Wife Back 138
Chapter 138 How I Ended Up in Arthur's 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. She'd never done what Arthur was accusing her of, and she refused to let him keep holding it over her head.
"I'll find the proof and shove it in his face," she thought, "then we'll 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.
"Hey, Lottie," Sebastian replied. "Things are sorted on my end. You don't need to worry about getting the money together."noveldrama
"Sorted? Just like that?"
Charlotte was taken aback. Business wasn't 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

"Don't worry!" Sebastian assured her. "This has been a harsh lesson, and I'll definitely be more cautious."
"If you could, wouldn't it be better to break away and start your own thing?" Charlotte suggested suddenly.
Sebastian chuckled. "What are you talking about? It's 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 family's 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 wouldn't be easy.
"Okay, enough of that. Let me tell you some good news. I've got a girlfriend! When you have some time, I'll introduce you two," Sebastian said with a smile.
"Great! I'm free whenever," Charlotte replied, laughing.
If he could marry someone he truly loved, that would be a blessing.
"Okay, I'll set a time and let you know.'

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 Arthur's room five years ago?]
Diana: [It's going to be tough, but I'll try.]
Charlotte: [Okay, it's okay if you can't find anything. I'll just have to wing it.]
After all, it had been five years. The surveillance equipment back then wasn't 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 Mabel's 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 Arthur's Ro... Ignoring him, Charlotte opened Mabel's door, walked in, and closed it behind her.
Julius gripped his pajamas tightly. He didn't understand. He had tried to be nice. Why was she ignoring him?
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 Sarah's number. "Ms. Miller, can you read me a bedtime story?"
What do you think?
