Chapter 116
Plus, he’d heard Rhodes Global was developing a luxury spa resort. If he could secure even one contract, it would solve his cash flow problems and boost his reputation.
That’s why Sharpson had asked Charlotte to come home he wanted her to make introductions.]]
Whitney had to swallow her resentment. If Vance Corporation went bankrupt, she couldn’t maintain her privileged lifestyle.[]
She had no choice but to grin and bear it.
Charlotte smiled sardonically, curious to see what they were up to.
“No thanks, Whitney.-
“Charlotte, sit down. I need to ask you something.” Sharpson said impatiently.
“What is in Charlotte responded flatly.
“What’s your relationship with Cassian Rhodes? I’ve been wanting to ask since the birthday party.” Sharpson inquired]
charlotte was momentarily stunned. She’d expected him to ask after the party, but he’d held back this long.
Of course she knew what Sharpson was scheming. She definitely wouldn’t let him have his way
“We don’t have a relationship. I asked him for a favor once, and he reluctantly agreed. But he warned me it was the last time. I have some pride–I won’t keep “bothering him,” Charlotte said casually
Sharpson frowned. “Are you telling the truth?
The way they’d interacted, laughing and talking together, it didn’t look like nothing.
Charlotte smiled self–deprecatingly. I know my place. How could I fantasize about connecting with someone like him?
Sharpson’s brow furrowed deeper, frustration building. He’d thought Charlotte might be his breakthrough, but now that hope was dashed
His tone turned harsh. I thought you might actually be useful for once. Turns out you’re just as worthless as your mother.”
When he mentioned her mother, Charlotte’s expression turned ice cold. Mr. Vanes, if you were so capable, you wouldn’t have called me here. Let me tell you–even if I did know Cassian; I wouldn’t introduce you. You’re not worthy. [
With that, Charlotte stood up and walked out. Staying even another second fell suffocating
Though she’d known what kind of person Sharpson was, having it confirmed again still disgusted her||
After Charlotte left. Whitney dropped all pretense, looking contemptuously at her retreating figures told you a man of Cassian Rhodes‘ status and position could have any woman. How could he possibly be interested in Charlotte?
Sharpson sighed, feeling overwhelmed by his problems.
Just then, Valeria came home. Seeing Charlotte’s departing figure, she asked, “What was Charlotte doing here?

Whitery said irritably. “We thought she knew Cassian Rhodes and could make introductions. Turns out they’re not even close.
“Dad, Mom, what were you thinking? How could Charlotte possibly know someone that important? she’d probably throw herself at him and he still wouldn’t want her. Don’t worry–oner Jasper and i get married, everything wiiniprove,” Valeria said smugly
Whitney nodded. “You’re right, sweetheart. Hold one pasper tight. The Hale family is top–tier–oner you become Mrs. Hale, we’ll all benefit.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I know what in doing.” Valeria replied.]
Though Jasper had seemed a bit distant lately, not as entusiastic as before, it didn’t matter. Valeria had her secret wespons
