After leaving Jeffrey, Charlotte felt very much at ease. She began to feel that she had a goal in life. When everything was settled here, she would take Mrs. Berry and the children to Yaleview.
She would leave the complicated life in this city and start a new life.
As the taxi stopped and waited at the red light, Charlotte accidentally saw the Divine Corporation building on the roadside. The oversized electronic billboard was showing the press conference that day…
On the screen, Zachary’s charming and handsome face attracted the attention of many passers-by while the beautiful Sharon captivated in her own way.
It was especially true when she looked at Zachary with her affectionate gaze which made everyone feel that they were a match made in heaven!
Probably the news of their marriage would be broadcast later…
A bittersweet smile appeared on Charlotte’s face and she experienced a myriad of emotions beyond description. She recalled the night Zachary protected her so desperately and all that happened between them.
The past flashed before her eyes and her heart felt like a roller coaster.
Sometimes, she wondered if she still had any feelings for him.
As the car continued its journey, Charlotte retracted her gaze but out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a familiar figure.
Not far away, parked by the roadside, was the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Surrounded by several bodyguards, Zachary got into the car.
Then the car moved onto the road.
Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat and she shrank back hurriedly while at the same time, she covered her face with her hands for fear of being noticed by Zachary.
He had dismissed her and had not contacted her in these two days. Most probably, he had wanted a clean break.
In that case, she would just keep out of his sight.
Perhaps it was best for them never to meet again.
“A luxury car is a luxury car. It picks up speed so fast.” The taxi driver sighed as he looked at the Rolls-Royce Phantom moving away, “Ah, when will my little junk become a Rolls-Royce.”
Charlotte did not say anything. She sat up, stared blankly at the image of the Phantom fading away in the distance…
In her mind, she could not help wondering if he would really marry Sharon.
Quietness descended upon the car.
Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Zachary subconsciously turned around and looked in her direction. Somehow, he felt that someone’s eyes were on him.
Yet, when he looked around, there were no familiar cars.
Perhaps, it was just some passers-by who admired him.
Zachary’s focus returned into the car and he continued to check the information sent by Bruce. There was a highway surveillance clip which proved that after Sharon left the airport that day, she did not go directly to Divine Corporation but drove to the outskirts of the city.
Then, the scene in the suburbs were all recorded on the dash cam…
A doctor was waiting there and handed her a small bottle of liquid. He told her that it would happen ninety minutes after she drank it and instructed her to pay attention to monitor the time…
Sharon asked, “Nothing untoward would happen, right?”
“Don’t worry. The dose I am giving to you is very small. Although you will vomit blood, fainted, and get gastrointestinal cramps during the attack, the effect will be over in an hour. When you come back, I will treat you again. After a few days, you will be completely fine.”
“Nevertheless, Zachary is very observant. He can see through any tricks I try on him.” Sharon was rather hesitant.
“Let me teach you a method,” the doctor whispered. “This medicine is like ink. You can suck it into the ink reservoir of a pen, so he won’t find it.”
“That’s a good idea,” Sharon nodded, “remember to keep this secret. If it leaks out, you’re done for!”
“Of course. We are in the same team now.”
“To success!”
As she got into the car, Sharon asked her assistant, “Are you sure Charlotte is at the company today?”
“Yes, I just called to confirm she has already arrived at the company,” the assistant answered, “Don’t worry, she will be taken down at one fell swoop today.”
“That’s great.”
