The Gallagher family took this dinner very seriously. Both Marcus's parents and Lauren came.Charlotte and Greyson arrived at the private room at the last minute, only to be told that Marcus was on the way. Greyson's face darkened and he looked at the Gallagher family and asked, "What does that mean?"The Gallagher family sounded so apologetic when they called Greyson, but now the wrongdoer Marcus was late.Raymond looked very embarrassed. When he was about to apologize to Greyson and Charlotte, the door was pushed open.It was Marcus.After taking a glance at Charlotte, Marcus sensed the tension in the room. He went up and said, "Sorry for being late, Mr. Bernard. I got stuck in traffic on the way here."The truth was that Marcus stayed longer at the port than he had expected. On his way to the hotel, he ran into Lydia. He was worried that Lydia would follow him and annoy Charlotte, so he talked to Lydia for a while. That was why he was late for the dinner.Charlotte helped Greyson t
Both Greyson and Charlotte drew a distance from the Gallagher family during the meal.It made Marcus's heart sink gradually. Raymond and his wife lost their appetite. Lauren didn't care about it and enjoyed the meal.Half an hour later, reminded by Marisa, Lauren finally put down her fork. The waiter came in to clean the table and served them fruit and dessert.Raymond prepared wine. But Greyson said he wouldn't drink as he came for something serious.The meal was over. It was time to have a talk.Raymond sighed, "Greyson, I know we are to blame in terms of the wedding. We should say sorry to you and Lottie. I didn't stop him from mistakes and terrible behaviors."Greyson, Lottie, I'm sorry!"Raymond paused and suddenly opened a bottle of wine. He poured a glass of wine for himself and finished up.Greyson frowned and saw him pouring another glass of wine. He reached out to stop Raymond. "Raymond, you..."Raymond pushed his hand away. "It's my fault. I am not a good father!"Then he d
She withdrew her hand and looked up at Marcus. "Aren't you kneeling to apologize to me?"Charlotte's words make Raymond and Marisa's faces change greatly.Lauren was surprised too. She looked at Marcus and then Charlotte. "Do you really want him to kneel and apologize to get your forgiveness?"It was the others' doubt too. Marisa also took the change to ease the tense. "It's modern time. No one kneels! We only kneel to our ancestors! This is ominous, Lottie."Charlotte looked at Marcus. "Last night, my dad told me you would kneel and apologize. That's why I am here."She was blunt, giving him no turning over.Marcus had never been so embarrassed. He looked at her. "Lottie, will you forgive me if I do that?""It's up to me if I will forgive you. But it's up to you if you will apologize in that way."Hearing this, Marisa looked unhappy and wanted to say something, only to be stopped by Raymond.Marisa wanted Charlotte to be her daughter-in-law. But Aelmere was a big city. Charlotte was
Marcus smashed the glass onto the ground. As it fell, a dull bang sounded, ending the meal tonight.Only Lydia's sobbing could be heard in the box. She was pulled up by Marcus and kept crying with her head down.Charlotte glanced at the glass. It didn't break. But the tea flowed out into the carpet.She watched quietly and didn't withdraw her gaze until all the tea penetrated the carpet.Charlotte felt that the tea in the glass was like her last hope. It was finally gone.She didn't feel as sad as she had imagined. Instead, she felt relieved."It's over, Marcus."Her tone was light. But everyone could hear her.After that, Charlotte picked up her bag and pushed her wheelchair away.Her simple words were so heavy for Marcus. It hurt him a lot.Marcus raised his hand to grab Charlotte subconsciously. But when he reached out, Charlotte moved her hand as if she had expected it and avoided him.Her wheelchair moving on the carpet made small noises. It was hard to hear them.But soon, the n
After the elevator door closed, only Charlotte, Greyson, and Leandro were there.Leandro stood behind Charlotte with one hand on the handle of the wheelchair and the other down casually. His fingertip touched her back by accident, which tickled. She moved forward subconsciously.It caught Leandro's attention. He lowered his head and looked at her hands, his dark eyes moving.Greyson didn't notice it. He glanced at Leandro and thought of what had happened. He thought it was necessary to explain. "Mr. Romero, don't get Lottie wrong. We came here tonight to cut off the Gallagher family."Hearing his words, Charlotte subconsciously looked up at Leandro, who was behind her. She thought of her brief answer "for dinner" just now and somehow felt a bit guilty.Charlotte pressed her lips and said, "Marcus said he would kneel and apologize.""Really? Did he?"Leandro looked down at her with curiosity in his dark eyes."No.""OK."He replied and looked at Greyson. "Mr. Bernard, don't worry. I tr
Charlotte and Greyson got closer. But Marcus was in a bad situation.Charlotte and Greyson left without hesitation. The relationship between the two families ended after the meal.Marisa looked at Lydia on the ground angrily. "Ms. Wagner, you're still on the ground. Do you want others to misunderstand me?"Lauren was disdainful and said bluntly, "Is Marcus blind? He didn't choose Charlotte but this woman?"Hearing her words, Lydia clenched her fists on the ground. Even Charlotte had never humiliated her like this. But Lauren was so offensive!Just then, Marcus, who had tried to get Charlotte back, came back. Seeing him, Lydia struggled to get up and fell into his arms on purpose.Marcus supported her subconsciously and then looked down at Lydia, who had tears down her face with wet hair.He paused. "Forget about what happened tonight, Lydia."Lydia pressed her lips and shook her head weakly. "It's my fault! If it weren't for me, Lottie would have forgiven you! Marcus, Lauren is right.
It was the best night Charlotte had. She slept well and didn't wake up until 7:30 am. After washing up, she picked up her phone and found that she had got a message late at night."Charlotte, you can't win against me."The strong complacency was familiar. Charlotte could tell who sent the message.However, Lydia was a coward. She texted Charlotte with different numbers every time.Charlotte glanced at it, remaining calm.Soon, she knew why Lydia was so smug.Elizabeth sent her dozens of messages. Charlotte realized what was going on after checking all the screenshots. Elizabeth complained a lot.Elizabeth: "I can't believe it! She should have been an actress. Why is she always against you?""Well, she's indeed not pretty enough to be an actress.""It's a meal between your families. Did she show up to meet her future mother-in-law? She thinks Marcus's mother will like her?""She must be leading public opinion with trending topics. That's all her trick. Does she think you're stupid?"**
"Oh ... didn't Ms. Bernard go too far? Just make it decent. She didn't have to ask him to kneel! Ms. Wagner even cried like that...""In fact, after watching the video, I understood why Mr. Gallagher escaped from the wedding! Ms. Bernard is so mean!""She asked him to kneel! That's humiliating! She even poured hot tea onto Ms. Wagner's head! Is she crazy? She even smiled while doing that! Oh, no! Her smile is crazy!""Why did she have to be so mean to another woman? Charlotte is so vicious. No wonder Marcus doesn't like her anymore."***People scolded Charlotte in the comments of the second video. Many people watched it and claimed that Charlotte deserved a ruined wedding.Lydia was whitewashed because of the other video.Of course, some people were rational and smart. But their small voices were soon engulfed by people's angry criticism.Such videos easily caught people's attention. The person who released the video even used an eye-catching title.Within half an hour, "reasonable e
When Charlotte was wheeled in by Leandro, there was a clear surprise among the people in the box.The manager of the Brand Department of the Splendid Group was even more confused. Wasn't tonight's dinner supposed to finalize the spokesperson for next year?Of course, despite their lack of understanding, they didn't dare to ask any further about what was going on.Jayden, having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, immediately understood why Leandro had suddenly invited them to this meal today.Neither a day earlier nor a day later would do, it had to be today.Jayden thought about Charlotte and Dangelo trending, feeling waves of fear afterward, and pondered that he would have to find an opportunity to express his stance again later.He nudged Dangelo with his elbow. Dangelo raised his eyebrows, glanced at Charlotte, and then his gaze swept over Leandro.Leandro's attention was all on Charlotte. After someone else pulled out a chair, Leandro led Charlotte to her seat.
Leandro's car was parked right at the entrance of the villa, the driver had been waiting by the car for a while.Seeing Leandro carrying Charlotte out, the driver opened the back seat door without batting an eye.Charlotte had just sat down when Orion had already come out pushing her wheelchair.The driver stowed the wheelchair in the back seat and quickly returned to the driver's seat, waiting for a signal from Leandro.The car door closed, and the woody scent from the man beside me became increasingly distinct."Drove."The car slowly started moving. Charlotte turned her head to look out the window, and after a while, she finally withdrew her gaze.Originally wanted to ask Leandro who he was dining with, but unexpectedly, the man beside him had already closed his eyes to rest.Alright, then I won't ask anymore.Not long after the car left the villa, it ran into a traffic jam. Charlotte didn't have time to react to the sudden brake. Seeing her forehead about to hit the chair in front
Charlotte took a nap and when she woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon, almost five.She thought of Leandro's suggestion to have dinner together that night before she went to sleep. Although she didn't know what Leandro had planned, the event today indeed had some impact on him.Charlotte looked down at her legs, they were in such a state, that surely Leandro couldn't expect her to accompany him to the business banquet tonight.If it wasn't a banquet, then it could only be a dinner party.Charlotte had chosen a short dress from Dior's limited-edition collection. The stand-up collar design and the iconic blue Oblique print gave her an elegant yet lively look. The waist was adorned with pleated details, accentuating her slim waist. The flared hemline further highlighted her straight and attractive legs.Of course, her leg hadn't fully healed, and sitting in a wheelchair, one couldn't tell whether it was straight or not.However, Charlotte's skin was pale, and her dress onl
Charlotte and Dangelo's trending topics were quickly removed, and Dangelo's explanation came out fast as well."@Charlotte owes an apology to Ms. Bernard, I didn't expect that asking you to help record an accompaniment would cause so much trouble. PS: Thank you everyone for your trust in me! I'm grateful!"Dangelo's explanation was immediately pushed to the top of the hot list by fans as soon as it came out, and Charlotte also breathed a sigh of relief.No matter what, she now held the title of Chairman's wife of the Splendid Group. If this matter were to hang on the internet for a day, imagine how much it would affect Leandro and the Splendid Group!Charlotte had a moment of fame, after all, with Dangelo's huge fan base, they all knew about his recent preparations for a new album. Surprisingly, Charlotte was the accompanist for Dangelo's new album, and quite a few fans started digging into Charlotte.Charlotte became famous at seventeen, but she was very low-key. Apart from her peers
Melvin composed himself and tentatively called out, "Mr. Romero?"Leandro reined in his laughter a bit, lightly tapping his index finger on the table, "Have someone remove the trending topic from the internet."Melvin had also been intending to ask Leandro about this, but to his surprise, Leandro already knew. He paused for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Alright, Mr. Romero, I'll withdraw immediately.""Mm-hmm."The man moved slightly, his slender fingers tapping on the phone screen.Hadn't replied yet.What to do, he was still a bit upset.Seeing Leandro silent, Melvin couldn't help but look up at him.The man's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and the face that was just smiling was inexplicably melancholic.Melvin was startled, this Mr. Romero's change of face was faster than the change of weather!"Was Dangelo's endorsement deal settled?"Dangelo was the spokesperson for the Splendid Group for the following year, which was just settled last week, and the contract process had not ye
Dangelo's fans were quite rational, but there were too many people stirring up trouble. Charlotte was directly brought to third place on the trending list, while the news about Lydia and Marcus renting a room together directly dropped in popularity.Charlotte saw such a big scene for the first time, and she was somewhat panicked inside.Dangelo's identity was special, so she didn't dare to speak recklessly. Just as she was about to call Dangelo to ask how she should cooperate. Line received a message from "L"."[Image]""[Image]""Should Ms. Bernard have explained?"It's over, her plastic husband also knew about this matter.Charlotte's heart fluttered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. After all, she hadn't done anything wrong, she was just helping out and making some extra money on the side.Charlotte organized her words, "Mr. Romero, it's not what you think! Dangelo and I are just friends! He asked me to record the accompaniment for his new album more than two months ago, a
#The naive Ms. Wagner took power#At first, Charlotte didn't realize that she was trending. The trending position wasn't very high, but it wasn't low either, ranking at the eleventh spot.Charlotte had not yet gotten used to the nickname that netizens gave Lydia until she curiously clicked on this trending topic. Only then did she realize that the trending topic was about Lydia and Marcus.It turned out that someone had taken a photo of Lydia and Marcus going to a hotel together at around two in the morning last night.Not only photos, but even short videos were there.Probably neither of them noticed that someone was following and taking pictures of them. As soon as they entered the room, they started kissing passionately. However, not long after they started, the door was closed. One can easily imagine what happened next.Yesterday online, Lydia wanted to blame Charlotte, but it backfired. Everyone thought that the situation had already escalated enough last night, but to everyone's
Dangelo emerged from the recording studio. It had already been over forty minutes.It was already eleven fifty, lunchtime.Dangelo took the water handed to him by his assistant and started drinking, "Lunch together?""No, my driver is downstairs."Dangelo took another sip of water, clearly showing his thirst. His light brown eyes lingered on her for a moment, "Alright, I won't trouble you anymore."He said, tossing her a box, "A token of gratitude."Charlotte opened it, revealing a cute and delicate rabbit bag clasp. Confirming that it wasn't a very expensive gift, she accepted it, saying, "I'll treat you to a meal next time we have the chance.""When was the next time?"He suddenly asked this, Charlotte was completely unprepared and was taken aback, "When are you free?""I was quite free today."Charlotte was utterly embarrassed, her face burning hot. She couldn't respond to that statement.Seeing her embarrassment, Dangelo didn't tease her anymore: "Just kidding."Charlotte breathed
Dangelo walked straight up to Charlotte, looked her up and down, "Your leg, is it lame?"Charlotte was a bit embarrassed, "No, I broke a bone. The doctor advised me to rest, so I had no choice but to use a wheelchair."Dangelo clicked his tongue, "I should have said earlier, I would have sent someone to pick you up.""It's okay, my driver brought me here.""Alright then."After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dangelo got straight to the point: "Your timing is perfect, we were just about to start!"The two of them had just been chatting intimately, and Dangelo's agent's face was getting worse and worse, looking like he was about to explode. It was then that Dangelo introduced, "Charlotte, last year's winner of the International Castaneda Piano Competition, the special invited piano accompanist for my new album!"Upon hearing Dangelo's words, the agent's face immediately changed. He enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Charlotte, "Ms. Bernard, hello! My name is Jayden Brandt, Dangel
