Chapter 5
The doctor removed the glass fragments from Charlotte’s legs, bandaged the wounds, and advised her to be careful, keep the wounds dry, and rest.
“How does it feel? Can you walk?”
Charlotte tried a few steps. It hurt, but she could manage.
“Why don’t you stay in the hospital tonight? Rest, and tomorrow Mr. Sullivan can pick you up?”
Charlotte shook her head. “No need. I can manage. You may go now. I need to rest.”
“Okay, Mrs. Sullivan. I won’t disturb you further.”
With that, the doctor left, gently closing the door behind him.
Outside, people were speaking in hushed tones.
“How did this happen? Mrs. Sullivan used to always have Mr. Sullivan by her side whenever she came to the hospital. Now he’s not only absent but brought another woman here!”
“Judging by how worried he looked, their relationship must be special.”
“Probably his mistress. I never thought Mason and Charlotte would fall apart like this.”
Back then, their relationship had been the talk of the town.
Mr. Sullivan had even held a press conference announcing he was cutting ties with his son.
He thought this would make Mason back down.
But he didn’t.
The incident became public knowledge, establishing Mason’s reputation as a devoted husband.
Yet after just five short years, his burning love had been given to another woman.
Pushing down the ache in her heart, Charlotte closed her eyes, ignoring the noise outside, and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke the next morning, she went straight to the company.
“Starting today, Sophia is our company’s new advertising planner. None of you are to bully her.”
“But sir, new planners need a portfolio of work to join the planning department. Sophia doesn’t have one!”
“Who says she doesn’t? Here’s her work.”
When Mason presented design sketches that she had spent several nights creating, Charlotte’s heart died completely.
For Sophia, he would truly do anything.
The mighty CEO had stolen her design plan.

“Wow, this is Sophia’s work?”
“It’s actually quite good!”
“Not worse than Ms. West’s work at all!”
Everyone murmured in discussion. Sophia smiled smugly. “If there’s anything I don’t understand in the future, I’ll be counting on everyone’s guidance.”
“Is this really your work?” Charlotte scoffed.
Everyone looked up at her. “Ms. West.”
Mason narrowed his almond–shaped eyes. “Charlie, do you object? Or have you forgotten what happened yesterday? By the way, my sick mother–in–law wasn’t feeling well last night…”
The cold words washed over her heart. Charlotte looked at Mason’s impassive face and laughed bitterly.
He was actually using her mother’s life to threaten her?
He knew perfectly well that her mother was the person she cared about most.
Her lips trembled as she spoke hoarsely, “I have no objections. How could I dare to?”
“Also, Sophia has a delicate constitution and needs three hours of sunlight daily. Your office gets good light. Give it to her.”
Everyone exchanged glances, holding their breath.
With Charlotte’s temperament, she surely wouldn’t agree.
But Charlotte did agree.
“Fine. I’ll move out.”
er agreement, Sophia happily pressed her soft chest against Mason’s arm, cooing, “Thank you, Mr. Sullivan, and thank
Test.”
he adoration about to overflow from Mason’s eyes, Charlotte smiled coldly.
a wanted the design plan? Charlotte would give it to her.
She wanted the office? Charlotte would give it to her.
She wanted Mason? Charlotte would give him to her too.
She would give everything away. And Charlotte would keep nothing.
