When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 468 Chapter 469 Chapter 469 Charles arrived at the entrance of the Harris Mansion and knocked on the door. The butler opened up, peering out to see who it was. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Charles. "Mr. Logan?" Charles didn't beat around the bush. "I'm here to see Mr. Harris." 55 vouchers The butler paused for a moment before replying, "Lord Logan is out socializing, but he should be back soon." Charles nodded. "Alright, I'll wait inside then." The butler opened the door wide and let Charles in.

Once inside the main hall, Charles scanned the room, taking in his surroundings before finally settling onto the sofa. The butler, almost tiptoeing around him, asked nervously, "Mr. Logan, would you like something to drink? I can get it for you." Charles replied coolly, "No need." The butler looked a bit taken aback, but didn't press the issue. He knew better than to push Charles. As Charles sat in the living room, he heard the crash of something being smashed upstairs. He figured Troy must be giving Melanie a hard time; otherwise, she wouldn't be smashing things like that.

The butler, hearing the noise, hurried upstairs. Charles couldn't help but let out a cold laugh at the commotion. It wasn't long before Xavier came in from outside. Snow was falling hard, and he brought the winter's chill in with him. As soon as he stepped inside, the snowflakes clinging to his coat quickly melted away. After shrugging off his coat, Xavier strolled over to Charles. "Mr. Logan, what wind blew you in today? Didn't expect you to just show up." Charles didn't say a word in response to Xavier's flattery.

He stood up and said to Xavier, "You'd better keep your daughter under control." Xavier was stunned, his mind short-circuited for a moment. After a while, it slowly hit Xavier-Charles wasn't here for a friendly chat. He was here to call him out. 47 Chapter 469 Xavier looked lost for a moment. "What do you mean, Mr. Logan?" 55 vouchers Charles didn't bother to sugarcoat it. "Melanie went after my wife. Take a guess what I'm here for." Xavier was stunned. "What?" Charles wasn't about to spell it out. "You don't need to know the details.

Just know that from this moment on, the Logan family is going to start pulling out of every deal we have with the Harris family, bit by bit." Xavier's voice was tinged with worry. "Mr. Logan, is there some misunderstanding here?" Charles turned and headed for the door, calling back without looking, "No misunderstanding. She's got it coming." Those words, spoken so lightly, hit Xavier like a ton of bricks. Staring as Charles left the hall, Xavier rushed upstairs without a second thought. When he reached Melanie's bedroom, Xavier was met with a scene of utter chaos.

Stuff was smashed everywhere, and there were random puddles of who-knows-what kind of liquids all over the floor. There was nowhere to step without stepping on something, so Xavier just stepped in, trampling over whatever was in his way. The butler was still in the room, crouched down, trying to clean up the mess. Xavier said to the butler, "You can go. I need to talk to Miss Melanie alone." The butler let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, I'll head downstairs." As soon as the butler left, Melanie burst out crying. Xavier looked down at her, his voice barely above a whisper.

"What did you do to Charles's wife?" Melanie looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears. "Dad, I was just trying to get what I wanted." Xavier knew right away Melanie was behind it. He let out a helpless sigh, then snapped, "You've wrecked everything for the Harris family." Xavier's anger boiled over. "Melanie, do you think you can just have Troy because you like him? I warned you not to throw yourself at him, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what you've done. You've dragged us all down with you. Do you even get that?" Melanie gave a sarcastic laugh at her father's words.

"Weren't you the one who pushed me to go after him in the first place? Now things didn't work out, and you're blaming me?" Xavier was so furious he couldn't help but snap, "Melanie, you really are brainless." Melanie frowned, clearly baffled. "Seriously, Dad, what did I do wrong? Wasn't it you who taught me to fight for what I want?" 47 Chapter 469 55 vouchers Xavier didn't bother to argue. He just let out a heavy sigh. "If your brother were still around, our Harris family wouldn't be in this mess." Melanie's voice cracked, almost desperate.

"So now that I couldn't secure the marriage alliance, I'm useless to you? What am I, Dad-a chess piece, or do I even count as family?" Xavier didn't want to keep fighting with her. He stepped out of the room, then turned back and said sternly, "You're grounded for the next two days. Stay home and think about what you've done. Once you've sorted yourself out, you're going to apologize to Ms. Sullivan." Melanie's anger flared up even more. "Why should I?

I'm not going, not unless I'm dead." Xavier snapped back, "Are you trying to make me drop dead from anger?" Melanie stubbornly repeated, "I don't think I did anything wrong." Xavier didn't want to hear another word. He slammed the door shut behind him. As he stood outside the room, Xavier muttered to himself, "If your brother were still here, Harris would be the top family in Riverdale. There wouldn't be all this trouble with the Logans and Hamiltons." The butler downstairs heard Xavier and Melanie arguing, but had no idea what was being said upstairs.

When Xavier came downstairs, the butler hurried over. "Mr. Harris." Xavier glanced at the butler, his voice hoarse. "Still no news?" The butler shook his head, sounding apologetic. "Sorry, but still nothing." Xavier let out another sigh. "Maybe he's no longer with us." The butler tried to reassure him. "The young master's always been lucky. Someone out there must be looking out for him. Who knows, maybe he's already out there ruling his own turf." Xavier gave a bitter smile. "Let's hope so." The butler supported Xavier as they went downstairs. "Mr.

Harris, there's always hope for a miracle." Xavier managed a wry smile. "Really?" The butler nodded. "Yeah, there is." ****** ***** At the Sullivan Mansion, Teresa had been glued to her phone ever since dinner, waiting for a call, waiting for Troy to come back. But after two hours, there was still no word from Troy. Chapter 469 55 vouchers She didn't reach out to him either. She knew he'd call her when he was done with whatever he was doing. She was scrolling through videos, but her mind was already miles away. Out of nowhere, her phone started ringing.

Teresa didn't even bother to check who was calling before picking up. "Hello?" Her voice practically bubbled with anticipation and joy-anyone could hear it. Suddenly, Charles's voice came through the line. "It's me." When Teresa realized it was Charles calling, her tone went cold. "Is there something you need?" Charles said, "Can you come downstairs? I want to see you." Teresa sounded reluctant. "If you've got something to say, just tell me over the phone." But Charles insisted, "Just come downstairs.

Let's talk in person." Teresa replied coolly, "There's nothing to talk about between us." Worried she'd hang up, Charles quickly added, "Come with me, I'll take care of you." Teresa laughed lightly. "No need." With that, she hung up. Standing at the entrance of the Sullivan Mansion, Charles listened to the busy tone on his phone, and for a moment, he had half a mind to hurl his phone across the driveway. He swallowed his anger, and as he turned around, he found Troy standing right there. Troy walked up with the wind at his back, dressed in a black trench coat.

In one hand, he held a bouquet of flowers, and in the other, an assortment of snacks. Unlike Charles, Troy radiated the kind of happiness that only being in love could give you.
