Arthur's words were clear, “We're a married couple discussing private matters. Don’t you know when to step
aside?”
Pete glanced at Charlotte. “I'll wait for you downstairs.”
“Alright.”
It was when Pete turned and left that Charlotte shifted her gaze back, only to meet Arthur's cold, piercing eyes.
“What do you want?” she asked, her tone laced with confusion.
Arthur didn’t answer. Instead, he stood up and walked in
another direction.
Seeing this, Charlotte turned to leave.
“Follow me.”
Before she could take another step, Arthur's emotionless voice cfrom behind.
Charlotte hesitated. She didn’t want to provoke him, especially now that he knew about Ava, her other weak
spot.

One of them was Jacob, whom she had met a few times before, Arthur's personal assistant during his travels.
“Mr. Harrison, you're back?”
Carlos, the other man, immediately stood up with a warm smile. upon seeing Arthur.
“Mm,” Arthur responded briefly, pulling out the chair beside him. He gestured toward Charlotte and said, “Sit.”
Carlos’ gaze flickered with curiosity. “And this is?”
“My wife,” Arthur replied in a calm tone as he sat down.
“Ah, Mrs. Harrison!” Carlos’ demeanor grew even more respectful. “It’s an honor to meet you. Please, have a
seat. It’s my privilege to host both Mr. and Mrs. Harrison here in Camoreham. | hope my hospitality hasn't fallen
short.”
As he spoke, he raised his glass and took a drink.
He believed that she had attended enough of these business social events and was quite adept at handling
them. As they discussed work-related matters, she sat there, and the potential partners naturally wouldn't make
any excessive demands or resort to underhanded tactics to facilitate the cooperation.
She had been through many occasions like this.
In Arthur's eyes, this made her the perfect wife. A convenient
shield.
When Carlos excused himself to use the restroom, Charlotte

her fingers to her temples and said, “Arthur, you should have toldin advance.”
“And then what?” Arthur's loosened tie added a touch of casual indifference to his appearance.
“I would've refused.”
Her voice was steady as she said, “I don’t want to be Mrs. Harrison anymore. | also don’t want to fulfill any duties
that cwith that title.”
Arthur chuckled lightly, draping an arm over the back of her chair. His striking eyes gleamed with a faint hint of
amusement, and the faintest trace of a smile softened his features. With just a touch of emotion, his gaze
seemed to brim with affection, as if he had endless words of love to pour out.
But Charlotte knew it was all an illusion.
His usual illusion.
“I knew you'd refuse. That's exactly why | didn’t tell you.”
Charlotte's breath hitched, her delicate brows knitting together. “When this dinner is over, can | leave?”

“No.”
Arthur rejected her without hesitation. “I’m curious to see how far you're willing to go for someone else, even if it
means compromising with me.”
His voice carried a mocking undertone as he raised his glass and

chest.
Charlotte could only think that he was unreasonable!

“What happens between us has nothing to do with anyone else. Dragging others into this, don’t you find that
despicable?”
Arthur shrugged indifferently. “If it works, that’s all that
matters.”
Charlotte’s hand clenched into a fist, and just then, the door opened, and Carlos and his assistant returned.
Carlos broadly grinned as he placed a jewelry box in front of Charlotte. “Mrs. Harrison, it's a pleasure to meet
you. This is just a small token of appreciation. It’s nothing too extravagant, and | hope you won’t mind.”
As he spoke, he opened the box.
