Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 681

At seven in the evening, Charlotte arrived outside the charity gala ballroom. She wore a burgundy fur coat over a black velvet fishtail gown. Amidst the glamorous crowd, she once again became a striking new sight, turning heads.

Just as Charlotte entered the hall looking for Evander Howard, Genevieve Howard's voice came from her side, "Charlotte? What are you doing here?"

Genevieve was somewhat surprised by her arrival.

Although this gala was nominally a charity event, it was not open to the public. After all, her father and The Pembrokes had specifically set this up as a "trap" for Evander.

Charlotte hadn't been invited at all!

Genevieve's heart skipped a beat. Could she be here for Evander?

She absolutely could not let Charlotte ruin their plan!

"So she's Charlotte, the former Mrs. Howard?"

"Didn't her brother get detained for alleged rape? How dare she show her face here?"

Hearing the people nearby mention this, Genevieve sneered coldly, "Charlotte, I didn't expect you to have the nerve to come looking for my brother! You're divorced from him, why are you still clinging on?"

"Mr. Howard divorced her?"

"Didn't they say Mr. Howard was devoted to her? Seems the rumors were false; she's the one clinging on?"

Genevieve raised her chin, looking smug. She was more than happy to embarrass Charlotte publicly.

Charlotte listened to their taunts, but instead of getting angry, she smiled, "Actually, I came to see your mother."

Genevieve's smile froze, "What do you mean?"

"What's wrong? Is your mother too embarrassed to come out and greet me?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's fine. I'll go find her myself."

"Stop right there!" Genevieve stepped forward to block her. "Who do you think you are? My mother isn't someone you can just demand to see!"

"I'm your Charlotte."

"You're divorced!"

"The cooling-off period isn't over yet." Charlotte still wore a smile. "At least for now, I am still your Charlotte."

Genevieve gritted her teeth and forced a laugh, "I never realized you were so shameless!"

Charlotte nodded, "That's what happens when you spend too much time around your brother."

"You—"

"Genevieve, why are you still here..." Ilse Sylvan Howard had just come to find her. When she caught sight of Charlotte, she frowned. "What are you doing here?"
