She jumped in fright, but forced herself to answer.
“Hello.”
On the other end, Timothy’s sinister and smug voice came through. “Charlotte, did you receive everything?”
Charlotte felt a pang in her chest and tried to steady herself. “Timothy, what do you mean?”
Timothy sneered. “Do you really need to ask? Do you really not know what I mean?”
”
What exactly do you want?”
“Heh. What you have is just a small part of the copies. So? Pretty shocking, isn’t it?”
“Charlotte frowned, clutching the phone tightly.
Timothy spoke slowly and deliberately: “Charlotte, if I send all the evidence and letters of accusation to the Freyburn Prosecutor’s Office, what do you think will happen to your father?”
Charlotte gasped, her back pressed tightly against the cold leather seat, a metallic taste rising in her throat.
Timothy’s voice was like a poisoned silk thread, winding around her neck through the phone line: “Tell me, if this evidence were exposed, your father’s reputation in his later years… wouldn’t it be shattered to pieces?”

“He’d probably spend the rest of his life in prison, wouldn’t he?”
“Charlotte froze, as if plunged into an icy abyss.
If her father had really done those things.
Once exposed, not only would her father be utterly disgraced, but the entire Lindsey family would likely be doomed.
However.
She believed in her father’s character and principles.
“Timothy, you don’t need to scare me with a set of fabricated evidence. I know exactly what kind of person my father is.
“Heaven’s net is vast and wide, but nothing escapes it. If my father had really broken the law, he couldn’t have retired with honor in his last life.” Charlotte tried her best to steady her emotions, her voice sounding calmer than she felt.
Timothy let out a sinister, mocking laugh: “That’s because he was my father–in–law in my previous life. Of course I didn’t want him to go down.”
“But now he’s not my father–in–law anymore, so why should I make things easy for you?”
A sharp pain stabbed at Charlotte’s heart. She took the opportunity to press the record button. “Timothy, framing someone is a criminal offense.”
“Heh, clever.” Timothy’s tone turned menacing. “But do you really think the Freyburn Prosecutor’s Office will care about what’s real or fake when investigating? As soon as public opinion starts to boil, your mother’s company’s stock price will plummet instantly. As for you…

He deliberately ‘dragged out the last syllable, his voice full of malice and smugness.
Charlotte felt a lump in her chest and didn’t want to beat around the bush. “What exactly do you mean? Just say it!”
Even though she believed her father would never break the law.
But if someone wants to frame you, they’ll always find a reason.
Timothy had made his fortune in the internet industry in his previous life, so he naturally knew best how to manipulate public opinion.
When the time came, twisting the truth and stirring up trouble would indeed be a headache.
Timothy let out a cold, vicious, and angry laugh. “Heh, you really won’t cry until you see the coffin!”
“Now that you’ve seen the evidence, are you finally scared?”
Charlotte exhaled heavily, her tone icy. “Just say it–what do you want?”
It wasn’t that she was afraid of him.
She just wanted to know what he really intended to do.
Timothy’s voice suddenly grew heavier. “What do I want? Don’t you already know?”
“I don’t know.”
Timothy said, “Charlotte, stop pretending to be confused when you know exactly what’s going on. I’ve told you before: as long as you come

back to me, everything will be fine.”
“I can even swear to you that I’ll love you well. Stop playing mind games with me–you can’t win.”
Hearing this, Charlotte felt even more contempt and hatred. “So, you want to use this to force me to give in?”
