Wife Back 90
Chapter 90 Remember Wrong
Emily scowled. "What does your camera getting soaked have to do with us?" Charlotte turned her gaze to Ethan with a half-smile. “So, it's your doing then?"
Ethan's face was ashen, his glare sharp as a knife. "It's got nothing to do with me. Go ahead and call the police."
"If you insist." Charlotte pulled out her phone and dialed the police without hesitation.
Ethan clenched his fists. This incident truly had nothing to do with him, as he wasn't the one who spilled the water.
Brittany observed the scene and frowned. Noticing Emily's evasive expression, she rapped her knuckles on the table. "What's going on?"
No one responded.
The car had no cameras, and the water could easily have washed away fingerprints. Even if they found out who did it, the culprit could claim it was an accident rather than intentional. At most, they'd be liable for compensation.
This was no big deal to them. It was just a slap on the wrist.
Charlotte glanced at them coldly. Without another word, she reported the incident.

camera.
Among the group, the driver was the first to crack. Nervously, he stammered, “I.....
I was chatting with Ethan. I got thirsty and took a sip of water. I didn't mean to spill it. I swear it was an
accident!"
Charlotte said calmly, "My camera is worth two million dollars. It's completely ruined now. Just pay me back in full."
Ethan's face twisted in disbelief. "Didn't you say earlier it was 700 thousand dollars?"
Charlotte blinked. "Did I? I must've remembered wrong. It's two million dollars. I can show you the receipt if you'd like."
Ethan's expression turned grim. He thought, "Seven hundred. thousand dollars is manageable, but two million would drain more than half of my savings!"
The driver panicked at Charlotte's words. "I'm just a driver! Where would I get that kind of money?"
Charlotte smiled slyly, "So, are you sure it was an accident?" The driver glanced nervously at Ethan, only to see him avoiding eye
contact.
Realizing Ethan had no intention of backing him up, the driver blurted out, "It was him! He told me to pour water on Charlene's camera bag and promised me 20 thousand dollars afterward. I let greed get the better of me, but I swear, I'll never do it again!"
"You son of a..." Ethan exploded in rage. He hadn't expected the driver to sell him out so easily. He lunged forward to strike, but

"You're acting this bold in front of us? Come with us!" one of the
police officers said.
Ethan was shoved into the police car, his hands cuffed.
Charlotte told Ethan, "You have one week to pay me back. Otherwise, I'll take you
to court. Do you think anyone will still work with you if word gets out?"
Ethan let loose a string of curses, only to be silenced by the
officers.
The meeting room fell quiet..
Emily's face turned pale. Avoiding Charlotte's gaze, she slipped
out.
Still processing everything, Brittany sighed, "I never thought he was like that. No talent, just dirty tricks. I won't be working with him again."noveldrama
Charlotte smiled faintly, "Well, that wraps this up. I'll leave then. See you the day after tomorrow."
"See you," Brittany replied.
Leaving the magazine office, Charlotte and Diana got into the car, ready to grab some food.
But before they could go, Diana's phone rang. Glancing at the screen, Diana raised her eyebrows. "It's Arthur's assistant."
Charlotte arched an eyebrow in surprise. "What's she calling your for?"

Diana answered the call and switched it to the speaker. "Hello, Ms. Johnson. Is there something you need?"
Grace replied, "Ms. Ortiz, I heard Charlene is back. The
Harrison Group would love to collaborate with her. May I know when she would be available for a meeting?"
