Charles'' POV:


    "Did I say something wrong?" Confused, Nichs frowned.


    Realizing that I had just lost myposure, I shook my head slowly.


    "No. Please tell me about William. What happened between him and Scarlett?"


    Who was William?


    And what was his rtionship with Scarlett?


    Why did he take her away from me?


    As doubts flooded my mind, I began to panic.


    "Don''t you remember? Have you still not regained your memory?" Nichs'' eyes widened in surprise.


    "That''s none of your business. Just answer my question," I warned him with a gloomy expression.


    Shaking his head, he pursed his lips.


    "If you tell me the truth, then I shall consider helping the Wood Group, but if you refuse, then you can leave," I threatened.


    After hesitating for just a moment, he spilled everything he knew.


    "I heard that Scarlett lived with William for a year, and after she came back, she gave birth to the twins."


    "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to make me believe that she cheated on me?" I hissed.


    How could she willfully live with another man?


    And how did I let it happen?


    "I didn''t mean it like that. I just told you what I knew. That''s all," Nichs exined calmly.


    Since he needed my help, it was obvious that he would not hide anything from me.


    So his words were most likely to be true.


    I felt my heart sink to the bottom of my guts, slowly release a burst of sharp pain throughout my body.


    "What else do you know?" I asked in a low voice.


    Nichs thought for a while before he said slowly, "When they were together, she also took James with her."


    "That''s impossible!" I shook my head in disbelief.


    How could I have let my wife take our son away and live with another man?


    I sensed that there was something fishy about it. "Charles, you can search for that year''s news on Google. You will probably find something there. But what I said is absolutely true," Nichs promised with a serious look.


    After calming down, I said in a firm voice, "I am certain that the twins are my children. Keep your mouth shut and don''t say such lies again." Frightened by my coldness, Nichs nodded in reply. "Don''t worry. I won''t talk nonsense again."


    After he left, I gulped down the whole ss of wine, and then another.


    The feeling of the alcohol going down my throat made me feel better.


    However, I could not numb the pain in my heart at all.


    At that moment, Richard walked in with a frown and reminded me, "Mr. Moore, the doctor has told you not to get too angry or emotional, or your headaches will only worsen."


    I sneered, "Why did you hide it from me? You knew that Caroline and James used to live with that man, don''t you?"


    Richard lowered his head in silence.


    "So I was the only one who was in the dark about this, right?"


    Thinking of Caroline being intimate with another man, I just found it ironic.


    "Mr. Moore, you should have faith in Mrs. Moore. She has never betrayed you. Besides, James was kidnapped by William at that time, and Mrs. Moore did not even know about it," Richard exined in a low voice.


    "If nothing happened between them, then why were you hiding it from me?" I asked in a sarcastic tone.


    "I did not dare to mention it because the doctor said that you mustn''t be provoked."


    Sneering coldly, I picked up another bottle of wine.


    Anger and unwillingness to ept the betrayal felt like a heavy rock weighing on my heart.


    In the end, I waspletely intoxicated.


    "Caroline, don''t leave me. I know that I did a lot of things that hurt you, but I have changed now." My aching heart made me whisper her name.


    "Mr. Moore, let me take you home."


    Richard took the ss away from me and drove me back to the Moore mansion.

    Raina''s POV:


    It waste in the night, and most of the people at the Moore mansion were asleep.


    I was so excited to hear that Charles was home.


    I was really worried that I might not be able to see him.


    I really did not expect good fortune to knock on my door so soon.


    It seemed like God was on my side, after all.


    Just when I was about to go upstairs, Alice came to me.


    "Raina, Charles is drunk. Can you take care of him for me?" she whispered.


    Noticing her meaningful smile, my heart leapt with joy.


    It was obvious that she was creating an opportunity for me.


    "Thank you, Mrs. Moore. I will take good care of him, so don''t worry!"


    "As long as you are nice to him, he will surely understand and ept you one day!"


    With a pat on my shoulder, she encouraged me.


    I gave her a shy nod, restraining the wave of excitement in my heart.


    I felt like my efforts were not in vain after all.


    Alice was starting to trust me, and my n was going smoothly.


    I walked into the master bedroom and locked the door.


    Charles was lying on the bed,pletely drunk.


    The longer I stared at his handsome face, the faster my heart raced.


    "Charles?" I called him in a low voice.


    His eyes were closed, and he did not respond.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Suppressing the excitement in my heart, I leaned over to kiss him.


    Whenever he was sober, he would never even let me get close to him.


    Now, I could finally have what I had always wanted.


    "Caroline..."


    Charles muttered in a low voice, just when my lips were about to touch his.


    My heart sank, and my expression changed at once.


    "What''s

    choking back my tears.


    However, I only got silence in response.


    Clenching my fists, I was furious and unwilling to ept it.


    Why should I keep living under Caroline''s shadow?


    Why was I never able topete with her?


    Gritting my teeth, I took off my clothes, andy down beside Charles.


    Posing seductively and intimately, I took some photos of us in my phone.


    The thought of Charles suddenly waking up made me feel both excited and nervous.


    I looked through the photos with a satisfied smile, and gleaming eyes.


    ''This should be enough to make Carolinepletely give up on him, right?''


    If only she wasn''t such a bitch, she would have stopped pestering Charles!


    With a contemptuous snort, I proceeded to undress him.


    My imagination ran wild when I thought of him waking up to us lying naked in the same bed.
