up his tie, I didn’t expect Mr. Steward to be such a good actor. I wonder what Charlotte would think if she knew the truth about you.”

Chapter 243
Reynald leaned in close to her, whispering in her ear, I think you wouldn’t want Jaxson to know that you were so promiscuous in my bed, compared to her, right? Her expression froze, and she remained silent.
“Ms. Warren just needs to listen to me, I assure you, it will be as you wish,” Reynald said as he turned and left the room.
Caroline stood still, her face looking a bit unpleasant.
When she first started talking about working with Reynald, she never thought she would end up in bed with him.
If she hadn’t drunk too much that night and accidentally fired at him, how could she have left behind this handle!
But it didn’t matter, before becoming Mrs. Hamilton, she still needed Reynald. The Steward family may not be as wealthy and powerful as the Hamilton family, but at least Reynald could satisfy her physically, and he did have some abilities.
If it weren’t for his covert assistance, erasing the relevant evidence, those things she did would have been discovered by Jaxson’s people long ago…
Thinking of this, Caroline’s mouth curled up coldly.
Charlotte was really pitiful.
The next day
Charlotte visited Mrs. Mercado’s ward.
Darien deviated from her usual demeanor and was extremely warm towards her, even instructing her secretary to have a banner sent to her later. Charlotte thanked him for his kindness and wanted to inquire about Mrs. Mercado’s health, but she found Mrs. Mercado staring at
She wondered, “Mrs. Mercado?”
Mrs. Mercado came to her senses and asked, “What is your name?”
“Charlotte.”
her.
Ah, I ser Mrs. Mercado murmured, and her husband Darien seemed to sense something as well. He bent down and asked, “Darling, what’s wrong?” Mrs. Mercado smiled and shook her head, her gaze falling on Charlotte’s face, “It’s nothing, just that Ms. Sutton looks a lot like a friend of mine.”
Charlotte was stunned.
Darien didn’t think much about it, “It’s probably fate.”
“Yeah, it was fate.”
Mrs. Mercado couldn’t help but look at Charlotte a few more times, like, too much alike, especially those beautiful bright eyes that lit up when she smiled, so much like her best friend when she was young.
Charlotte didn’t stay long in the ward. She left only after making sure the patient was recovering well and there were no other issues.
She returned to the office and as soon as she walked in, she saw Reynald already sitting there waiting for her. He was leaning his forehead on one hand, twirling a pen in the other hand, and smiling brightly. The nurse said you were busy, so she asked me to wait here for you.”
She sat back in her seat and asked,“Reynald, why do you have so much free time today?”
I have always been available, Reynald put the pen back in the pen holder, ‘Did Mr. Hamilton come to see you yesterday?”
Charlotte was stunned.
Suddenly, Jaxson’s words echoed in my mind.
Not getting a response from her, Reynald already guessed,” admit, when I was investigating that matter for your brother before, I had a bit of selfishness, and I did intentionally push it onto Jaxson.”
