After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 331

When Roxanne received the notice that the Evernight family had dropped the lawsuit, she let out a huge sigh of relief.

“Charles, the Evernights withdrew the suit!” Roxanne rushed to tell him.

Because of the lawsuit, Roxanne had been staying at the Brent family’s home for the past few days. Flora, due to her pregnancy, had also been brought over by Helena to be looked after.

“That’s wonderful news!” Flora also felt relieved. “We can hold Lilith’s funeral the day after tomorrow!”

“The Evernight family dropped the suit, but Aria hasn’t.”

Charles had already learned about the withdrawal from Ivy and was in the process of arranging for her to join the research institute. As a specially recruited researcher for Flourish Dominion, he had the authority to bring in an assistant without needing Alden’s approval. Charles submitted Ivy’s information, and it was quickly approved.

With the matter settled, Charles felt a great weight lift from his shoulders. But when he thought of Aria, a heavy feeling remained in his chest. He owed Aria too much in this life, but he felt he had no choice. Roxanne had cared for him since he was a child, and Charles couldn’t bring himself to stand by and do nothing.

Flora felt deeply insecure about her relationship with Charles. She had lied to him from the beginning, claiming to be the test subject, but after learning of her pregnancy, Charles never confronted her about it. Had he known she wasn’t the one all along?

Her thoughts in a turmoil, Flora instinctively took Charles’s hand.

Charles’s body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed. He gently stroked Flora’s hair. “You’ve been through a lot lately.”

Flora felt a wave of self-pity and wanted to cry. “Charles… I didn’t mean to lie to you. I just love you so much. I did it to go abroad, but you were ignoring me then, so I…”

“Alright, it’s all in the past. The most important thing for you right now is to take care of yourself and the baby.”

Charles cut Flora off and led her back to her room to rest.
