Carlos glanced over curiously toward the commotion.

Jacob quickly stepped in, blocking his line of sight. “Mr. Stoddard, let's head over and order first. Mr. Harrison has
spersonal matters to attend to.”
Carlos chuckled and withdrew his gaze. “Alright, let's order first.”
The group then made their way to the private room.

Pete had a faint smile on his face as he said, “I finished my studies in carving and opened a small shop. You
know how it is in our line of work, land one deal occasionally, and the returns are good enough. Every t|
wrap up a job, | take off to travel. I've almost seen the entire world by now.”
He looked at Charlotte. “And you? As Arthur's wife, have you traveled to a lot of places over the years?”
Charlotte fell silent.

Forget about traveling abroad; she hadn't even seen all of her own country.
For five years, she had poured her heart into chasing love, devoting herself to Arthur and Julius, only to receive
nothing but endless indifference in return.

shouldn't have brought that up.”
Charlotte forced a faint smile. “It’s fine. I'm used to it.”

Pete chuckled softly, then handed her a drink. “Here, have some. It's sweet, and it might make you feel a little
better.”
“Thank you.”
Charlotte forced a smile, but from the corner of her eye, she noticed a familiar figure approaching.
She turned her head immediately, and sure enough, Arthur walked over, pulled out the chair next to hers, and
sat down. His strikingly handsface carried an aloof and icy demeanor, exuding an air of elegance.
“Going out to eat without inviting me, huh?”
As he sat, Arthur casually draped an arm across the back of Charlotte's chair, a possessive gesture that closed
the distance between them. His deep, attractive eyes rested on her face as he spoke in a calm yet probing tone.
Charlotte frowned, her delicate brows furrowing. “What are you doing here?”
Arthur smirked faintly. “That's a bit distant, isn’t it? We're husband and wife. If we end up in the srestaurant,
doesn’t that show we're in sync?”
He then turned his gaze to Pete. “Don’t you think so?”
Pete's smile faded slightly at Arthur's arrival. Though they had

3/4 met before, Pete could now feel the commanding presence of the man before him. Arthur exuded a regal
aura, a refined nobility honed by wealth and intelligence, coupled with an unyielding sharpness. It was a
demeanor impossible for ordinary people to emulate.
“So this is the president of the Harrison Group,” he thought.
“Not exactly,” Pete replied his tone calm but laced with a hint of provocation. “If there really were such
synchronicity, you wouldn't be eating separately without saying a word to each other.”

Now aware of Arthur's identity, Pete showed no deference. Instead, his words deliberately struck a nerve.
Arthur's expression darkened, his cold aura spreading like a storm. His sharp and oppressive presence bore down
on Pete, his gaze brimming with anger and hostility.
“This is the kind of fun we have in our marriage. You seem quite interested in other people’s private matters?”
Charlotte interjected, her voice firm. “I'm having dinner with a friend. Can you stop causing trouble?”
Arthur turned his gaze back to her, his tone nonchalant yet resolute. “You're my wife. Your friends are my friends.
This meal is on me.”
Charlotte resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Her voice turned colder. “Then can you leave now?”
Instead of complying, Arthur suddenly pulled her closer,

“Charlotte,” Arthur murmured, his voice low and dangerous, “don’t test me. A man like him? Crushing him would
be far too easy.”
