Chapter 338


    Blood from all over her body rushed up to her head in a n instant, and Summer felt hot on the palms of


    her hands and the soles of her feet. Her hands on her sides were clenched up slowly as she broke into


    a sarcastic smile. "How do you know other men aren’t interested in me? Maybe they are into a woman


    like m e."


    "Who would it be? Dean?" Mark forced his words through the teeth in a deep voice.


    "What do you want before you will return Charlotte to me?" She spelled out the words, not wanting to


    waste time with him on such a topic again.


    Was this her tacit admission?


    Mark looked gloomy, the deep gaze in his eyes turning icy in an instant, and his piercing eyebrows


    were knitted together. He grabbed her wrist over and looked her in the eyes. "When I get bored with


    your body, I will consider returning Charlotte to you."


    "You have just taught me a life lesson. Have you forgotten it so soon?"


    She talked back, using what he had just said, and then pushed his hand away with the other hand,


    using all her strength. "It seems that you have no ns to


    return Charlotte to me, nor negotiate with me sincerely. Well then, wait for the court''s subpoena."


    Her voice trailed off, and she spun around and walked out of the president''s office without looking at


    him again.


    She had been fooled once, and he thought she would still be fooled a second time?


    Who did he think she was-someone he could bully and insult at will?


    Summer did not know how to describe her feelings when she walked out of the Valentine Group


    building. She just felt at a loss, her steps floaty.


    How high her chances would be when the custodial case went to the court?


    But irrespective of the chances, she would not give up easily.


    Mark stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the streets below.


    The busy traffic and the pedestrians looked as tiny as ants. Catching a glimpse of her would be difficult.


    Waiting for the court’s subpoena?


    His thin lips curled up in a smirk, his expression gloomy. She really thought she was his match?


    In the apartment.


    Maria could not nothing about Charlotte, who was sitting on the settee. She refused to eat or drink, but

    just sat there.


    Charlotte looked at her with those tearful eyes and said she wanted to call her mom and grandma, and


    that she really missed her mom so much.


    Maria''s heart was broken, but when she thought of Mark, there was nothing she could do.


    "Little Miss Valentine, just eat a bit. You have eaten nothing for a day, so just eat a bit, okay?" She


    coaxed Charlotte softly.


    Mark saw Charlotte curled up on the settee and refusing to move when he stepped in.


    Maria let out a sigh of relief when Mark was back. "Mr. Valentine, she hasn’t eaten much for today."


    "Give it to me." He nodded and extended his hand.


    Maria quickly handed him the bowl. Mark took the seat next to Charlotte, scooping up a spoonful of


    food. His angr face had a hint of gentleness. "Open your mouth."


    Charlotte became even more resentful when she saw Mark. She turned her back to him.
