Chapter 195
Quinn’s expression darkened, and she stayed silent…
Wendy kept talking, her tone casual but dripping with mockery. “I heard those bikes are crazy expensive–hundreds of thousands for just one. I don’t get it. It’s just a fancy motorcycle. Is it really worth that much? And I heard he got flirty with that one influencer–the one who went viral recently. He pretended to be single and got exposed. Lucky you broke up with him. You dodged a bullet, girl!
“Come on, cheers!” Wendy raised her glass and clinked it against Quinn’s, a faint, mocking smile in her eyes.
“Haha. Trying to mess with me? You’re still too naive,” Wendy silently remarked.
She sipped her drink, already plotting her next move. If Quinn was acting snarky, it meant the others in their circle were probably laughing at her behind her back
Wendy was determined to win Zac over, and she would make those people eat their words.
On Monday, Charlotte arrived at the law firm.
She had already prepared the arbitration application and evidence for Matthew’s case. Today, the needed to submit the documents to the Social Security Office.
The Bentley Continental that Sean gave her was too flashy for work, so she usually drove a low–key BMW when attending court or meeting clients
The Social Security Office didn’t have parking spaces directly outside, so she parked at an open lot a short distance inway. From there, she had to cross a busy street.
Charlotte stood at the curb, waiting for the light to turn green.
Suddenly, a strong force showed her from behind.
Charlotte had no time to react. She stumbled forward, completely losing her balance
Right in front of her was a busy main road, cars rushing by. The pedestrian light was ced.
A speeding car couldn’t stop in time. The driver’s eyes widened in horror as his while hurtled straight toward Charlotte.
In that split second, it felt like the saw death reaching out for her.
But just before disaster struck, one of her bodyguards longed forward, his strong hands grabbing her and yanking her back
It all happened in barely a second.
Charlotte stood there, gasping for air, her heart pounding violently in her chest.
It took her a moment to regain her senses
She had almost died.
“Ma’am, are you okay?” The bodyguard who saved her asked, his face pale with tear,
For a moment, he had thought they might have to report a tragedy to Sean.
Fortunately, the car had been far enough away, giving him just enough time to save her
s’am, this guy pushed you” The other bodyguard had planed down a thin, scruffy man, twisting his arms behind his back
Charlotte’s lieart was still racing, her body trembling slightly. She was in shock
“You who are you? Why did you push me? Hervelor quivered.
The man’s eyes darted around nervously. “LI didn’t mean to. It was an accident. I’m sorry I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to
“You’re lying,” the bodyguard said coldly.
“No, no, I swear it was an anident! I didn’t mean to
The bodyguard twisted his arm, dislocating it.
“ahhh!” The man serated in agony.
The traffic light turned green, and the pedestrians who had been watching the scene lost interest, crossing the street and leaving only the four of them standing
there
Malam, I saw it with my own eyes. He reached out and pushed you. He did it on purpose.”
Charlotte’s brows batted together, anger flaring Inler eyes “Why did you push me?
But the man was too overwhelmed by pain to speak, his face twisted in agusy.
“Fine. If you won’t talk, I’m calling the police.”
