The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Charlotte raised a brow. “So she wanted the Jasper family to adopt Vivian?”

Lena shook her head and leaned in slightly, lowering her voice. “Not just that. She asked Mrs. Jasper to promise that Sean would marry Vivian one day.”

Charlotte’s eyes widened in shock. “No way, Seriously?”

Mia’s voice shot “She actually had the audacity to say that?”

Lena nodded. “No one knows exactly what Mrs. Jasper told her, but in the end, she settled for the family taking Vivian in as repayment.”

Mia scoffed. “Obviously. Mrs. Jasper only has one son. There’s no way she’d let him marry a housekeeper’s daughter.”

Lena agreed. “Exactly, Sean’s the sole heir of the Jasper family. No matter what, there’s no way he’d end up with her.”

Charlotte took a slow sip of her cocktail, lost in thought.

The three of them were deep in conversation, too caught up in their gossip to notice a woman standing a short distance away. Her gaze was dark with hostility as she stared at them.

Charlotte had only had a few light cocktails. The alcohol content was low and nowhere near enough to get her drunk.

After chatting a while longer, she stood up. “I’m heading to the restroom.”

As she stepped out of the restroom, two men blocked her path.

One was a bulky guy with a shaved head, wearing a black tank top that showed off his tattooed arms. He let out a low whistle, grinning sleazily. “Hey there, gorgeous. Why don’t you come have some fun with us?”

Charlotte had been replying to a message on her phone. Without looking up, she tapped her screen, switched to the recording app, and hir record before slipping her phone into her pocket.

The other guy, lanky with dyed blond hair, leaned in with a cigarette dangling from his tips. “Damn, she’s a looker. Bet she’d be real fun to f—”

Charlotte’s voice was ice–cold. “Did you eat something nasty in the restroom? Your breath stinks.”

The blond let out a laugh, completely unfazed. “Name your price, sweetheart. How much for a night?”

The narrow hallway left her with no way around them.

Instead of backing away, she crossed her arms and stood her ground, completely unfazed,

“Five grand for a wake. Two grand extra if you want mourners wailing. Live funeral band? That’ll be twenty–eight hundred. Standard cremation runs four ninety–nine, but if you want an eco–friendly coffin, that’s an extra five hundred. Want the ashes processed further? That’ll run you twelve hundred.”

She tilted her head, expression cool. “So, who in your family just kicked the bucket? If it’s more than one, we offer bulk discounts.”

The blond’s face twisted in rage. “You little bitch! You think you’re funny?”

The tattooed guy sneered, unbuckling his belt. “quit acting all innocent. We both know you’re not. Drop the act. I’m taking you, right here and now.”

He jerked his chin toward his buddy. “Take her to the men’s restroom. Let’s have some fun.”

As the two men stepped forward, Charlotte’s gaze turned icy,

She struck.

Her knee shot up, landing a brutal kick square between the tattooed guy’s legs.

“MMMMARGH!F
