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
Elizabeth saw Charlotte's post and reposted it at once. She also commented, "I've been Charlotte's friend for two decades. I know how hard she tried to tolerate them. If Charlotte hadn't been so kind and low-key, I would have exposed what Lydia had done! Lydia is innocent? Would an innocent woman call Charlotte to show off at midnight? Would an innocent woman be in trouble or danger at crucial moments? Would an innocent woman suddenly interrupt their meal?"Charlotte provided much information in her post. She didn't exaggerate about her chats with Marcus with the screenshots shown clearly.During the two years when she dated Marcus, Lydia's name came out on all important days. Everyone could tell Lydia was purposeful.Elizabeth seemed to not have said much. But what she said was worth digging.Such shocking news broke the peace in the early morning. People made comments on the way to work."A twist! Tsk, I knew Ms. Wagner is no pushover! How could they blame Ms. Bernard? Come on! It w
After posting, Charlotte read the comments and enjoyed the breakfast.She felt happy to see those bad comments about Lydia.Suddenly, she understood why Lydia liked to make a fuss online.Although those people were strangers, it was pleasant to know some people scolded someone whom she hated.She regretted not having responded online before.Charlotte's response trended within half an hour.Another topic "reasonable escape from the wedding" was right behind "Charlotte's response", making it easy for people to understand the whole story.Meanwhile, Marcus got a call from Terry and heard of the news."Suppress the news!"Terry could feel his anger. But 10 minutes later, Marcus got another call from Terry.Terry said carefully on the phone, "Mr. Gallagher, I can't make it..."Marcus's face darkened. He took his coat directly and walked to the garage. "What do you mean?""I was told the news wouldn't be suppressed."Even the Gallagher family couldn't make it. Apparently, someone was behin
Charlotte finished breakfast and planned to practice playing the piano. When she was about to leave her room, she got messages from Elizabeth, "Damn! How dare she deny it?"Elizabeth sounded mad in the voice message. Charlotte raised her brow. "I'll check it."Charlotte pushed the wheelchair back and updated the page.Soon, she saw Lydia's response.Lydia posted, "Sorry!"I didn't realize my silly behaviors made you misunderstand us! Marcus and I have never gone across the line. But I feel really sorry that I have done so many things that misled you. I am sorry that I suddenly showed up at the meal between your families. I didn't think much. I just didn't want your relationship to be ruined by me. I offered to kneel and plead. Charlotte never asked me to do so! I am so sorry for my mistakes!"I'll apologize to Charlotte in person. Please don't spread the news and hurt Marcus and Charlotte!"I'll try my best to hold the video releaser responsible!""Finally, about what @Llliz had said,
Charlotte's response was direct and sharp. As soon as the recording was released, Lydia's mask was immediately torn off. Even those who had some sympathy for her dared not speak up anymore after hearing the recording."Ms. Bernard is amazing! Ms. Wagner deserves it.""It's such a refreshing start to the day! Thank you for setting the standard for entertainment industry scandals!""Oh... the truth is revealed so fast! Does Ms. Wagner have anything else to say now?""No way. Is there anyone who hasn't seen through Ms. Wagner's true face? She's a shameless but stupid woman. Even without this recording, her ugly side will be exposed one day, for she likes to be the other woman. Ms. Bernard was probably just too blinded by her love for her ex-boyfriend. But as soon as they broke up, her thinking became clear!"***Charlotte knew that this time, Lydia's reputation was completely ruined. Charlotte didn't believe that Lydia could come up with any more tricks!Elizabeth was so happy even thoug
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
