WantNovelChapter 348
This was the first tCharlotte had truly let down her guard and revealed her emotions. She was on the verge
of collapse, and the hatred in her eyes cut through the facade she had maintained for so long like a sharp arrow.
Lucy smiled in satisfaction. "Don't worry. Sarah's greatest enemy isn't us. From the very beginning, we've been
standing on her side."
Charlotte's gaze sharpened as she processed Lucy's words. A glimmer of realization crossed her eyes. "You mean
her? Now that's a perfect ally."
"But before that, there's something else | need to take care of," Lucy said, her eyes dark with malice.
At 6 p.m., James returned hafter work, unaware that Lucy had been released.
Massaging his temples, he braced himself for what awaited inside. He knew Mrs. Chancer would pester him
again to help Lucy, and Charlotte would likely still be upset over the ongoing issues with Sarah.
Suddenly, the door burst open, and Lucy stormed in, her face twisted in anger.
"James, all because of Sarah, this is how you treat me? Mom begged you over and over, and you still refused to
help me! You don't even seeas your sister!"
James frowned deeply, leaning against the doorfrto steady himself. His voice was cold as he replied, "I don't
see you as my sister? Then maybe | shouldn't have saved you all those times before."

time, it was Mom begging you before you reluctantly helped me."
James's expression grew colder, his gaze detached and distant. For the first time, he truly looked at Lucy,
scrutinizing her. "Say that again."
His eyes burned with a dangerous intensity. Lucy's face paled, her eyes red with unshed tears. She opened her
mouth several times but couldn't bring herself to speak again-she was terrified of James.
With Mrs. Chancer not home, she had no one to shield her.
Charlotte quickly stepped in to diffuse the tension. "James, Lucy just got out. Of course, she's feeling frustrated
and upset. Lucy, watch what you say. Your brother has been doing everything he can to help you. I've seen him
in the study making calls and pulling strings to get you released."
Lucy sneered. "Charlotte, you're defending him? He doesn't care. He's completely under Sarah's spell! Forget
about me-if Sarah so much as wagged her tail, he'd drop everything and run straight to her!"
James fixed Lucy with a cold, piercing gaze, his eyes like a deep, icy abyss. "Shut up."
"Why should 1? I'm not wrong! Every time, you're always protecting that woman!" Lucy's voice was hoarse as she
screamed, sounding almost unhinged.
James's face darkened as he stepped forward, raising his hand and delivering a hard slap. Lucy's head snapped
to the side, her cheek stinging.
"You make mistakes and still dare to
say things like that? Mom has spgjled
you rotten! Fromnow on, you're

James glanced at Charlotte, who stood to the side, wringing her hands and looking fragile and pitiful.
He realized he had been too
thoughtless these past few days.
Taking a breath, he walked ogra
Charts and softened tone.
‘Shaflotte, I'm sorry. She's my ex-
wife, and when | saw she was in
danger, | stepped in to help. That's
all-it was just to prevent anyone from

He gently pulled Charlotte into his arms. Her eyes reddened, and after a moment, she nodded slightly.
Lucy, however, wasn't about to let things go so easily. "Fine! Then promiseyou won't protect her anymore!"
James frowned, about to refuse, but then he caught the look in Charlotte's eyes. Without thinking, he replied,
“Alright.”
