Chapter 44
Caroline was here.
I stood at the door and heard how she was arguing with the bodyguards. Finally, I personally stepped forward and opened the door.
When Caroline saw me standing in the door, she was almost stunned!
After a long time, she said with a stiff smile, "Charlotte, it's you."
I deliberately called her full name, "What's the matter, Caroline Archer?"
Caroline was embarrassed. But she still asked me with a faint smile, "Why are you here? Did Patrick make things difficult for you again?"
I looked at her hypocritical face. Besides feeling disgusted, I felt angry more!
She and Patrick could never get away with my child's death!
Obviously, she didn't know that it was me who was here.
"No, I'm on good terms with him. We went to see Grandpa tonight," I said with a smile.
Even though it was late, I could see that Caroline's face was pale as she heard my words. She didn't believe me at first. But she could see me wearing an evening gown as well as a pair of high heels on my feet.
Moreover, the beautiful makeup on my face made me look translucent, making her have an illusion that I had been having a good life.
Caroline probably couldn't tolerate this kind of thing the most!
"You! Charlotte Archer! What on earth did you do?" Caroline was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand, intending to pinch my neck!
The bodyguards stretched out their hands and blocked her outside.
I took a step back and sneered, "Now you know why my husband has prepared these bodyguards for me."
I deliberately emphasized the word "bodyguards".
Caroline pointed at the two bodyguards and scolded, "You are just the dogs by Patrick's side! How come you stopped me rather than stop her? Do you know who I am?"
The bodyguards did not speak and tried their best to fulfill their responsibilities.
Seeing Caroline like this, I suddenly found her ridiculous and continued to say, "Did you think that after you put me in prison at the cost of your child and getting yourself almost killed, Patrick would hate me so much and I would thus disappear from his life?"
"What a pity!"
I shook my head. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut.
Outside the door, Caroline was making a big scene out of it. And I didn't want to care about her anymore.
By the time I came back, there were already a few text messages from Seth on my cell phone.
"Charlotte, where are you? I'm worried about you."
"Did I give you too much pressure recently? Tell me. I will adjust myself."
"Remember to call me back when you see my messages."
Three were three texts in a row from him.
I knew that Seth cared about me sincerely. But now I was afraid that I would get him into trouble.
Patrick was right. It would only take a few minutes for him to destroy Seth's company, which Seth had worked so hard to set up.
That night, I didn't reply to Seth's message.
The next day, I went to Seth's company after putting on the clothes in the villa.
Trying my best to pretend to be arrogant, I entered Seth's office and told him, "I want to quit."
Seth frowned and eyed the set of expensive clothes on my body. After a long time, he asked, "Did Patrick force you?"
"No." I sat on the sofa with my red lips curling up, "It's just that I've figured it out. Being Mrs. Cowell is better off. Why do I have to stay here and suffer? Moreover, staying here, I have to take others' feelings into my account."
As I spoke, I stroked the bag made from crocodile skin on the side.
"Charlotte, you are not such a person," Seth said.
"I was too stupid before. But now I figured it out." I tilted my head and dared not to look at Seth's face, fearing that I would see his sad or angry look.
After all, he had been always so nice to me.
