Charlotte walked past them with a cold expression, not even sparing then a glance.
us.”
After she was gone, Lucinda nudged Sean’s arm. “Hey, talk about coincidence. Your ex just happens to be on the same flight as us.
Sean lowered his eyes and didn’t respond.
“Tskisk, look at your face. So dark and broody,” she teased. “Man, you’re hard to deal with.”

The next morning, Charlotte anived at the golf course with Tim.
She was dressed in an all–white athletic outfit, her hair tied up in a high ponytail. Fresh–faced, energetic, and youthful, she immediately caught the attention of Gales Lloyd, the president of TH Corporation, whose eyes lit up the moment he saw her.
Tim introduced them. “Mr. Lloyd, this is Charlotte Riley from our finn.”
Charlotte offered a polite smile. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lloyd,”
That smile practically made Galus’s heart flutter.
*Well, I didn’t expect your firm to have such a young and beautiful attomey,” he said with a chuckle.
Charlotte smiled politely but said nothing. Tim laughed along, playing the social game.
“Do you play golf often, Miss Riley?” cuius asked.
Charlotte shook her head. “just a little. I wouldn’t say I’m a regular.”
Hearing that, Galus saw his opening and smiled wider. “No worries- I can teach you.”
Just then, a man’s voice cut in “What’s all the fun about over here?”
Charlotte froze in place.
Sean was walking toward them, with someone following close behind
Galus immediately straightened up, all the previous smugness gone from his voice. His tone tumed respectful.
“Mr. Jasper, you’re here to golf too? I was just chatting with Miss Riley about her hobbies and get a little carried away. Hope we didn’t disturb you.”
Charlotte’s fingers tightened slightly around the hem of her skin. She lifted her eyes, met Sean’s gaze, and greeted him with cool politeness. “Hi, Mr. Jasper.”
Tim didn’t recognize Sean personally as he didn’t pay much attention to entertainment gossip. He vaguely knew who Lucinda was, but hadn’t heard the rumors about her and Sean. He had no idea that the CEO of Jasper Corporation standing in front of him was Charlotte’s ex–fiancé
Tim rarely dealt with people of Sean’s social rank, but he was sharp enough to read the room. Seeing how respectfully Galus treated this young man, he instantly understood that Sean’s status was not to be taken lightly.
He quickly followed suit and gave a respectful nod. “Hi, Mr. Jasper.”
Sean’s gaze landed on Curlotte
She was wearing makeup today. Her high ponytail and sporty outfit made her look like a college student–fresh–faced and full of life. No wonder that sleazy old man couldn’t stop staring
His eyes drifted lower, catching a glimpse of her long, slender legs under the golf sidet. His brows furrowed slightly
She looked stunning. But she was standing there, smiling and chatting with two older men. A wave of init–ion rose in his chest
He had bull a mind to shrug off his coat, tie it around her waist, and chase those two men away.
Forcing himself to tamp down the jealousy and frustration, Sean kept his expression blank and his vole cool “Yeah, you were kind of disturbing.”
Galus bowed his head slightly, full of apologies. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Jasper. I’ll keep it down.”
Sean gave a faint pod “Canyon.”
With that, he turned and walked away.
He wasn’t here for business today. He had come to galt with a friend who had just retumed from Atlantis.
His friend was Noah Sanith. Thanks to his help, the Joseph red project overseas had progressed so quickly.
Once they were out of earshot, Noah glanced at Sean with wide eyes and whispered, “Wait a second wasn’t that your fianobe? Wh Hangers?”
Why were you two acting like
Noah had Immigrated to Atlantis more than ten years ago. He had never met Charlotte in person, but years ago, he had seen her photo at Sean’s villa. Backthen,
Sean had told him she was the girl he had secretly been in love with for years.
Later, Noah had even flown back to attend their engagement party, When he realized the woman Sean was marrying was the same girl he had pined over for so long he had genuinely congratulated him.
Afterall, Sean had finally gotten the girl he had waited for.
“We broke up,” Sean said flatly.
“What?” Noah looked shocked, “Why? You waited over a decade for her. Everything finally worked out. Why would you break up just like that?”
A nearby caddy handed Sean a golf club. He took it, stepped up, and sent the ball flying across the green with a powerful swing
“I didn’t want her getting hurt. Bring with me almost cost her her life.”
Noah’s expression sobered. He finally understood.
Back during their engagement, Charlotte’s younger sister had been kidnapped. Sean had been seriously injured trying to save her. The engagement was called ott
Eventually, it came out that the kidnapping had been orchestrated by Sean’s adopted sister–with support from none other than Joseph Ford.
