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
After living with his daughter for so many years, Greyson couldn't bear to let her go.Charlotte was stunned, and her fair ears slowly turned red when she thought about this. "Everyone knows about my marriage to him. It doesn't seem proper if I don't move there."After all, they had just made a public display of affection. If they lived separately, it would be embarrassing when others found out. Although Charlotte's marriage with Leandro was fake, it was a secret only between them.Leandro asked Charlotte to move there, so there must be a reason.Leandro had done Leandro such a big favor, so it was only right for her to repay him.But Greyson didn't think it was a problem. "Although you have registered your marriage, you haven't had a wedding ceremony yet. It doesn't matter if you don't live together. Others can't say anything."Just as Charlotte was about to say something, Marcus's voice came from downstairs. "Lottie, come down and talk to me. Lottie!"It was late at night, but Marcu
Charlotte asked the maid to carry the wheelchair downstairs. Then she held onto the handrail and jumped down one step at a time.Her legs were almost healed, but the doctor advised her to move less for a faster recovery.Charlotte reached the first floor and got back into the wheelchair. Greyson pushed her out of the villa.Finally, at the sight of Charlotte, Marcus stopped calling out.He had been shouting downstairs for almost ten minutes, and his throat was a little sore. So, his voice was hoarse when he spoke. "Lottie..."Marcus tried to reach out and hug Charlotte. Ever since the wedding, he hadn't touched her again.When they were together before, Marcus didn't like that lovey-dovey way of dating. During the two years they were together, they rarely kissed, and the occasional hug was only because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.Back then, Marcus thought it was fine, but now that their relationship was on the rocks, Marcus realized how extravagant a hug could be.But
Charlotte sat restlessly again, feeling the same awkwardness she used to experience as a child when watching idol dramas with her parents and witnessing the sudden kiss between the main characters. She didn't know where to place her gaze.The excessively good equipment made people feel like they were there, the iron bed clanged and clanged, and the actress's unabashed screams made the entire audiovisual room narrow.In the quiet audio room, there was only the sound of the movie playing, the ambiguous moaning, which made the air become hot. Charlotte felt that even her breathing was not smooth.The room was filled with that sound, very awkward. Charlotte raised her hand and wiped her forehead, her gaze sweeping over the fruit on the table, and a thought struck her: "The watermelon looks so sweet."She said as she took the opportunity to get up from Leandro's arms and grab a piece of watermelon.At that moment, the supporting actress suddenly exclaimed, "Hmm--"The effect of the stereo
"I didn't!"It's all Elizabeth's fault. She said, "It's normal to be scared for the first time. Just light some scented candles, dim the lights, and create a romantic atmosphere. Everything will fall into place."Charlotte quickly denied it.Thinking about how Leandro had just seen the message Elizabeth sent, Charlotte was afraid that he would bring up the topic again. Subconsciously, she straightened her body and decided to focus on watching the movie. "Let's watch a movie."Leandro leaned back on the sofa behind him and casually responded, "Oh."The movie was a serious suspense film, but it seemed like the scale of this suspense film was a bit large.The movie was playing for about twenty-five minutes when the female protagonist and the male protagonist suddenly started passionately kissing.The audio system was particularly good, with 360-degree surround sound. The sound of the male and female protagonists kissing and their rapid breathing could be heard in the audio room.Charlott
On the way back, Charlotte simply pretended to be asleep.After parking the car, Leandro lifted her up.The person in his arms had fluttering eyelashes. Leandro looked at them but didn't expose them. He carried the person and went straight upstairs into the master bedroom.When Charlotte was put on the bed, she suddenly remembered that tonight she was going to share a bed with Leandro.This realization prevented her from pretending to sleep any longer!She quickly pretended to wake up, just as she opened her eyes, the bright light from the incandescent lamp made her instinctively squint.The almond eyes opened, and the man was looking at her with a smile that seemed like a smirk, "Awake?"Charlotte felt guilty as she was being watched, so she looked away and said, "I'm so thirsty, I'm going downstairs to get some water!"She said it and then got out of bed and ran downstairs.Leandro watched her figure disappear, the smile in his dark eyes growing even stronger.Charlotte finished dri
Charlotte's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, her gaze flickered, and both sides of her ears turned red.She felt embarrassed to continue the topic, she lifted her phone and pointed at the drink inside it, saying, "I wanted to drink cola."I haven't had cola for a long time.She said, pausing for a moment, "And you?""You could."Although Leandro said it was all fine, Charlotte suddenly remembered the one-centimeter thick file about Leandro's preferences that Melvin gave her two months ago.He didn't like carbonated drinks.Finally, Charlotte ordered him a bottle of mineral water.Not long after placing the order, a staff member came over with a tray of freshly popped popcorn, the strong aroma of corn enticing Charlotte's appetite. Even before the movie started, she began to eat.After a while of eating, she noticed that Leandro was looking at her.Charlotte felt a little embarrassed, as it seemed inappropriate to eat alone.She handed the popcorn in her hand to him and said,
Tomorrow is Sunday, and after being busy for five days, all the CEOs want to relax completely on this Saturday.So Aidan suggested playing mahjong together after dinner, but this proposal was ruthlessly rejected by Leandro.Aidan expressed great confusion, "Why? Tomorrow is Sunday, we can come back late tonight and sleep late tomorrow, isn't that enough?"He said, looking at Charlotte, "Isn't it, Ms. Bernard?"Charlotte was at a loss and didn't know whether to nod or shake her head for a moment.Why did you even involve her, a mere spectator, in the argument between you and your troublemaking friends?Just as Charlotte didn't know how to answer, Leandro, who was beside her, helped her out: "She wants to go back to practice the piano."The reason was so legitimate that even someone as shameless as Aidan couldn't bring himself to continue suggesting that they finish their meal together."Sorry, I forgot, I will punish myself with three cups of chicken soup."Charlotte glanced at Leandro
Leandro clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that Mrs. Romero truly didn't care about me."How did it come to the point where it was no longer a matter of concern for him?Weren't they talking about his first love?Charlotte blinked her eyes and asked, puzzled, "Do the two have any connection?""There was."He spoke and then fell silent for a moment. "If Mrs. Romero cared about me," he said, "she should know that I had already answered questions about my love life in my previous interviews."Charlotte looked at him awkwardly and said, "But I wasn't familiar with you before."He didn't say anything, he just looked at her.At that moment, Charlotte felt inexplicably guilty.She began to reflect on whether she had really been too indifferent towards him!As his wife, she didn't even know about his romantic experiences!She decided that tonight she would go back and read all of Leandro's previous interviews!Charlotte collected her thoughts and followed him to the parking lot.Leandro h
Charlotte pursed her lips, lifted her leg and walked over to squeeze some hand soap to wash her hands.At that time, there were only the two of them in the bathroom.Hanna stood beside her and called out to her, "Ms. Bernard.""Hmm?"Charlotte rinsed off the hand soap, grabbed a tissue, and wiped her hands. As she wiped, she looked at Hanna and asked, "Does Ms. Norton need something?"Hanna looked at him and smiled, "Nothing, just wanted to ask Ms. Bernard if she knew about Lance's first love."Charlotte's hand paused for a moment, but it was only for a second. Soon, she returned to normal and said, "First love, everyone has it, don't you, Ms. Norton?"Hanna squinted her eyes for a moment and said, "Yeah, Ms. Bernard was right."She said, pausing for a moment, "I was quite surprised that Lance would marry you."Charlotte crumpled the paper towel and threw it into the trash can, saying, "I'm quite surprised, Ms. Norton, why are you so interested in my husband?"At this point, she humme
Nathan's words felt like a huge rock, directly hitting Hanna's heart.However, she had never been "mocked" like this before, and Hanna's panic on her face was only momentary. Soon, she recovered and said, "If Charlotte is indeed Leandro's first love, then there was nothing between Marcus and her all these years."She said, raising her hand to flick her long hair behind her shoulder, "Although I haven't seen Leandro's first love, I know for sure that Charlotte is not his first love."She spoke with absolute certainty.Nathan shrugged, "Think whatever you want."He didn't like talking to women like Hanna. These kind of people never listened to others, they only immersed themselves in their own fabricated world.If it weren't for not wanting Hanna to ruin Leandro's mood, Nathan wouldn't have even spoken to her about these things.After Nathan finished speaking, he lifted his leg and walked towards Leandro and them.Hanna stood still; this time she did not follow.She watched as Leandro l
Charlotte blinked her eyes and said, "How do we gamble?""If we had come in first place, Mrs. Romero would have said that sentence to me."Charlotte didn't react immediately. "What did you say?"She had just asked and immediately understood what Leandro meant.Charlotte felt her face flush, and she raised her hand to touch her cheek. "So, we didn't come in first?""I said that sentence to Mrs. Romero."Charlotte looked into the black eyes in front of her, and her heart trembled slightly. "Okay, okay," she said.Aidan, who was far away, saw that the two of them were falling behind and said, "Mr. Romero, Mrs. Romero, could you please hurry up?"Charlotte heard Aidan's words and felt a bit awkward. "Let's go over there quickly!" she said.Leandro pursed his lips and led her away."Why did you walk so slowly with such long legs?"Aidan glanced at Leandro's legs and snorted.Leandro raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "Are you in a hurry to lose?"Aidan clicked his tongue and said, "W
