Chapter 697

The Grudge Between Us

That was the first time someone ever called Charlotte stupid, and she snapped angrily, “Hey, you can’t
call your own niece an idiot, you… you old git!”

“I don’t seem to recall you ever respecting me as your uncle.”

“You…”

Leanna couldn’t stand by anymore, and she pulled Charlotte away. “Okay, things are getting stuffy
here, so why don’t you come with me?” Charlotte was dragged away from the battlefield.

Once they were gone, Joseph said, “Never thought we’d meet under these circumstances. Fate is an
odd mistress indeed.”

Aidan said coolly, “This is what you wanted to see, isn’t it?”

Joseph smiled, staring ahead silently. Justin had arrived, and his assistant pushed him over to them.
Justin said, “Hello, Aidan. Hello, Mr. Woodley.” He then turned to Lachlan. “And who might this be?”

Joseph didn’t tell him it was Lachlan. “He’s my brother.”

Justin smiled. “The Woodleys sure are filled with talented people.” He turned to Aidan. “Is Leanna not
here?”

“She just left.”

Justin said, “Mr. Woodley told me that the ring we’ll be auctioning off belonged to Leanna’s mother. I’ll
take the ring off the list so you can give it to her.”

Aidan smiled. “It’s alright. I’ll win the bid anyway.”



Justin smiled. “Very well. If you insist.” He said, “There’s an hour left before the ball starts. It’s a rowdy
place here, so why don’t we talk in the waiting room?”

Joseph nodded. “Of course.”

The assistant pushed Justin ahead, and Joseph walked beside him. Aidan and Lachlan followed them.

Aidan asked, “Did you notice it?”

“Depends on what you’re asking,” said Lachlan. “Ever since he left Jamesdon, Joseph’s been staying
in another city and never contacted the family.”

“Why did he leave the family anyway?”

…

Once they left the hall, Charlotte asked, “So, what happened to Miss Zoe?”

Leanna fell silent. She stared into Charlotte’s beautiful eyes, and she had no idea what to say.

Charlotte’s smile faded, and a bad feeling started to grasp her heart. She asked, “D-Did something
happen to her?”

Someone walked by, and Leanna said, “I’ll tell you once we get back.”

The light in Charlotte’s eyes dimmed. Something must’ve happened.

Leanna heaved a sigh. She had no idea what to say. Just when she was about to say something, she
saw Theodore leaving the hall as well, and he was skulking toward the corridor on the other side,
looking around like he was up to no good.



Oh, right. Daphne’s working for Pearson Group. She might show up too. Theodore isn’t learning even
after all he’d gone through? Aidan’s right. Some men are better dead. Leanna told the downcast
Charlotte, “Charlotte, get Aidan here.”

Charlotte asked dumbly, “Why?”

Leanna looked at Theodore and whispered something to Charlotte, then she followed Theodore.
Charlotte quickly went back into the ballroom to find Aidan.

Pearson Group gave all their artistes a dressing room of their own, and that included Daphne. She
strolled around the ballroom when she came, but since the celebration hadn’t begun, and things were a
bit rowdy, she took a break in the dressing room.

Her assistant got a call from a Pearson Group employee. They said the flow of the celebration had
changed, and she needed to be there to get the news as fast as she could. Daphne noticed that a lot of
the artistes’ assistants were summoned as well, so she didn’t think much about it. And then she was
alone in the dressing room.

She sat on the couch, going through her new script, and then the light was turned off. Daphne looked
up and put the script down, then she rummaged around for her phone. She turned on her flashlight and
was about to check things out when she heard someone opening the door. She held her phone and
asked, “Fish? Is that you?”

The answer she got was the sound of the door getting locked. Daphne quickly turned her flashlight off
and tossed her heels somewhere to make a sound while she hid in the other corner. After getting
followed by haters, stalkers, and Theodore, Daphne had to be on guard. She heard sounds of footsteps
searching around, and when that person found her heels, he sneered. “You think you can run?”

Daphne hid behind the cloth hanger, trying to keep her breathing shallow.



Theodore said, “I’ve given you a chance. Get back together with me, and I’ll give you whatever you
want, but no. You just had to test my patience. You think that brat can help you every time? I’m waiting
for him right here. If he shows up, I’ll make sure he doesn’t see tomorrow’s sun.”

Daphne gritted her teeth. Theodore straightened out his collar. “I’m not forcing you to do anything.
Work with me here. All you have to do is sleep with me and make me happy, then I’ll let him live, or
else.”

The lights were turned on again, and Theodore saw Daphne, who was looking at him coldly.

“This is our feud. Why do you have to drag him into this?”

Theodore sneered and pointed at his face. “This is no longer just us. The fact he beat me up means I
get to kill him.”

Daphne clenched her fists. “You touch him and you’ll get it.”

“Oh, I’m going to touch him alright. He thinks he’s a big shot because his brother-in-law is Aidan, but
Aidan’s in trouble himself now, and I can destroy his life easily. You don’t know this, but he sold his
acceptance letter for a hundred and fifty grand. If I tell his school and the media about it, he’ll be
expelled.”

Daphne chuckled. “Sure, you do that. I’ll wait.”

Theodore looked at him, and he narrowed his eyes, and his face fell.

Daphne stepped ahead. “If that could work, you would’ve done it instead of threatening me with it.”
