Thinking back, he had treated Charlotte so cruelly and coldly in his previous life.
If she was also reborn, of course she wouldn’t pay him any more attention, and might even seek revenge.
“Tsk, damn it, what should I do now?”
“There’s a high chance I won’t be able to get my hands on Charlotte anymore, and she won’t be of any use to me.”
Timothy closed his eyes deeply, feeling anxious and helpless.
“No, the path with Charlotte won’t work anymore. I have to think of another way.”
“Charlotte, just you wait. Even without you, I can still make a comeback…”

Inside the meeting room.
Charlotte was holding a meeting with several executives as usual.
The vice president handed over a detailed report. “Ms. Lindsey, these implementation plans have already been launched in the market. We should see results by next week.”
Charlotte flipped through it carefully. “Mm, that’s fine.”

“Also, the company has negotiated with several celebrities to join us. However, the signing fees are still a bit high and have already exceeded the budget.”
“How much over budget?”
The vice president frowned. “It’s three times the previous budget, which isn’t very cost–effective.”
“Let me take a look.”
“Alright.”
The vice president handed the budget sheet to Charlotte.
Charlotte looked down at it; the budget was indeed far over the limit.
Moreover, the company had already invested several hundred million in the early stages, and now the monthly maintenance costs were ridiculously high.
To put it bluntly, the company was in a growth phase. It looked prosperous on the surface, but the expenditures far exceeded the income, and money was being burned at an alarming rate every day.
If they didn’t find a way to turn a profit soon, at this rate, they could lose billions within two years.
“…Alright, let me think about it first.” Charlotte frowned, feeling a bit agitated.
She never expected this.
She had taken too big a step all at once, and now it was getting hard to handle.

If things went wrong, it would be easy to drag the Lindsey family down with her.
“Alright, let’s move on to the next item on the agenda!”
“Ugh…” Charlotte couldn’t help but gag.
A rush of air surged from her stomach to her throat, and she couldn’t help but feel like vomiting again.
“Sorry, I need to use the restroom.”
After saying that, she hurriedly got up and ran to the restroom.
The executives looked at each other. “What’s wrong with Ms. Lindsey?”
“Is she feeling unwell?”
“…Ms. Lindsey was just dry heaving. Could she be pregnant?”
“Huh? Doesn’t Ms. Lindsey not have a boyfriend?”
“How could she not? Wasn’t that Timothy her boyfriend before?”
A female shareholder looked puzzled. “Didn’t they already break up?”
“Oh, young people break up all the time. It’s easy to break up and just as easy to get back together.”
“That’s true.”
“Stop gossiping. Let’s wait for Ms. Lindsey to come back and continue the meeting!”
A few of the executives couldn’t help but gossip and speculate.

“Ugh.” Charlotte entered the restroom, clutching the sink as she dry heaved.
Unfortunately, after all that, nothing came out.
“This is really bad. What should I do now?”
Charlotte washed her face, hesitating over whether or not to go to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy.
She didn’t want to have a child so soon.
Besides, the company was in a growth phase, and she simply couldn’t get away.
But if she really went through with it, she felt a bit reluctant.
“Sigh, what a headache!”
“Gregory is just too ‘potent.‘ Only three times and I’m already pregnant.”
She closed her eyes helplessly, secretly regretting not taking the morning–after pill.
Evening.
After a long, exhausting day, Charlotte returned home feeling downcast.
Kathy was already waiting for her to have dinner. “Lottie, go wash your hands and come eat.”
