Theodore deliberately instructed his team to ease their watch over Jaziel and Nolan.
It wasn’t because he had let his guard down–on the contrary, he wanted to lure them into action so he could anticipate their moves and be fully prepared.
His men carried out the order promptly.
At the same time, Theodore intentionally informed Charlotte’s parents of Jaziel and Nolan’s plans to come to New
Orleans.
“What? After everything they did to Charlotte, they still want to attend the wedding?”
Charlotte’s mother was furious upon hearing the news.
In the past, she had nothing but praise for Jaziel and Nolan. She had even considered them as potential sons–in–law.
But they had crossed the line by putting Charlotte’s life at risk!
Charlotte must have been heartbroken when Sophie hurt her.
Even worse, her childhood companions–the two who had always stood by her side–chose to support another woman, showing her nothing but coldness.
Even if their intentions were to force Charlotte to confront her feelings and choose between them, Charlotte’s mother could never forgive such a reckless and cruel method.
Now, she felt only gratitude for arranging such a good marriage for Charlotte. Compared to Jaziel and Nolan, Theodore was leagues ahead.
At least Theodore was clean in both reputation and relationships. He was devoted to Charlotte and rooted in New Orleans. Charlotte’s mother had watched him grow up and knew his character well.
Charlotte’s parents wasted no time expressing their disapproval of Jaziel and Nolan to those around them.
As one of the most influential families in New Orleans, the Murphys, now allied with the Washingtons tough
marriage, commanded immense respect.
Other families eager to curry favor with the Murphys quickly distanced themselves from Jaziei and Nolan
Charlotte’s parents even instructed the villa’s security to bar the two from entering.
When Jaziel and Nolan arrived in New Orleans, they were met with the cold indifference of the city’s elite.
They couldn’t get through to Charlotte’s phone; even when they tried using new numbers, they were blocked immediately.
