Chapter 578 She Should Face the Consequences
âPlease donât worry. I will immediately have someone investigate how he managed to get in,â Mr.
Bulwer wiped the cold
sweat from his forehead and quickly addressed Joe.
Joe nodded and casually took the wine glass from Charlotteâs hand, nodding slightly to everyone. âI donât want to hear
about todayâs incident from anyone outside this room.â
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.
âOf course, that guy was just talking nonsense.â
âYes, exactly. We all know the truth and wonât let Miss Clinton be wrongly accused.â
Sandra also approached at this moment, raising her glass with a smile towards Charlotte. âI never expected you to
experience such injustice, Miss Clinton. Itâs truly surprising.â
Charlotte smiled faintly. âItâs not exactly injustice. The person who manipulated Zack from behind has disappeared from this city. I hope this one has better luck.â
âSo, Miss Clinton, you have such power in the Capital City?â Sandra pretended to be surprised and asked, âI think I
havenât offended you, right? I was just kidding, please donât mind.â
Charlotteâs smile deepened. âMiss Faulkner, your jokes are quite amusing. I hope you can keep laughing like this.â
Sandraâs gaze darkened, but her smile remained unchanged on her face. âOf course.â
The back-and-forth exchange between the two women continued while Joe remained uninvolved.
However, as he and Charlotte were about to leave, Joeâs steps faltered slightly, and he spoke in a low voice, âIt seems
you didnât take my previous words to heart.â
Enter titleâ¦
Sandra furrowed her brows, about to offer a retort, but Joe was already pulling Charlotte away.
Clearly, he didnât care about Sandraâs 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, âIf I had appeared earlier, you wouldnât have suffered today.â
Charlotte paused for a moment upon hearing his words, then smiled helplessly. âBut 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?â
Joeâs eyes grew deeper as he thought about the way Charlotteâs face had turned pale today, and his heart twinged with
pain.
âThis matter is definitely related to Sandra, and I will handle it,â Joe told Charlotte in a low voice.
Charlotte shook her head. âI can handle it. After all, sheâs from a side branch of the Faulkner Family. If I take action
against her, it would be justifiedâ¦â
Joe sneered, âSo what if sheâs from the Faulkner Family? Since Sandra dared to act recklessly, she should face the
consequences.â
Suddenly, Charlotte sat up straight, looking at him with suspicion. âDid you do something?â
Joe neither confirmed nor denied it, but he held her hand and said, âDonât worry, it wonât escalate to a loss of life.â
After Joe and Charlotte left, Sandra also departed.
She frowned and leaned against the carâs back seat, watching the incoming calls continuously flashing on her phone. It
wasnât until the caller was about to hang up that she impatiently answered, âIâve told you not to contact me all the time. I
can handle things myself⦠Ah!â
A strong impact was felt as Sandraâs phone was flung to the ground, and her head hit the back of the front seat, instantly
forming a bruise.
âWhatâs going on?â Sandra angrily glared at the driver.
The driver was also bewildered and took a while to respond, âI donât know either⦠It seems like something was wrong with
that car, and it crashed straight into usâ¦â
A chill ran down her spine as Sandra saw the culprit not far away, flashing a provocative smile at her.
