Fedelia was beside herself. “Stella is just doing this to get revenge on us!”

Mahoney stood there, completely stunned, just staring as Stella and Charlotte walked away like nothing even mattered.

Stella had really cut ties with the family this time. Now, Mahoney had more to worry about than just Letty getting expelled. Charlotte’s words echoed in his mind. “You won’t be able to handle the consequences.”

If she actually got The Gates Family to go after The Adams Family… Just imagining it sent a chill down Mahoney’s spine.

At The Cabinda University, Letty had broken all sorts of rules. She cheated in a competition and plagiarized her thesis. After a full investigation, the school decided to expel her. The news was everywhere in no time. It hit the university forum, then shot up on Twitter.

The scandal exploded. The Department of Education even sent out an official notice. Now every graduate thesis was getting rechecked.

People online lost it. Letty was getting trashed in the comments, insult after insult. Her name was basically ruined forever.

When she got the expulsion notice, Letty lost it. She trashed the house, smashing anything she could get her hands on, her eyes wild with anger. “This is all Charlotte’s fault!”

If it hadn’t been for Charlotte, she’d already be part of the International Medical Alliance, rich and respected. Now, though, her medical career was over before it even started. She’d never get another chance.

“It’s all because of her!”

She scrolled through page after page of news, all of it praising Charlotte. Then she saw the articles about herself, filled with nothing but hate. Her hands curled into fists. Something ugly and dangerous flickered in her eyes.

Letty had nothing left. If she was going down, she’d make sure Charlotte suffered too.

She wanted her gone. For good.

After class, Charlotte slung her bag over her shoulder and ducked into the car.

“Charlotte.”

Jackson and Adonis both called her name at the same time.

She took off her cap and sat down Adonis sounded almost giddy

With what they already had, that was more than enough to keep things running for a long time.

Charlotte raised her head, her eyebrows pinched together. “He’s been acting weird lately.”

Was he getting old? Losing it a little?

Jackson and Adonis swapped a glance. “What do you mean?”

Charlotte pressed her lips together grabbed her phone, and pulled up Newell’s profile. She took him off her block list then fired off a few quick messages.

[I’m not coming back to DM for now.]

[If you want me to help, a billion isn’t enough.]

She hesitated, then added another message.

[Is something up with you lately? I mean, are you okay… mentally?]

When Newell read the messages, his face twisted. He almost threw his phone across the room.

So when Anthony gave Charlotte money, it was “true love,” but if he did it, it meant he was crazy?

“Get my money back,” Newell snapped, stabbing at the keyboard.

His assistant bit his lip, sounding nervous. “The money’s already been withdrawn by Nine.”

“What are you so scared of?”

“Newell, maybe you should go yourself?”

Newell shot him a cold look.

Even he wouldn’t dare mess with Charlotte.
