Chapter 270 She Won’t Change Her Mind
Inside the box was a pair of diamond earrings. The diamonds. were flawlessly cut, sparkling brilliantly under the light, and the box bore the logo of a luxury brand.
Carlos had racked his brain trying to persuade Arthur to lower his demands and leave more profit margin for him. This dinner was part of that effort, but Arthur hadn’t budged.
Left with no choice, Carlos shifted his focus to Charlotte.
Arthur’s sharp brows lifted slightly as he suddenly picked up the carrings and held them near Charlotte’s cars, sizing them up
Charlotte froze. She wondered, “Is he really planning to accept this gift?”
“Not bad,” Arthur remarked approvingly before reaching out to put the diamond earrings on her.
His actions were smooth and intimate, but Charlotte felt incredibly uncomfortable, her body stiffening like a board.
Carlos‘ smile deepened. He thought, “Things are looking promising!”
Once Arthur finished fastening the earrings, he studied them carefully for a moment before turning to Carlos. “Mr. Stoddard, it seems you’ve got quite the eye for gifts. I take it you buy

buy her something every week. Happy wife, happy life!” Carlos replied, nodding enthusiastically..
Arthur smirked slightly and then said, “The previous proposal was decent. Revise it a bit more, and then show it to me.”
With that, he glanced at his watch and added, “It’s getting late. I need to spend some time with my wife. Goodbye.”
He then took Charlotte’s hand and walked out of the private room without waiting for a response.
Carlos beamed with joy, feeling like his gamble had paid off.
He immediately turned to his assistant. “Order all the latest jewelry pieces and have them delivered to Mrs. Harrison’s hotel!”
“Yes, sir.”

In the Car, Charlotte broke the silence. “I need to get back to the hospital. My grandmother is waiting for me.”
Arthur, however, replied in an indifferent tone, “One night without returning won’t cause any trouble.”
“What do you want?”
Charlotte looked at him, completely unable to figure out what he was thinking.
The dim light inside the car cast shadows over Arthur’s face,

Arthur calmly continued, “Charlotte, relax. Give us a chance. We can still get along like we used to.”
“Why won’t you divorce me?” Charlotte asked directly. “If you
try divorcing me, you might find that the world becomes a
lot better. No one will be an obstacle for you, and you can do whatever you want.”
The air in the car grew tense and heavy.
“I’m getting tired of hearing you talk about divorce,” Arthur said slowly, his voice laced with a hint of icy displeasure.
Charlotte, however, chuckled softly. “Well, I’m determined to get one, Arthur. You can’t change my mind.”
Arthur suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of irritation.
He thought Charlotte was being utterly ungrateful.
He had given her so much, yet she still insisted on leaving him. His refusal to let her go almost made it seem like he was the one begging her to stay.
