We're clearly not in the same class” Alice's response was sharp, and immediate.“What?”Charlie's greatly dumbfounded by his wife's response because she knew he was poor when they started, but she had still loved him and promised to spend eternity with him.“Are you listening to yourself right now? Baby, what happened to our promise? We promised to love each other, no matter what happens, are you going to throw all those promises away?”Alice sighed tiredly.“Yes, I've thrown them away because being with you isn't beneficial to me. My business needs growth, and I need people of high prestige for that to happen…" Alice looked at Charlie from head to toe and

The Unexpected Heir Embarrassment
Chapter ThreeCharlie came to a sudden halt, a sneer twisting his lips as doubt flickered in his eyes. “Is this even real?” he questioned, his tone laced with skepticism. The man before him, filled with an air of confidence, reached into his pocket and pulled out a neatly folded invitation. With a flick of his wrist, he presented it to Charlie, showcasing the words that confirmed its authenticity.“If you're willing to humble yourself, get down on your knees, and beg me,” the man stated, his voice dripping with arrogance, “then I might consider helping you.”Alice furrowed her brows, recognizing the man's actions as nothing more than a display of his capabilities. Despite his attempts to impress her, she knew deep down that her heart could never belong to him. Her presence at this party was fueled solely by the pursuit of a potential business opportunity, nothing more, nothing less.Charlie's expression twisted into a sneer, withholding any response as he patiently awaited his butler

Chapter Five“If you didn't divorce me because of him, why did you just stand there and watch him humiliate me?” he asked, his voice laced with a mix of hurt and confusion.“I don't understand you are talking about,” she responded, her tone growing angrier. “So you expected me to put up a fight for you? Aren't you a man? Can't you stand up for yourself?” she scoffed unbelievably. “If you're a real man, as you claim to be, you should either fight back yourself or accept his offer. How can a real man rely on a woman to fight for him?”Her words hit Charlie harder than he had anticipated, her words felt like a slap in the face. Although, he had expected those words from her, he still couldn't help but feel hurt and angry.

It's about everything else that's tied up in it""I understand that there's a lot of history and emotion tied up in this situation," the general manager said, his tone empathetic.
