"Actually, I had a backup plan."
"Really? What disadvantage?"
Leandro said, returning to the car.
He sat in the car, the door wide open, looking at Charlotte, "Come over."
Charlotte had no choice but to walk over. She was wearing a little dress that day, which dragged a bit as she walked, so she could only lift the hem and move forward.
As soon as she settled into the car, Charlotte smelled the familiar scent of wood.
She subconsciously lifted her head, and glanced at the man beside her, only to find that he was looking at her.
Those dark pupils were staring at her: "Tell me about your backup plan."
The air conditioning was on in the car, and Charlotte felt much less hot.
She pointed to Caroline not far away: "Actually, I had arranged for someone to notify the overall planner of this event, Gabriella. The call that Caroline is taking now should be Gabriella apologizing."
At first, Charlotte found it a bit difficul
"Perhaps this wasn't my merit, it was Lottie's ability."Caroline didn't catch on immediately, thinking that Leandro was being modest: "Charlotte is certainly talented, but she's just too low-key! Oh, it's not always a good thing for capable people to be too low-key, as it invites all sorts of people to take advantage of them."Caroline was simply upset that Charlotte had been bullied. Once she started talking, she couldn't stop. However, she was self-aware enough to ask, "Mr. Romero, am I talking too much? I mean no harm. I just feel sorry for Charlotte.""I also felt sorry for my wife. Miss Xia, if you encounter such situations in the future, you can directly contact my secretary to handle it.""Is it okay? Would this be too much of a disturbance for you?""Do not disturb."Leandro directly handed a business card of Melvin to Caroline: "This is my secretary's business card."Caroline was taken aback, glancing at Charlotte, "I can't
Before Charlotte could react, she was already being led away by Leandro.The car was parked right behind the two of them. Upon seeing Leandro, Gabriella had already made up her mind.They did so much, all in an effort to secure more donations for the organization.Leandro had secured a steady stream of donation funds for their "Melodious Music" organization, it was a surefire win.Moreover, Charlotte's connections and influence were not to be underestimated. If Charlotte was really let go today, the news could be a big deal or a small one, depending on how Leandro presented it to the outside world.At that time, Leandro's attitude clearly indicated that he wanted to demand an explanation from Charlotte.Gabriella made a quick decision, immediately asking her assistant to find the person in charge of the dressing room. She also quickly stepped forward: "Mr. Romero, Ms. Bernard, could you give us another chance? I've already asked my assistant
"Mr. Romero!"Seeing Leandro's face visibly cool, Gabriella quickly spoke up, "Even if we were willing to replace someone, there's simply not enough time. Tiffany is the opening act. If we replace her now, we won't be able to find a replacement in time..."Before Gabriella could finish her words, her assistant hurriedly led the staff in charge of the makeup room over, and whispered in Gabriella's ear, "Ms. Harrington, Bianca Koch's agent just contacted us, asking if we are doing a charity performance today. Bianca happens to be in Aelmere..."Gabriella was such a smart person that she guessed who was behind this matter just by hearing the first half of the sentence from her assistant.For such a large performance, even if it was a charity show, replacing someone at the last minute was not a simple matter.Moreover, the most significant guests of today's performance were none other than Tiffany and Charlotte. Therefore, she let Tiffany open the show
Actually, it was not surprising why Gabriella initially wanted to downplay everything. The scale of today's charity performance was indeed very large, and the stage setting was comparable to the S-level competition stages that Charlotte had participated in.Suddenly changing from the finale to the opening act, Charlotte was quite nervous as she stood backstage preparing to go on.Charlotte performed a revised piano piece called "World of Us" today, accompanied by a dance troupe composed of deaf-mute people, interpreting the world of the deaf. With the touching piano sound, although not intense, it was very moving, absolutely a feast for the ears.After the curtain call, Charlotte subconsciously glanced down at the stage.When she just got on stage, she saw Leandro at first glance. The man was sitting in the middle of a row of seats, his outstanding features and unique temperament stood out like a crane among chickens, and she spotted him immediately.
When Leandro said this, he was standing sideways, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the heat of his breath hit Charlotte's face.In the dim light, Charlotte's face gradually turned red, and her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.She closed her eyes and silently recited two phrases in her mind: Hold on! Hold on!Charlotte pinched her own hand, waking herself up a bit: "Thank you."This was sincerely and genuinely said by Charlotte.She knew that Leandro's appearance here today was merely to support her. Their plastic marital relationship required Leandro to act like a loving husband to her because of today's events, so he could help her out.Charlotte was certainly grateful, but she was also very clear-headed, knowing that this was just Leandro wanting to help her.People just wanted to help her, but she couldn't lust after their bodies. Although this man's body was indeed quite attractive...Realizing what she was thinking,
"Was it necessary?"Was she really that unlucky?No sooner had Charlotte finished speaking than she saw Leandro lean over, startling her, "Mr. Romero, you--"Before the sentence was finished, the person was directly picked up by Leandro.She instinctively struggled, but the man didn't seem to mind. He held her firmly and walked out, saying as he went, "There are so many people here, if you make a bigger scene, we'll be the center of attention."This sentence seemed like a freezing spell, upon hearing it, Charlotte was completely petrified.In fact, Leandro had already attracted attention when he moved from the front row to the second just now. Now, as he left his seat holding Charlotte, it inevitably caused a bit of a stir.Charlotte, unable to bear the sound of the gossip, had no choice but to bury her head completely in Leandro's chest like an ostrich playing dead.By the time Caroline realized, Charlotte had already been car
"Your wedding won't go smoothly! I'll let you know Marcus only loves me, and you're just a loser!"After Charlotte Bernard read this text, her face darkened.Today was her wedding with Marcus Gallagher; and the text was from Marcus' childhood sweetheart, Lydia Wagner.Charlotte took a deep breath before turning off her phone.For this wedding, the Bernard family and the Gallagher family invited every influential figure in Aelmere. While Charlotte told herself that Marcus wouldn't do anything stupid on such an occasion, she still felt a bit worried.Meantime, the host on the stage announced the entrance of the groom. "Next, please give your warmest welcome to our handsome groom, Mr. Marcus Gallagher!"As the host's voice trailed off, the banquet hall broke out into a round of thunderous applause.However, a few seconds had passed, and the groom, who should get on the stage, was still nowhere to be found.Whispers circulated among the crowd. The host smiled calmly to make light of the "
Charlotte was severely injured. She was sent to the hospital and underwent an emergency operation for eight hours.But even so, Charlotte was still not out of the woods yet. If she didn't wake up in the next 48 hours, she would never be able to in the future.When Greyson heard this, he almost fainted.Greyson's wife passed away a long time ago, so his baby girl, Charlotte, meant the whole world to him. It was supposed to be Charlotte's big day today, but Marcus ruined it by deserting Charlotte at the wedding.Looking at the Gallaghers, Greyson flew into a rage. "Get lost! All of you, get the hell out of here!"After Greyson drove away the Gallaghers, there was only Charlotte, and her best friend, Elizabeth Buck, in the ward.As Charlotte's bridesmaid, Elizabeth was on standby in the banquet hall the whole time. When Elizabeth realized something was wrong, Charlotte was already carried into an ambulance.Elizabeth couldn't understand how such a joyful wedding turned into an awful disa

Just a moment ago, Caroline was unsure if Leandro would stand up for Charlotte. But upon hearing Leandro say he was going to make a call. She immediately became excited."Charlotte, Mr. Romero stood up for you, shall we not leave?"Charlotte frowned, "I actually didn't really want him to get involved in this matter."When she left, she had already figured out how to vent her anger on herself. She just didn't expect to run into Leandro right outside the door.Charlotte had been in the circle for so many years after all. Although she was low-key, her strength and connections were still useful at critical times.The charity performance this time was personally invited by the chief planner, Gabriella, through a phone call to her.Gabriella was an open-hearted person, and she genuinely wanted to help those with hearing impairments, so she was upfront about why she was invited when she first made the call.The main purpose of this charity p
Adrienne and the person who came in with her were both a bit surprised, "Wasn't Charlotte the special guest performer today?"The staff member standing next to Tiffany was somewhat guilty, "Ms. Bernard's leg injury has recurred, we can't force Ms. Bernard to go on stage, can we, Ms. Mullen?"Adrienne arrived late. Although she didn't know what had just happened, she glanced at Tiffany and probably guessed it.She nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. After all, she was here for a charity performance today, and she didn't have much say in anything.Tiffany saw Charlotte leave and raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, "Not everyone can participate in such a large-scale charity performance."She hummed in satisfaction, finally feeling somewhat exhilarated.The news that Charlotte couldn't participate in the performance due to a recurrence of her foot injury quickly reached the event organizer, Gabriella Harrington.Gabriella was e
