Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 42 I Have to Do Something Just then , Barretts phone rang .

He grabbed it quickly , his hand trembling slightly .

Before leaving , hed sent a message to Arthur , saying hed uncovered a huge secret .

Barretts eyes flickered as he answered the call .

Hey , Arthur .

Whats up ? Arthurs voice was low and cold , just like always .

Barrett laughed lightly .

Nothing , just wondering where you are .

How about grabbing a drink ? Arthurs tone grew sharper .

Sarah was in a car accident .

Im at the hospital .

omething 2/7 Barrett immediately stiffened .

How bad is she ? Is she okay ? Arthurs voice remained even but with a touch of exhaustion .

She fractured her leg .

If youre free , you can come by .

Theyd been friends for years , so this wasnt out of the ordinary .

Alright , Im on my way .

Barrett hung up quickly , keeping the secret to himself .

But he couldnt help but wonder why Charlotte didnt tell Arthur she was Ms.

Aroma .

Then he remembered Arthurs feelings for Sarah and sighed .

Barrett thought , It is not my problem anyway .

$ In the private room , Charlotte was tipsy , her cheeks flushed , and her throat sore from talking , but no more tears fell .

She had spilled everything : five years of frustration , numbness , and the heartache of loving someone who never saw her .

Evie , listening in , was practically in tears herself .

She couldnt believe Arthur treated Charlotte like a stand in for Sarah , and she almost wanted to confront him herself .

Charlotte stopped her with a hand .

Dont … Calm down .

Wait until I divorce him , then you can do whatever you want .

Evie flicked Charlotte lightly on the forehead .

Whats wrong with you ? I take ething 4/7 him out now , and then you inherit all his money .

Charlotte , half drunk , nodded slowly .

Hmm , thats true .

Her head fell onto the pillow , and she was asleep in no time .

Evie and Diana helped her to the bed in the inner room , tucking her in carefully .

Evie made it clear that no one was allowed to disturb her .

I cant just let this go , Evie said , her fists clenched .

Shes been through so much .

I have to do something .

Diana raised an eyebrow .

Youre really going to go up against Arthur ? Are you insane ? 5/7 Evie cracked a small , mischievous smile .

Just a little sabotage .

I need to make him regret it .

Otherwise , Ill explode from all this frustration .

Diana frowned .

Be careful .

Arthur is dangerous .

Evie nodded , grinning .

Dont worry .

Ill keep it subtle .

***** The next few days , Charlotte stayed at home , consumed by perfecting her perfume .

Shed stopped pressuring Arthur about the divorce , deciding she needed some space to clear her head .

If she faced him too soon , she might lose control .

6/7 And in the end , it would only make things worse for her .

Then , one day , her phone rang .

It was Arthur .

She hesitated before answering .

Charlotte thought , Could this be it ? Is he finally ready to talk about the divorce ? Hello ? Charlotte said .

Arthurs voice was cool , almost indifferent .

Evie is your friend , right ? Charlotte stood up , alarmed .

Whats going on ? Dont you dare do anything to her ! She was completely caught off guard and thought , Why is he asking about Evie ? 7/7 Arthurs tone didnt change .

Come to Night Club .

And just like that , the line went dead .

He wanted to talk face to face .

Charlotte hurried to Night Club , her heart in turmoil .

When she entered the private room , she saw Arthur lounging on the sofa , looking unfazed .

Meanwhile , Evie was being held by two bodyguards , her face twisted with anger as she shot him a furious glare .
