Chapter 97: Possessive Charlotte

The original plan was for the couple to spend the weekend in Swaxon, but after hearing about Chadwick’s past, Charlotte wanted to surprise her husband. She purposely left the office early and took a private flight to Braeton.

Liam was having a dinner meeting with some influential people in Braeton. He had joined a millionaire’s club with Graham to maintain their connections, and that day was one of their social gatherings.

The event was held at the First Diamond Hotel. It was a closed-door event, only for the members and their wives or partners.

When Charlotte arrived with Chadwick, she went to the female bathroom to freshen up. It was there where she met the BNC Media news anchor, Harriet Kent.

“Hi,” Harriet greeted.

“Hi, you are that news anchor,” Charlotte remarked.

Like Charlotte, Harriet also had golden hair. They almost had the same build and height, but Harriet was taller. Charlotte’s face had a more prominent jawline, while Harriet’s was round.

“We could practically be twins,” Harriet said with a smile.

Charlotte giggled. She replied, “At a single glance, yeah, we could, but we have clear differences too.”

“I know, I am more beautiful,” Harriet said.

Charlotte, “???”

“Miss Harriet. It’s confirmed, Mister Liam Wright is in the gathering with the boss,” another woman said, squeaking in glee for Harriet.

“Oh, my god! I knew I saw him earlier!” Harriet said while resting her hand on her chest. “I’m nervous. I want to speak to Liam.”

Charlotte’s eyes rounded, and she frowned at Harriet. The news anchor proudly claimed, “Oh, I used to date Liam Wright. You know him, right? Everybody in Braeton knows him. I will try reconnecting with him and see where it might take us.”

‘Dated Liam Wright?’ The words echoed in her head, and she realized this woman was the only one Liam had dinners with.

Well, she now understood why Liam tried to date this woman. She was almost like her! Almost, but no one can beat the original Charlotte Strauss.

In response to Harriet, Charlotte said, “But, he is married

“I haven’t seen him with any woman. I think it’s fake news,” Harriet said. “I am the only woman who got close to Liam.”

Harriet turned to her colleague and reasoned, “I think our timing was not right back then.”

“Or, he could be in love with someone else, and he couldn’t get over her,” Charlotte suggested.

Harriet turned to Charlotte and chuckled. She said, “Excuse me, but Liam Wright hadn’t been in any relationship –

“We better go, Miss Harriet, the millionaire’s club dinner is about to end – you can’t miss Mister Wright!” The other woman said, and they both left excitedly for the hotel’s main conference room.

Charlotte’s mood soured after that. She recognized how she and Liam should have their wedding soon. Women were always fawning over him, and while she was confident of his love, it did not mean she would let these women flirt with her man!

“The only woman who got close to him? We were close since we were five years old!” Charlotte mumbled, her lips twitching then after. She hurriedly retouched her makeup and went to the conference room for the millionaire’s club gathering.

“Calm down, Charlotte. This is your husband. There is absolutely nothing to be jealous of,” Charlotte muttered as Chadwick met her halfway through the walk.

Chadwick had probably noticed where her gaze was directed that he chuckled, saying, “I see that you met the lady who Liam took out for dinners before.”

“How many dinners?” Charlotte asked.

“Three, I think,” Chadwick replied. “Don’t worry. The woman never made it into the boss’ car.

“Hmmm. Good,” Charlotte responded. She stood behind the rows of news reporters waiting for the wealthiest in Braeton to exit the conference room. Many people crowded near her, waiting for whoever was inside, but Charlotte remained in the same spot.

“Do you want me to go in there and get us inside?” Chadwick asked.

Charlotte shook her head. She answered, “No. That’s fine. I will meet him when he comes out.”

It took a few minutes, but finally, the double doors to the main conference room opened. The first set of prominent figures was familiar to Charlotte, the town’s mayor’s son and the owner of the biggest mall in the city. There were also guests whom Charlotte did not know.

Next, she saw Graham walk out. He was talking to another gentleman. Their appearance made the female reporters and onlookers gasp. Some ladies were practically drinking them with their eyes.

“Hi Graham,” Harried greeted, and Charlotte noticed Graham nod at her.

Then, Graham looked past Harriet and met Charlotte’s eyes. Graham was Liam’s cousin, the CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation. His eyes shone at the sight of her, and he called, Charlotte! What a surprise!”

Heads snapped in her direction, and women gave her a dirty look. Charlotte saw the frown on Harriet’s face, but she ignored the stares and walked through the crowd of reporters with confidence.

“Graham! It’s nice to see you again!” She greeted.

Graham hugged her in front of the crowd. He said, “You must have been very busy. I heard you will be leading your father’s company!” Pulling away, he said, “I am happy for you, Charlotte.” About two meters from her, Harriet pushed through the crowd. She said, “Oh, you are also a businesswoman. Are you trying to get into the millionaire’s club?”

“Oh, no. Technically, I don’t live in Braeton. I am here to see my husband,” Charlotte intentionally stated.

Charlotte could tell Graham knew who Harriet was. He was giving her that awkward grin, and his eyes were evasive. He softly assured her, “Hey, you got the man and the marriage contract.

“I wasn’t feeling insecure,” Charlotte answered. “I’m just… possessive.”

Finally, her husband walked out. He was looking at his phone, not seeing Charlotte. Her husband was probably checking her messages.

“Liam! How are you? It’s been so long!” Harriet called. Her eyes formed stars at the sight of Liam, and Charlotte saw through her flirtatious moves. Her hips swayed, and Harriet kept pushing her hair behind her ears.

“I’m sorry, Harriet. I don’t have the time. If you need anything, please get in touch with my office,” Liam replied.

Liam was about to say more when Charlotte called his attention. She said, “Liam!”
