Chapter30
But then again.
His goal was to win her over–what was a little humiliation in the meantime?
“…..Are you sure you’ve thought this through?”
Timothy looked at her deeply and nodded solemnly. “Lottie, for you, I’m willing to do anything.”
Charlotte felt nothing but disgust at his words.
To get another bite of the Lindsey family’s fortune, he really would stop at nothing.
“Alright, go to HR and complete your onboarding. Once that’s done, can officially start work tomorrow.
you
Timothy breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay, Lottie, I won’t let you down.”
Charlotte smirked playfully. “It’s better to call me Ms. Lindsey at work.”
“…Alright, Ms. Lindsey.”
Timothy wanted to get closer to her, but Charlotte was already getting up to leave. “I have a meeting to attend. You should get busy with your own work.”
With that, Charlotte left him behind and walked straight out of the office.
“Andy, I’m going out tomorrow. Arrange for a bodyguard to accompany

me.”
“Yes, Ms. Lindsey.”
Charlotte had always been easygoing and disliked having bodyguards around, thinking it was too ostentatious.
But now, it seemed she couldn’t go without them.
After Charlotte left.
Timothy looked around the office, secretly vowing, “You wretched woman, just you wait. One day, everything here and everything belonging to the Lindsey family will be mine.”
“Once I take over the company, the first thing I’ll do is fire that snobbish secretary from earlier.”
“Beep, beep…”
His phone started ringing.
He glanced at the caller ID–it was Jocelynn.
“Hello, Jocelynn.”
On the other end, Jocelynn’s aggrieved voice came through. “Timo, what are you busy with? Why haven’t you called me in so long?”
Timothy frowned, sounding distracted. “I’ve been busy lately, just haven’t had the time.”
Jocelynn bit her lower lip. “Is the company doing well?”
It’s alright.” Timothy replied perfunctorily.

Right now, his career was hitting roadblocks everywhere, and his talent and abilities had nowhere to be put to use.
Naturally, he was no longer as high–spirited as in his previous life, with plenty of free time for romance and leisure.
“Timo, I miss you so much. When will you have time to come see me?”
“Tll come see you when I have some free time. I’m busy right now, so let’s talk later.” Timothy said a few perfunctory words and hung up.
“Hello? Hello…” Jocelynn called a few more times, but the call was already disconnected.
After the call ended.
Tears began to fall from her eyes, one after another.
Now, she was all alone in a foreign country. Without Charlotte to take care of her food, clothing, and shelter, her quality of life had plummeted- she couldn’t even afford instant food.
She didn’t have a penny left, not even enough to buy sanitary pads. She had originally wanted to call Timothy for some money, but before she could even bring it up, he hung up on her!
A rich second–generation classmate started egging her on again. “If you can’t even afford to eat, how can you focus on your studies?”
“Now, all you have to do is attend a party, and you can earn ten thousand pounds.”
Jocelynn hesitated, clenching her arm tightly.
She knew very well that these parties thrown by rich kids abroad were wild and chaotic. The men and women all played hard and were very

open. Plus, there were many tall, strong black men.
Previously, there had been a Balamora student who attended such a party and ended up bleeding heavily after being with one of those black men.
With this thought, Jocelynn still refused.
She was indeed short of money, but that didn’t mean she could abandon all her principles.
After much deliberation, she finally mustered up the courage to call Charlotte.
Unfortunately.
Charlotte had already changed her old phone number, and Jocelynn couldn’t reach her at all.”
