Delete My Love for You novel Chapter 131

The Twitter wager exploded across the internet in an instant.

In every group chat, families were buzzing: “Go follow that Lottie girl! If she answers the question correctly, her followers get a $10,000 cash prize!”

“But wasn’t she accused of cheating her way through the last round? There’s no way she’ll get it right.”

“Who cares if she does or doesn’t? All we have to do is follow her—it doesn’t cost us a thing!”

By the end of the night, Charlotte’s Twitter following had skyrocketed from a meager dozen to over a hundred thousand.

Harrington Manor.

Darren stormed through the door, his face dark with anger. “Ms. Harrington, betting against Charlotte on Twitter? Really?”

Lena was sprawled in the massage chair, enjoying the attention of both a masseuse and an aesthetician. Darren’s outburst cut through her pampered tranquility.

She snorted. “Little brother, are you worried I’ll carve something into your ex-wife’s face?”

Darren’s tone brooked no argument. “Call off the bet and I’ll have you reinstated on the Board.”

The offer made Lena’s expression flicker. Returning to the Board? That was no small thing.

A few minutes later, the housekeeper relayed Darren’s words to Xena.

To protect Charlotte, Darren was willing to bring back Lena—a woman who had once been his rival for control over the Harrington family?

Xena felt a sharp pang of disbelief and anger.

When she saw Darren retreat into the study, she quickly followed, carrying a steaming mug of tea.

She set the cup gently on the desk, her voice tender. “Darren, please don’t be upset with your sister. I checked Twitter—Ms. Lawson provoked her first.”

“If just anyone can goad the Harrington heiress into a fight, what does that say about our family’s reputation? Lena had no choice but to respond.”

Darren’s silence made Xena’s nerves fray. “You seem awfully tense about this wager. You’re not worried about Charlotte, are you?”

His gaze darkened. “Xena, Charlotte is Noah’s biological mother. If anything happens to her, how will Noah face the world?”

“But Darren,” Xena edged closer, her voice trembling with wounded pride, “Charlotte’s been erased from all our records. She’s just Lottie now—she doesn’t even acknowledge Noah.”

“From now on, I’m Noah’s only mother. Isn’t that right?”

Why? Why do you keep protecting Charlotte?

I’m your Mrs. Harrington. Me. No one else.

She clenched her fists. She couldn’t let Charlotte off so easily. And right now, the best weapon was the hot-tempered Lena.

With a wicked smirk, Xena pulled out her phone and, using an anonymous Twitter account, sent two taunting messages to Lena’s official profile.

…

Meanwhile, in the study, Darren covered his face with his hands.

Charlotte’s words echoed relentlessly in his mind—“Is this what love for Xena looks like to you?”

He’d thought that marrying Xena would set everything right again.

He’d even planned to devote himself to her career, to help her reach the very top in just two years.

So why did everything Xena did make him feel so stifled?
