder he was bitter. Eli was sitting across from him. He smiled and teased Griffith, "Bella, don't provoke him. He's probably been fighting with the missus at home and has nowhere to vent his anger."Griffith glanced coldly at Eli."So, I guessed it correctly," Eli could not help but laugh. He then gave Isabella a hint with his eyes.Isabella understood and said, "I'll go get some fruits."After Isabella left the room, Eli said, "I just came fr

Chapter 29 Sue Him? I'm Broke

Charlotte returned to Ava's apartment. After showering, she sat in front of a desk, treating the wound on her ear. She seemed distracted by her thoughts while Ava was sitting on the edge of the bed, ranting endlessly."That Katie Hussey is such a whore! Who does she think she is?! Is she that proud of herself for being a mistress? Hell, shame on her!""Don't get me started on Griffith Wilson as well! That son of a g*n! Did he think he could become so powerful without your grandfather's contribution? Despicable!"The more she spoke, the angrier she got. Then she looked at Charlotte and asked, "Hey, are you going to sue him?"Charlotte snapped back to her senses and looked at her. "Sue him?""Yeah.""With what? I'm broke. It was just a bluff. It would be best if he's willing to divorce," Charlotte said.Ava sighed. She knew with William being hospitalized and his final exam around the corner, Charlotte could not possibly cause a scene, or else the members of the Scott Family would

Shortly after, she received a message from Arthur.Arthur: [Mrs. Wilson, I will pick you up at ten o 'clock in the morning.]Charlotte: [Alright.]Things seemed to be finally settled. Strangely, she felt more at ease and slept through the night compared to the last time. In the morning, she put on a set of casual clothes and went down. Arthur came to pick her up, and they headed over to the City Hall. They did not enter the main hall and went directly to an office on the first floor instead.Slightly puzzled, Charlotte saw Griffith was already waiting in the office along with two men dressed formally. They were most probably his lawyer and staff of the City Hall. It seemed like this time, they were really getting a divorce.She sat beside Griffith and said, "Let's
