Diana was being very rational, her face cool and composed. “I suggest you keep a low profile. Have you forgotten how you made things difficult for Arthur, which ended up affecting Lottic?”
Evie fell silent, her shoulders drooping. Charlotte had taken on a debt of two hundred million to sort out that mess. Although it was resolved in the end, Lottie definitely suffered because of it. Just thinking about it made Evie feel guilty.
When Charlotte stepped out, she saw Evie looking frustrated. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
Evie looked up at her with sad eyes. “I’m really sorry about what happened before.”

He pulled out his phone and called Charlotte just as someone spoke from the entrance. “What’s the big deal about being late? Are you really going to break my legs? What if I lose one? Wouldn’t that mean the Harrison family would break off their engagement with the Hardwick family?”
