Chapter 80-Charles’s wife
"Don’t even think about it!" Philip spun the wheelchair’s wheels fiercely and started moving away. Marrying Janet had been a mistake from the start, and he refused to be manipulated any longer.
An innocent life had been crushed by Derrick’s cruelty, and Philip had witnessed it all. He couldn’t understand how Charles could bear the burden alone—this wasn’t right!
"Everything I’ve done is for you!" Derrick’s face darkened like a storm cloud. Charles defied him, Philip didn’t understand him—everything Derrick did was for Black Rock Co., for his sons!
"Miss, sitting here alone?" As Elvira downed her eighth beer, a young man suddenly took the empty seat beside her. She immediately waved him off with impatience, shouting, "Go away! I’m not for sale!"
Frustrated and furious, she couldn’t believe that as the eldest daughter of the Louis family, she was reduced to groveling for a man’s attention—and he hadn’t even spared her a glance!
"Charles, damn it, what do I lack compared to that little bitch?" Janet snarled, slamming down her glass. Men came and went around her, but none were Charles. Undeniably, she was beautiful now—seductive and confident. She wore a white strapless mini dress and thigh-high shorts that revealed her flawless pale skin, the generous curves of her chest barely contained, her rounded hips enticing every eye in the room. Her fiery figure could make any man’s blood race—but none had Charles’s unique charm.
"Do you think moping here will bring Charles back to you?" A familiar voice whispered in her ear. Elvira squinted, about to curse, when she saw a face more delicate and softer than any woman’s. It was Manfred.
"Surprised?" Manfred recalled this woman—Janet’s sister—the same who had pushed Janet into the pool that day. He rarely paid attention to women, but Harold had mentioned his eldest daughter more than once. Only then did he notice her presence—and her feelings for Charles.
"Manfred?" Elvira shook her head hard, doubting her eyes. But the handsome face before her was unmistakable—it was Manfred, the same one who had rejected her before. So why was he now willingly drinking with her?
