Chapter 163
Charlotte’s face fell as she rushed to support James. “What are you doing?”
What humiliation – her fiancé knocking on another woman’s door right in front of her.
“Not leaving.” James reeked of alcohol, his face flushed, stubbornly refusing to move.
“This is Miss Sanders’s home. Please
lease come to
e to your se
senses,” Charlotte’s voice grew heavy.

But being a woman, she struggled with James’s height and weight as he clung to Sarah’s door.
Soon Charlotte’s arms gave out from exhaustion, and James crashed to the floor, still unconscious, muttering, “Sarah, open the door! Open up!”
“James! Look at me – do you l
know who I am?” Charlotte’s voice rose as she stared at him coldly.
Clearly, there was no reasoning with a drunk man.
James ignored her completely, just banging on the door and calling Sarah’s name.
Charlotte remembered similar scenes from their past – how many times had James called her name in drunken desperation? He used to call out for her during those sleepless nights.
She stared intently at Sarah’s door, her expression growing complex. Could he really have fallen for Sarah?
No! Absolutely not! She would never allow it!
James had divorced Sarah for her it had satisfied her vanity. How could he want Sarah back so soon?
–
The door creaked open. Sarah appeared, irritated. “Just take him away. Stop this constant knocking or I’ll call the police again.”
“What have you done to him?” Charlotte demanded, her face grave.
Sarah looked puzzled. “What do you mean? He shows up drunk at my door making a scene, and I’m doing you a favor by calling you instead of the police. How is this my fault?”
She was just tired of the Chancers always bothering her.
“Sarah, you’re divorced. He gave you eight million. Isn’t that enough? Now that you’ve caught yourself a Reynolds, stop trying to seduce my husband!” Charlotte frowned.
Sarah laughed coldly. “Are you that insecure? You were the one mocking me from James’s car back then- now you’re the one who’s afraid?”
How ironic those words seemed now!
“Don’t play dumb. James never had feelings for you before – why would he suddenly be so obsessed? You must have done something! I’m warning you, we’re getting married soon. Don’t destroy our family,” Charlotte clenched her fists.

Sarah let out a short laugh – such ridiculous accusations.
“What’s so funny?”
“Isn’t it amusing? ‘Don’t destroy our family? That’s rich coming from you. Can’t you see who’s pursuing whom? Instead of blaming me, why don’t you ask him what’s wrong with him? If he’s sick, get him treatment but stop harassing me!” Sarah gave Charlotte a cold look before turning back inside.
Before closing the door, she added, “And no more knocking, or I’ll report you for disturbing the peace. You know I’ll do it.”
SLAM! The door shut forcefully, and Sarah even closed the peephole.
She was sick of James’s occasional appearances. He’d been the heartless one during their divorce why act so devoted now?
