Griffith caught her hand for the second time. Feeling rather fed up, he closed his eyes, turned his face, and looked at Charlotte.He lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I warn you the day I left?""Hmm?""If you dare to seduce me again, I won't be polite."Charlotte looked at him innocently. "I was worried about you and just wanted to see your injury. Why are you so agitated?" She tried to pull her hand away but couldn't. She shot him a glance. "You're hurting me."Griffith took a deep breath and loosened his grip.Charlotte grinned, seizing the opportunity to continue teasing him."Shall I inspect that injury for you? How did it happen, by the way? Does it hurt?"Griffith found himself driven to the brink by her playful banter. He had spent countless days worrying about her while he was away, and now, upon his return, William's presence had stirred up trouble. It was late at night, Harry was nestled beside him, and he was already feeling exasperated. Charlotte's antics were

Charlotte and Harry locked eyes for a moment, and then the young boy broke into a wide grin. Startled by his sudden smile, Charlotte returned it and swiftly turned away, catching Griffith off guard. He hesitated to restrain her, fearing he might accidentally hurt her.The two of them exchanged glances, and Charlotte widened her eyes as she stared at him. When Griffith finally snapped out of his daze, he raised his head to find Harry smiling at him.Feeling somewhat lost for words, he mumbled, "Good night...""Good night." Harry rubbed his eyes and settled back to sleep.Griffith felt a bit awkward with the little guy. He lowered his gaze and noticed Charlotte staring at him in astonishment. Maintaining a facade of composure, he slowly lay back down as if nothing had occurred.Charlotte continued to gaze at him in silence. After a moment, she lifted her foot and gave him a strong kick. Unsatisfied, she kicked him again. This time, Griffith turned his head and calmly threatened her,

"If I'm not mistaken, you have no information about Jude's whereabouts, do you?" Charlotte asserted.A hint of despair flickered in Katie's eyes as she inhaled deeply and replied, "He had an accident at sea. How could I possibly have any news about him?"Charlotte remained silent."But everyone, including Griffith, believes that I do. He even tried to extract information from me for so long," Katie murmured, her voice filled with resentment and frustration.She had been vigilant against Griffith, but she never fathomed that he had no feelings for her whatsoever. It wasn't until she woke up, and Ash brought people to interrogate her that she realized Nicole was still alive, and everything had been a setup.Griffith had harbored suspicions early on, wanting to exploit her to locate Nicole.Ironically, Griffith's efforts only served to confirm one thing. Even after she had sowed misunderstandings, causing Jude to suspect Nicole of infidelity, and even after experiencing despair and

When Arthur entered the office, Griffith was deep in thought, wearing an expression that made Arthur wonder if there were issues with the recent major projects."Mr. Wilson."Griffith snapped out of his thoughts and responded casually."The task you assigned is almost completed. The construction team will enter the estate this afternoon and commence the renovation according to the plans you provided.""Okay."Griffith felt relieved upon hearing this."Madam will surely love it when she sees the renovated estate," Arthur said.Griffith sneered and said, "I didn't say it's for her.""If it's not for her, then who else?" Arthur laughed. He adjusted his glasses and continued, "Her birthday is in a few days. She will be pleasantly surprised to receive your gift."Griffith felt pleased hearing this.Before Arthur left, Griffith reminded him, "Make sure the dressing room is filled with valuable jewelry.""Yes, Mr. Wilson. I have already brought back all the jewelry as per your inst

"Come, come, a toast to our beloved Mr. Griffith." Charlotte raised her glass.Griffith didn't reciprocate the toast, so she lightly clinked her glass against his and then drank on her own."Ah," she let out a long and contented sigh.Griffith glanced at her and remarked, "Drinking too much again; no one is going to escort you home."Charlotte leaned against his shoulder and said, "With you around, why worry?"Griffith's heart skipped a beat, finding her words quite pleasing. He allowed her to lean on him and raised his glass, saying, "I won't be taking you home."Charlotte smiled and rested her chin on his shoulder."Take me home, please," she said playfully.Griffith, suspecting she was drunk, didn't respond.In reality, Charlotte was far from drunk. She was quite sober but feeling a bit conflicted about leaving without telling him, and she couldn't resist being a bit flirtatious given his presence and the pleasant atmosphere.Just then, there was a commotion in the distanc
