Chapter 1076
Meanwhile, Charlotte was lounging on the couch lazily and playing with her phone, an arm propping up her head.
When she saw that Genevieve still had not replied to her after ten minutes, she could not help but lament, “Now
that she's got children, she's spending all her time on them.”
She could not understand why Genevieve would punish herself by having kids.
Not only would Genevieve have to give birth to them, but she would also have to accompany them everywhere too.
Having to spend most of her time on her kids, she would not have time for her own life.
On the contrary, Charlotte led a carefree life.
Charlotte tapped on Instagram and scrolled through it aimlessly. She was filled with envy when she saw her friends
posting their travel pictures or showing off their bodies.
Although she wanted to go overseas too, she had lost the bet with Jerry the previous time. Hence, he called the
shots now.
Furthermore, she had refused to accept her defeat and secretly wore a revealing outfit to eat crayfish with
Genevieve in the countryside back then. That made Jerry extremely furious, so she did not dare to provoke him
again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Charlotte spotted something in a picture.
When she zoomed into the picture, she saw her friend taking a selfie with others on a cruise ship. A yacht was
passing by the cruise ship at the side. On its deck was a young woman in a long dress, leaning against the railing
and admiring the scenery.
The woman's head was tilted with a pair of sunglasses covering her eyes. However, since Charlotte had seen her
many times, she recognized the woman with a single glimpse.
It was none other than Johanna.
No wonder Johanna isn't with Genevieve. She's traveling overseas!
While Charlotte was still scrutinizing the picture, Jiminy called her and instructed, “Send the two bottles of red wine
in my Mercedes-Benz to Timothy.”
Suppressing her urge to roll her eyes, Charlotte snapped in annoyance, “Tell the driver to do it! Why are you
instructing me?”
“Because you have nothing to do. You're just lazing at home,” replied Jiminy.
Charlotte had just opened up the group chat and saw the friend who had posted that picture sharing her
experience on the cruise ship the previous night.
She mumbled, “Even if I go to Forlisle Medical, Timothy might not be there. He's probably traveling with his wife at
Lostaria. I just saw her photo.”
Jiminy replied unhappily, “They haven't married yet, so why are you calling her his wife? Also, I asked my secretary
to call Forlisle Medical. Timothy's right there. Lottie, I'm doing this for your sake. Where else can you find such a
nice man like Timothy?”
“It's not because he's nice. It's because he's rich! You're just eyeing his family's wealth.” Charlotte exposed Jiminy's
intentions ruthlessly.
She ended the call before Jiminy could scold her.
Not wanting her father to come back and lecture her at night, Charlotte went upstairs and changed her clothes.
She asked the housekeeper for the Mercedes-Benz's keys and drove to Forlisle Medical to deliver the wine.
When she arrived at Forlisle Medical, Charlotte looked for the receptionist. Soon, someone led her to the elevator.
A secretary in a formal suit was already waiting at the elevator. When Charlotte reached the top level, the
secretary sent her to the CEO's office before leaving.
Since Charlotte had known Timothy for a long time, she strode into the room, not even bothering to knock.
Timothy was on the phone in front of the window. Since his tone was frustrated and he seemed to be suppressing
his anger, Charlotte refrained from disturbing him and instead went to the lounge with the wine.
After Timothy ended the call a few minutes later and turned around, he realized that there was someone in the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlounge.
Charlotte waved at Timothy as a greeting. When she caught a closer glimpse of his expression, she struggled to
swallow the wine in her mouth.
She asked worriedly, “Is your work stressing you out that much?”
She remembered seeing Timothy just a while ago, but he seemed to have changed completely. He was engulfed
with fury and spite, as if a flippant statement was enough to make him lose his temper.
His expression was so gloomy that it would send a chill down one's spine.
Sitting on the couch, Timothy grabbed the packet of cigarettes and a lighter on the coffee table. After taking a puff
of the cigarette, he demanded impatiently, “Why are you here?”
Charlotte subconsciously glanced at the ashtray, which was packed to the brim with cigarette butts. It was obvious
how much he had smoked.
“My dad asked me to deliver two bottles of red wine to you.” Charlotte pointed at the boxes of red wine on the
coffee table.
Feeling disturbed by Timothy's hostile aura, she could not help but add, “Hey, Timothy. If you're too stressed by
work, just leave it to the other vice presidents. Give yourself a break and have fun with Johanna. Why are you
pushing yourself so hard?”
