Jaeden was terrified of this man, but he had no choice but to walk away in frustration. This time, he had really suffered a big loss because of Charlotte!
However, surrendering to this brute was nothing but a pipe dream!
Giving in was just a temporary measure for him; he would never truly admit defeat.
He will get his revenge and win his dignity back. As Jaeden thought this, he had already reached the lobby outside. Quentin had been hurrying him along, and they finally arrived at a car.
When he saw the car, Jaeden’s heart trembled slightly!
This guy was driving a Maybach? His eyelids twitched uncontrollably, unable to contain his inner shock!
This brute who only knew how to use his fists, driving such a luxurious car? He felt a twinge of jealousy.
Quentin walked to the passenger side and knocked on the window.
Seeing Quentin return, Charlotte’s face showed a hint of joy as she slowly rolled down the window. “Quentin,” she said, “you’re back. Did you find that…”
But when she saw the man behind Quentin, her words faltered for a moment. “Why did you bring this guy back?” she asked.
Quentin glared at Jaeden, his eyes filled with threat and coldness.
Jaeden immediately understood and forced an ugly smile. “Miss Pittman, I’m sorry, very sorry! I was out of line just now!”
“I apologize to you here! It was my fault, I shouldn’t have gossiped and humiliated you!”
“I sincerely apologize to you and hope you can forgive me.”
Charlotte’s face grew colder. “Scum like you, we won’t have any further communication. To be honest with you, forgive you? Don’t even think about it! Who knows how many girls will fall into your hands in the future! It’s really annoying!”
Just thinking about how many career girls might be coerced or tempted by this Jaeden and end up going down the wrong path filled Charlotte with anger. If there was evidence, she really wanted to send this guy to jail.
But she also knew that what Jaeden said wasn’t entirely wrong. It was indeed an unspoken rule in the market and sales industry: trade sex for orders. It wasn’t illegal, just a transaction!
Thinking of this, she let out a sigh.
Quentin kicked Jaeden away with one foot. “Didn’t you hear what my wife said? Get lost!”
Jaeden crawled away.
Seeing Charlotte’s low mood, Quentin returned to the driver’s seat and asked, “Charlotte, are you unhappy?”
Charlotte shook her head. “No, it’s just that suddenly I feel like this society is so dirty!”
Quentin didn’t say anything. The world was never just black and white; there were many rules deeply ingrained in every industry and every corner. How could they change it with their own efforts?
Charlotte suddenly realized that she shouldn’t have brought up such a heavy topic. She smiled and asked, “By the way, how did you bring that guy here to apologize to me?”
Quentin smiled and said, “Of course I used reason and emotion to persuade him!”
Charlotte didn’t buy it and chuckled. “That’s it? I think that guy was probably scared by you rather than wanting to apologize.” Seeing Charlotte’s gaze, Quentin didn’t deny it, he just smirked and didn’t say anything more.
Charlotte said, “Actually… I don’t like it when you often fight and act tough, but Quentin, thank you. Only you give me a sense of security when I feel most lonely and helpless.”
“We don’t need to say these things between us,” Quentin said.
He stepped on the gas pedal. The car sped away.
On the other side, Jaeden sat in the car, watching their figures disappear into the distance. He angrily pounded the steering wheel, his face full of resentment!
