The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 499

Megan nodded. “If my dad said it, then it’s probably true.”

Summer glanced at Charlotte. “It must have been your man who made the move.”

Megan agreed. “I think so too. Thomas picked the wrong person to mess with, especially you. He even made threats. Knowing Sean, there’s no way he’d let that slide. This time, he went all out for you and completely wiped out the Turner family.”

She didn’t repeat Thomas’s exact words, botte and Summer both remembered. On the cruise, Thomas had said he

would find someone to destroy her.

Later, Summer heard from contacts in Sterling City that Thomas ad originally planned to have several men take turns assaulting Charlotte, completely destroying her, and then post videos and photos online.

When Summer first heard the plan, she was furious. Even though she had had her share of disagreements with Charlotte, she

and ended up cursing Thomas for hours.

“That is so satisfying!” Summer clapped her hands in excitement ‘Sean is amazing. Well done!”

Charlotte’s feelings, however, were far more complicated.

After leaving the cruise, she had looked into the Turner family and learned about Charles Turner’s influence in Sterling City, as well as Thomas’s history. Thomas deserved whatever came to him, and Charles had done nothing but shield his son and enable him. It was long overdue for both of them to fall.

Still, the Turner family’s reach was not to be underestimated. Charlotte worried about Sean becoming a target for retaliation.

Charles might have been taken into custody, but in Sterling City he had plenty of “loyal followers.” Corrupt officials and business leaders who had benefitted from him would not take kindly to losing their share, and Sean could very well become their next target.

Charlotte nodded.

“You really don’t have to be,” Megan said. “Honestly, I think Sean has protected you so well that you don’t fully understand him yet.”

She paused for a moment, then added, “Charlotte, I’m not saying this to criticize you. I’m saying you have no idea how ruthless Sean can be with his enemies. Once he decides to take someone down, he won’t stop until every single person connected to them is dealt with. And his power reaches far beyond what you’ve seen. You really don’t need to worry about him.”

Even so, Charlotte couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Megan turned to her again. “She’s right, Charlotte. You shouldn’t waste your energy worrying about him. The Turner family isn’t even in his league. If anything, you should be more concerned about yourself. If those people find out Sean went after the Turners because of you, they might go for the easier target. And that would be you.”

The same tactic Joseph Ford had used. If they couldn’t touch Sean, they would come after her instead?

Charlotte gave a cold smile. “Let them try. I’m not afraid.‘

Petra stood silently at her side, motionless like a statue.

“Who’s this?” Summer finally noticed her.

“My personal bodyguard, Petra,” Charlotte replied calmly.

Summer’s lips curved in appreciation. “She looks fierce.”

Megan added, “Petra’s got skills. Last time I was drugged, she took on six
