Chapter 1437 Determined To Ruin This Cheating Couple
As soon as Henry left the hotel, Charlotte immediately called Timothy, asking him to assign a few bodyguards to keep an eye on Jessica and Sasha.
Timothy asked, “Kenneth is also on a business trip in Sparaville. Do you want to tell him?”
“No need,” Charlotte replied.
This was originally an issue between Jessica and Henry. Moreover, Kenneth's wife was pregnant with her second child and was resting at home. Hence, Charlotte didn't want to involve Kenneth and his wife in this matter.
After finishing the phone call, Charlotte continued to stay at the hotel.
On the third day, a crisis erupted at the Lambert family's company headquarters in Jadeborough. By mid-morning, the news buzzed everywhere, causing the stock price to plummet.
Meanwhile, at the Baykeep branch, employees had disclosed that an intern was sexually harassed by a superior, leading to immense mental stress and, ultimately, suicide by wrist-cutting. The company not only covered the incident but also failed to penalize the senior executive involved.
The company's Public Relations Department wanted to cover up these scandals and even spoke to those involved in releasing the news. However, due to the irrefutable evidence, it only caused a bigger sensation.
Both the official media of Jadeborough and Baykeep had noticed the affairs of the Lambert family and had reported on them extensively.
Charlotte watched everything indifferently and even called Regina. She asked if her mother had redeemed the pair of emerald bangles and casually mentioned the things she had done at Benson Corporation.
Charlotte said to Regina, “Even if you bore a son for Henry, you wouldn't get a penny if he knew what you've been up to.”
Her words struck right at the heart of Regina.
If the matter remained undisclosed, she could continue living a luxurious life relying on Henry. However, if it were to be exposed, she would only be left with a mansion, and her future in the finance circle would be over.
Left with no other choice, Regina had to ask her mother to get in touch with the person who originally bought the emerald bangles, hoping to buy them back.
Facet grade was the finest of all emeralds, and the pair of emerald bangles that Jiminy gifted to his wife was the beloved treasures of a noblewoman from the twentieth century, exquisitely carved and of excellent quality.
Decades had passed, and those emerald bangles were worth more than just three hundred million now.
Regina's mother knew the emerald bangles were valuable, but she didn't realize they could be this expensive. Because the other party's husband was Henry's company's business partner, she sold the emerald bangles to them for two hundred million, half in cash and half in company shares.
Currently, Regina's mother wanted to buy back the emerald bangles, but the other party quoted a price of five hundred million, which shocked Regina's mother.
Regina personally made another phone call, but the other party insisted that a penny less would be unacceptable.
The affairs of the company left Henry with a splitting headache, making it difficult for Regina to ask him for a loan. She reluctantly sold her high-end jewelry and even sold the mansion she had in her possession. Finally, she managed to scrape together five hundred million.
Anyway, as long as she married Henry in the future, she can still coax Henry into giving her a mansion like this.
Regina bought the pair of emerald bangles and personally went to exchange them for the evidence in Charlotte's hands. Fearing that Charlotte might go back on her word, she even had Charlotte record a video oath.
Charlotte sneered and simply recorded a video for her.
No sooner had Regina left with her things than Henry contacted Charlotte, asking her what it would take for her to back down.
He also guessed that Charlotte had someone helping her. If she leaked any more information, his company would be completely ruined.
Charlotte repeated her words. “Divorce my sister, the custody of Sasha goes to her, and you leave with nothing.”
After enduring another day, Henry finally had to agree.
Charlotte had just returned to Jadeborough. She first sought a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement, and the very next morning, she accompanied Jessica to City Hall.
Fortunately, Jessica also saw Henry's true colors and quickly signed the divorce agreement. She left all the remaining matters to Charlotte to handle without even giving Henry a glance.
After receiving the divorce certificate, Henry's face turned gloomy. “Jessica, you really have a good sister.”
“That's all you need to know.” Charlotte stood in front of her sister, staring coldly at Henry.
Henry didn't waste words with Charlotte and asked her to hand over the items to him. Before leaving, he added, “Your father always valued credibility in his business dealings. If you go back on your word, it would be a disgrace to his memory.”
Jessica asked Charlotte, “What deal did you make with him?”
“There's nothing to worry about,” Charlotte said with a cold laugh. “Jess, your divorce is a personal matter, not a business transaction. What should I be afraid of?”
She was determined to bring down this cheating couple.
