The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Sean’s expression remained cold and unreadable. “They broke up. He’s her ex.”

Jan raised an eyebrow. “And that doesn’t bother you?”

Sean played his card with a casual flick of his wrist, his tone Indifferent. “Who doesn’t have a past? Haven’t you ever dated someone before?”

Ian scratched his nose. “Yeah, but you haven’t. She’s your first love, but you’re not hers. Are you really okay with that?”

Sean’s dark eyes softened with a rare tendemess. “As long as 1

I get to be with her, that’s all that matters”

Jordan whistled “Damn. Hopeless romantic, huh?”

The game wrapped up soon after. Sean checked his watch before rising to his feet. “Time’s up. Let’s go.”

Tonight, he had planned a welcome–back dinner for Charlotte.

Under the glow of dazzling city lights, a sleek blue Bentley pulled up to the grand entrance of Jersey City’s most luxurious five–star hotel.

The evening breeze carried a crisp chill as Charlotte stepped out of the car.

“Charlotte! Over here!”

Lena stood at the hotel entrance, waving with a bright smile before quickly making her way over.

Walking beside her was Mia, Charlotte’s other close friend.

Charlotte’s heels clicked against the pavement as she approached, returning their smiles. “Lena, Mia–you’re both here.”

Mia crossed her arms, pretending to pour. “So you finally decided to show up? Thought you’d forgotten about us.”

Charlotte’s lips curved into a grin. “Of course not! I missed you guys What, not happy to see me?”

“Hmph, you’re just sweet–talking us.

Lena playfully linked arms with Charlotte, laughing “Please, Mia’s been talking about you nonstop. If anything, she’s the happiest one here.”

The two of them had always been her closest friends–Lena, calm and elegant, and Mis, lively and mischievous.

Lena smiled. “You’re getting engaged to Sean soon. That’s amazing.”

Mia, however, glanced at Charlotte with concern “Charlotte are you okay with this? I mean, is it really what you want?!!

Charlotte flicked her forehead playfully. “What are you thinking? No one can force meinto anything.”

Her two best friends knew she had been in a relationship while living in Harbor City, though she had never introduced them to her ex

Over the past three years, Charlotte had occasionally shared bits and pieces of her relationship with them. But this time, she hadn’t mentioned the breakup at all.

Lena glanced at her. “Sp… you finally broke up with Zac?”

“Yeah.” Charlotte’s voice was calm. “I blocked him everywhere. He should get the message.”

Mia tilted her head. “What made you change your mind all of a sudden?”

A flicker of irony flashed in Charlotte’s eyes. “He was using me as a stand–in.”

Mia’s eyes widened in outrage. “That asshole! Does he even know who he’s messing with? You’re way out of his league!”

Lena scoffed. “Good. You should’ve dumped him ages ago. He never deserved you”
