“I don‘t want to go against you. As you know, ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend.’ Don‘t you think so, Miss Wilson?”

Charlotte suddenly felt that Ada‘s voice was like a black hole. Also, she knew that she had been pulled to the edge of the abyss by Ada. If she didn‘t stop, she would get herself into a lot of trouble

Charlotte took a deep breath and whispered, “I know you‘re doing this to get back at Anna and Wayne. You hate them because you think that you‘ve lost everything you could have gotten because of them. You want money, don‘t you? I can give you as much money as you want. But, I want you to end this nonsense immediately.”

Ada snorted right away and said, “I wish you could say that to Wayne, too.”

“What?! You…”

Ada said in a dominating tone, “Charlotte, do you still think you‘re still a kind woman after all this? You tried to get Wayne to pay attention to you before, and I‘ve helped you achieve your goal. Am I right?”

Charlotte froze and then started to think about how good Wayne had been to her in the past few days.

She thought to herself, Wayne was always so sweet to me before I got married. Unfortunately, I took all that for granted. Later, I went through a rough time in France. It was not until then that I realized how much Wayne had pampered me. Yet, even after I saved Matthew‘s life, Wayne would never be that good to me ever again.

Charlotte had mixed feelings when she thought about the past. She asked, “Ada, what the hell do you want from me?”

Hearing this, Ada gave a sneer as if she had expected Charlotte to ask this. She replied, “Hey, don‘t worry, I won‘t ask you to do anything illegal. All you have to do is carry out your original plan. So, figure out how to get Wayne to fall in love with you again.”

After hanging up the phone, Charlotte fell into the bed and was lost in thought. In disbelief, she stared at the wall, and felt that Ada‘s sinister voice was kept haunting her head.
