Chapter 102 Mr. Graysonâs Flattery âMy aunt might have misspoken, but she had no ill intentions. Why do you need to humiliate her in front of everyone?â 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.
Fionaâs resentment towards Charlotte grew, and she continued, âItâs a fact that Mr. Smith abandoned you. Canât anyone even mention it?â
Charlotte smiled coldly, âWho told you that Joe abandoned me?â
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.
âWhatâs going on here?â
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 hadnât 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. Graysonâs arm, looking pitiful as she playfully complained, âWhere were you just now? You didnât even know when your wife was being bullied!â
Mr. Graysonâs expression darkened, âWho dares to bully you?â
Fiona didnât say much but instead looked meaningfully in Charlotteâs direction.
She knew very well that Mr. Grayson was extremely concerned about his reputation. Even though he hadnât 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 Charlotteâs face. She simply looked at Mr. Grayson and nodded, âItâs me.â
Mr. Graysonâs 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, âI donât even need to ask to know that itâs definitely because your mouth is stirring up trouble again. You just canât seem to stay out of trouble for a single day.â
âYou!â 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 wouldnât 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.
On 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 didnât have any romantic desires for Charlotte. Instead, he seemed eager to please and be cautious around her.
Although unclear, Fionaâs 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, Charlotteâs calm expression changed drastically.
She didnât 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, âGet out of the way!â
