Agnes was sobbing uncontrollably, her body shaking as she choked out. “It was all Sophia's idea! I've already
been fired! Please, can you letgo? I'm begging you...”
Charlotte took a deep breath, turning to Jayce. “Let her go.”
Jayce nodded, but his gaze remained gloomy.

His striking features seemed paler, and the beauty mark beneath his eye took on an eerie, haunting quality.
Once they were back in the car, shielded from the cold wind, Charlotte felt her limbs gradually warming up.
She glanced at Jayce and said, “Thank you for standing up for me, but | hope you won't do something like that
again.”
Jayce asked, confusion shadowing his face, “Why not? When someone hurts you, shouldn't you retaliate?”
That was a fair point, but the violence wasn’t the answer.
Charlotte opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but as she met his clear, questioning gaze, the words fell away.
She thought, “He did that for me. To criticize him would be a

After a moment's hesitation, she finally said, “This might make your insomnia worse. It could aggravate your
condition.”
She knew Jayce was dealing with more than just depression. His obsessive tendencies ran deep, revealing a dark
side that lurked beneath the surface.
Just the way he had so calmly wielded that knife was telling,
The more he was involved in such situations, the more twisted his character became.

happy.”
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat-something felt off.
She thought, “Is it really right to interpret it that way?”
“Mr. Caldwell, you...”
Jayce interrupted her, sincerity flooding his voice, “I'll remember what you said. If you don’t wantto do
something, | won't.”
Charlotte was left speechless.

This definitely wasn’t the direction she'd expected this to take.
She slowly averted her gaze, realizing that whatever she said now wouldn’t change anything.
Silence enveloped the car as they drove back, the atmosphere thick with tension, quite the opposite of the trip
there.
Inside, her emotions swirled-fear, shock, and an unexpected heaviness weighed on her.
When she returned to Starlight Terrace, the familiar sight of a figure in the lobby drew her attention.

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, a chill of detachment creeping across her face as she recognized the man.
Arthur strode towards her with purpose, reaching out to touch her pale cheek. “Where have you been? You look
awful.”
Charlotte stepped back, avoiding his touch. “It’s none of your business.”
With that, she turned and headed for the elevator.
Jayce followed closely behind, his expression now blank as he threw a quick glance at Arthur.
Arthur's attractive features were marred by an indescribable emotion; despite her icy demeanor, he seemed only
slightly - annoyed. He didn’t react much beyond that.
Chapfer 239 Remember What You Said As for Jayce? Arthur completely ignored him.

The spacious elevator suddenly felt cramped with three people inside, mainly due to the towering height of the
two men taking up a lot of space.
Charlotte stood there, pulling out her phone to check her messages, trying to find a distraction.
As the elevator slowly ascended, it paused first at Jayce’s floor, but he didn’t step out when the doors opened.
