Chapter 240


    Madge walked to the desk and sat down, with a puzzled look on her face.


    Linda raised her head and did not say anything else. She threw the file bag beside her to Madge


    and said, "Take a look at this first."


    Madge showed a look of suspicion, but she opened the file bag as Linda said. There was a stack of


    files in it. Apparently, they were from a private detective. Madge began to read it.


    In just a few minutes, Madge''s face had changed a few times.


    After thest page, Madge heavily mmed the file bag on top of the table, and her voice was a


    little shaky. "Mom, does Dad know about this?"


    "Of course he doesn''t!" Linda immediately got up and said.


    The Gray family''s overseas business was doing well, her husband hadunched many projects in


    Europe and lived there all year round in recent years. Her husband would onlye back for New


    Year''s Eve or important events. What''s more, Linda would never tell her husband.


    Madge looked at the files on the desk again, and suddenly picked them up. She tore them apart


    quickly and threw them into the trash can. "Mom, I was going to marry Charlie, and I won''t give up


    easily! Now, it''s impossible for me to let go of him!" Linda walked over to her daughter, patted her


    daughter on the shoulder, and nodded. A fierce light shed across her eyes.


    Back in the room, Madge paced back and forth in front of the French window.


    Something shed in her eyes. She took out her phone and dialed a number.


    When the line went through, she said with a soft voice.


    "Ewan, it''s me."


    Madge sighed. After a few seconds of pause, she asked in a low voice, "Can youe out with me


    for a moment?"


    It waste at night, in a noisy bar.


    When Ewan drove over, there were people calling him all the way in. He didn''t have time to talk to


    those guys tonight, so he went to find Madge one by one at the table. Finally, he found her, who


    was alone in the corner, holding a ss of wine.


    Seeing her pouring wine into the ss, with her long, curly hair down, he hurried forward and said,


    "Madge, why do you drink alone in such a ce?"


    The sound of music was deafening. Madge didn''t seem to hear it and directly poured the wine into


    her mouth.


    "Madge, you can''t drink like this!" Ewan grabbed her ss.


    In Ewan''s eyes, Madge was always so elegant. She should be in a high-end banquet instead of a


    noisy bar. It was totally an insult for her.


    Madge seemed to have drunk a lot and raised her head. "Ewan, are you here?"


    "What''s wrong? Something bad happened?" Ewan frowned and asked. There was an


    unconceble concern in his expression.

    "Well, I just want to drink!"


    "Was it because of Charlie?"


    Seeing Madge''s silence, Ewan confirmed his suspicions and sighed. "I knew that no one would let


    you lose your temper like this but him! Madge, you can''t keep drinking anymore. Didn''t the doctor


    tell you your stomach was fragile!"


    "Ewan, I feel so bad, so sad!" Madgey on the table and said.


    Ewan''s hand that hung down made a fist, and then he said in a depressed voice, "Madge, he''s not


    the only son of the Hogg''s Group. Why don''t you..."


    He was interrupted by Madge before he could finish his words. "Ewan, you know how much I like


    Charlie!


    I once told you, when I was 18 years old, at the anniversary celebration party of the Hogg''s Group, I


    danced with Charlie. It was that dance that made me fall in love with him at first sight. Later, when I


    learned that the Gray family and the Hogg''s family engaged us, do you know how happy I was? I


    felt like I am the happiest person in the world!"


    "For so many years, I have been working hard to be a better person, and I can also be a better


    match for him. I want everyone to know that we are born to be a couple! I have been waiting for so


    many years, and I am waiting for the day to marry him! But now, I am back, and he said sorry to me


    that he can''t marry me, and he has refused the engagement ceremony held by Uncle Hogg! If he


    can''t marry me, I would rather be lonely for the rest of my life..."


    At the end of her words, Madge was choked with sobs.


    Ewan''s eyes became more and moreplicated, and there was only one sentence left. "Madge,


    don''t cry. Your eyes are swollen from crying."


    He took out his handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face gently.


    "Ewan, you''re the best! You''re still the best for me!" Madge held his hand and murmured with tears


    in her eyes.


    Ewan felt that his heart was clenched at this moment, but he felt more sorry for her.


    Madge''s tears continued to flow down and she was immersed in her own pain. After a long time,


    she suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Ewan, can you do me a favor..."


    Outside the window, the sun was setting inch by inch.


    Charlie stood by the window and made a phone call. The magnificent red shadow covered his


    broad shoulders, which made people narrow their eyes when looking at him. It was so eye-catching.


    On the middle finger of the mobile phone, there was a pure silver ring reflecting light.


    Wendy bit her lips gently. It was the one she bought on the stall.


    In fact, she did it on the spur of the moment that day. She thought it was quite good-looking, so she


    bought them and thought it was just for fun. She didn''t expect that he didn''t take it off after wearing


    it. It didn''t match his hand-made suit and the watch on his wrist, but he didn''t mind it at all.


    When Charlie finished the call and put down the phone, she also shyly looked away.


    She put the freshly folded trousers neatly in the open suitcase in front of her, and finally put the


    washing bag into it. She carefully checked them and was afraid that she would miss something.


    Then she looked down at her watch. The flight was 8 o''clock in the evening, and there was still


    plenty of time.


    Charlie called her in the afternoon and said that he had to leave for America, but it was not as


    simple as a business trip.


    Wendy couldn''t help but worry and asked, "Charlie, is the situation with the Aunt serious?"


    "Yes." Charlie was taking out a cigarette and suddenly stopped lighting it. He frowned and said, "It''s


    very tricky. There are spies in thepany, who leaked a lot of business secrets topetitive


    companies. If it''s not handled well this time, herpany is likely to go bankrupt."


    "Is it that serious?" Wendy said in a low voice.


    "Yes." Charlie nodded.


    Wendy pursed her lips. In fact, she also heard some news. Thepany she was now in had been


    bought by Donna before, so if anything went wrong, she would hear the news about it. People in the


    company would discuss in the tea room.


    No wonder he would put all his things aside and go to New York to help in such a hurry.


    Charlie came over and stood in front of her, bending one of his legs. "So, I have to help he get


    through this crisis."


    "You can do this...” Wendy covered her hand over his.


    "You trust me?" Charlie raised his eyebrows.


    "Of course!" She nodded without thinking.


    Seeing this, Charlie smiled and picked her up and put her on the bed.
