He Watched Me Shine Without Him novel Chapter 99

Ryan tossed the bracelet at her. "This thing is cheap. It’s not good enough for my Rose."

Charlotte’s face paled.

Did Rose tell him?Didshe actually tell Ryan about our meeting?

Right in front of Charlotte, Ryan turned to Daniel and said, "Go to Spinic Jewelry. I want every limited-edition piece from every season reserved. I’ll buy them all for Rose— so no one else gets the idea that she should be wearing cheap jewelry like this."

Charlotte wore the matching necklace. Hearing Ryan call it cheap—knowing he was insulting her—cut deep.

Now, in Ryan’s eyes, Rose was better than her. And that made Charlotte’s blood boil.

But she was Rose’s stepmother. How could she accept being humiliated by her own daughter-in-law?

"Ryan," Charlotte said through gritted teeth, "if you don’t like this bracelet, I’ll buy Rose a different one next time. There’s no need to be so harsh."

Ryan glared at her, his voice cold as ice. "Don’t bother. Anything you’ve touched disgusts me. And one more thing—stay away from my wife."

Charlotte had strutted into Mr. Clarke’s office earlier that morning, acting like she owned the place. The employees had been buzzing about her: a husband who adored her, a powerful stepson—Charlotte seemed to have it all.

But the next moment, they watched as she was thrown out.

And not just her. The chair she’d sat in, the coffee cup she’d used, even the desk she’d touched—Daniel and a team of employees dragged it all out into the courtyard.

There, in full view of the entire building, the items were set on fire.

The flames lit up Charlotte’s face, bright red with humiliation.

The whole building watched the scene unfold. The whispers of envy turned quickly to pity.

Charlotte looked utterly humiliated, coffee stains dripping down her face.

Daniel led the cleanup crew, tossing every item she’d touched into the flames.

Even Charlotte—who rarely lost her composure—was left in tears by the public humiliation.

When Noah heard what had happened, he stormed down to the courtyard and confronted Ryan. "Ryan, this was too much!"
