Chapter 1427 Perhaps It Was Her Retribution
Leila knew Charlotte didn't like to drink espresso, so she specially made hot chocolate for the latter.
After taking a sip of hot chocolate, Charlotte didn't beat around the bush with Leila. “Ms. Joule, there's a director
who really admires your traditional gown craftsmanship and wants you to be the costume designer for their film
crew. I know you're not short of money, but the director said you can name your price if you go.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Leila nodded with a smile. “All right.”
“Hmm?” Charlotte was momentarily puzzled.
I know Leila has her pride and is not short of money. Nowadays, Leila will only make one traditional gown for others
each year. However, in order to save her husband, she has broken the rules several times.
“But I'm not the one who makes the clothes, it's my husband,” said Leila. “I just assist him. If that director agrees,
we'll take the job.”
Norton Tailor Shop used to be a well-known brand in Jadeborough, and countless celebrities would line up to have
Joshua make their clothes before he got involved in the murder case. Now that his name had been cleared, he and
his wife were both helping the film crew with their costumes. The director wouldn't be displeased; if anything, he'd

“The director will surely agree.” Charlotte asked cautiously, “Do you have any requests?”
Leila shook her head with a faint smile. “I want to help my husband restore his reputation as soon as possible. Since
the film crew has given us this opportunity, it's a win-win situation. I have no other demands as well.”
“All right.”
After learning about Leila's response, Charlotte called Kieron's studio. As Charlotte expected, Kieron was extremely
excited to find out that Joshua and Leila would be coming to his film crew to be their costume designers.
Afterward, Charlotte gave Leila's contact information to Kieron, allowing them to discuss the collaboration details
themselves.
After chatting with Leila, Charlotte felt a bit dazed as she left the tailor shop. Before coming, she had been worried
that she wouldn't be able to reach an agreement with Leila.
Unexpectedly, Leila agreed so easily...
Charlotte glanced back at the tailor shop where Joshua and Leila were talking in front of the workbench. Joshua
tucked his wife's hair behind her ear and leaned in to give her a kiss.
Joshua's eyes were filled with a gentle smile. His love for his wife was intense and passionate, and he didn't hide it
at all.
Charlotte had always believed that there was no eternal love in this world. Even the deepest love between two
people would fade over time, eventually leading to them growing tired of each other.
Now, it seemed her thoughts had changed slightly.
Even though Joshua's ex-wife used their child to pressure him into remarrying her several times, he never
compromised for Leila's sake. After he was imprisoned, Leila didn't give up either, running around trying to get him
out. Meanwhile, Joshua didn't lose hope or give up on himself and strived to live his life in prison.
Even though the two have been apart for nearly ten years, unable to see each other during this time, their love for
each other remains deep and strong.
Charlotte took out her phone to check the time and saw a news notification from a few minutes ago.
Benedict's wife accidentally tripped and hit her head. She was taken to the military hospital last night and was still
unconscious.
Charlotte browsed through the comments and saw one from a medical student saying that the human brain was
the most vulnerable part of the body. Since Gwendolyn hadn't woken up all night, it was quite possible that she
might never wake up again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Charlotte felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration in her heart.
Charlotte's family was ruined by the Gaudette family, and she didn't want to let them off easily. She once tried to
hook up with Sean—who had a grudge against the Gaudette family—so that she could use him to deal with the
other members of the Gaudette family.
Later on, she didn't want to upset Jerry, so she gave up on the plan. Unexpectedly, Gwendolyn ended up facing
retribution herself.
A thought suddenly occurred in Charlotte's mind. Is it really not intentionally caused by someone?
Charlotte opened her contacts list, wanting to call Timothy and ask him what had happened. But then she thought
that since she was neither Timothy's sister nor his wife, how could she expect him to take risks for her every time?
Perhaps Gwendolyn really got her retribution.
The wind blew across Charlotte's face, making her shiver from the cold. She pulled up the scarf around her neck to
cover her cheeks and hurried toward the car by the roadside.
The scarf was wrapped around her by Jerry when she got out of the car. The scarf still carried his scent.
Charlotte suddenly felt a surge of longing in her heart.
She felt that merely dating Jerry was not enough; she wanted to marry him and stay by his side forever.
