Charlotte couldn’t help but let out a mocking smile. “When has he ever actually pulled off one of his threats?”
Her voice was bold, almost reckless.
“It’s about time we wrapped up things with the Isle of Veil for good.”
Anthony reached out, gently running his fingers through her hair. “If G5 really does have the antidote, it has to be the original formula.”
That meant there was hope for Newell.
It should have been good news, but just thinking about Newell always hanging around Lottie left Anthony feeling a little sour.
“I was way too soft before.”
Charlotte leaned into Anthony’s arms, absentmindedly playing with his fingers. Her eyes turned cold. “I cared too much because of my father.”
The Isle of Veil was her father’s home.
And Allanson—he was basically her grandfather.
That was why, even after everything, she could never bring herself to go too far.
But she never expected the Hawk family to keep pushing her buttons. She tried to be nice, and they just kept taking advantage.
They’d crossed her line more than once.
Charlotte shifted in Anthony’s embrace, her voice calm and icy, every word deliberate. “The Hawk Family needs to go bankrupt.”
She wanted them ruined, for good.
“All my people are yours to command.”
Anthony would always back her up, no matter what she decided.
His eyes dropped to her stomach. He hesitated, wanting to say something, but in the end, he stayed quiet.
She didn’t want to owe Newell too much and was doing everything she could to make it right.
If Anthony tried to stop her…
Forget it.
He’d just have to stay close and keep watch.
After all, there was no way to hold her back.
