Chapter 1095: Chapter 1095: I Won’t Mind That You Were Married and Have Children
"Sir, are you some kind of award-winning actor?" Charlotte Thompson asked with a smiling gaze at the man in front of her.
"Of course not, I’m nothing like those actors in the entertainment industry."
The man shook his head, not only displaying an arrogant demeanor on his face but also speaking in a rather unpleasant tone.
Charlotte naturally didn’t want to entangle with the man before her any longer, quickly thinking of a strategy to distance herself from him.
"So, sir, are you an outstanding researcher or perhaps a young entrepreneur?"
"Close enough," the man snapped his fingers.
A hint of confusion appeared in Charlotte’s expression.
It wasn’t that Charlotte judged people by their appearances, but everything about the man, from his aura to his actions, did not seem to indicate that he was particularly commendable.
Seeing that Charlotte remained silent, the man smoothed back his hair and said with a lot of airs, "My dad is Nolan Peak, the president of Hallington Software, you know that, right?"
Charlotte was obviously aware of Hallington Software. The software and electronics industry was booming, with many companies riding this momentum into the top enterprises, and Hallington Software, though a newcomer, was definitely among the industry leaders.
Charlotte remembered that her elder brother had once collaborated with Hallington Software, and she had seen interviews with Nolan Peak in some business magazines, a very successful individual.
But...
Charlotte took a brief look at the frivolous young man before her, utterly unable to associate him as Nolan Peak’s son.
"So you’re Mr. Peak."
Charlotte gave an exceedingly perfunctory curl of her lips, "I wonder, Mr. Peak, what business do you have with me?"
"I just knew you’d recognize me," Mr. Peak still maintained a confident demeanor.
Charlotte took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to just take her children and leave, but she was already stealthily searching for someone who could get her out of this situation.
"Actually, I’ve admired Miss Thompson’s reputation for a long time," Nolan Peak took two glasses of red wine from a servant, handing one to Charlotte.
However, Charlotte shook her head with a smile, declining and instead reached for a juice nearby, toasting Nolan Peak with it.
"Miss Thompson, I heard you’re Justin Battleson’s ex-wife," Nolan Peak’s smile didn’t falter.
Charlotte’s brows twitched slightly, and the smile did not quite reach her eyes, "Mr. Peak, what are you getting at?"
"Miss Thompson, we both know the truth. If Justin really loved you, why hasn’t he remarried you immediately instead of keeping up this boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
"Oh? Are you implying..." Charlotte sipped her juice and arched an eyebrow at Nolan Peak.
She definitely remembered this face now; it seemed Hallington Software’s recent surge was making some people overly arrogant.
"Miss Thompson, Justin Battleson doesn’t really love you, and I don’t want to hide the fact that I’ve seen him ambiguously close with another woman."
Nolan Peak not only spoke but also began to lean toward Charlotte.
"You marrying him again, that’s impossible. Why not consider me? Our Peak Family isn’t much different from the Battleson Family, and don’t worry; I won’t mind that you’ve been married and have children..."
Listening to Nolan Peak’s words, all Charlotte felt was disgust.
However, before Nolan Peak could finish, his sentence was interrupted by his own loud scream.
