Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 694

The worry and fear on Easter's face were real. Charlotte could tell these weren't just empty words.

Since Jonathan had offered Easter this deal, and she had indeed used the money to pay off over half of her father's debt, it meant their "transactional" relationship still existed.

If she wanted to leave, she could just go. After all, her "purpose" of getting close to Evander had been achieved. The outsiders believed it. She was useless to Jonathan.

But she was asking for Charlotte's help.

It seemed Jonathan hadn't let her go, and she was afraid that leaving on her own would bring his "retaliation."

A person with no power or background—it was natural to be afraid.

"Miss Sterling, I know it's asking a lot for you to help me with this, but I really have no other choice. Lately, whenever he gets drunk, he comes to my place. I want to move out of the apartment, but his men are downstairs. I know he sees me as your substitute. But I don't want that. His men are waiting outside right now. Even if I ran, I'd probably be caught and brought back pretty quickly."

From that night on, Easter had sensed that Jonathan never intended to let her go.

As naive and innocent as she was, a man's intentions weren't lost on her.

He just wanted a substitute, a mistress.

But that wasn't what she wanted.

Charlotte had never imagined Jonathan had become so deranged. Her brow furrowed. After a long moment, "Since you've spoken up and are willing to tell me the truth, of course, I'll help you with this. But you might have to endure a little longer, because now isn't the best time. It'll have to be on the day he gets engaged to Genevieve."

Easter's face broke into a smile upon hearing her answer. "Just so long as I can leave."

...

After Easter left the café, the men waiting outside approached her and handed her a phone, indicating she should answer.
