Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577 Have Not Given You A Rose

Not long after, the assistant approached Charlotte, saying, “Ms. Brooks, Mr. Xenos would like you to head upstairs.”

Charlotte gave the assistant a nod of acknowledgment and placed her luggage aside. “Thank you.”

Her heart pounded with anxiety throughout the journey. She had absolutely no idea whether Alexander would be interested in the bargaining chips she had.

While she was lost in her thoughts, the elevator door opened, and the assistant stepped out. “This way, Ms. Brooks.”

As soon as Charlotte exited the elevator, she spotted Felix waiting for her ahead. Felix was extremely polite to her, but for some reason, his gaze felt a little hostile.

She felt a chill run down her spine as she walked toward him.

“Ms. Brooks, Mr. Xenos is in there,” informed Felix.

He led her to the office and knocked on the door. It did not take long for them to hear an answer from Alexander. “Come in.”

Only then did Felix push the door open to let Charlotte in.

The office was huge, but Charlotte spotted Alexander at first glance.

When she thought of what happened last night, all of her courage went away. Suddenly, she could not bring herself to step into the office.

Where on earth did I get the courage to come to see him at his company? Will I make him angrier?

Despite all the questions in her head, she was out of options. Now that things had come to that point, she could only give everything she had.

Hence, Charlotte gritted her teeth and willed herself to enter the office. “Mr. Xenos.”

Alexander glanced at her with a gaze that had a hint of impatience, his expression icy. “Go on. What do you have that'll interest me?”

He did not want to, nor did he have the patience to hear her talk about other things.

Charlotte glanced at Alexander. She thought of talking about the lawsuit first, but she gave up on the idea when she saw the look in his eyes. Hurriedly, she took out her phone and looked for the video before placing the device in front of Alexander. “I found this out by accident. Heath has a child.”

The news was something unexpected for Charlotte.

However, that child was a girl. If she were a boy, Heath would have already taken him home.

If the news about Heath having a child got out, it would affect him greatly.

For people like him, being a player was a completely different thing from having a child out of wedlock.

Not to mention Heath still had feelings for Sophia. The latter was Alexander's wife, and no matter how bold Heath was, the Barker family would never condone his behavior.

With Heath's brother currently in charge of the Barker family, he would never let Heath stay in Jadeborough if the news about his daughter got out. That was something Alexander wanted to see as well.

Charlotte was feeling slightly uneasy; she did not know if the information was enough.

At that, Alexander took the phone and played the video.

In the video was a girl who resembled Heath. She was also calling him “Dad.”

The fact that Heath kept the video meant he had some form of attachment to his daughter.

The news was undoubtedly a valuable one for Alexander.

Compared to Charlotte, he preferred not to see a man like Heath linger in Jadeborough. Alexander even had the urge to make Felix kidnap Heath back to Coldbridge.

Returning the phone to the table, Alexander looked up and glanced at Charlotte calmly. “Ms. Brooks, you tried to set my wife up several times. And just last night, you worked with Heath to set me up. What makes you think this insignificant information you provide will make me forgive you for everything you did?”

Charlotte went pale the moment she heard that, and she shook her head fervently. “That's not what I mean, Mr. Xenos. I... I...”

That was all she could manage, for she did not know what to say.

Deep down, she knew Alexander was right. The video was not important enough to make him forgive her.

“Mr. Xenos, I know I was wrong for the things I did in the past. The only reason I acted rashly was that I listened to Heath's nonsense. C-Could you please have mercy—”

“Since you have self-awareness, you just accept your punishment.”
