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
The online heat didn't really die down until the afternoon. People in the circle all knew that Marcus had given up on Charlotte, his childhood sweetheart of twelve years, for Lydia, a scheming girl.Many people talked behind them and said that Marcus must be blind. Even the wealthy heiress Sylvia Ramsey, who never had a good impression of Charlotte, posted a cryptic message on her social media, showing her support for Charlotte.Elizabeth saw Sylvia's post and couldn't help but feel moved. She screenshotted it and sent it to Charlotte, saying, "Look, Lottie. Even Sylvia feels sorry for you."Sylvia and Charlotte never got along since they were young. Sylvia framed and set up Charlotte many times while they were in school. Like sworn enemies, they did not even bother to maintain false friendships.Elizabeth thought Sylvia was heartless, like a cold-blooded snake.Charlotte had just finished practicing the piano when she saw Elizabeth's screenshot. She signed.Even Sylvia thought it was
For the first time, Marcus felt a little annoyed with Lydia. He didn't want to talk to her, so he pretended that he didn't see her. To his surprise, Lydia stood directly in front of his car."Squeak..."The harsh brake sound caught the attention of everyone around. They all turned to look at the black Mercedes.Marcus looked at Lydia, who was blocking his car, and a kind of anger he had never felt before surged within him.He opened the car door and got off. "Do you want to die?"Lydia looked up, tears streaming down her face. With red eyes, she appeared pitiful."I'm sorry, Marcus. I didn't mean it."In the past, Marcus would have softened his heart seeing her like this, but thinking about what happened online, he felt complicated.Marcus wondered, "Has Lydia changed, or have I misjudged her from the beginning? Is she always like this?"Marcus gazed at Lydia with complicated eyes, and his tone carried a rare touch of impatience. "You said you didn't mean it. Then what about the recor
Leandro placed the picked-out fish meat onto her dish: "Indeed, it's not very high.""...Thank you."The concept of money for the rich was indeed different from hers!"Did you lack money?""No, it wasn't.""Mm-hmm."Leandro glanced at her, "If you're short of money, let me know, I can--lend it to you!""Thank you."There was absolutely no need!The matter had already been reported, next was to sign a contract with Dangelo.Dangelo's agent had already spoken with Caroline. After Charlotte finished lunch, she received a call from Caroline asking her to go out and sign a contract.Charlotte was somewhat surprised, "That fast?""Dangelo said over there that their company was pushing hard."Charlotte didn't think much either, "Oh, oh, oh, okay!"She had originally planned to take a nap, but now she could only change her clothes and go out to sign the contract.With the temperature out
Just when Charlotte thought Leandro was about to kiss her, the warm breath suddenly disappeared.Charlotte subconsciously opened her eyes, her gaze directly colliding with those dark pupils.Leandro had already reined in his energy, looking at her with a smile, "You're right, it's indeed a bit not so good."Charlotte looked at those thin lips, not knowing why, upon hearing his words, she surprisingly felt a bit of regret.The expression on her face was just too obvious. Leandro looked at her, "You seem to regret it?"Charlotte was startled and quickly denied in a series, "I'm not, I didn't, I can't!"The man hooked up his thin lips, his eyes full of deep meaning: "Hmm."Charlotte was really feeling guilty, "I'm going to practice the piano!"Without waiting for a response, she immediately ran upstairs and entered the piano room.Her heart was pounding so fast as if it was about to burst out of her chest at any moment.
Charlotte buried her head, "Could you please leave first, Mr. Romero?"She was clearly a clever person, so why did she act like a dumb penguin whenever she was around Leandro?"If you keep squatting like this, your blood circulation will be affected when you stand up later, and you will feel dizzy."Leandro spoke, pausing for a moment, "And now you're on the stairs, can you guarantee that you won't get dizzy and fall when you get up later? Is face more important or is life more important?""..."Alright, life matters.Charlotte bit her lip, decided to let go completely, released her own hands, looked up at Leandro, and said, "Mr. Romero, don't you think I'm like a stupid penguin?""Not like that."Charlotte secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but this relief didn't last for two seconds before she heard the other person speak again: "Like a stupid rabbit.""..."Alright, she knew it, the "stupid image" she had in f
Leandro had just come in from swimming, his hair still dripping with water. The droplets at the ends of his hair slid down the man's chiseled cheeks and finally dropped to the ground.He was wearing a bathrobe, but it was draped casually, with the neckline almost open, revealing most of his clearly defined muscles to Charlotte."Have you finished your breakfast?"Charlotte quickly averted her gaze, "Just finished eating."Damn!No comparison, no harm!Lived under the same roof!She didn't finish her breakfast until nine o'clock, by which time Leandro had already gone for a round of exercise and come back!No wonder he had such a good figure, while she couldn't even get a vest line!She was such a noob!Leandro nodded, picking up the bathrobe to wipe his hair.Due to his movement, the bathrobe was lifted, almost exposing his upper body.Charlotte once again clearly saw those eight-pack abs, and all th
Charlotte didn't know if Leandro had insomnia, but she herself didn't sleep well the whole night.The cell phone alarm rang, Charlotte struggled for a while but resignedly answered the call."Just woke up?"A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. Charlotte listened, finding it somewhat familiar, but for the moment, she couldn't remember who it was."Who were you?""It seems Ms. Bernard really is a busy person. Last time, you mentioned that there might be a part-time job and we could contact you again."Charlotte had just woken up a moment ago, feeling a bit dazed and her mind was somewhat sluggish.But by then, she had already remembered who the person was: "Dangelo?!""Congratulations, Ms. Bernard, you guessed correctly."Charlotte was taken aback, the last bit of sleepiness completely gone, "Is there something you need?""Of course, I was going on tour next month, and the first stop was Aelmere. Ther
Charlotte's breath hitched, she stared at Leandro, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry..."She said, reaching out to take the phone.Leandro didn't give her a hard time, he simply let go and placed the phone directly in her hand.Charlotte took the phone, her ear burning, and guiltily glanced at Leandro.You didn't see it, did you?The driver ahead was apologizing, saying that a delivery vehicle suddenly rushed out.Leandro didn't say much, "Drive."Larry secretly wiped off his sweat, driving even more cautiously.The carriage fell silent again, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.Leandro didn't react, which meant he didn't see it.Actually, it wasn't a big deal even when she saw it, she didn't say much to Elizabeth, it was all words of praise for him!Ten minutes later, the car drove into the villa.Charlotte and Leandro got out of the car, and the two of them walked side by side from the garage to the livi
Meanwhile.Sitting in the car, Charlotte was reflecting on everything that had just happened, wondering if she had been kicked in the head by a donkey.How did she just - just run straight into Leandro's arms?Thinking back to the moment when she had bumped into Leandro, her heart would still involuntarily quicken at the memory.You were so pathetic, Charlotte!It was just a play, why are you still here blushing like a primary school kid who has never been in love?But he was Leandro, yeah!Right, he was Leandro!The cream of the crop among men!"What were you thinking about?"In the quiet carriage, a male voice suddenly sounded.Charlotte paused for a moment, looked up at the man beside her, and blurted out as usual, "Thinking about the best among men."No sooner had her words fallen than she distinctly saw a strange change in Leandro's facial expression.His dark eyes were fixed on her, and
Leandro's sudden appearance clearly shattered Marcus's "illusion".Of course, he also slapped Tiana and Daisy hard.Daisy had been dissatisfied with Marcus's insistence on staying, but thinking that Charlotte was just showing off, she thought it might not be a bad idea to stay and watch the spectacle.Just a few minutes had passed, and Leandro appeared!The three of them had different thoughts, but Elizabeth was very pleased.She was about to make a sarcastic remark, when a young man in a suit, holding an umbrella, glanced her way, "Hello, are you Miss Elizabeth, a friend of Mrs. Romero?"Elizabeth was somewhat taken aback, staring at the man in front of her. It took her a couple of seconds to nod and say, "Yes, it's me. What's up?""I was Mr. Romero's secretary, Melvin. Mr. Romero sent me to take you home, Ms. Farrell. With such heavy rain, it's hard to get a cab."The man's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough f
"Boo hoo hoo, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match in terms of social status!""It was enough that my boyfriend was handsome, but he would also come to pick me up whenever it rained. This kind of on-call availability, I was truly envious."Angela walked under Marcus's umbrella amidst the envious gazes and sounds of the crowd.When she hooked up with Marcus, she gave Tiana Flynn a wink.Tiana glanced in Charlotte's direction and spoke up directly, "Mr. Gallagher, Ms. Bernard is also here, won't you give her a ride as well?"Marcus's face changed slightly, he turned around and quickly spotted Charlotte in the crowd."Lottie."He restrainedly shouted.In the crowd, Charlotte, suddenly cued, said: "..."She somewhat regretted stopping Elizabeth from tearing Tiana's mouth.Before Marcus could speak, Angela asked generously, "Ms. Bernard, would you like a ride?""No need, someone came to pick me
