The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354

“Lottie, it’s over,” Sean’s voice was low and a little hoarse. “Joseph Ford is dead. It’s all over now.”

Charlotte’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

“You… are you okay?”

There was a brief pause on the other end.

Then Sean replied, “I’m fine.”

“Thank God,” Charlotte murmured.

Charlotte finally let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding. Her heart, which had been hanging high in her chest, finally settled.

She had been terrified that Sean might get hurt while dealing with Joseph in Atlantis.

“I’m gonna go eat. Talk later,” she said quickly.

“Lottie… wait for me,” Sean said softly.

But Charlotte didn’t respond. She hung up the phone.

Her mind was a tangled mess.

Joseph might be out of the picture now–but what about Mrs. Jasper Sr.?

Her father had also made it very clear how he felt about the Jasper family.

And she couldn’t pretend those old wounds never happened. It wasn’t that easy to start over.

“Lottie, dinner’s ready,” Xena called out, snapping her back to reality.

“Coming.” Charlotte shook off her thoughts and walked toward the dining room.

Ever since finding out Wendy was pregnant, Monica had been beaming with joy every single day.

Zac, however, hadn’t told his mother anything about the Gibson Corporation’s current financial mess. He was still trying to salvage what he could and didn’t want to break the news until it was absolutely unavoidable.

So Monica was still completely in the dark while the fire was practically at the door, she was still living her high–society life in blissful ignorance.

Dripping in jewelry, glowing with happiness.

That afternoon, she went out shopping with the housekeeper to pick up nutritional supplements for expectant mothers. She also sent the housekeeper to an exclusive members–only grocery store to get organic vegetables and a free–range hen to make nourishing chicken soup for Wendy.

When they arrived at Wendy’s apartment, Monica took her hand and asked about everything–full of smiles and warmth.

Wendy, however, seemed distant and unenthusiastic, responding half–heartedly.

“Yes, ma’am,” the housekeeper replied cheerfully.

That title-“Zac’s fiancée“-was something Wendy used to dream about.

But now, hearing it just made her feel uneasy.

She didn’t know much about business, but she had heard rumors–serious ones–that the Gibson Corporation was drowning in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy.

If she married into the family now, she would be tied to that sinking ship. Her entire future would go up in flames.
