Chapter 292
On the way to the hospital, Charlotte called Mia and Lena to let them know she was safe and told them not to worry
By the time she arrived at the hotel and met up with Sophie, it was already dinnertime.
Charlotte glanced at her watch. “Let’s go grab something to eat.”
“Sure,” Sophie replied.
“What are you in the mood for?
Sophie gave a small smile. “I am fine with anything.”
“Alright, let’s check what is nearby.”
After dinner, Charlotte said, “You can go ahead and submit your resume through the normal process at the firm. They will arrange the interview.”
“Okay.”
“Have you found a place to stay yet?” Charlotte asked, referring to whether Sophie had secured an apartment.
“Not yet,” Sophie replied.
Charlotte nodded. “I will ask someone to help you look”
Sophie quickly waved her hands. “Charlotte, you really do not have to trouble anyone. I can handle it myself.”
“Why are you being polite with me? You barely know your way around Jersey City. I do not want you getting scammed.
Sophie hesitated, then said softly, “Then… thank you.”
“It is no trouble,” Charlotte said, glancing at the time, “I will take you back to the hotel first. I have something else to take care of later.”
“Alright”

“Lottie! You finally answered. Where are you? Are you okay? Did Joseph Ford do anything to you?” It was Zac’s voice.
Charlotte’s fingers tightened around the phone. A wave of anger shot through her.
She forced herself to stay calm and replied coldly, “Me? Thanks to you, I almost lost my life. As it happens, I am right outside your office building Why don’t you come down and talk?‘‘
You are outside my building?” Zac sounded surprised and asked again to confirm.
Charlotte spoke impatiently. “Stop wasting

Zar hurried to agree. “Alright, wait for me in the lobby. I will be right there

Noticing Charlotte’s gaze, Wendy tumed and caught sight of her. She hesitated mid–step, her brow furrowing
“Charlotte Riley?” Wendy’s heart skipped a beat, her expression darkening. She strode over. “What are you doing here?”
Seated on the sofa, Charlotte looked up at her, her time casual and laced with sarcasm. “Oh, it’s you. For a second there, I thought you were one of my sisters. When did you start copying my style? Trying to pull off that whole imitation act?”
