Chapter 1433 No Second Chances
Upon hearing this, Charlotte knew that Jerry was serious, which instantly infuriated her.
That day, she braved the terrible weather to return to Jadeborough, all for the sake of celebrating Jerry's birthday. She even went to retrieve the ring. But who would have known that Jessica quarreled with Henry while the children were present?
She could make up for Jerry's missed birthday but would be at a loss if Henry hurt Jessica.
“Fine, if he wants to break up, let's break up! Who the h*ll cares? I can't be bothered to waste my breath explaining!” Charlotte coldly spat into the phone. “Tell him this. I won't give him second chances!”
Joash was terrified by Charlotte's furious words over the phone.
He had been by Jerry's side for a long time. During that period, Jerry and Charlotte had a happy and harmonious relationship with no conflicts, nor did they give each other silent treatments.
It seemed that their relationship began to change a few months ago.
Jerry became increasingly concerned about the men appearing by Charlotte's side. He couldn't bear her entanglement with her ex-boyfriend. It seemed as if this was why the two were constantly arguing and giving each other the cold shoulder.
Joash didn't know what Jerry was thinking, but now that he had returned all the gifts from Charlotte, it was clear that he was disheartened.
Charlotte had just hung up the phone when Jessica's call came in.
Mary was the one who called.
She told Charlotte that Sasha suddenly developed a high fever during her nap, and her forehead was scorching hot. Fever patches were of no use and she was on her way to the military hospital with the child at the moment.
Jessica was heartbroken. She instructed Charlotte to wait inside the ward while she went outside to wait for their arrival.
However, not even a minute after Jessica left, Charlotte put on her coat and left the ward. She followed Mary over to the pediatrics department. Seeing the child's feverish, flushed face, the doctor quickly prepared the medicine and injected her with it.
Sasha talked gibberish during her high fever, pleading with her mom and dad to stop fighting. It was clear how much the events of that night had traumatized her.
Half an hour after the doctor gave Sasha the injection, her high fever gradually subsided.
Charlotte asked Jessica to carry Sasha over to her ward to rest.
She then had another private conversation with Jessica. “Jess, you and Henry are husband and wife. If you divorce, he might use Sasha to threaten you for his benefit. Don't get involved in this. I'll handle it.”
“If I don't make that b*stard pay, I might as well spell my name backward!” She said coldly, her eyes filled with fierce determination.
Henry and his mistress hid their address very well in Baykeep. It was beyond Charlotte's current abilities to find them. However, Genevieve's granddad was well-known in Baykeep.
An hour later, Charlotte changed and left the hospital to seek help from Genevieve.
After Genevieve found out about Henry's affair and domestic abuse against her and Jessica, she headed off to Baykeep to visit her granddad alongside Charlotte.
Genevieve's uncle, Felix, was an important man in Baykeep. It was a matter of minutes for his secretary to request an address from the Ministry of Transport.
Knowing that Genevieve had arrived in Baykeep, Felix sent his driver to the airport to pick them up since the weather was bad.
On the way to the mistress' house, Genevieve asked Charlotte, “So, you just want to give her a good beating? I think Henry is even worse. If Henry had gotten a grip of himself, he wouldn't have fallen for the mistress at the drop of a hat.”
Charlotte pressed her pale lips together, “Of course, I won't let him off the hook. But that mistress' mother stole Jess' jewelry. I have to get it back. She's not allowed to take anything that belongs to my sister!”
As the two were chatting, the car pulled to a stop at an upscale mansion area in Baykeep.
The security in this residential area was extremely tight, not allowing outside vehicles to enter. However, as soon as the guard at the security booth saw the credentials the driver presented, his expression immediately changed. He respectfully allowed the car to pass.
Charlotte said, “I'm glad you're here. Otherwise, even with the address, I wouldn't have been able to get into this neighborhood.”
All the mansions in Building C were designed with two elevators for each residential unit. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Charlotte could hear voices coming from a nearby unit, the main door of which was wide open.
Charlotte briskly walked into the unit, only to find Sophia, the mistress' mother, playing toy blocks with a child in the living room.
The little boy was about two years old, with a round head and chubby cheeks. Occasionally, he would call out to Sophia, addressing her as Grandma. When he lifted his head, Charlotte noticed that he slightly resembled her brother-in-law, Henry.
One glance was all it took for Charlotte to understand everything, and she immediately blew up.
