When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1695 Elliot Tries To Help

Sven's curiosity piqued. "What about her?*

Elliest leaned in with a grin. "She's really something, you know. As a girl, he's not just cure, but also tough when she needs to be. A lot of men find that kind of strength appealing

He said this deliberately, knowing it would provoke a reaction.

Sven's grip on the wheel tightened, his driving fluctuating between quick and slow as a flash of jealousy crossed his mind. "Is that so?" he asked.

"Of course, when she and my mom were working outside, Charlotte had a lot of suitors. Elliot said, resting his chin on his hand. "Compared to her. Mr. Sven, you really need to step up your game. With that poker face of yours, girls are too intimidated to approach you. Aren't you getting on in years? Don't your parents pressure you to get married?*

The mention of his parents hit a nerve in Sven's chest.

Before Elliot could say more, Sven quickly cut him off. "Did you finish the

homework assigned by your teacher last night? If not, make sure to complete it as soon as possible.

Elliot had planned to keep teasing, but hearing the mention of homework made him panic. Without another word, he scrambled to pull out his books and start working on it in the car.

After dropping Elliot off at kindergarten, Sven found himself lost in thought as he made his way home. The events of the previous night and Elliot's teasing replayed in his mind. In the past, he never felt the need to compare himself to other men. But now, he couldn't help but wonder-between him, Eric, and Charlotte's past suitors, who was truly the better choice?

Absorbed in these thoughts, Sven found himself driving without thinking, his hands steering the car toward Jamieson Group. As he parked outside the company, he remained in the car, silently observing, thinking of approaching Charlotte during her break to talk things through.

Just then, Sven's attention was drawn to a car parked in a secluded corner. His professional instincts immediately kicked in, and he observed it carefully. Moments later, two figures stepped out-Cassandra and her father, Ralph.

The pair appeared to be deep in conversation, though the content of their exchange was unclear. Shortly after, another car pulled up, and Miranda and her father-in-law, Robert, emerged.

After a brief round of pleasantries, all four entered the same vehicle together. Sven's suspicions deepened. Certain they were up to something questionable, he got into his car and discreetly tailed them.

The group eventually arrived at a hotel, and Sven followed them inside, taking a seat in the private room adjacent to theirs.

After Cassandra and Robert met, they wasted no time plotting how to sideline Cecilia, with the ultimate goal of transferring all of the Jamieson family's assets solely to Cassandra.

Seizing an opportunity as the waiter served their dishes, Sven discreetly placed a listening device in a hidden spot.

confident he had secured the evidence, Sven headed straight to Jamieson Group to find Cecilia.

As soon as Charlotte spotted him approaching, she quickly ducked into the ladies' restroom, avoiding him before he could even say a word.

Sven noticed her evasion but said nothing, heading directly to Cecilia's office.

"Ms. Smith," he began, handing her a recording device. "I ran into Cassandra and Miranda today. This contains their conversation. They're planning to undermine Jamieson Group-and you."noveldrama

Caught off guard, Cecilia quickly grabbed the device and plugged it into her computer. "Thank you."

Sven didn't leave immediately. His gaze shifted toward the restroom before he casually said, “I think I'll wait for her here."

Cecilia shrugged, allowing him to do as he wished. "Suit yourself.”

Sven settled onto the couch, waiting patiently for Charlotte to emerge. Ten minutes passed, then thirty, yet Charlotte, who had gone into the restroom, was still nowhere to be seen. Sven frowned slightly, puzzled. Why is she taking so Jong?

Meanwhile, Charlotte was practically beside herself with frustration. She peeked at the time and clenched her fists. Why hasn't he left yet? I don't want to stay here anymore.
