Chapter 102 Mr. Grayson’s Flattery
“My aunt might have misspoken, but she had no ill intentions. Why do you need to humiliate her in front
of everyone?” Wendy questioned Charlotte.
She had thought that everyone would join in condemning Charlotte. To her surprise, not a single person
moved, and
even her uncle-in-law, who had come with her aunt, was
nowhere to be found.
Fiona’s resentment towards Charlotte grew, and she continued, “It’s a fact that Mr. Smith abandoned
you. Can’t
anyone even mention it?”
Charlotte smiled coldly, “Who told you that Joe abandoned
me?”
Regardless of the circumstances, she was the one who initiated the divorce back then.
This statement caused a stir among the crowd.
Initially, everyone thought that it was because Joe wanted to be with Wendy that he took the
opportunity to divorce Charlotte. But now, it seemed that there might be another hidden story behind it.

Just as Joe, who had been followed by Mr. Grayson, walked over from the other side of the hall, he
frowned upon seeing
the scene.
The fact that Sir Smith hadn’t attended had already sparked speculation, and now with this incident, the
engagement banquet had lost its focus entirely.
Before Charlotte could react, Fiona quickly stepped forward and hugged Mr. Grayson’s arm, looking
pitiful as she playfully complained, “Where were you just now? You didn’t even know when your wife
was being bullied!”
Mr. Grayson’s expression darkened, “Who dares to bully you?”
Fiona didn’t say much but instead looked meaningfully in
Charlotte’s direction.
She knew very well that Mr. Grayson was extremely concerned about his reputation. Even though he
hadn’t been particularly attentive to her as his wife, now that they were in
front of a crowd, he would still stand up for her.
Even so, there was no trace of panic on Charlotte’s face. She
simply looked at Mr. Grayson and nodded, “It’s me.”
Mr. Grayson’s smile froze.
Fiona even looked smugly at Charlotte, hoping Mr. Grayson
would scold her.
To her surprise, Mr. Grayson turned around and glared at Fiona, saying, “I don’t even need to ask to
know that it’s definitely because your mouth is stirring up trouble again. You just can’t seem to stay out
of trouble for a single day.”
“You!” Fiona was about to speak but was fiercely glared at by
Mr. Grayson.
The news about the collaboration between the Smith Group
and the Horizon Group to develop a resort had become
widely known recently. With so many companies in Atlanta, who wouldn’t want to seize this opportunity
to get a piece of the pie?
Mr. Grayson had managed to seize this opportunity to
connect with Joe, hoping to take a shortcut. Others might not
be aware of the true situation, he knew.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the surface, Charlotte appeared to be a stunning beauty, but in reality, she was the enigmatic
president behind the scenes of the Horizon Group!
Fiona had been with Mr. Grayson for many years and could easily tell that something was amiss. Mr.
Grayson didn’t have
any romantic desires for Charlotte. Instead, he seemed eager to please and be cautious around her.
Although unclear, Fiona’s years of sharp intuition made her keep her mouth shut.
However, Wendy had worked so hard to get to this point. How could she give up easily?
She still wanted to speak up but suddenly heard intense sobbing from the staircase.
Suddenly, Charlotte’s calm expression changed drastically.
She didn’t even bother to talk to them anymore, wanting to
rush over there.
Mistaking her intention as an attempt to flee, Wendy
instinctively blocked her path.
Charlotte pushed her aside forcefully, her brows cold, “Get out
of the way!”
