Riches in Disguise

Everyone stopped and looked at Charlotte. She was standing next to a man in a button-up shirt who was sitting on the sofa. I thought I recognized the Rolex watch on his wrist.

Matthew immediately recognized the man. "That's the heir to the Arnoult Group, Alexander Arnoult!"

Now that he mentioned it, I finally recognized him too. I never expected to see him again so soon.

Charlotte walked straight to Alexander and hugged his arm. "What a coincidence! Alexander, do you remember me?"

Alexander looked uncomfortable. He put down his wine glass and asked,

"Charlotte, what do you want?"

Charlotte replied arrogantly, "Pfft. What do I want? Don't you remember what you did?"

I had never seen her this cocky before. It felt so strange. It felt like yesterday when she was panicking and sobbing in the dorm, begging for help.

Alexander remained seated and said coldly, "I do remember what I did, but I have already apologized and compensated for the damage. What more do you want from me?"

"Apologize? Compensate? Do you actually think I care about any of that?"

Charlotte saw the wine glass on the table, so she picked it up and splashed it at Alexander. Matthew and I were shocked.

To be honest, Alexander was right. He had already apologized and compensated for the damage, so it was time for her to let it go. Why was she still so hostile toward him?

Alexander didn't get upset. He just remained seated and calmly wiped the wine off his face.

"Ms. Hayes, you're going overboard. You should let it go."

At that moment, Alexander's friends stood up and glared at Charlotte.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"How dare you lay hands on Alexander? Do you have a death wish?"

"Alexander, who is this girl? How dare she treat you like this?"noveldrama

Charlotte sneered. "What? Do you want to stand up for him? Both he and his dad will have to get on their knees if my dad asks them to. I'll do whatever I want!"

Alexander's friends were stunned. They would have never thought so little of Alexander.

"You don't believe me? Fine! I'll show you what I'm capable of. Alexander, kneel down now."

Immediately, Alexander and his friends' faces darkened. Matthew and I were even more shocked. That was way too much. He had already apologized. Why was she being so relentless?

Not only was she putting Alexander in a tough spot, but she was also making it difficult for the president of the Business Association.

I decided to intervene. "Charlotte, enough! He didn't even do anything to you just now, and it's been a while since that incident happened..."

"Shut up!" Charlotte snapped at me. "Since when was it your turn to speak? Get lost!"

Then, she turned around and glared at Alexander. "Are you kneeling or not? If you don't do as I say, I'm going to tell my boyfriend to call Mr. Zimmer!"

Alexander looked up at her, then slowly stood up and knelt down before Charlotte. Out of nowhere, Charlotte slapped him across the face.

I was so angry that I clenched my fist. I didn't even know Alexander personally, but at that moment, I felt furious for him.

"Alexander, you never expected this to happen to you, right? You have no idea how much I suffered because of what you did that night. You think I'll forgive you just because you and your dad knelt down and paid the compensation? You're wrong!

"Let me make this clear. Every time I see you, I'll make you kneel before me! I won't forgive you!"

Alexander was kneeling on the ground, lowering his head in silence, but I could tell that he was furious.
