And she was nothing more than a servant's daughter.
"What's wrong? Are you worried your dad won't accept me?" Charles asked, noticing her hesitation.
"No, my dad will definitely accept you."
She was only terrified that once Charles found out the truth, he wouldn't accept her.
Charles gently stroked her hair. "Then let's arrange a meeting soon. Does that work for you?"
Lorna nodded slowly.
"How about tomorrow night? After work, you can take me to meet your parents."
Charles was chomping at the bit.
If he could just lock down his ties to the Ellington family, he would be untouchable at the company.
"Tomorrow... tomorrow is a bit too sudden. My dad is really busy."
"Then when? You need to set something up and give me a concrete date."
Lorna didn't want to let Charles down. He had bought her that incredibly expensive bag and showered her with so much affection.
If she refused, it would absolutely crush him.
She suddenly recalled overhearing Victor Ellington's assistant mentioning a project in Silverport. This coming Saturday, Victor was scheduled to travel there.
With Victor out of town, Diane Ellington would also be away.
Diane spent every Saturday out with her socialite friends and never returned until late at night.
Saturday was the perfect window of opportunity.
"Let's do Saturday then. I'll invite our whole department over. It'll be more fun with a crowd."
Charles practically vibrated with excitement. "Are you serious? You're inviting the whole department? Aren't you worried about blowing your cover? You're the Ellington heiress."
"Honestly, you guys figured out who I am a long time ago, didn't you? You wouldn't have treated me so well otherwise. Since the secret is out, I might as well lay my cards on the table. We'll do it Saturday. You can let everyone in the department know."
"I swear on my life. If I, Max Holt, am lying to you, may I drop dead."
Seeing his solemn vow, Evelyn finally let her guard down.
Max was completely exasperated.
He couldn't believe that little bitch Jane Whelan had actually been stirring up drama about his past. It was infuriating.
It seemed he needed to find a way to mess with the Whelan Group and teach her a lesson.
The Holt family might not carry the same weight as the Sinclair family, but quietly sabotaging the Whelans would be a walk in the park.
"Babe, as long as you believe me, that's all that matters. Don't let people manipulate you," he soothed.
"I believe you, but Elena is a treacherous snake. I'm not letting her get away with this."
Max flinched. "What... what are you planning to do to her?"
