Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Freshness
Charlotte Thompson chuckled, finding Evelyn Curtis’s shamelessness quite interesting.
She had originally thought that Evelyn was treating Justin Battleson like her sugar daddy, enchanted by his wealth and good looks.
But now, the tone in her voice, it sounded like a person with a strong desire for control, and the rage that ensues when someone touched what belonged to her, a kind of incessant hysteria.
Hearing Charlotte’s silence, Evelyn gradually calmed down.
She knew that at this moment, if she lost her cool, she would fall right into Charlotte’s trap.
"Is that all Justin told you?"
After a while, Evelyn tentatively spoke again.
In fact, her heart was in a state of uncertainty, hoping to pry something out from Charlotte, but also fearing that she already knew something.
"What? Do you expect him to tell me about all that happened between you in the past five years? I’m sorry, but I really don’t have the energy to delve into that."
Charlotte couldn’t help but roll her eyes, understanding Evelyn’s unease. But she intentionally changed the subject, her words filled with sarcasm.
What she didn’t know was that, at this very moment, Evelyn let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.
It seemed that Charlotte still didn’t know about Project 808. She had always thought that Charlotte and Sophie Allen were the same person, but she had no proof.
But it appears now that she was overthinking it.
They were two completely different people, one shrewd and articulate, the other dull and weak.
"If you have no interest in knowing what happened between Justin and me during the five years, why do you keep telling me about your relationship with Justin? I’ve already told you, I’ve been with him for a long time. He only thought of you because we had an argument recently."
Evelyn couldn’t help but curl her lips slightly. Compared to before, her words carried much more conviction and confidence.
She had been by Justin’s side for so long, seen women of all sorts. When it came to dealing with these women, it wasn’t her first time using underhanded tactics.
Charlotte just appeared to be a bit more tricky, but it was fine. Not knowing about Project 808 made things easier.
"I’ve been with Justin for so long, I have always understood what type of person he is. He’s a man of fidelity. I don’t know what kind of tricks you used on him, but rest assured, none of them works."
Evelyn felt inexplicably at ease, the more she spoke, the more confident she got and the more she chattered away.
"You know how men are, they constantly chase the new shiny object for a while. Once they’ve had their fun, but after some time, they’ll realize it was just the novelty of it. Miss Thompson is indeed beautiful and had a great figure, but you’re too young, so I advise you to understand who you are and know your place."
There was a tone of mockery in Evelyn’s voice, it was evident she looked down on Charlotte.
But Charlotte was not angry. Instead, she had a smile on her lips. She took great delight in Evelyn’s frustrated behavior; it was a pity she could not see her face now.
"It’s not Miss Curtis’s place to teach me what to do. The Thompson Family is massive and their enterprises extend far; we have no need to play mistress to a man."
Charlotte stood up, poured herself a glass of red wine, its deep red colour looking exhilarating under the pale night light.
Holding the wine glass, she walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. The night was already deep, leaving only stars in the lonely sky above.
