Cassian suddenly felt this tightness in his chest
Patricia’s birthday party why hadn’t Charlotte told him about it?
They were married, weren’t they?
It seemed like Charlotte still hadn’t settled into being a wife.
Did she think their marriage was just some kind of joke?
the thought made Cassian’s expression darken.
He had Philips put together some expensive gifts and headed straight to the Vance estate.
Philips had mentioned that Patricia had always been good to Charlotte

What had she done to deserve this kind of attention?
She never would have dreamed of having any connection to Cassian Rhodesi
Patricia quickly stood up. “Mr… Mr. Rhodes! Welcome, welcome! What an honor!]
Cassian spoke politely. “Mrs. Vance, wishing you health and happiness.”
He then presented the elegant gift boxes he’d brought–premium French champagne, rare vintage wine, imported Swiss chocolates, luxury spa vouchers, and a stunning Hermès silk scarf.||
It was short notice, so he had had time to prepare more]
Thank you so much! Having you here is such an honor These gifts are way too generous, Patricia sald excitedly

He asked directly.
Actually, part of why?

He’d heard Sharpson was a deadbeat who’d abandoned Charlotte and her mother.
If he dared to mistreat Charlotte, Cassian would make sure he regretted it.
Charlotte?” Sharpson looked confused for a moment, then it clicked, “Oh right, right! Ana was just here. I’ll have someone go find her.“[]
But Sharpson’s mind was racing with questions.
Why would Cassian suddenly ask about Charlotte?
Was there some connection between them?||
Sharpson was getting a really bad feeling about this
