RedNovelEvander stood by the window at the end of the fire escape, lighting a cigarette. Shadows swallowed his frame, making him little more than a silhouette. “I don't really buy what Tricia said," he murmured.
"But... back then, you weren't the only child kidnapped. There were several others. The girl's story matches up. Her parents also confirmed their daughter was abducted." He paused, the cigarette motionless between his fingers. Flicking off the ash, he said nothing.
After a long silence, the other voice asked, "Mr. Howard, do you want to meet the girl?" "There's no need. Give her a blank check. Tell her to ctowhen she's made up her mind." He had no memories from that time. Even if a girl really had saved his life, the only thing he could offer now was compensation.

Just then, Wesley called.
He was in Riverspire City.
When Charlotte went out to meet him, Wesley handed her a gift: a porcelain doll.
She took the box, a smile tugging at her lips. “Did this cfrom your mom?" He blinked in surprise. "How'd you guess?" The doll was his mother's choice. Even with her mind foggy these days, she'd picked it out with care.
1/3 14:15 Chapter 287 Charlotte couldn't say how she knew-she just had a feeling. She joked, "Maybe we're just on the swavelength?" Wesley paused with his coffee halfway to his lips, then chuckled. "Maybe So." "Wesley, now that you're here in Riverspire City, who's looking after your mom?" "My dad's with her. She'll be fine." Charlotte blinked. "Your father cto the Capital too?" Something occurred to her-she pressed her lips together. "Is it because of your engagement to the Howard family? Are you really going to marry Genevieve Howard? But you're just being pressured into this..." "That day, I was just humoring the Howards. I never made a real promise-who'd take that seriously?" Wesley took a slow sip of coffee. "Honestly, I just wanted to see them eat their own words. I can't stand how they act." Charlotte suddenly understood. "No wonder you bailed on the Howards later. Grandma Rosemary was furious." He laughed. "It's a shame. Rosemary's respected in the family, but her youngest son is a disappointment. He married a woman with no sense of propriety, and their daughter's as spoiled as they come. It's no wonder Rosemary puts all her hope in her eldest son and grandson." Charlotte knew exactly what he meant.
Whenever the Howards had major family gatherings, it was always the eldest son's family who played host. Uncle Jensen's branch-though technically Howards-never got the streatment.
Genevieve's entitled behavior was all thanks to her mother, Ilse Sylvan Howard.
Ilse and Miranda had never gotten along. But Ilse was always overestimating herself, convinced that her daughter-just by sharing the Howard name-was every bit as good as Evander...
2/3 14-15 Chapter 287 "Have you divorced Evander yet?" Wesley asked suddenly.
Charlotte hesitated. "He hasn't agreed to it." "Oh?" Wesley traced the rim of his cup, thinking. "He actually refused?"
She lowered her eyes, clearly not wanting to talk about it. "You still you so haven't said why you suddenly cto Riverspire City." "I'm here to find my sister." "Your sister?" "My real, biological sister." Charlotte looked startled. “But I thought you said your sister was-"
"My dad had the whole thing reinvestigated. They ey found new m evidence! There's a chance... she might still be alive."
"I see..." Charlotte's smile was gentle.
"Then I hope you find her so soon. The sooner the better totherwise, who knows if she's being bullied out there, or just being spoiled rotten."
