Chapter 223\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop working for Khloe. Work for me instead. Whether you want to focus on your career or you want money, I can give you whatever you want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Ethan finished speaking, Charlotte\u2019s pupils widened slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her patience had reached its limit. Taking advantage of the instant he relaxed, she shoved him away with all her strength, twisted free from beneath him, and ran.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t betray Khloe! If you try to use this against me to threaten me\u2026 I\u2019ll report you-for rape!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan had taken intimate photos of them. Charlotte, still innocent and inexperienced, felt so humiliated she wanted to disappear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew perfectly well that Ethan wasn\u2019t truly interested in her. He was only trying to use her to get at Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had agonized over it all night, unsure what to do. But seeing Ethan\u2019s face now, she decided to face everything head-on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead,\u201d he said coolly. \u201cReport me if you want. But do you have any evidence? If a scandal breaks out, who do you think can afford it? You-or me? Do you really think it would hurt me in the slightest?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan straightened his sleeves without looking back. His voice turned cold and hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCharlotte, I\u2019ll give you some time to think it over. Think carefully about your mother and your younger brother. Khloe is just your boss, not your family. She can\u2019t help you much. In the workplace, there\u2019s no such thing as lifelong loyalty. If you\u2019re useless, being discarded-or becoming someone else\u2019s burden-is an inevitable fate. People have to be responsible for themselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte knew that trying to fight Ethan on her own would be like smashing an egg against a rock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before he could say another word, she had already walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back at the banquet, Khloe immediately sensed something was off. Charlotte had been acting strangely all day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you really not feeling well? You don\u2019t have to force yourself. Why don\u2019t you head home first?\u201d Khloe said gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine, Khloe. I just\u2026 want to talk to you later,\u201d Charlotte replied, pressing her palm tightly against her thigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe nodded. \u201cAll right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had stayed on guard throughout the dinner, expecting something to happen, but to her surprise, the Keller family proved easy to work with. Although it was called a banquet, there was very little drinking-mostly expressions of thanks and discussions about the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle, the project lead accompanying them, even took the initiative to break the ice, toasting Khloe and exchanging polite pleasantries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Given Michelle\u2019s earlier emotional outbursts, Khloe had been wary of her. Yet, until the banquet ended, Michelle didn\u2019t display any inappropriate behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, the Keller family came from a scholarly background. Michelle\u2019s upbringing couldn\u2019t have been that\u00a0<\/p>\n

poor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if she\u2019d once lost her head over feelings, Nick was already married now. It was time for her to let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps, Khloe thought, she had been too guarded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the banquet, Khloe asked Charlotte to call the driver. Just as they reached the restaurant entrance,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle called out to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, may I have a word with you alone?\u201d Michelle lowered her head, her voice soft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe glanced at Charlotte. \u201cGo wait for the driver. I\u2019ll be there shortly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte nodded, cast another look at Khloe and Michelle, then turned and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re truly charming,\u201d Michelle said meaningfully. \u201cNot only is your marriage happy, even your subordinates care so deeply about you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe didn\u2019t respond to the implication. She simply asked politely, \u201cMichelle, what would you like to say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know some of my past behavior was too extreme and caused trouble for you and Nick,\u201d Michelle said sincerely. \u201cI wanted to properly apologize. The past is the past. I hope we can work well together from now on\u2026 and perhaps even become friends.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
