Chapter 204
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
When Charlotte rushed to the café to look for Luna, flashlights attacked her the moment she stepped into the café, and she could not open her eyes.
Subconsciously, she raised her hand to block the lights from her eyes. Then, she heard Lunaâs voice.
âThis is the homewrecker, Charlotte Windt. Take a good shot of her. Zoom into her face!â
It was only then that Charlotte realized Luna had gathered a group of reporters here to ambush her.
What a cunning woman.
Every single camera was pointed in Charlotteâs direction, and reporters were spewing questions at her.
âMs. Windt, what is your relationship with Mr. Sterling?â
âMs. Windt, when did you start having an affair with Mr. Sterling?â
âMs. Windt, were you the one to force Mr. Sterling to divorce his wife and marry you?â
âMs. Windt, why did you do this?â
Wrath surged from within Charlotte, and she snarled, âWhat evidence do you have to prove that Iâm the homewrecker?â
âOne of our reporters has taken photos of you and Mr. Sterling dating at the Blue Diamond. Both of you were acting intimately, and he even held your hand. Is that not the case?â a female reporter interrogated.
âSo, I was having an affair with him just because I was holding his hand?â Charlotte stepped forward and placed the female reporterâs hand on the hand of the cameraman beside her. âDoes this mean youâre having an affair with him now?â
âYou-â Her words rendered the reporter speechless.
Even the cameraman was stupefied.
âMs. Windt, are you saying that youâre not the mistress?â another reported queried. âThen why did you meet Mr. Sterling alone?â
âYouâd have to ask Mrs. Sterling about that.â Charlotte stared at Luna coldly. âShe took something of mine and flew overseas for holiday. Iâm in a hurry to get it back, but she refused to meet up with me and give it back. Thatâs why I could only try to get it back through Mr. Sterling.â
âYou-â Luna glowered. âYou b*tch! How dare you accuse me of this?â
âIs that not the truth?â Charlotte snapped. âDo you want me to ask for the owner of the necklace to verify this?â
With that, Luna finally felt fear. She had nearly forgotten that the man backing Charlotte was Zachary.
Taking two steps ahead, Charlotte whispered into Lunaâs ears. âIf you want to talk about this, letâs talk nicely. If you want to make a fuss⦠Well, two can play at this game. After all, I have nothing to lose now.
On the other hand, you have everything to lose. Will you be willing to part with the title of Mrs. Sterling?â
âYou-â Luna repeated as she ground her teeth. In the end, she relented. She had to take Hectorâs feelings into consideration, as well as the consequences that awaited her should she dared to cross Zachary.
âThatâs it for todayâs interview. Please leave.â
Luna instantly dismissed the reporters by giving them ten thousand each. She then instructed the bodyguards to send them off.
Seeing how this was a big scoop, the reporters were reluctant to leave, but the bodyguards couldnât be bothered about their reluctance and simply chased them out of the café.
Hence, they had no choice but to leave while cursing and swearing that they would not get involved in Lunaâs matters ever again.
The café finally quieted down now that the reporters were gone.
âCharlotte, you are to cut ties with Hector immediately, or else I wonât let you off the hook,â Luna commanded bossily.
âIâll repeat this one last time,â Charlotte seethed impatiently. âThereâs nothing between Hector and me.â
âNothing?â Luna slammed her fist at the table. âYou called me the other day, telling me that youâre going to seduce him-â
âThat was me trying to provoke you into coming back.â Charlotte frowned. âYouâre really dumb, you know that?â
âYouâ¦â Lunaâs expression darkened. âIf thereâs nothing between the two of you, why would Hector bring the ruby necklace back? Why would he be adamant about divorcing me? He even signed the divorce papers.â
âThe ruby necklace is a gift from Mr. Nacht. They have another agreement.â Charlotteâs frown deepened.
âAs for why heâs divorcing you, he should be the one youâre asking that question to.â
