Chapter 326
Most of what Vivian had done in the past had been aimed at Charlotte.
So today, Sean had deliberately called Charlotte over.
At the Jasper estate, the family had gathered in the main hall.
Mrs. Jasper Sr. had rushed over from the rehabilitation center the moment she heard Sean had an important announcement
Even James had dropped everything and come straight home
Everyone was seated on the sofas, the atmosphere heavy with tension,
Seeing Charlotte among them, Mrs. Jasper Sr. frowned with visible displeasure. Pretending not to understand, she asked, “Sean, what’s going on?
