Chapter 578 She Should Face the Consequences “Please don’t worry. I will immediately have someone investigate how he managed to get in,” Mr. Bulwer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly addressed Joe. Joe nodded and casually took the wine glass from Charlotte’s hand, nodding slightly to everyone. “I don’t want to hear about today’s incident from anyone outside this room.” After speaking, he emptied the contents of the glass in his hand and looked around at the crowd. Everyone present was astute in business, so they quickly responded and raised their glasses in agreement. “Of course, that guy was just talking nonsense.” “Yes, exactly. We all know the truth and won’t let Miss Clinton be wrongly accused.” Sandra also approached at this moment, raising her glass with a smile towards Charlotte. “I never expected you to experience such injustice, Miss Clinton. It’s truly surprising.” Charlotte smiled faintly. “It’s not exactly injustice. The person who manipulated Zack from behind has disappeared from
this city. I hope this one has better luck.” “So, Miss Clinton, you have such power in the Capital City?” Sandra pretended to be surprised and asked, “I think I haven’t offended you, right? I was just kidding, please don’t mind.” Charlotte’s smile deepened. “Miss Faulkner, your jokes are quite amusing. I hope you can keep laughing like this.” Sandra’s gaze darkened, but her smile remained unchanged on her face. “Of course.” The back-and-forth exchange between the two women continued while Joe remained uninvolved. However, as he and Charlotte were about to leave, Joe’s steps faltered slightly, and he spoke in a low
voice, “It seems you didn’t take my previous words to heart.” Enter title… Sandra furrowed her brows, about to offer a retort, but Joe was already pulling Charlotte away. Clearly, he didn’t care about Sandra’s explanation. Sandra gritted her teeth tightly and took a deep breath. This matter was not over yet. After leaving the venue, Joe suddenly embraced Charlotte tightly. He lowered his head to her neck and said in a deep voice, “If I had appeared earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered today.” Charlotte paused for a moment upon hearing his words, then smiled helplessly. “But in the end, it was you who took me away, right? Who could have imagined that Zack would dare to lay a hand on me? How can I blame you for that?” Joe’s eyes grew deeper as he thought about the way Charlotte’s face had turned pale today, and his heart twinged with pain. “This matter is definitely related to Sandra, and I will handle it,” Joe told Charlotte in a low voice. Charlotte shook her head. “I can handle it. After all, she’s from a side branch of the Faulkner Family. If I take action against her, it would be justified…” Joe sneered, “So what if she’s from the Faulkner Family? Since Sandra dared to act recklessly, she should face the consequences.” Suddenly, Charlotte sat up straight, looking at him with suspicion. “Did you do something?” Joe neither confirmed nor denied it, but he held her hand and said, “Don’t worry, it won’t escalate to a loss of life.”
After Joe and Charlotte left, Sandra also departed. She frowned and leaned against the car’s back seat, watching the incoming calls continuously flashing on her phone. It wasn’t until the caller was about to hang up that she impatiently answered, “I’ve told you not to contact me all the time. I can handle things myself… Ah!” A strong impact was felt as Sandra’s phone was flung to the ground, and her head hit the back of the front seat, instantly forming a bruise. “What’s going on?” Sandra angrily glared at the driver. The driver was also bewildered and took a while to respond, “I don’t know either… It seems like something was wrong with that car, and it crashed straight into us…” A chill ran down her spine as Sandra saw the culprit not far away, flashing a provocative smile at her.
