Chapter 4 4

Kennedy stopped speaking, but Charlotte understood he was threatening her.

Charlotte found it annoying because she had just lost her work due to him and now she had to follow him about.

They had first agreed to keep their distance from one another, but now they were compelled to stick together. She didn't intend for it to happen, after all.

They took a silent path to the entrance.

Kennedy's wheelchair was put in the trunk of his own vehicle once he was hoisted inside. Charlotte stooped down reflexively and prepared to get inside the car, but Nathan extended a hand to stop her.

"This is Young Master Moore's personal automobile, Ms. Christina."

Charlotte was surprised. The question "What do you mean?"

Kennedy turned to face her, his deep, serene eyes mocking her. "You're still ineligible to work as my assistant."

Charlotte's face darkened when she heard that, and she enquired, "So why did you agree to your grandfather's request just now?"

Kennedy turned away from her and ignored her. Charlotte reached out to block Nathan as he was ready to shut the car door.

"If you go, what should I do next? What should I tell your grandfather about this?

As soon as she heard Old Master Moore, Kennedy's eyes lit up with rage.

He narrowed his eyes as he fixed a ferocious gaze on her.

Nathan, give her the directions and allow her to go there.

Charlotte was unable to speak. How could someone so horrible even exist?

Without showing emotion, Nathan informed her of the route before abruptly closing the door.

In the rearview mirror, Kennedy cast a quick glimpse at the small person waiting at the gate before averting his eyes.

He paused for a second, then yelled out to Nathan after having a thought. Any updates on the woman I asked you to search for?

In response to this, Nathan apologized, "Young Master Moore, the day was rainy, there were no CCTVs on that road, and the night was too dark for the few pedestrians to see clearly. But I think we can find her if you give me a little more time.

When Kennedy heard that, his attitude changed, and he responded. "A month has passed. If I'm not mistaken, she ought to be expecting at this time.

Nate was astonished. Unknown woman carrying Young Master Moore's offspring?

That should not be taken lightly.

At that information, Nathan's face took on a serious expression. "Understood! I'll have someone check out the hospital.

Kennedy averted his gaze. The woman from that night was the first woman he had ever been with. So he had to find her wherever she was.

Charlotte walked to the Moore Group building in thirty minutes.

She spent a considerable amount of time explaining herself to the security guard at the front desk before Manfred assisted her in making it to the elevator.

"Get out of the elevator and turn right when you get to your floor. The last stop will be Kennedy's office. I can't show you how to get there since I still have errands to run. Are you able to navigate?"

Charlotte gave him a short nod of appreciation. "I can. I'm grateful, Manfred.

"Don't worry."

Charlotte could not help but shake her head as she watched him leave. Their appearance made it obvious where both of them were from.

"Why is one tree so kind and the other so bothersome if they are the same tree?" Charlotte inhaled deeply before moving toward the hallway's conclusion.

After finding the office, Charlotte was ready to knock when it appeared to open on its own and an unidentified thing flew out.

Due of her inability to react in time, Charlotte and the heavy object both fell to the ground.

"Argh! Kennedy! How could you treat me like this?"

What Charlotte found when she was struck was a woman with thick makeup and unkempt clothing. The woman quickly rose, cursing and pointing at the person inside.

Kennedy is seated in his wheelchair, his His body had a strong aura, and his eyes were terrifying. He said through his thin lips, "Fuck off!"

"Y-You!" The woman was so angry that her finger began to shake. Who do you think you are, Kennedy? Do you really think I'd even blink an eye at you if you weren't the second young master of the Moore Family? You are an invalid! Do you truly hold yourself in such high regard? How dare you continue to reject me?"

Kennedy's eyes were cold and aggressive, as if he were being insulted for his disability.

The woman wanted to scream more foul words.

Charlotte, who was standing to the side, stood up and started speaking.

"Ms., you're here flinging yourself at Kennedy even though he has a physical disability. Your frustration at not being able to gain his interest!"

The alluring woman, who detested being made fun of, went to Charlotte right away.

She spoke sarcastically while pointing at her, "Who are you?" Are you in a good spot to discuss right now?"

Charlotte grinned, raised her hand, and swiftly smacked the woman across the face.

Slap!

The hallway reverberated with the sound.

I said, "How dare you slap me." In shock, the gorgeous woman hid her face.

Slap! Charlotte struck the woman once again.

Despite the fact that Charlotte was wearing flats and wasn't wearing makeup, her aura was exceptional.

She confidently cocked her chin at the woman in shock.

"I'm Mrs. Kennedy. You have no right to woo my spouse in front of me. Do you believe I am blind?"

Charlotte spoke while gritting her teeth as she continued to look at the woman who was still pointing at her. "Now get lost! Should I request that the security officer pick you up and dump you into the streets instead?

To call the security guard, Charlotte pretended to pull out her phone.

"Y-Y-You.." The woman covered her bloated face with embarrassment. She reluctantly spoke before turning away. "Simply wait. You'll be on your knees pleading for my pardon sooner or later!"

The moment Charlotte raised her fist to strike the woman once more, it scared the female off.

Kennedy's eyes were filled with curiosity, judgment, and other weird emotions as he watched the shy person in front of him transform into a powerful, self-assured lady.

Kennedy had already gone back to looking icy as usual when Charlotte turned her head to look at him. He then made a monotone comment, "I must have underestimated you, I suppose."

Charlotte gave a disdainful shrug.

"Despite the formality, we remain husband and wife. How can I, as your wife, allow another woman to malign and seduce my husband?

The fact that the words came out of her mouth so naturally startled Kennedy for a brief while he quickly sneered in a bitter way as soon as he realized he was expressing his genuine sentiments voice.

"Humph, divorced women are so knowledgeable; can't they call just about anyone their husband?"

Charlotte scowled when she heard the sarcastic words.

Charlotte followed Kennedy and, remembering the task Old Master Moore had given her, seized his wheelchair before speaking. "All right, I arrived at the workplace by myself as you requested. You'll honor what you said, right?

Charlotte simply pushed him into the office without waiting for him to respond. "

What is it that you want me to do?

Although his aura grew stronger, Kennedy remained silent.

Then he scoffed and jeered. "It appears that you are attempting to manipulate me."

Charlotte's lips were pursed.

"Not that I wanted to be your assistant, either, but your grandfather requested this."

"Are you threatening me with him?" Kennedy's strong voice has a menacing tone.

"How could I? I too am a victim. Can't we get an agreement on this?"

Charlotte observed that the office was very disorganized, with some paperwork even lying on the floor. The woman who had just departed had to have done it.

In light of that, Charlotte crouched to pick up the papers and set them on the desk.

Kennedy's eyes darkened as he observed her string of activities.

"For me to be moved by her earlier actions is such a joke! She is simply a conceited woman."

"She acted as the old man's spy as well, and she did it all to approach me! She has far superior techniques than any other woman I've seen before, I have to confess."

Nathan just so happened to walk in at this moment.

"Your meeting will begin in five minutes, Mr. Kennedy."

Charlotte caught Nathan's attention for a brief while; he hadn't anticipated that she would arrive at the company on foot.

Kennedy had intended to let Nathan shove him out of the room, but he had an idea and proposed instead.

"You want to work with me, right? I'll give you a chance, then, very well.
