Chapter 24: Let Me Try It Next Time
After hanging up the phone, Charlotte almost sped to the Gilt Bronze Café.
She followed the instruction she had received to a table and saw a slender man wearing a cap sitting
by the table. Half of his face was concealed purposefully by the cap he was wearing.
The man looked upwards and saw Charlotte who was also wearing sunglasses and a cap. He curled
his lips into a smile, “Miss Garcia, we are quite in tune with each other.”
Charlotte kept her head low as she pulled a chair for herself. Then, she broached the subject directly,
“Sir, I have a prerequisites before signing the contract. If my families were found, please keep it a
secret and assure them safe.”
Once this matter was exposed, she couldn’t imagine what would Evelyn do to her father and brother.
The man laughed lightly, “This smells like trouble.”
Charlotte pursed her lips and pushed for the bank card containing the remaining two million yuan.
“I implore you.”
The man stood up and took the bank card and pocketed it.
“This is the first time I have seen someone pay me the full amount upfront. Seeing that you are so
trusting in me, Miss Garcia, I will find your family for you.”
“But keep in mind that this is no simple business. I need time, so…”
With a loud slap, Charlotte slammed the bank card containing one million yuan onto the table.
She bore her reddened eyes at the man and punctuated her words, “You have at most a week. I don’t
want to wait for one more day.”
…
Half an hour later, Charlotte and the man left the café one after the other, and the two of them remained
drooped as they disappeared into the stream of people walking on the street.
At a corner of the street which was close to the café, a black car was parked silently.
Allison was seated in the backseat as she narrowed her eyes in the direction where Charlotte had left.
Her mouth curled into a cold smile.
After a moment, someone hurriedly pulled the car door and entered the back seat.
“Miss, the opposition party is a famous detective whose expertise is finding people. He only focuses on
finding missing people as his source of income. Charlotte has contacted him because she wants to
look for her father and younger brother who are currently missing.”
Upon hearing that, Allison felt very surprised.
“Finding missing people? Aren’t her father and brother staying overseas now? Or could it be that her
stepmother…”
A slight crease formed on Allison’s forehead as she left her words hanging. After a moment of silence,
she came back to her senses and a strange smile took over her face.
“So that’s how it is.”
“Miss, do you need me to assign another person to investigate Charlotte thoroughly?”
“No need for that.”
Allison shook her head.
“Lawrence has found a new blood donor, so I don’t need to waste energy on that matter anymore. The
only imminent problem is to settle once and for all his ex which is a bother so that in the future I can be
his wife without any problems.”
“Find someone to tail that man. Whatever he discovers, I need to know all information sooner than
Charlotte.”
…
A few days had passed in the blink of an eye.
At eleven o’clock at night, Charlotte who was curled up on the sofa lifted her head to check the clock.
She subconsciously let out a sigh.
Lawrence would arrive at ten o’clock sharp every time and pressed her on the ground before torturing
her like mad. Then, he would leave without staying overnight.
It was very likely that he wouldn’t come anymore at this hour.
Just as she was about to get up, her phone which was next to her rang.
It was Jeffrey.
As soon as the call connected, his apologetic voice at the other end sounded, “Miss Garcia, Mr. Harris
has drunk a lot tonight and I can’t take him away. He personally wants you to come to get him on your
own, so you see…”
Upon hearing that, Charlotte laughed bitterly, “Do I have the right to say no?”
After hanging up the phone, without delaying for even a second, she departed and hailed a taxi to a
location sent to her by Jeffrey.
After arriving the destination, a waiter led her through a corridor and stopped in front of the last suite
there.
When the door was flung open, a strong alcoholic scent wafted up from within.
Several men were scattered along the length of the sofa and they were all holding wine glasses and
cigarettes. The whole place was shrouded in an alcoholic scent and smoke.
Lawrence was sitting in the innermost part of the sofa and he had his legs crossed. With the dim
lighting in the suite, his face could not be seen clearly.
At the sight of Charlotte, the group of men immediately whistled loudly.
“Hey! It seems that our Mr. Harris has a special taste in choosing his ex. This little model isn’t half bad,
and although she is just a little on the thin side, you can handle her with just one hand. Mr. Harris, she
feels great, right?”
Lawrence who was in one corner laughed mockingly, “I will try that next time. Our usual posture is
doing it on the floor and entering from behind. This is what she asks for.”
Immediately, the whole place erupted with laughter.
“Her appearance wouldn’t tell me that. It seems that this little girl has a special taste.”
Charlotte’s hand which was dangling on her side slowly clenched, and under the dim lights, her face
didn’t have any colour.
He was deliberately humiliating her.
She pursed her lips as she tried to ward off those mocking laughter. She fixated her gaze at a point in
darkness and said softly, “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
With a loud smashing sound, a wine bottle suddenly careened towards her from the darkness and
landed next to Charlotte’s legs. It was immediately broken into pieces.
“Charlotte, is that how you speak to your owner? Don’t forget your place!”
His cold voice came again, which made everyone else silent. They all exchanged glances before
leaving the suite with a meaningful look on their faces.
The door was shut behind her.
Charlotte was taken aback, and the man suddenly rose from the darkness and pulled her into his
embrace. He then pressed her onto the sofa and pulled up her skirt. He bent down to bite her
shoulders too. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
