The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 886

Richard approached Charlotte with a serious look on his handsome face, "You know, Charlotte, maybe it's not such a bad thing that you and Lysander have called off your engagement."

Hearing Richard's words, Charlotte's temper, already at boiling point, threatened to explode. She glared at Richard, "What do you mean by that, Richard? Did I offend you? You first publicly confirmed that the charm bracelet Amelia showed was real, and now this? How does my broken engagement with Lysander benefit you?"

Charlotte was practically shrieking. Her anger was so intense it made her whole body tremble and the veins on her neck bulge.

"Easy there, Charlotte," Richard said as he raised his hands in a calming gesture, "Your broken engagement doesn't benefit me, but it might be a good thing for you."

"Excuse me?" Charlotte was even angrier now.

"Think about it," Richard explained. "Lysander and Thalassa have four kids together, and Thalassa spends a lot of time at Lysander's place. Their relationship is more than just complicated. Messing up with Lysander will only waste your time and youth. It's better to move on and pursue your own happiness."

"I'll waste my time if I want to. That's none of your business!" Charlotte retorted. Her fists clenched, her breaths came in short, and her face was red with anger.

Richard took a deep breath, struggling to keep his impatience and frustration in check. He managed a smile, "I can't tell you what to do, Charlotte, but it's a shame to see you pining over him. You're beautiful, accomplished, and the lady of the prestigious Ravensong family. You deserve a better future."

Richard was genuinely concerned for Charlotte, hence his candid advice about which life path she should choose for her own interests.

They had grown up together, and the Dravens had a close rapport with the Ravensongs. They had been friends since childhood, going to school together, and occasionally hanging out. He hated to see her stuck on Lysander. He knew it wasn't doing her any good.
