Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Shameless Mistress
Charlotte Thompson spoke in an indifferent tone, leaving no hints of whether she was pleased or annoyed.
However, her calm mentioning of Justin Battleson made Evelyn Curtis on the other end of the phone seething with anger.
"What dance ball? You home-wrecker, if you dare go to the dance, I’ll expose you to the media, find out all your dirty secrets; you vile woman. If you dare secretly meet him, join him at the ball, there will be hell to pay."
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling quite satisfied with Evelyn Curtis’s infuriated behavior.
This was the exact reaction she was seeking. She was sure a little bit more provocation would eventually yield the answers she wanted.
"What’s the matter? It’s my business if I want to meet Justin. Why are you so agitated?"
"Have you resolved your scandal? If so, by all means, go ahead and expose me. Justin, anyway, told me that he was looking forward to seeing me at the ball."
Charlotte chuckled; she had learned to maintain an impressive composure.
Even when someone hurled accusations at her, she could brush it off with a calm and cheerful demeanor.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You must have used some sly, seductive tricks to lure him; he wouldn’t unquestioningly say such things to you! I tell you, in his heart, I am the only one who truly belongs by his side. You think you can compete with me?"
Evelyn Curtis’s eyes flashed ruthlessly.
She couldn’t believe that Charlotte dared to approach Justin. Was Justin spending all his free time with Charlotte during her absence?
Evelyn didn’t dare to keep thinking along this line, comforting herself internally.
"I tell you, you are just a shameless homewrecker. Justin is only infatuated with you now because I haven’t been around recently. If you keep shamelessly seducing him, there will be consequences."
Evelyn squeezed her own arm, trying to force herself to cool down.
But right now, calming down seemed impossible.
Charlotte had grabbed onto her weakness and refused to let go, reminding her of a snake that caught its prey.
The only thing she could do now was to defend her turf verbally and deter Charlotte from further actions.
No matter what, she couldn’t let Charlotte get close to Justin.
"What’s up? Are you upset, Miss Curtis? Or are these lies you’ve fabricated just to keep me away from Justin? Justin told me himself that he’s been attracted to me since five years ago. His kindness towards you was merely because of a one-night stand."
Charlotte laughed, her tone now carrying a hint of mockery. She always knew what would press others’ buttons and was always quick-witted with her words.
"What... what nonsense are you talking about!"
Evelyn hadn’t expected Justin to say such a thing to Charlotte.
Whether it was true or not was irrelevant at this point; the fact that such words had been spoken was already enough to send chills down her spine.
"Nonsense?" Charlotte spoke lightly and calmly, her tone not revealing any discernible emotions.
She didn’t intend to induce such a reaction from Evelyn, but couldn’t help laughing at Evelyn’s frantic behavior.
She was curious to see what Evelyn would say next.
"Don’t you know in your heart whether I’m spouting nonsense or not? You’ve been close to him for so many years, what have you gained from him? Don’t tell me that the clever Miss Curtis can’t figure this out?"
Charlotte chuckled, a trace of sarcasm flashing across her face.
