Regret Novel 157
Charlotte pulled her gaze away, pretending not to see him as she brushed past.
He pressed his lips into a thin line and, in a swift motion, caught her wrist. She stumbled from the sudden pull, barely regaining her balance before she would have fallen into his arms. “So, we’re not even saying hello at home anymore?” he asked, his voice edged with annoyance.
Charlotte froze for a few seconds, her brows knitting together. “Mr. Howard, you can’t possibly be this bored, can you?”
She remembered how, in the past, she’d practically leapt at every chance to talk to Evander–always eager for a word, a glance. Had he ever cared? Not once.
He really was a strange man. Back then, he barely acknowledged her, but now that she’d finally given up, he couldn’t seem to leave her alone.
“The results from upstairs are back,” Evander said, his gaze lingering on her cool expression, a subtle crease forming between his brows. His tone softened. “Charlotte, I know you have issues with Tricia, but let’s end it here. If you don’t want her around, I’ll ask the director to transfer her to internal medicine.”
That was the biggest compromise he could offer.
Charlotte felt a sudden ache in her chest, a bitterness she couldn’t swallow. “So, in the end, you really do go to great lengths for Tricia.”
Evander’s eyes narrowed.
“You said you wouldn’t interfere with the investigation, but look–she walked away completely untouched.”
“Charlotte.” He fixed her with an unwavering stare. “I didn’t interfere. What makes you so sure it was her?”
She met his gaze, her eyes rimmed red but smiling coldly. “Ever since she started plotting against me over and over. Evander, you’ve always believed her, never me. Can you swear she knew nothing about the night I was almost assaulted? That was an important event–are we really supposed to believe it was just a simple mix–up with the room number?”
“And when she fell down the stairs–security footage cleared me, but you still saw her as the victim.”
His expression darkened; he said nothing.
