WantNovelChapter 685
As Mrs. Sanders kept talking, not only did Sarah stay silent — she actually started laughing.
Mrs. Sanders frowned. "What are you laughing at?"
Sarah's gaze turned cold. Her voice was calm but sharp.
"Shouldn't matters between us younger people be handled by us directly? Wouldn't it sound bad if word got out
that you're getting involved like this?"
She paused for a second, then added with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"Besides, no matter what, I'm still the biggest shareholder in Sanders Group. Firing an employee is well within
my rights, don't you think?"
Right now, Sarah was actually glad Mrs. Sanders had finally dropped the act and shown her true colors. At least
it saved Sarah the trouble of pretending to be polite.
Mrs. Sanders still wore the kind, gentle smile of an elder, but her voice turned colder underneath.
"So what, you're using your position to pressurenow?"
Sarah laughed softly.
"You're joking. How would | dare?"
Without bothering to continue the conversation, Sarah picked up her glass of water and went straight back to her
room.
The next day.
Charlotte sat alone in the huge, empty villa, her beautiful face showing nothing but frustration and restlessness.
It had been nearly a month since James had chto accompany her. Every day, he brushed her off with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe sexcuse - work.
At this point, Charlotte even wondered if the cold, business-like text replies she got from him were really from
him — or just his assistant replying for him.
No way. She couldn't just sit here and wait.
It was obvious James had grown tired of her. If she didn't do something, the distance between them would only
grow wider.
Having made up her mind, Charlotte grabbed her phone and directly dialed his number.
Normally, she wasn't allowed to keep her phone with her - but this month, she'd used the excuse of being
heavily pregnant and needing it for emergencies to get permission.
At that moment, James was sitting at his office desk, reviewing documents. When his phone rang, he glanced at
the screen, then pressed silent without hesitation and flipped it face down on the desk.
"Sorry, the number you've dialed is unavailable."
Hearing the automated response, Charlotte was so furious she threw her phone
onto the bed, her chest rising and falling rapidly with anger.
After calming herself for a few seconds, she picked the phone back up and opened her chat app.
She scrolled through her contacts and found someone she hadn't gotten around to renaming —one of her "eyes"
planted inside James's company.
She sent a short message:
Are you there?
The reply cback quickly.
Here! I'm here, ma'am! What can | do for you?
Charlotte didn't waste any time.
-Go check what your CEO is doing right now.
Long ago, when things between her and James were still sweet, Charlotte had already made preparations for the
worst. She'd arranged for someone inside the company to be her informant. The person wasn't in a high position,
but it was better than nothing.
But soon, the person replied nervously.
That won't work, ma'am... I'm not even on the sfloor as Mr. Chancer. If | take the elevator up there without a
reason and get caught by my manager, I'll probably get fined — or worse, fired. Then I'll really be eating air this
month.
Looking at the long string of text, Charlotte nearly exploded. She couldn't help but curse aloud.
"Useless."
Then she sent a voice message.
Can't you just ask around?
This time, the other person quickly responded.
— You're right! I'll go ask right now!

The informant sent another message eagerly.
— Ma'am, anything else | can help with? I'll do anything for you!
Charlotte rolled her eyes and transferred smoney over.
That's all.
The person happily accepted the money and even sent her a sticker.
Thank you, ma'am! Much appreciated!
