Chapter 222
Then I had no choice but to sue.”
“What reason?”
Jaxson stood in front of her, bent down, looking down at her from a height, Charlotte, on what grounds are you suing for divorce? Do you think I cheated, or is it because of that so–called illegitimate child in your mouth?”
Charlotte faced his face, which was close at hand, exceptionally calm, without any ripples, “What’s the point of keeping a loveless marriage that doesn’t end?”
Jaxson remained silent.
Charlotte caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the door, reaching out to straighten Jaxson’s tie, “Mr. Hamilton wouldn’t happen to be reluctant to divorce me, would he?”
She raised her eyebrows slightly, with a clear smile on her face, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes, “Really? Could it be that Mr. Hamilton has fallen in love with me? Otherwise, why would he be so persistent?”
Jaxson gently cupped her face in his palm, and in that moment of touch, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, “Charlotte, do you know that your smile is very fake.”
He didn’t like her “smile” like that.
It made him feel dazzling.
She shouldn’t have been like this.
Charlotte’s smile gradually disappeared inch by inch, until it was completely gone, as a voice that only he and she could hear said, “Because you only deserve hypocrisy.”
As soon as the words fell, she turned her gaze and opened her mouth towards the door, “Why eavesdrop, Ms. Warren? Wouldn’t it be better to come in openly and listen?”
Caroline’s body stiffened.
Damn, I was found out!
She pushed open the door and walked in, putting on that innocent and pitiful look again.“Dr. Sutton, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I just heard you were back at the hospital and wanted to come congratulate you. But when I saw you talking to Jaxson, I didn’t want to interrupt.”
Ms. Warren must know about my relationship with Mr. Hamilton. Charlotte chuckled and walked towards her, “Perfect timing, we were just talking about divorce.”
She stopped in front of Caroline, arms crossed like Jaxson’s, “How about you, Ms. Warren, help me persuade her?”
Jaxson’s originally dignified face now showed a more chilling coldness, “Charlotte!”
What’s wrong with Mr. Hamilton? Charlotte asked knowingly,“If Mr. Hamilton really has no relationship with Ms. Warren, then why am I being rumored to be the third party between Ms. Warren and Mr. Hamilton?”
Caroline’s face suddenly changed, and she clenched her hands.
Charlotte was relentless, “My parents found out that I was being falsely accused and just wanted to prove my innocence, so they sought out Ms. Warren. However, Ms. Warren’s son inexplicably fell from the second floor, causing my father to lose his life for nothing.”
No! Caroline grabbed Charlotte’s hand, her eyes turning red.“I didn’t mean to, I really didn’t know your dad had a heart attack. It’s all my fault, I wasn’t paying enough attention to Collin’s injuries. Go ahead, hit me, take it out on me.”
“Bang!”
Before Caroline could finish speaking, Charlotte slapped her hard.
