Chapter 462
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Charlotte was struck dumb. âYouâre the one who leaked the information about our family? You did all these behind our back?â
qâThatâs right. I did it,â Helena admitted. âYour father might have declared bankruptcy, but he was capable of hiding this from everyone, including the Sterling family. Initially, they even thought that they could benefit from working closely with your family.â
âBut once the information got out, the Sterling family immediately regretted. Hector, too, ditched you.
Eventually, Amanda and Luna tricked you and caused you to lose everything. I was glad to see how things turned out, and seeing your clueless and dumb face makes me happy. But too badâLuna got ahead of me and married Hector.â
Charlotte gritted her teeth. âBut Hector is yours now. You could have taught Luna a lesson if you wish to instead of destroying her. Why did you do that?â
âExcuse me?â Helena immediately spoke in a more hostile manner. âIâve never done anything against the law, and you have no evidence against me. You better donât test my patience. Iâm warning you!â
âYouâll get what you deserve,â Charlotte said and left.
âDonât you want to know who ruined your fatherâs life?â Helena asked all of a sudden.
Charlotte stopped walking, but she did not turn around. âWhat makes you think Iâll believe you?â
âMake your own judgment then. Iâm sure youâre not an idiot.â Helena took out a letter and said, âYour father wrote this to my brother, and I have a copy of it. Iâm sure you can recognize your fatherâs handwriting, right?â
Charlotte took a glance at the letter and hesitated for a moment, but decided to turn around.
Just when she was about the retrieve the letter, Helena retracted her hand and raised her brows. âWhat can I get in return for giving you this letter?â
âWhat do you want from me?â Charlotte asked icily.
âI want you to stay away from Hector,â Helena said condescendingly. âEven if he wants to see you, you have to think of ways to avoid him!â
âYou donât have to tell me this. I donât even want to see him anymore,â Charlotte said with disdain.
âAnd stay away from Michael,â Helena added.
âThat should be least of your worries.â
Charlotte knew what was on her mind. Helenaâs family business depended heavily on Michael, and she would not allow anyone to sabotage her relationship with Michael.
Helena was worried that Charlotte might destroy this relationship if the latter decided to be with Michael.
This was why Helena had to be mindful of Charlotte.
âYou better not break your promise.â Helena then gave her the letter. âIâll destroy you if you dare. I still know your other secrets, mind you.â
A line formed between Charlotteâs brows. âWhat secrets?â
âYouâll know on the day you break your promise.â Helena let out a mirthless laugh. âYouâre one lucky women, Charlotte. âYou have both Zachary and my brother on your side, so Iâll spare you for now. But if you ever try stepping on my toesâ¦â
Helena squinted her eyes and gave Charlotte a sullen glare.
Charlotte did not know what kind of dirt Helena had on her, but she decided to ignore this vicious woman.
She just wanted to stay away from her.
As Charlotte walked away, Helena looked at her back and put on a baffling smile.
Helenaâs assistant, who had been observing their interaction, asked, âWhy did you give her the letter, Ms. Brown?
âIf you want her to stay away from Mr. Sterling and Mr. Brown, you should have just let her be with the man who killed her father.â
âWhat do you know?â Helena glowered. âShe being close with Zachary will only pose a greater threat to our future.âq
