Whats up ? Arthurs voice was low and cold , just like always .
Barrett laughed lightly .
Nothing , just wondering where you are .
How about grabbing a drink ? Arthurs tone grew sharper .
Sarah was in a car accident .
Im at the hospital .
omething 2/7 Barrett immediately stiffened .
How bad is she ? Is she okay ? Arthurs voice remained even but with a touch of exhaustion .
She fractured her leg .
If youre free , you can come by .
Theyd been friends for years , so this wasnt out of the ordinary .
Alright , Im on my way .
Barrett hung up quickly , keeping the secret to himself .
But he couldnt help but wonder why Charlotte didnt tell Arthur she was Ms.
Aroma .
Then he remembered Arthurs feelings for Sarah and sighed .
Barrett thought , It is not my problem anyway .
$ In the private room , Charlotte was tipsy , her cheeks flushed , and her throat sore from talking , but no more tears fell .
She had spilled everything : five years of frustration , numbness , and the heartache of loving someone who never saw her .
Evie , listening in , was practically in tears herself .
She couldnt believe Arthur treated Charlotte like a stand in for Sarah , and she almost wanted to confront him herself .
Charlotte stopped her with a hand .
Dont … Calm down .
Wait until I divorce him , then you can do whatever you want .
Evie flicked Charlotte lightly on the forehead .
Whats wrong with you ? I take ething 4/7 him out now , and then you inherit all his money .
Charlotte , half drunk , nodded slowly .
Hmm , thats true .
Her head fell onto the pillow , and she was asleep in no time .
Evie and Diana helped her to the bed in the inner room , tucking her in carefully .
Evie made it clear that no one was allowed to disturb her .
I cant just let this go , Evie said , her fists clenched .
Shes been through so much .
I have to do something .
Diana raised an eyebrow .
Youre really going to go up against Arthur ? Are you insane ? 5/7 Evie cracked a small , mischievous smile .
Just a little sabotage .
I need to make him regret it .
Otherwise , Ill explode from all this frustration .
Diana frowned .
Be careful .
Arthur is dangerous .
Evie nodded , grinning .
Dont worry .
Ill keep it subtle .
***** The next few days , Charlotte stayed at home , consumed by perfecting her perfume .
Shed stopped pressuring Arthur about the divorce , deciding she needed some space to clear her head .
If she faced him too soon , she might lose control .
6/7 And in the end , it would only make things worse for her .
Then , one day , her phone rang .
It was Arthur .
She hesitated before answering .
Charlotte thought , Could this be it ? Is he finally ready to talk about the divorce ? Hello ? Charlotte said .
Arthurs voice was cool , almost indifferent .
Evie is your friend , right ? Charlotte stood up , alarmed .
Whats going on ? Dont you dare do anything to her ! She was completely caught off guard and thought , Why is he asking about Evie ? 7/7 Arthurs tone didnt change .
Come to Night Club .
And just like that , the line went dead .
He wanted to talk face to face .
Charlotte hurried to Night Club , her heart in turmoil .
When she entered the private room , she saw Arthur lounging on the sofa , looking unfazed .
Meanwhile , Evie was being held by two bodyguards , her face twisted with anger as she shot him a furious glare .
