RedNovelRegret 238 Charlotte gripped the handrail and looked up at Judd.
"What are you staring at?" "You know..." She hesitated, then spoke her mind, "You're not as terrible as people say." Judd's expression darkened slightly, lost in thought.
Assuming he didn't like others commenting on his personality, she quickly backtracked. “Sorry. I'm talking too much." "It's fine." They arrived at the hospital. Gentry spotted them walking in together and raised his eyebrows with a knowing grin. "Well, well, you two... Is there something going on?" Charlotte nearly choked on her words. "Nothing's going on. We just happened to cthe sway." "Oh, just happened to, huh?" Judd simply grunted, "Yeah, just happened." Gentry lost interest in that thread, his excitement shifting as he leaned in conspiratorially. "I just heard something wild. You know the Howard family from the capital, right?" Charlotte froze for a split second, staring at him.
He didn't notice, continuing, "One of them cto Riverspire City. Apparently, something happened yesterday- there was an accident at the beltway intersection. Now he's missing.” "Missing... what do you mean?" Charlotte asked stiffly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJudd shot her a look.
"Nobody knows where he is, or how badly he was hurt. But it's all over social media-the Bentley was totaled." Gentry pulled up his phone, showing her trending photos.
The front of the Bentley was crumpled beyond recognition, being hauled away by a crane.
The news only mentioned that the car's occupants were the driver and the Howard 1/3 12:47 Chapter 238 family's heir.
Charlotte stood there, the color draining from her face.
She recalled what she'd said yesterday. For a fleeting moment, she wondered if he really could be dead...
Gentry kept going, "I also heard Mr. Howard chere to look for his wife. Funny thing-I never even knew he was married! No one ever mentioned it. And get this, his mom and my mom are actually cousins, though we've never met in person." Finishing his gossip, Gentry turned to Judd. "Did you know about this?" "No." He glanced at Charlotte. "And you... hey, are you feeling alright?" "...I'm fine. I just don't care about that kind of stuff." Charlotte brushed past them, heading straight for the office.
Judd watched her go, thoughtful.
For several days, Evander truly didn't appear. It was as if he'd vanished from the face of the earth.
It was a relief not to have him chasing after her, and yet- If he'd cto Riverspire City looking for her and then disappeared, the Howard family probably wouldn't let her off the hook.
Stepping out onto the balcony, she called Grandma Rosemary, first asking after her health, then casually steering the conversation toward Evander's disappearance, trying to gauge her reaction.
Rosemary paused. "He went to Riverspire City? I hadn't heard. Did something happen?" The old woman sounded genuinely surprised.
"It's nothing, Grandma," Charlotte said, biting her lip.
After they hung up, Rosemary handed the phone to Linette. "Call Evander for me."
Linette dialed the number, and when he answered, Rosemary asked, "You're in Riverspire City?” The m content is on novelenglish.net! He responded quietly, “So you've found out?" 2/3 12:47 Chapter 238 "Charlotte just called, asking after you. As long as you're safe, that's all that matters." There was a long pause on the other end, his voice strained. "She... asked about me?"
Rosemary fiddled with her rosary, giving a soft hum. "Other people may not know you, but I do. You're not a little box anymore! Where could you possibly run off to?" "You're too sharp for me, Grandma. I can never fool you." Evander stood in a peaceful courtyard, dressed casually, the usual tension in his face softened.
She sighed. "If only you'd realized this sooner. Evander, you brought M yourself and Charlotte to this point.
No one else is to blame." Something unreadable flickered in Evander's eyes. "Yeah. I know." 12.47
