Chapter 1596 Acceptance
The two bodyguards immediately tried to hold Bruce down, but he effortlessly repelled their attempts and beat them up.
Bruce was fuming with anger. After hearing that Chris wanted to meet Charlotte at Sultry Night, he immediately rushed to the place, knowing that Chris would try to coerce Charlotte by using the child as leverage.
However, he was taken aback when he saw the scene upon his arrival. Consumed by anger, he felt indebted to Zachary. Right then, all that he wanted to do was to strangle Chris to his death.
Charlotte was extremely nervous. Initially, she wanted to quietly settle the matter. But much to her dismay, Lupine and Bruce managed to find out before she could execute her plan.
The matter had since turned even more complicated.
Besides, she could not explain herself as it would only exacerbate the issue.
“Bruce, do you have a death wish? I’ll grant your wish!” Chris pulled out his gun and pointed it in Bruce’s direction.
At that moment, his nose was still bleeding. His eyes and face were bruised from the hit.
Bruce had humiliated him in front of everyone, especially Charlotte, and he could not let this slide.
“Kill me if you dare.” Bruce wasn’t terrified by Chris’ threat. “You ungrateful dog!”
Chris placed his finger on the trigger, ready to fire any moment.
“Stop.” Charlotte ran between them to stop the matter from escalating. “Please, let’s just move on, for my sake.”
“Ms. Lindberg, you don’t have to be afraid of him!” Bruce uttered agitatedly. “You don’t have to make compromises.”
“Enough.” Charlotte frowned before saying coldly, “As a bodyguard, you are way out of line. I’m your boss.”
Bruce was stunned as he never expected Charlotte to say such things.
“Leave.” Charlotte gestured. “Stop causing a scene here.”
“Get him out of here!” Chris impatiently ordered.
“Yes.” Two bodyguards immediately restrained Bruce and chased him out.
Chris checked his watch and said to Charlotte, “The bodyguard from the Gold family is arriving soon. Let’s have a chat first?”
“All right.” Charlotte shared the same thought.
“Ms. Lindberg…” Lupine quickly held onto her arm. She said anxiously, “No matter the reason, you must not sacrifice yourself.”
“Wait for me outside.” Charlotte pushed her away and entered the private room with Chris.
Lupine and Jade were enraged at the thought of Charlotte’s circumstances. Their anger turned into sorrow as tears started streaming down their cheeks.
After entering the private room, Charlotte took the initiative to shut the door and switch on the lights.
Chris picked up the shirt on the floor and wore it casually before Charlotte.
At that moment, Charlotte was trying to recollect her thoughts. Her initial plan was to settle the matter quietly, but Lupine and Bruce’s appearance had complicated the matter.
Nonetheless, their reaction made it look even more convincing.
After all, the reaction from Bruce and Lupine was genuine.
“We cannot keep this matter under wraps any longer.” Chris wore his pants. “Jesse, that sly fox, has been spying on us all this while. Soon enough, he will find out that I’m sleeping with you.”
“Are you thinking of going back on your word?” Charlotte’s eyebrows knitted together. “If that’s the case, I’ll bring you down with me.”
“I will definitely hold up my end of the bargain.” Chris turned around and looked at her, and his gaze was flirtatious and seductive. “I will fulfill my promise to you and find out where your son is. But whether he can be saved, that is on you.”
“Are you speaking the truth?” Charlotte was reluctant to believe him.
“Of course. Do you really think I like being controlled by that old sly fox?” Chris rolled his eyes at her. He then passed her the divorce papers. “I will help you save your son, but you must sign this document.”
Charlotte stared at the document, hesitant to oblige. Nonetheless, she knew very well that signing the document was mandatory, as everything was under the fox’s control…
Once she signed the document, she could go on the offensive and try to secure an opportunity for herself.
