Chapter 362 Later, Khloe had mentioned to Charlotte that Clarice genuinely wanted to team up with Oscar, which proved that what Ethan had said was true. Using Ethan wouldn't be easy. Charlotte knew she couldn't rely on his fleeting interest in her, so she needed a more forceful approach. She needed a shock-something to make Ethan completely caught up in her, even if only for a short while. She wanted him to feel the sting of being toyed with. And if that failed, at least she could study him, discover his weaknesses, and help her friend get revenge.
Charlotte had collected all she could on Ethan-his exploits, rumors, and personality traits. She had analyzed him roughly: a habitual flirt, self-absorbed, proud, competitive, but never truly loyal to a woman. The harder someone is to handle, the more obvious their weak points. Ethan fit that description perfectly. He had wandered through countless women, indulging without restraint. That only proved he craved emotional stimulation-he needed intense feelings to keep himself engaged.

His pride and competitiveness only reinforced this: the more he desired but could not attain, the longer his focus would remain fixed. Charlotte had studied psychology in college. Though she had little practical experience, her theoretical knowledge was solid. So that morning, when receiving Winnie at the office lobby, she made sure Ethan noticed her emotions. Later, as he passed the project department, she casually mentioned an evening engagement. Every movement he made, she watched closely.
He was highly sensitive to a woman's figure and clothing, so Charlotte had deliberately dressed to catch his attention. If Ethan followed her, her plan would succeed. If he didn't, she wouldn't have come alone to meet Leonard. Now that Ethan was outside, the next act of her plan could unfold. "Charlotte, I'm sorry. My friend had something come up at the last minute." Leonard stood and walked toward her, eyes scanning her outfit with satisfaction. Charlotte, a junior employee with looks to spare but no flashy style, was far more restrained than her appearance suggested.
In other words, quietly alluring. "But Leonard, didn't you say you'd introduce a project lead to me? I came during work hours. If this isn't appropriate, I'll need to go back..." Charlotte took two steps back, her voice soft and gentle. Her refusal sounded like a delicate invitation to anyone listening. "Oh, you're already here, why go back? Take the day off, I'll cover your salary. Let's eat together, and I'll drive you home tonight..." Leonard's voice grew warmer as he reached to pull her close. Charlotte reacted immediately, forcefully pushing 1/2 Chapter 302 +25 Bonus his arm away.
"Leonard! Show some restraint! I'm leaving!" She pivoted toward the suite door, only for Leonard's assistant to step in first at a glance from him. "Knock-knock-knock-" At that moment, urgent knocking sounded. Leonard's attention wavered. Charlotte feigned confusion, adding to the tension. But the knocking grew louder, turning from polite knocks into a violent battering. As Ethan lifted his leg, preparing to kick the door open, the assistant finally swung the suite door wide. Ethan froze for a moment, but with his leg already extended, he couldn't pull back.
Without hesitation, he drove a kick straight into the assistant's lower abdomen, sending the latter crashing to the floor. 日 Comments Support Share Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
