RedNovelRegret 93 Chapter 93 Charlotte's hand froze on the doorknob. She stood rigid outside the room, unable to believe what she'd just heard Xavier say.
Taken in...
Who was taken in? Did he mean her? "So now you're blaming me?" Her mother, Rachel, who had been holding back her emotions for so long, finally snapped. "Why don't you talk about how your own mother sold your newborn daughter? The Sterlings always looked down on girls, so you sold my child off like she was nothing!"

I never meant for it to be like this..." She hadn't wanted to neglect her daughter. But within the Sterling family, she'd always been powerless-unable to protect anyone, even herself.
Howard Enterprises.
Natalie led Director Sinclair into the office.

He'd only learned about the incident after the fact. If the higher-ups caught wind of this, he'd be held responsible. He'd hoped that if everyone just kept quiet, the whole thing would blow over.
"When did your precinct get the right to take justice into its own hands?" Evander's tone was icy.
Sinclair paled. "Mr. Howard, I swear I had no idea at first only found out later, after it happened!" The content we is on novelenglish.net! Evander's lips curled in a humorless smile. "So you found out, and chose to cover it up?"
He walked past Sinclair, settling onto the sofa and pouring himself a cup of tea. "Just because thevictions an ordinary person, no one cares? Director Sinclair, I don't think I need to spell out the consequences for negligence, do I?"
Sinclair wiped the sweat from his brow. He could sense that the person I who'd been hurt must have spowerful backing. 08:46 Chapter 93 "Mr. Howard, I promise-I'll get to the bottom of this and give you a proper explanation." Evander took a slow sip of tea, his eyes unreadable. "You have two days." Sinclair forced a smile, steeling himself. "Understood." Chapter Chapter 94
