He arrived, tired and hurried.
It was obvious he had just finished something and rushed over.
I quickly adjusted my hair to cover my swollen left cheek.
It wasn’t because I was scared.
It was because I didn’t want the Clark family to know how much Dominic valued me.
If they found out, they would definitely ask Dominic to help with the company’s public listing
They might even want him to help Jaxon start his own business afterward.
Dominic didn’t owe them anything, and neither did I.
Cutting ties like this was just fine.
I waved my hand, signaling Dominic to stop. When the car came to a halt, I quickly opened
the door and got in.
“Honey, let’s go,” I said, fastening my seatbelt.
Dominic seemed confused.
But he didn’t ask any more questions. He started the car right away.
As the convoy started moving. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw Madison standing on
the side of the road, staring at us in shock as we drove off.
She was probably stunned that Dominic let me sit in the front seat.
That was the seat she had dreamed of sitting in during her past life. Dominic had always
refused to let her sit there, even though he was willing to let other women take her spot.
Madison had cried to Sarah about this countless times.
She had been married to Dominic for ten years, and he never once gave her a second
glance. But now, I, who had a bad relationship with him, was sitting in the front seat.
Madison must have gone crazy. She immediately texted me: [Charlotte, what did you say to Dominic? Why is he listening to you?]
I thought, “Not only does Dominic listen to me, but he’s also not as heartless as he was in the
past. Plus, Jaxon won’t be successful either. That’s the real twist! She thought that by marrying Jaxon first in this life, she’d live a life of glory and luxury?”
I tapped my fingers.
I deleted Madison’s contact, as well as everyone else’s.
From that moment on, I had no further ties to the Clark family.
“Baby, did something happen?” Dominic asked, noticing I had been staring at my phone without saying anything.
I smiled, “it’s nothing.”
“No, something’s wrong.” Dominic immediately pulled over, wrapped me in his arms, and said, “Your parents must be upset that I didn’t come with you. I’m sorry. I’ll explain it to them nyit
away….
He was about to make a phone call.
away..
He was about to make a phone call.
“Honey, I’m hungry.”
“Uh??”
Dominic froze, glancing at the time. It was already 4:30 p.m. “You’re hungry at this hour?
Didn’t you have lunch?”
I didn’t hide anything, “Not just lunch, they didn’t even let me inside the house.”
“What!!”
Dominic was furious. Then his gaze fell on my swollen cheek. “What happened? Who hit you?
Tell mel”
“One slap for cutting ties. Not a bad deal,” I said with a smile, taking his phone and deleting all
the Clark family contacts.
Dominic’s face was filled with concern.
He kissed my forehead and said, “Baby, I’m so sorry. This will never happen again. I’ll make
sure you never get hurt again.”
I nodded hard, pointing at a restaurant outside. “They have crawfish!”
Dominic quickly parked and got out.
The spicy crawfish was a real treat. After devouring two plates, and as I told him everything. that happened with the Clark family, all the frustration in my heart seemed to vanish.
“Baby, walt here. I’ll make a quick call.” Seeing my face light up with a smile again, Dominic
breathed a sigh of relief.
I knew he wanted to vent for me, so I said, “Honey, don’t use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
You don’t need to step in yet. Let me handle it. If I can’t, then you can get involved.”
Madison’s troubles were coming soon,
In the past life, when Jaxon’s live–streaming business was just getting started, Thomas immediately handed me the mess of the Clark Group.
He said it was for me to inherit the company. In reality, the Clark Group was a total disaster.
The warehouse was piled high with defective, near–expiry products, and there was still a
massive debt that needed to be paid.
The Clark Group looked glamorous on the outside, but internally, it was deeply in the red. Madison’s wedding gift wasn’t even close to covering the gap.
She was convinced that Jaxon would become a huge hit. She also wanted to destroy me in
front of Thomas and Sarah, so she would surely try every way possible to raise money to keep
the Clark Group running.
Jaxon’s personality was like this. One could offer him benefits, but if they wanted him to give
them back, he couldn’t handle it.
As expected, less than a month later, the two of them were already fighting.
At first, it was at home.

Before I know it, thanksgiving orrived
Thomas, who had once told me to get out of the Clerk formaty or old daughter like me, called bominio from a new number
He dicted like he client know anything about us blocking men
“Dominic, hey, Thanksgiving is corning up. When will you and Charlotte AVCO WE G
want to eat? I have my wife prepare it in advan
He spoke like we were definitely coming back
I didn’t need to guess. He definitely wanted something from bominie…
Dominic looked at me, asking without a word.
I immediately shook my head to refuse
It was only natural to visit my parents for Thanksgiving, but i’d already been kicked out of the Clark family. I wasn’t their daughter anymore, so why should I go back?
Dominic immediately apologized, “Sorry, I’m tied up. I won’t have time even by the end of the
year.”
Thomas seemed like he wanted to say something more, but the call had already ended Before I know it, it was Christmas Eve.
The employees at the Clark Group said that Madison had slapped Javon in public, criticizing him as a useless man living off her.
Jaxon got so mad that he didn’t come home that night, but Madison shamelessly went to look for him.
Jaxon cared about his image.
In front of Madison, he flirted with other female streamers during a live broadcast, making Madison furious.
The two of them fought again, and Jaxon’s flirting became even worse.
His inappropriate behavior quickly caught the attention of the platform.
They banned him and gave him a warning.
Jaxon didn’t care. He just changed accounts and kopt going, even escalating from flirting to harassment while drunk.
A few small streamers filed a joint complaint against him.
He was terrified, apologizing and begging Madison to forgive him, but Madison’s way of handling things was to photoshop and falsely accuse others of harassing Jaxon.
The situation grew worse.

The situation grew worse.
Madison even felt proud of herself, thinking that being controversial was still good publicity. She thought Jaxon was on the verge of becoming famous in the streaming world.
She brought all of the Clark Group’s products into the livestream for Jaxon to promote. Jaxon was already a show–off.
The products were subpar, to begin with, and soon they were reported.
When the staff came to ask Jaxon to cooperate with an inspection, Madison pointed at them and shouted, “You blind fools, my husband is about to explode! When that happens, you’ll have to follow his mood and do as he says. You even dare to suspend his account and shut down his livestream? You really don’t want to make money, do you? Hurry up and lift the suspension!”
Madison, acting all high and mighty, demanded that they publicly apologize and compensate for all the losses during the account suspension. The compensation was in the millions of dollars. The staff didn’t leave and had no choice but to call the police.
Even when they were at the police station, Madison still firmly believed that Jaxon would become super famous, maintaining a proud attitude like some wealthy, influential lady. She carried herself like she was the queen of the world.
She was kept in the station for three days. On the fourth day, Madison suddenly had a thought and said to Thomas, “Find Charlotte! She must be the one causing trouble behind the scenes!”
I thought, “Really? In the past, Jaxon’s rise to fame was something I had worked really hard. for. She doesn’t want to put in any effort at all. She just wants to pick up the easy stuff. When that doesn’t work, is it my fault? What kind of thinking is that? It was time to teach her a lesson.”
My third brother, Brandon Marshall, was a famous lawyer in the country, so I pulled out the screenshots of Madison falsely accusing Dominic of choating with other women. I filed a lawsuit against her along with the small streamers she had falsely accused.
I didn’t sue her for anything else. I only sued her for intentional defamation. I didn’t want compensation, just an apology from her.
With the evidence and witnesses already in place and with Brandon handling the case personally, Madison’s guilt for defamation was soon confirmed.
On the same day she had to publicly apologize, I was trying on wedding dresses at a bridal store. We were just a street apart.
She had to hold a press conference, bow, and apologize publicly. Meanwhile, Dominic was personally doing my makeup and fixing my hair, his eyes filled with affection that couldn’t be hidden. This hit Madison hard.
“No way! Absolutely not!!”

Madison suddenly rushed out of the crowd, quickly crossing the street to the bridal store.
“Dominic, what do you think you’re doing?” Madison said in a tone that made it sound like she thought Dominic was cheating behind her back.

I thought, “Is she upset that the man she couldn’t win over for ten years in the past now loves me so quickly? Can’t she accept it?”
I leaned against Dominic, silently muttering, “Pathetic.”
