Wace stumbled backwards, touched his hand to his nose, and saw blood.

“Dr. Reese!” Charlotte pushed baway /bthe man behind her and tried to step forward to help, but bJaxson /bgrabbed her arm. She then pped him and said, “Jaxson, byou’ve /bbgone /btoo far!”

bJaxson’s /bcheek twitched slightly to the side bas /bhe looked at her expressionlessly.

Charlotte walked up to Wace and helped him up,“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Wace wiped away the nosebleed and looked at Jaxson, “I breally /bcan’t stand men who only know how to force women.”

She didn’t wait for Jaxson to say anything, she wanted to leave with Wace.

Jaxson called out behind her, “Charlotte.b” /b

She stopped, and didn’t look back.

“I knew everything.”

Charlotte’s eyes narrowed. What is he talking about?

Was it Caroline who did those things?

She turned to him, puzzled, “bYou’re /bbonly /bsuspecting Caroline now, only realizing the truth, bdon’t /byou think it’s toote?b” /b

“You’re no fun!” Wace leaned back in his chair. “I just found out today that Charlotte got married early, and her ex- happened to run into him and stopped it, but got distracted and lost the game.”

Nigel put

down his pen, capped it,“On the surface, he’s her ex–husband, but technically they haven’t

“So…” Wace suddenly paused, “How did you know?”

Nigel got up and packed his files, ignoring him.

Wace squinted his eyes,“Oh, I see. Are you bsecretly /bkeeping an eye on Charlotte?b” /b

“No.”

He shrugged and said, “Deny it all you want, Wace, but you’re missing out on such a beautifuldy.”

Nigel nced iat /ihim,“Are you lucky or something?”

Wace choked, “Come on, she’s pretty, but not my type!”

Nigel didn’t say anything, grabbed hisptop bag and was about to leave.

Wace got up, “No, are you leaving work already?

“We are moving today.”

Penelope, who was praised, felt embarrassed, “I bused /btoe to y when I was in a bad mood, knocking down those balls like bthey /bbwere /bpeople, that’s how I vented.”

Charlotte smiled and said nothing.

He didn’t beven /bmention his existence.

“Your doorstep is a bit dirty, remember to clean it up.”

Charlotte looked down and saw ba /blittle bit of dust right under her bfeet/b!
