Chapter 40
Regret Novel 40
She truly hadn’t expected Evander to be so ruthless.
For Tricia’s sake, he was willing to do anything.
“Charlotte, watch your tone!” Xavier wasn’t siding with his daughter; instead, he scolded her for speaking too harshly, then turned to Evander with a forced smile. “Evander, don’t mind her. She’s just a bit hot–tempered, that’s all.”
Charlotte said nothing, holding Evander’s gaze.
Evander leaned back in his chair, his eyes meeting hers. “Hiram assaulted someone. The Fontaines refuse to settle and are determined to see him behind bars. So what now? Does the Sterling family think that just because they’ve gotten close to the Howard family, they can ignore the law?”
Mr. and Mrs. Sterling flinched, their faces drained of color.
Charlotte clenched her fists. “He seriously injured someone, so yes, the sentence might be justified. But have you even looked into what actually happened?”
Evander frowned.
She pressed on, “I spoke to the lawyer that day and reviewed the case. Hiram didn’t throw the first punch. It was self–defense–he just went too far.”
“I’m not a lawyer.”
Charlotte felt her heart drop, teetering on the edge of breaking down. She braced her hands against the table. “Evander, what do you want from me?”
It was the first time she’d lost control–lost her temper–in front of him.
After six years of playing the perfect wife, she couldn’t keep up the act anymore.
