The receptionist didn't think to hide anything from Charlotte and told her everything that had happened today.
Charlotte looked at the receptionist with a complex expression. Just then, the elevator arrived, and she got in
with her thermos.
James's office was on the top floor, so it only took a few seconds. When she stepped out of the elevator, his
assistant was just walking out of James's office looking worried. He was startled when he saw her.
"Madam, you're here."
"How is he?"
"Mr. Chancer has a headache. You should go in and see him," the assistant said, stepping aside.
As soon as Charlotte entered, she saw James resting his chin on his hand, wearily rubbing his temples with the
other. She walked over slowly, placed the thermos on the desk, and gently put her hands on James's temples to

Without opening his eyes, James caught her perfscent. "Charlotte, what brings you here today?"
Charlotte said softly, "I realized it's been a long tsince | cto have lunch with you. Mom didn't go play
cards today, so she's watching the baby, and | happened to have tto cover."
There was another reason she didn't mention-last night's incident had kept her awake, thinking about those torn
photos. What if James held a grudge?
Before, she might not have cared, but now she couldn't afford to. They had a child together-she couldn't let her
son grow up without a father. She had to ensure her son grew up in a harmonious family environment.
Thinking about what the receptionist had told her, she chose her words carefully. "Why is Wilson Corporation
targeting the Chancer family? There was no conflict between the two families before, was there?"
"Don't worry yourself about this. It's just revenge for refusing Wilson's production line request before. That old
fox from the Wilson family has been holding a grudge, waiting for payback," James said coldly He knew Wilson's
retaliation wouldn't stop at just this. s
Charlotte's expression was complex as she asked tentatively, "I know about that incident, but I'm really curious-
why did you refuse Wilson's proposal to buy the production lines?"
The profit Mr. Wilson had offered for those two production lines was substantial, even exceeding the actual value
of the equipment. No businessman would refuse such a deal.
James was a businessman who valued profit above all-she couldn't understand why he would refuse.
James pressed his lips together
n
tightly and didn't answer. He was also thinking about what he had been considering at the time. Perhaps it was
everything Vivian had done to Sarah? Or maybe it was because Melvin was doing everything he could to fight
the Wilson family, and just when there was finally sprogress, he didn't want to be the one to stand in the
way. s
"You don't understand business matters. Even if | had agreed then, how could you know that old fox from the
Wilson family would play by the rules?" he said indifferently.
Charlotte opened the thermos, revealing the pure white bone broth inside, its aroma filling the air. She poured a
bowl and pushed it toward James, saying gently, "It wasn't for the Sanders family, was it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing specific, just saying what comes to mind. James, can we please not get involved in Wilson Corporation's
affairs? Whether you refused Mr. Wilson for Sarah's sake or for the Sanders family, promiseyou won't meddle
in Sanders family matters anymore, oka Charlotte's voice was very
soft-even she was afraid of getting
a negative answer from James.
s
James looked at her quietly until he closed his eyes wearily. "I don't know what you're talking about."
