Chapter 473

“Were those photos and videos saved on purpose, just to leak them online now?”
Charlotte had planned to wait until after the entrance exams to deal with everything.
But someone twisted the story, cut out the worst parts, and threw it all over the internet.
No one even knew if Charlotte was taking it hard.
“Find out who posted the video,” she said quietly, gripping her phone, her expression cold and unreadable. “And bring that person to me.”
“Yes, Charlotte. I swear, I’ll bring them back,” Adonis promised, his anger barely contained.
Did Jesse really think running off to another country would keep him safe? Dream
on.
Once they caught him, Adonis was going to make sure Jesse regretted everything. “Charlotte, I’ll call the research institute and have them bury the news, maybe even shut the whole system down-”
It was like this whole scandal had been set up ahead of time. The second those videos and photos hit the web, they exploded. Even deleting them would take a while.
“Don’t bother,” Charlotte said, her hand sliding into her pocket, her eyes icy and sharp. “Let it spread.”
She was the victim. The truth was out. The ones who should be scared were the people who tried to ruin her.
She’d wanted to stay under the radar, just live quietly with Anthony until after graduation, and then get her revenge. But if someone was in such a rush to destroy themselves…
Charlotte’s lashes trembled, her eyes going cold. “Then let’s destroy them first.” Her voice was flat, without a trace of warmth.
Adonis shivered when he heard her.
“Oh, and Charlotte He hesitated before he hung up. “Does Anthony know what happened back then?”
Charlotte didn’t answer, just frowned.
He’d find out soon. He was on a
flight to another city, about six hours in the air. If everything was on schedule, he was still flying and had four hours left before landing.
Adonis already knew what her silence meant.
“Just handle what I told you. Fast.”
Charlotte hung up, took a breath to steady herself, then called Roger. The phone only rang twice before Roger answered, his voice frantic.
“Lottie, where are you? Imperial
Heights? His voice was rough,
almerate. “Good, you’re not at school, Stay home, akay Kenneth and I are coming over right now.”
“That bastard! How dare he mess with you? I swear, I’ll kill him!”
Kenneth’s voice shouted in the net
background. “I’m so mad, don’t try tổ stop me, I’ll really do it!”
While the two of them raged, Charlotte pressed her lips together, her tone calm and
even. “Roger, Kenneth, just listen to me for a second.”
Kenneth went quiet, but he was still breathing hard, fighting to stay calm.
Mental illness… Scandal… Murderer…
None of those things fit Lottie, not in a million years. Whatever had happened five years ago, it was all lies.
She’d gone through so much on her own, never said a word, and now Kenneth’s heart ached for her.
All he wanted now was to find the person who hurt Lottie, and make them pay.
