<b>Chapter </b><b>229 </b>
No wonder she could be a director in just three years! After finalizing the surgical n for tomorrow, Charlotte adjourned the meeting. Everyone <b>else </b>left, <b>and </b>she was the only <b>one </b>left in the conference room tidying up.
<b>Jaxson </b>walked towards her in silence.
Charlotte picked up herptop and the files on the desk. There were too many things, she couldn’t pick them all up at once, and the folder slipped to the ground.
She instinctively wanted to catch it with her foot, but her foot moved too fast and ended up kicking it away.
The foldernded right at Jaxson’s feet.
The man couldn’t help but chuckle, breaking the silence.
Charlotte gritted her teeth and walked over to pick it up, steeling herself.
Mr. Mercado had a good reputation. If the surgery is sessful tomorrow, it will only benefit you in this industry, not harm you.”
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up and said, “What does Mr. Hamilton’s reminder mean? Does he not want this surgery to be sessful?”
His gaze was deep, as if some emotion shed through,“Do you have to talk to me like this?”
How do you want me to talk to you then? Charlotte looked at him, “Like before, pretending to listen to you only, enduring your silent treatment?”
Charlotte, he said, his eyes deep and unreadable, “there were reasons for what happened in the past.”
I know, you just think I drove Caroline away with your grandmother<b>, </b>right? Fine, I admit it now.”
Charlotteughed, “It was me, I deliberately drove Caroline away. Are you satisfied?”
Seeing his expressionless face, Charlotte assumed he believed her and was going to take his anger out on her. This was just perfect, maybe he would sign the divorce papers without hesitation.
She waited for half a <b>day</b><b>, </b>but she didn’t see the man “take out his anger on her.”
Jaxson <b>squinted </b>his eyes<b>, </b>with a whirlpool stirring in the depths like the bottom <b>of </b>the sea, “So, <b>in </b>the end, you were still causing trouble with me because
of Caroline.”
Causing trouble?
Charlotte looked at him incredulously andughed, “Jaxson, do you really think I’m still joking with you at this point?” She suppressed her smile, “I’m not joking, please find time to sign the divorce agreement.”
She was about to <b>leave </b>when Jaxson grabbed <b>her </b><b>arm </b><b>and </b>pulled <b>her </b>into his arms, “Have you asked Grandma about the divorce?”
She couldn’t break <b>free </b>and could only use her elbow to push him away, “I asked you before, don’t you remember? The night I first mentioned divorce.”
