What had he been doing at that moment?
He saw himself sitting inside, happily talking on the phone. The sight was horrifying he couldn’t bear to watch couldn’t bear to remember, bear to contemplate it. If only he could turn back time to that day. He would never be such a jerk again. He would beg for her forgiveness she was the only one he truly loved.
Rain fell on his face, but what rolled down was hot.
Ronald stood behind him holding an umbrella, but the rain was too heavy to block completely
His boss’s private life wasn’t his place to manage or judge, but today’s outcome…seemed inevitable, given how perceptive Mrs. Wood was

Ronald agreed to everything Issac said.
But items bought back weren’t the originals, and wedding photos reduced to ashes, even if recreated, would only be replacements. The original sentiment was gone. Would she be moved by this?

He answered slowly.
“Mr. Wood, we’ve tracked your wife. Yesterday afternoon, she used her credit card at a shopping mall in Lisbon, Portugal.”

“Lishun?” Issac frowned. “That’s impossible. I found in record of her boarding any flight.
“We’ve confirmed her departure record. She traveled on a Godfrream 1650 private jet, but the aircraft owner’s information is restricted“:
Issac’s face darkened dramatically.

The next morning.
After breakfast, Charlotte returned to her reums and changed into a business casual outfit with flat leather shoes. She placed a voice recorder in her bag and left the hotel
As Zarek was about to depart for the summit, he noticed Charlotte’s abse
“Where is she?” he asked.
Oh, she went to the factory. She noticed souse inconsistencies in the data and wanted to check it out,” Rex explained, deliberately vague in case in turned out to be nothing.
She’s not ditching work because she’s upset, is she?” Zarek asked suspiciously
He remembered home forcefully he’d yanked her the previous night.
“No, no, she really went to the factory. The issue isn’t major, but it’s not insignificant either. We wanted to tell you, but your schedule today is packed. so she decided to investigate herself,” Rex clarified.
Zarek nodded, not asking further questions
Charlotte took a taxi to the factory.
On the way, she took some time to admire the scenery.
Upon reaching the Sines factory, she identified herself, and the plant manager, along with administrative and financial staff, immediately came out to greet her. The manager was a man of about 40, average height, slightly overweight, with dark skin. He greeted her with a fawning smile.
They exchanged brief introductions.

“Miss Whitmore is more beautiful than a beauty pageant winner. That’s hardly ‘making do,” he flattered.

After this pleasant if somewhat insincere exchange, Mateus led Charlotte on a tour of the management
offices, workshop floors, and cafeteria
Charlotte didn’t rush, asking production questions while occasionally taking photos with her phone, explaining she’d show them to the CEO.
Mateus nodded in understanding.
By binchtime, after completing the tour, Charlotte expressed interest in eating in the cafeteria
She Lined up with the employees, got her meal, and deliberately sat with three female workers.
