Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576 Teach Her A Lesson

If I leave the country today, I won't be able to return anymore!

Charlotte glanced at her plane ticket, the weight of these unknowns hanging heavily upon her.

My entire life, my family, and everything I hold dear is here in this country. While I may manage to escape temporarily, if I'm barred from returning, I'll be trapped in a foreign land indefinitely. Heath's pitiful offer of three hundred grand is hardly enough to sustain me for long. His phone call served as a clear message that he was abandoning me to my fate. I have anticipated this betrayal, and I don't rely on him to rescue me. It falls upon me to find a way to save myself.

Charlotte remained at the airport for some time. She knew that most people in Jadeborough couldn't afford to cross Alexander.

However, the damage had already been done, and there was no way to undo the past. She couldn't change the fact that she had offended him. Her only option was to confront the problem head-on and find a resolution.

Felix was an attentive man. He promptly retracted the order to prevent Charlotte from leaving the country. However, Alexander had made it clear that he didn't want Charlotte to return to Chanaea once she departed.

Felix understood what he meant—Charlotte would be effectively banned from returning to the country.

Nevertheless, he couldn't shake off his concerns that Charlotte might be putting on an act. If she were to stay in the country and Alexander accidentally encountered her, it would be negligence on his part.

Therefore, Felix deployed his men to keep a close watch on Charlotte, ensuring she wouldn't change her mind or attempt any unexpected moves.

Indeed, Charlotte chose to remain in the country after a night passed.

Since she refused to leave, he would have to take action.

Of course, he knew he had to report Charlotte's change of mind to Alexander.

Alexander was scheduled to head to Odyssey this morning, so Felix planned on informing him after he returned to his office.

This morning, Odyssey was set to hold a shareholder's meeting. Sophia was initially scheduled to attend, but Alexander didn't want her to tire herself out. Moreover, he had recently assumed control of Odyssey's management. Although Sophia still held shares in the company, she was no longer in an active leadership position. As a result, it was only fitting for Alexander to take her place and attend the shareholder's meeting himself.

Sophia woke up early in the morning. After washing up, she stepped out of the bathroom to discover that it had drizzled this morning, bringing with it a cool breeze that wafted into her room. Overnight, Jadeborough had transitioned into the season of autumn.

She opted for a cozy, oversized sweater that added an extra touch of elegance to her appearance.

As Alexander glanced up, he caught sight of Sophia descending the staircase. He recalled how he was struck by her remarkable composure and stability the first time he laid eyes on her.

Her beauty went beyond her exquisite features alone. Though he had initially mistaken her for a scheming woman, he couldn't help but be captivated by her charming presence.

When he married Sophia, he envisioned his future wife to possess her grace, minus any manipulative tendencies.

He never got tired of beholding Sophia's beauty, which seemed to flourish with each passing day.

Reflecting on his initial marriage to Sophia, he recalled Samuel's comment about it not being a bad choice, and he had to admit that, despite Samuel's lack of helpful advice, he had been right in this instance.

Collecting his thoughts, Alexander rose to his feet and approached Sophia. He supported her waist and touched her hand. “Your hand is cold.”

Sophia gazed at him and smiled. “I've just washed my hands.”

Alexander nodded and led her to the dining table. “What would you like for lunch?”

Hearing that, Sophia raised a brow. “I thought you were heading to Odyssey later?”

“I'll be back after the meeting ends.”

“Oh.” Sophia snorted out loud. “I don't think Mr. Lane would like that.”

Alexander gave her a bowl of oatmeal. “Ignore him.”

“Okay!”
