Chapter 42: You Must
Have Done It on
Purpose
Sebastian, aware of his place,
naturally didn’t dare ask more
questions and quickly left with his
men.
After locating Charlotte’s cell phone, they immediately rushed to the
abandoned warehouse.
At that moment, Charlotte was
pinned beneath a man much
stronger than her, with several other men eagerly waiting their turn nearby.
They had their way with plenty of women, but never had the chance to
sample the delights of a famous
actress.

“Darling, you’d better scream nice and loud. The more you scream, the happier I’ll be.”
The man laughed wantonly, tearing at Charlotte’s clothes with brutal force, heedless of the others watching.
A flimsy dress could hardly
withstand such violent ripping. Soon, only the areas Charlotte covered with her hands had a few scraps of cloth left.
Suddenly, the warehouse door was. broken open, and several figures clad in black from head to toe appeared, like wraiths descending in the night.
The kidnappers, interrupted at the height of their excitement, were naturally furious.
“Who are these blind fools, daring
to…”

Before he could finish, the black muzzles of guns were pressed to
their foreheads.
Sebastian glanced down at the nearly
naked Charlotte and tossed his own
coat over to her.
“Ms. Sterling, the boss sent us to
rescue you.”
Huddled in a ball, Charlotte’s eyes lit up upon hearing that name, as if hardly daring to believe it.
“You said… Mr. Alexander?”
Sebastian nodded and had his men
take the kidnappers away.
Charlotte’s fear turned to excitement
in an instant.
So whenever she was in danger,
Alexander would come to her rescue.
If she had known, she would have arranged her own kidnapping long

ago.
Her terror vanished, replaced by a giddy expression.
Sebastian shot her a glance, a flicker of suspicion in his eyes, but he said
nothing.
Just then, Evelyn, who had only now
learned of Charlotte’s mistaken
abduction, called immediately.
“Charlotte, I’m so sorry. I didn’t
expect you to swap clothes with Isabella…”
“I’m fine.”
Charlotte replied nonchalantly and
hung up.
Perhaps this turn of events was a blessing in disguise.
It was already dawn when they returned to Sterling Manor. The
entire Sterling family was gathered

in the hall, even Isabella had been ordered to stay by Edward and his wife.
Seeing Charlotte’s disheveled state, Eleanor nearly fainted.
Charlotte was the focus of half her
life!
Noticing Isabella sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened, Charlotte’s eyes instantly reddened.
It was all because of this damned
woman. She should have been the
one violated, not her!
She strode forward, hand raised to strike. The next second, Isabella suddenly moved, gripping her wrist tightly.
Compared to the pampered
Charlotte, Isabella was naturally
much stronger.

“This is all your fault. You must have done it on purpose. Why did you swap clothes with me?!”
Isabella’s lips curled, then she put on an innocent face.
“Charlotte, what exactly happened? Weren’t you the one who forced me to change clothes with you? And that wine spilled on your dress because you pushed me.”
Charlotte was speechless.
It really did seem like a coincidence.
She had pushed Isabella, and she had willingly swapped clothes. Moreover, there was no way this woman could have known about her and Evelyn’s plan.
Gritting her teeth, she could only swallow her anger.
“Charlotte, what’s going on? Do you

have any idea how worried your mother and I were all night?”
Edward reprimanded her sternly. He had indulged her in the past, but this daughter was getting more and more out of hand.
“Dad, Mom, I… I was kidnapped and nearly…”
With that, Charlotte threw herself into Eleanor’s arms, sobbing.
Eleanor immediately patted her back soothingly. “Do you know who did this?”
Charlotte looked up, eyes red, and shook her head.
“I don’t know either. You know I’m very well–liked and never offend
anyone.”
At this point, she turned to look at Isabella, a flicker in her eyes.

The next day, as soon as Isabella came downstairs, she saw Edward and his wife sitting there with solemn expressions, Charlotte obediently beside them.
After a night’s rest, her complexion
had returned to normal.
Even Isabella was a bit surprised. Most girls wouldn’t recover from such a fright for three to five days.
There was a hint of anticipation in Charlotte’s eyes, causing Isabella to
furrow her brow.
“Isabella, come here.”
Edward barked. Isabella walked over
obediently.
“Dad…”
“How dare you still call me dad? How did we Sterlings end up adopting such an ungrateful wretch!”

Isabella was taken aback, inwardly
scoffing.
The way the Sterlings treated her, and now they had the gall to call her ungrateful? No need to guess, Charlotte must be up to something
again.
Sure enough, the next second, Charlotte stood up, looking at Isabella with a pitiful expression, gently biting her lip.
“Isabella, I never meant to oppose you before, and never wanted to harm you. How could you…”
Isabella was baffled, feeling a bit sickened by Charlotte’s affected
demeanor.
“Charlotte, what are you trying to pull now?”
“Isabella, do you still refuse to admit
it even now?”

Isabella snorted coldly. “My
conscience is clear. What should I
admit to?”
At this moment, a servant suddenly stepped forward, tugging on
Isabella’s sleeve.
“Miss, just confess. I overheard you on the phone in your room the other day, saying you were going to hire someone to kidnap Ms. Sterling.”
Isabella was stunned for a moment,
eyeing the servant suspiciously, then
understood.
She had slept soundly through the night, but clearly someone had been
busy.
The truth no longer mattered.
Someone simply wanted her dead.
“You scoundrel, what do you have to say for yourself now!”

Edward angrily slapped her face, a
searing pain.
Isabella knew that even if she
explained, they wouldn’t listen. The Sterlings had long wanted to be rid of her and just needed an excuse.
Whether it was true or not was utterly irrelevant.
“Since you’ve all decided I
kidnapped her, then call the police.
The truth will come out.”
“Isabella, I’m sure you’re not foolish
enough to hire kidnappers with your real identity. Even if those men are interrogated, I doubt they’ll reveal anything.”
Charlotte’s voice was very soft, still
carrying an air of extreme
grievance.
As soon as she finished speaking, the
butler hurried in to announce:

her in person today.
