Chapter 176
Charlotte was completely helpless.
When did Alexander become as shameless as Calvin?
"I said before that I could treat Sabrina's health in exchange for Jenna's whereabouts, but in the end, we rescued Jenna ourselves. It had nothing to do with you."
"So why should we still keep our promise?"
Calvin jumped in at this moment, looking completely righteous: "Charlotte, didn't I tell you that I took Jenna to the suburbs? I did, right! Since I told you, you should keep your promise. Don't try to back out!"
Looking at the unreasonable Calvin, Charlotte laughed in anger.
But she quickly remembered another issue: "But you said before that Ms. Spencer didn't want Oliver to treat her."
As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, Sabrina quickly stated her position: "Charlotte, I've thought it through now. I'm willing."
"After all, once you're not by Alexander's side, there'll be no one to take care of him. So no matter what, I need to get healthy so I can take good care of him for you."
Hearing these words and seeing the subtle provocation in Sabrina's eyes, Charlotte smiled quietly.
'Want to take care of him? Then go ahead and take care of him all you want! I don't have time to fight with you over this,' she thought.
At this moment, Calvin spoke up again threateningly: "Right, if this isn't resolved, forget about processing the divorce papers today!"
Calvin had rushed over after receiving Sabrina's call to witness Alexander's important moment of breaking free from his misery.
And it was in the car that he suddenly remembered the promise Charlotte had made. So he urged Alexander that no matter what, they couldn't let Charlotte take all the advantages, and maybe there really was a chance to cure Sabrina's illness.
Sabrina was also persuaded by him.
However, she knew her own situation—she definitely wasn't hoping her illness could actually be cured, since it was fake anyway.
Her plan was that since Alexander was about to officially divorce, her hope of marrying him had grown. If that was the case, she needed to prepare quickly.
The first thing was to quickly establish herself as a top industry figure and earn enough prestige! Only this way could she shut up Cynthia and those snobs in high society, successfully marry Alexander, and become the glamorous Mrs. Forbes.
Regarding this, she had already discussed the entire plan with Alexander.
Next week was the Forbes Group's 40th anniversary celebration. The design genius Nova would attend, and Alexander had already arranged for her to be in charge of receiving Nova. He also told her all about Nova's preferences from his investigation, instructing her to win Nova's favor and ideally become her student.
With Nova as her background, her future career would become even more brilliant.
As for the ongoing national design competition.
Quentin had already made arrangements for her—the championship could only be hers!
So Sabrina was extremely confident that with her intelligence and connections, she could win both Nova's favor and the design competition championship.
The second thing was her health.
No matter what, Cynthia would never allow a woman with a terminal illness to marry into the Forbes Family.
So she urgently needed an opportunity to make her illness appear cured.
And Oliver from that shabby clinic was the perfect excuse right now.
After all, the clinic was so run-down—if Oliver was really good, how could he be in such a state?
She was certain that Oliver probably just stumbled upon some prescription from somewhere and happened to cure Cynthia's insomnia by luck, not through any outstanding medical skills.
So as long as she pretended to cooperate with treatment, then found the right moment to say her illness was really cured.
Then marrying Alexander would be just around the corner.
That's why she had just changed her tune and agreed to let Oliver treat her.
At this moment, looking at the three people opposite her who had clearly unified their opinions, Charlotte decided to temporarily back down in order to smoothly get divorced.
"In that case, I'll talk to Oliver about it later."
But before she could finish, Calvin started shouting: "No way! Who knows what scheme you're plotting? Anyway, we can't process the papers until this is resolved."
Jenna's fists clenched: "Calvin! Alexander hasn't even spoken yet, why are you butting in!"
Jenna's voice was sharp and urgent, instantly drawing the attention of several passersby nearby.
Calvin got furious and raised his fist to charge forward.
Alexander stopped him: "Calvin."
Calvin had to reluctantly stop, but still cursed: "Jenna, are you going through menopause? Don't you know that a bad temper is also an illness!"
Jenna spat back at him: "Then you better be careful, because I get sick every time I see you!"
Seeing Calvin about to retort, Alexander stopped him. After all, his time was precious, not meant for watching Calvin argue with women.
Although stopped, Calvin still wouldn't let it go: "Alexander, Charlotte has been using your name to swindle people everywhere and got you into such a mess! I have to stand up for you today!"
On the other side, Charlotte also held Jenna back, but she didn't want to let Calvin off easily.
So she glanced at the still-fussing Calvin and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Wallace, while you have time to stand up for Alexander, don't forget to keep a close eye on your wallet."
Calvin finally stopped making a fuss: "Charlotte, what do you mean by that?"
Charlotte didn't look at him anymore, just lifted a corner of her skirt with one hand and twirled gracefully in front of Calvin and the others: "Don't you think this dress looks a bit familiar?"
"This is the treasure piece that the Wallace Group specially commissioned from an internationally famous master at great expense. As soon as it arrived at the store, Daniel immediately sent it to me."
"And he also told me that this dress alone cost nearly ten million, not including the fee for that fashion design master."
Charlotte said while looking down at the dress, deliberately drawing out her words: "I heard this dress is decorated with one hundred and eight bright diamonds, all of the highest quality real diamonds."
"And these buttons are also made of pure gold. If I took off these diamonds and gold buttons someday, I could probably sell them for a large sum of money."
Having been focused on arguing earlier, Calvin hadn't noticed what Charlotte was wearing at all.
Now hearing her say this, he realized it was indeed the treasure piece the Wallace Group had just spent a fortune creating, and his eyes immediately turned red with anger.
He knew Charlotte was doing this on purpose.
Deliberately wearing this outfit to disgust him!
Calvin was about to charge forward again but was stopped by Sabrina beside him.
Sabrina could see that Charlotte was deliberately provoking Calvin to get back at him for Jenna.
But honestly, she was also full of jealousy and hatred toward Charlotte at this moment.
In just two days, she had spent two hundred million of Alexander's money! And this didn't even include the Wallace Group's treasure piece she was wearing now.
Shameless woman! Actually treating Alexander's money as her own!
Sabrina glanced at Charlotte, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes.
'Charlotte, don't get too cocky! Once you're divorced, I have plenty of ways to make you return all these things! Alexander and everything in the Forbes Family can only be mine,' she thought.
Unlike Calvin and Sabrina, Alexander's expression remained calm throughout, as if Charlotte's actions could no longer stir any ripples in his heart.
But the well-hidden flash of amazement deep in his eyes still betrayed his inner feelings.
