She barely got a word out before Zac’s furious voice cut her off
“Wendy! Do you have any idea what you’ve done?” He shouted, “You actually dared to spread lies online, calling Charlotte a homewrecker? You know damn well who the real homewrecker is. Don’t you?“!

Zac’s voice was ice–cold. “Charlotte’s law firm has already sent you a legal notice. I won’t be helping you with this. You’re on your ownL

Charlotte turned away sharply.
“I’m fine,” she said coldly. “You don’t need to worry about me.”
Sean hesitated. “I’ve already contacted the platform. Wendy’s account has been permanently banned.”
“Well, thanks for that,” Charlotte replied flatly.
Sean fell silent
“if there’s nothing else, you can leave. I have work to do. I don’t have time to waste on you. Goodbye.” Without another word, Charlotte turned on her heel and walked away.
