Chapter 138 How I Ended Up in Arthurs 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 .
Shed never done what Arthur was accusing her of , and she refused to let him keep holding it over her head .
Ill find the proof and shove it in his face , she thought , then well 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 .
1/4 Hey , Lottie , Sebastian replied .
Things are sorted on my end .
You dont need to worry about getting the money together .
Sorted ? Just like that ? Charlotte was taken aback .
Business wasnt 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 Chapter 138 How I Ended Up in Arthurs Roo … Dont worry ! Sebastian assured her .
This has been a harsh lesson , and Ill definitely be more cautious .
2/4 If you could , wouldnt it be better to break away and start your own thing ? Charlotte suggested suddenly .
Sebastian chuckled .
What are you talking about ? Its 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 familys 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 wouldnt be easy .
Okay , enough of that .
Let me tell you some good news .
Ive got a girlfriend ! When you have some time , Ill introduce you two , Sebastian said with a smile .
Great ! Im free whenever , Charlotte replied , laughing .
If he could marry someone he truly loved , that would be a blessing .
Okay , Ill set a time and let you know .
Chapter 138 How I Ended Up in Arthurs Roo … 3/4 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 Arthurs room five years ago ? ] Diana : [ Its going to be tough , but Ill try .
] Charlotte : [ Okay , its okay if you cant find anything .
Ill just have to wing it .
] After all , it had been five years .
The surveillance equipment back then wasnt 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 Mabels 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 .

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 Arthurs Ro … Ignoring him , Charlotte opened Mabels door , walked in , and closed it behind her .
Julius gripped his pajamas tightly .
He didnt understand .
He had tried to be nice .
Why was she ignoring him ? 4/4 He had rarely had to lower himself like this .

Suddenly , he turned and went back to his room .
He dialed Sarahs number .
