Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 138 How I Ended Up in Arthurs Room Night fell , and Charlotte strolled through the courtyard , pondering her next move .

She had to get to the bottom of what happened five years ago .

Shed never done what Arthur was accusing her of , and she refused to let him keep holding it over her head .

Ill find the proof and shove it in his face , she thought , then well see what he has to say ! Just then , her phone rang .

She glanced at the screen .

It was Sebastian .

Hey , Seb , she answered , her voice brightening .

1/4 Hey , Lottie , Sebastian replied .

Things are sorted on my end .

You dont need to worry about getting the money together .

Sorted ? Just like that ? Charlotte was taken aback .

Business wasnt her forte , but she knew Arthur had orchestrated this whole mess .

Whether Sebastian recovered from it or not probably came down to a single word from that snake .

That sly , conniving jerk ! she fumed inwardly .

Seb , you need to be more careful with your partnerships and investments in the future Charlotte cautioned her voice heavy Chapter 138 How I Ended Up in Arthurs Roo … Dont worry ! Sebastian assured her .

This has been a harsh lesson , and Ill definitely be more cautious .

2/4 If you could , wouldnt it be better to break away and start your own thing ? Charlotte suggested suddenly .

Sebastian chuckled .

What are you talking about ? Its not that easy to just go independent .

Besides , Mom and Dad are watching my every move .

All I can do is try my best within the Hardwick Group .

Charlotte felt a sense of suffocation .

By marrying into the Harrison family , she solidified the Hardwick familys standing in Lanceser .

She had also tied Sebastian to the Hardwick Group , forcing him to work for them , even though the real power still lay with James .

In her parents eyes , profit trumped everything .

Escaping this situation wouldnt be easy .

Okay , enough of that .

Let me tell you some good news .

Ive got a girlfriend ! When you have some time , Ill introduce you two , Sebastian said with a smile .

Great ! Im free whenever , Charlotte replied , laughing .

If he could marry someone he truly loved , that would be a blessing .

Okay , Ill set a time and let you know .

Chapter 138 How I Ended Up in Arthurs Roo … 3/4 Moonlight bathed the earth , the wind rustled through the leaves , and the sounds of insects and birds filled the air .

Charlotte turned and walked back , texting Diana as she went .

Charlotte : [ Diana , can you find out how I ended up in Arthurs room five years ago ? ] Diana : [ Its going to be tough , but Ill try .

] Charlotte : [ Okay , its okay if you cant find anything .

Ill just have to wing it .

] After all , it had been five years .

The surveillance equipment back then wasnt as advanced as it was now .

She could only hope for the best .

It was getting late .

She returned to the villa , went to her room to shower and change , and then grabbed a storybook and headed towards Mabels room .

But then , a door next to hers opened , and there stood Julius , his slight figure framed in the doorway .

He glanced at the storybook in her hand and said , I want to hear a bedtime story .

Charlotte gave him a cool look .

You have a mother , and you have a father .

You can ask your dad to read to you .

With that , she continued on her way .

But behind her came the sound of tiny footsteps .

She turned to see him following her , a stubborn look on his face .

Chapter 138 How I Ended Up in Arthurs Ro … Ignoring him , Charlotte opened Mabels door , walked in , and closed it behind her .

Julius gripped his pajamas tightly .

He didnt understand .

He had tried to be nice .

Why was she ignoring him ? 4/4 He had rarely had to lower himself like this .

As the young master of the Harrison family , he never had to ask for anything ; everything was brought to him .

He thought motherly love would be the same .

Suddenly , he turned and went back to his room .

He dialed Sarahs number .

Ms.

Miller , can you read me a bedtime story ?
