Chapter 183 She's My Wife
Arthur settled next to Charlotte naturally, casting a cold glance at James. “I leave, and you're going to scold my
wife again?”
Wearing a stern expression, James replied, “Arthur, she’s my daughter. She's rude to me, so
s rude to me, so what's wrong withscolding her?”
“No, you can’t,” Arthur countered coolly. “She’s my wife. No one gets to scold her.”
James seethed with anger.
Charlotte looked at Arthur, surprised by his protectiveness. His profile was sharp, and his expression as icy as
ever, but there was an underlying arrogance in his demeanor. He had every right to be arrogant.
The room was thick with tension instantly.

Camille smoothed things over quickly. “They were just joking around. Arthur, why don’t you go ahead and order
the food?” She handed the menu to him.
Arthur looked at Charlotte, who was studying him in confusion. “What do you want to eat?” he asked.
Charlotte averted her gaze, took the menu, and ordered a bunch of her favorite dishes, saying, “That's all.”

The waiter took the menu and was about to leave when Camille said, “We haven't ordered yet!”
Arthur replied, “She’s ordered for you.” He turned to the waiter. “That'll be all.”
Camille felt embarrassed.
Charlotte had ordered dishes she loved, but the others didn’t like any of them!
However, after Arthur had just stood up to James, she felt too intimidated to voice her objections for fear of
being implicated.
Camille would just have to eat something else when she got home.
Sebastian watched the scene unfold silently, deep in thought.
When the food was served, Charlotte ignored everyone else and dug in happily.
Arthur’s phone rang. He glanced at it and said, “Enjoy your meal. | have something to take care of.”
He turned to Charlotte and affectionately ruffled her hair. “Letknow when you're done, and I'll send someone
to take you
home.”
Charlotte instinctively avoided his touch, still not accustomed to such intimacy. It made her uneasy.
Arthur noticed her dodge; his eyes grew colder, but he didn’t let it show.

Once he was gone, James scoffed and glared at Charlotte with deep discontent. “You're my daughter. Why is
there such a distance between us since your marriage? We are the best people in your life. You can’t be

Charlotte took a sip of her juice and replied, “Dad, just get to the point.”
James continued, “The land in the south of the city is up for tender. You need to talk to Arthur and persuade him
to cooperate with the Hardwick Group instead of going through the bidding process.”
Charlotte shook her head. “I can’t help you.”
James frowned. “What did you say?”
“I can’t help you.” Charlotte wiped her mouth. “I'm planning to divorce him. | can’t be involved in any business
dealings.”
“Don’t even think about it!” James shot back coldly. “You and Arthur are married, and you have a son. You'll be
together for life. Stop dreaming about divorce. Do you think it’s that easy?”
Charlotte replied, “As long as you don’t intervene, it will be easy. Besides, | don’t even remember the past. Both
he and Julius feel like strangers to me. Do you know how terrified | was when | woke up to find | had a husband
and a son?”
Camille frowned. “Are you still pretending to have amnesia in front of us?”
