Chapter 60
A figure swiftly darted past everyone.
By the time people came to their senses, the person had already steadied the old man. "Are you okay?"
The old man patted his chest, still shaken. "I'm fine, just nearly scared to death and mad to death."
When Sabrina saw who it was, she couldn't help but clench her fists in resentment.
However, she quickly put on a delighted expression and approached. "Charlotte? What are you doing here?"
Charlotte couldn't be bothered with her. Only after slowly helping the old man back to his chair did she look up coldly. "If I didn't come, would I just watch you tear this clinic apart?"
Charlotte was better off not speaking. Once she did, Sabrina's eyes immediately reddened. "Charlotte, you're wronging me."
As she spoke, she tried to reach out and grab Charlotte's hand.
Charlotte pulled her hand away. "Don't touch me. Dirty."
Because Charlotte was being cyberbullied, Landon had temporarily brought Philip back to Prime Estate, so she didn't need to pick up the child from school.
After Jenna went to the shop this morning, she was alone in the apartment and suddenly felt a bit stifled, so she simply took a cab to the clinic, planning to help the old man out.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she saw Calvin push the old man down...
Seeing Charlotte actually dare to show disgust toward Sabrina, Calvin flew into a rage, his finger almost poking Charlotte's nose. "Charlotte, don't get too full of yourself."
But the old man suddenly stood up and pulled Charlotte behind him. "If you're a man, come at me! What kind of skill is bullying a woman?"
Looking at the old man protecting Charlotte at every turn, Calvin suddenly sneered. "Charlotte, you really have some tricks."
"First you schemed to snatch Alexander away from Sabrina, and now you're even hooking up with other men behind his back?"
"Alexander is really unlucky to have married a woman like you!"
Charlotte looked at him coldly. "Calvin, wasn't the last lesson enough? Do you want to go back to jail?"
Calvin just grinned, full of disdain. "Stop trying to scare me!"
But Sabrina pretended to look anxious and tugged at Calvin. "Calvin, stop talking. Charlotte isn't that kind of person."
Calvin looked disapproving. "Sabrina, you're just too kind-hearted. You think too well of people, that's why she bullies you everywhere."
At this point, Calvin suddenly smiled sleazily. "Charlotte, I'm really curious—exactly how many men have you hooked up with? Besides Landon and this old man, who else?"
Seeing the onlookers start pointing at Charlotte, Calvin became even more arrogant. "Now's the perfect chance to let everyone see her true colors."
As Calvin spoke, he walked up to the onlookers and pointed at Charlotte, starting to spread rumors. "Everyone, take a good look! She's the Mrs. Forbes from the trending topics online—Charlotte!"
"Not only did she steal her own sister's boyfriend, she's also hooking up with other men everywhere."
"Tell me, isn't this woman cheap?"
At this point, some people in the crowd who had seen the video recognized Charlotte, and the crowd suddenly erupted.
"That's right, the person in the photo is her!"
"I thought she looked familiar at the time, but I didn't expect it was really her!"
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. Anyone who gets involved with this kind of woman is unlucky."
"Birds of a feather flock together. This old doctor hanging around with her is probably no good either."
"Right, poor girl, she almost got hurt by him."
The old man's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to rush up and fight Calvin. "You punk, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Charlotte was afraid he'd get hurt, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him.
But Calvin just looked arrogant and provocative. "Come on, I'm not afraid!"
At the same time, someone in the crowd actually started throwing things at Charlotte...
Amid the chaos, a commotion suddenly arose from the crowd. "The police are here."
Before the words finished, two police officers appeared as if from nowhere.
"Everyone stop!"
Turns out someone in the crowd had called the police.
At the officers' warning, both the old man and Calvin reluctantly stopped.
However, Calvin quickly pointed at the old man and complained: "Officers, it's him! He tried to molest my friend just now."
The two officers walked up to the old man. Just as they were about to speak, Sabrina pitifully cut in first. "Officers, can I say a few words to him first?"
After the officers nodded in agreement, Sabrina walked up to the old man and said in a voice only the two of them could hear. "I'm giving you a chance."
"If you're willing to give me the formula for the medicine now, I can speak to the police for you and let you go."
"Otherwise, you can wait to go to jail."
But what Sabrina never expected was that as soon as she finished speaking, the old man spat at her. "Want to threaten me? Too bad I've never been afraid of threats."
Calvin got angry. "Still dare to be arrogant? Let's see how I deal with you."
Charlotte stepped forward, blocking Calvin. "What? You dare to make a move in front of the police?"
The two officers also timely came to Calvin's side, one on each side.
Calvin had no choice but to unwillingly unclench his fists.
At this moment, Sabrina smiled weakly at the two officers: "Officers, I've said what I needed to say. As for this gentleman, I'll leave it to you to handle fairly."
The next moment, just as the police were about to take the relevant people back to the station for investigation, someone suddenly strode in and grabbed Sabrina.
"Sabrina, are you okay?"
Turns out Calvin, wanting to take credit with Sabrina, had immediately called Alexander as soon as Sabrina left.
Now seeing Alexander appear, Sabrina's eyes immediately reddened as she threw herself into his arms: "Alexander, I was so scared."
At this point, the two officers also recognized Alexander, so after greeting him, they gave them some time to resolve things themselves.
Seeing another backer arrive, Calvin's attitude became even more arrogant, even pointing at the old man imperiously: "Alexander, you came at the right time."
"Sabrina was worried about your mom's insomnia, so early this morning she dragged me here to buy medicine, but this old man not only wouldn't sell us the medicine, he also took the opportunity to molest Sabrina!"
As Calvin spoke, he pointed at Charlotte: "And her! Fooling around with this old man, she must have put him up to it."
Alexander's face darkened as he reached out to grab Charlotte's hand: "Charlotte, let's go outside and talk."
But Charlotte pulled her hand back: "Whatever you have to say, say it here."
At this point, Sabrina also followed over, eyes red, fearfully grabbing the hem of Alexander's suit: "Alexander, I'm scared."
Alexander turned around and squeezed her hand reassuringly.
Then he turned back, brows furrowed: "Charlotte, apologize to Sabrina right now."
A cold smile crossed Charlotte's lips: "Impossible. We will never admit to things we didn't do."
Alexander gritted his teeth and stepped closer, grabbing Charlotte's hand and lowering his voice: "Don't push me. If you don't apologize, not only you, but this old man's clinic won't be able to stay open either."
Charlotte looked straight at him without even blinking: "Try it."
Alexander's expression changed. He flung Charlotte's hand away: "Officers!"
