Chapter 5 Before she could finish , a familiar volce came from behind . What inheritance ? Charlottes figure froze for a moment as she instinctively hung up the phone , but she couldnt help but feel amused . Why do these people always like to suddenly speak from behind others ? She turned around and immediately saw Charlies rather unattractive face . After a brief pause , she explained , Its nothing , just a joke with a colleague who asked what I plan to do after resigning . I told them I was going back home to inherit the family fortune . Charlie frowned slightly . She wasnt someone who joked often . He instinctively felt something was off .

Charlie glanced at Charlotte , but before he could say anything , Charlotte had already gotten out of the car and walked to the back seat . Her movements were swift and fluid , and before Charlie could react , she was already seated in the back . His words were stuck in his throat , leaving him in a difficult position .

Charlotte , even if youre still the one he likes now , so what ? What I want will eventually end up in my hands . Winning his heart is just a matter of time .
