1/4
Charlotte was hungry. After finishing dinner, she settled at the table to cal.
Arthur pulled out a chair across from her, glancing over the simple spread of dishes. His mind drifted
momentarily.
In the past, she had gone out of her way to perfect meals just for him, eagerly watching for his reaction.
But now, it was clear Charlotte didn’t care whether he liked her cooking or not.
The atmosphere at the table was thick with silence, broken only by the occasional clink of forks against plates.
With so much on her mind, Charlotte hardly touched her food. After a few bites, she set her fork down and picked
up her phone to check for messages.
Arthur watched her and finally spoke up, “I can have those trending topics taken down.”
“No need,” Charlotte replied, not bothering to look up.
Taking down the trending topics would only make her seem guilty. She preferred to let her actions speak for
themselves.
Arthur frowned, concern creeping into his voice. “If those topics

stay up, you could attract the wrong kind of attention. You're putting yourself in danger.”
Finally, Charlotte met his gaze, her expression calm.
“Then arrange for a few bodyguards to keepsafe.”
“I'll get you the protection you need, and I'll handle the online situation, too,” he assured her.
It was strange.
Tonight, there was no biting sarcasm or sharp retorts between them.
The atmosphere felt oddly harmonious, yet an invisible chasm lingered between them, deep and
insurmountable.
“Thanks,” Charlotte said, standing up and heading toward the bedroom.
After a couple of steps, she turned back and added, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
Arthur's mood soured instantly.
He stared at her, his expression darkening. “You're really going to kickout this late?”
Charlotte shrugged. “You didn’t drink, so you can drive. What, you wantto give you a ride home?”

Her nonchalant attitude about him leaving irked him.
Arthur mused, “Doesn’t she remember we are married?
We haven't been apart for five years except for my occasional business trips!”
Regret washed over him for having allowed her memories to
return.

The distance between them seemed to have widened even more.
He recalled Gideon's words, if she remembered everything and still wanted a divorce, what would he do?
Arthur had said, “Then let her go.”
But now, with the future looming ahead, a sense of unease gripped him.
Arthur stood up abruptly, striding toward the door.
He could feel her words hanging in the air, threatening to cut deeper if he lingered.
The door slammed shut behind him.
Charlotte turned away, shaking off the tension, and headed straight for the shower. As she stepped out, her
phone buzzed with Diana's call.
“Hello, Diana,” she answered, her tone brightening.

Diana said, “I found something. | sent it to your email. Take a
look.”
“Great!” Charlotte felt a rush of excitement. With evidence in hand, she could finally stand her ground.

Diana continued, her tone shifting, “Oh, and there's something else about the incident from five years ago. |
discovered another surveillance camera that caught the face of the person who drugged.”
Charlotte's breath hitched, anxiety creeping in. “Can you find out who it is?”
“It was impossible before, but now we can. I've sent you the details. The person isn’t currently in the country,
though.”

Charlotte eagerly opened her email and was met with a high-resolution photo.
It showed a young woman in a janitor’s uniform leaning over a cup and slipping something inside.
The surveillance angle was clever; it only captured her, leaving everyone else out of frame.
Below the photo was the information Diana had uncovered.
Joanna Meyers, female, 25 years old, had moved abroad three
years ago.
Her work history was unstable. She had done various jobs, the most recent being a food delivery driver.
Charlotte memorized the woman's face.
“Diana, thank you,” she said, relief washing over her.
Diana’s tone was cool and pragmatic. “It was a simple task. Now that you have evidence, what's your plan
regarding the trending topics?”
Charlotte scoffed, a smirk creeping onto

Sounds like you have
a strategy. If you run into any trouble, just letknow.”
“Absolutely. Once this is all sorted, I'll take you out for dinner,” Charlotte said before hanging up.
As she scanned the rest of the email, cold determination appeared in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Arthur sat in his car, the dim light casting shadows. across his face.
Grace's voice broke through the silence. “Mr. Harrison, I've figured out what happened tonight. It all started
when Sophia's assistant posted a photo on Twitter, accusing Mrs. Harrison of intentional harm. With Mrs.
Harrison's own photos circulating, the backlash was intense. Sophia’s extrfans are now rallying against her.
The assistant reached out to sof Sophia’s more fervent followers, promising them exclusive photos if they
took action against Mrs. Harrison.”
Arthur clenched his cigarette between his fingers, his expression unreadable.
“Make sure they pay for this.”
“Understood,” Grace replied, taking note of his tone.

Arthur took a drag from the cigarette and asked, “Has Sophia been involved in this?”

“I haven't been able to confirm that,” Grace said.
She mused, “The information | have is only what's online.

What if Sophia discussed this directly with her assistant, or the assistant acted on her own?
It's hard to say without evidence.”
Arthur's voice turned icy. “Tell Director Parkey to find a new lead actress for the film.”
Sophia had just signed a contract to star in Cordell Parkey’s new movie.
Grace's eyes widened slightly at the implication.
She realized this was Arthur's way of punishing Sophia.
Whether she was involved or not, he held her accountable.
It was clear he cared deeply for Charlotte, but their relationship was so complicated.
Still, Grace reminded herself, “I'm just an assistant; this isn’t my business.”
The next day, Charlotte marched into Sophia’s stuand approached the receptionist.

“Tell Sophia | want to see her within the hour, or | won't be so polite.”
The receptionist blinked, then snorted in disbelief. “Are you out of your mind? Do you know who Sophia is? You
think you can just waltz in here and threaten her?”
Charlotte’s smile was icy. “Just let her know that if she doesn’t show up, | can easily strip her of her title as queen
of the
screen.”
Setting aside her identity as Arthur's wife, the Hardwick family had its own influence in the entertainment
industry. If she decided to take action, Sophia would be left in ruins.
The receptionist, initially poised to fire off another retort, found herself at a loss for words under Charlotte's
fierce gaze.
Without waiting for a response, Charlotte headed straight to the waiting room.
The receptionist reluctantly dialed Sophia’s manager, relaying Charlotte's ultimatum.
