Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back (Charlotte and Arthur)

Chapter 66 The One With Issues

The atmosphere in the room grew tense. Charlotte's vision started to blur, the world spinning around her. She pinched her thigh hard to stay sober, forcing herself to hold on. But as the seconds ticked by, Arthur remained silent.

Charlotte thought, "What does he mean by this? Say somet already."

"If you take off your mask, I'll agree to your proposal" Just as Charlotte felt her consciousness slipping under the influence of the alcohol, Arthur's voice broke the silence. His tone was deep lats, and tinged with a cold edge.

Charlotte's body trembled at his worth. The lower half of her face, unhidden by the mark, was already flushed red. She

pressed her lips, her gate hay. "Mr. Harrison, I've already apologised, and I've shown my sincerity. Do you really have to push your back ke this?"

Her worths shared slightly as she swayed on her feet, struggling to stay upright. "You're the one with issiges, not me. If you don't want to cooperate, that's your problem. I... I'm tired. I'm going home to sleep"

Charlotte clumsily grabbed the fragrance product from the

table, stuffed it into her bag, and staggered toward the door.

After taking a couple of unsteady steps, something occurred to

spinning. Everything around her was swaying.

Arthur and Jayce silently watched as Charlotte fumbled around, needing several tries before she finally found the door. Arthur glanced at Jayce. "Was that a compliment or an insult?" It didn't sound like a compliment. Jayce remained silent.

Arthur chuckled, "Looks like that bottle of vodka didn't teach

her a lesson."

Jayce finally spoke up. "Arthur, don't you think you're taking this a bit far? You're the one who needs her help."

Arthur stood up, his expression calm. "So what?" His tone wast light, but his words were dripping with arrogance.

He thought, "Indeed, my insomnia is severe, and indeed, I need. Ms. Aroma's fragrance products. But so what? I'd already given her an opportunity. If she couldn't see the opportunity and keeps provoking me, then she has no one but herself to blame for my ruthlessness."

Jayce frowned but didn't respond, sinking into silence once again. Arthur didn't linger. He opened the door and left. Delia hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Caldwell, Mrs. Harrison seems pretty drunk. It could be dangerous for her to go home alone int that state."

"Oh." Jayce's response was devoid of emotion. Without another word, he walked off.

Charlotte stumbled into the elevator and pressed the button for

But when the elevator doors opened, a group of drunken men stumbled out, supporting each other.

Their gazes fell on Charlotte. One of them, with a sleazy grin, looked her up and down.

"Well, a pretty lady all by herself. What's with the mask? Playing some cosplay? I've got plenty of props back at my place. Wanna come play with me, sweetheart?" he spoke as he reached out toward her.

Charlotte, clinging to the last shred of her sobriety, immediately stepped back. But the spinning world around her made it impossible to stay balanced. She stumbled, collapsing against the wall behind her.

The men surrounded her instantly. "Don't be shy, sweetheart," one of them sneered. "We'll make sure you have the time of your life tonight. Come on, let's go." They grabbed her arm, tugging her toward one of the private rooms, their intentions all too clear.

"Get off..." Charlotte muttered, her voice weak and powerless. She didn't have the strength to break free from their grip.

"What's going on here?" A low, magnetic voice suddenly broke through the tension. Charlotte's hazy mind jolted awake. It was Arthur.
