At a concert, Charlotte was almost as popular as Dangelo.
Last night, Charlotte was caught on high-definition photos taken by Dangelo fans at the concert, and it immediately went viral. There were a bunch of people online asking who she was.
"Ah, sorry, but I couldn't help it. Who is this stunning lady that takes my breath away? Is she an amateur?"
"Oh my god, who is this goddess that Dangelo invited? She is so stunning! Please, I beg for the miss's Twitter!"
"Sorry, I was really a fan of Dangelo, but Ms. Bernard was just too beautiful! Has no one really discovered Ms. Bernard's talent? With her looks, I would be willing to pay just to see her sitting there!"

And in the early morning, "Charlotte" heated up again because of the photos of Leandro sending Hanna back to the hotel.
After Charlotte replied to the message and went online, she realized that on one hand, people were praising her beauty, and on the other hand, they were "pi
The message with two screenshots was sent by Elizabeth: If I'm not mistaken, the person in this picture is you, right?Charlotte opened the picture and immediately saw herself in it: "..."Elizabeth: "Unbelievable, I don't know which idiot leaked our Valentine's Day photo with Dangelo, claiming that his relationship is now exposed!"Charlotte: "..."To be honest, this incident happened in a way that she really didn't know what to say.Elizabeth: "Lottie, the whole internet is digging into it now, I guess... Damn! Someone has already dug it out, that "leading lady" is you!"Charlotte was originally depressed: "Destroy it, I'm tired!"The "cheating scandal" of Leandro has not completely subsided, and Charlotte was forced to become Dangelo's secret girlfriend.A few hours ago, Dangelo fans who were praising her beauty have already started to insult her."I knock! Can married people have some self-awareness? Once you are mar
The heat of Charlotte and Leandro's "fact" marriage soared, second only to Dangelo's news.Charlotte was momentarily at a loss, as it involved Leandro and Dangelo, she couldn't just speak up casually.At the same time, Leandro also learned about the online matter.Melvin watched Leandro flipping through the iPad, not daring to breathe.He also didn't know why, all of a sudden, Mr. Romero had a marital change.In the morning, Mr. Romero cheated, and in the afternoon, Mrs. Romero cheated as well.This is more thrilling than a roller coaster with ten loops!Leandro finished reading and looked up at Melvin, giving him a glance. "Melvin, are you waiting for me to make you buy the top trending search?"Why not go and remove the trending topic? Can just watching him here make things calm down?Melvin's back stiffened, and he quickly spoke up, "We have already arranged for someone to remove the trending topic, but this incident
Charlotte hesitated for a moment, thinking it was Joyce, and without much thought, she slipped on her slippers and went to open the door. "What's wrong, Joyce?"As soon as the words fell, she lifted her head and saw the familiar face of the man.In an instant, her eyes turned red, "Mr., Mr. Romero?"Realizing that she had lost control, she quickly averted her gaze, blinked her eyes, and tried to hold back her tears, saying, "Why did you suddenly come back?"She was a little flustered, unable to hold back her tears, and they flowed directly from the corners of her eyes."Do you believe me if I say my eyes were stung?"Leandro saw that she could still smile and felt relieved in his heart, "So distressed?"He didn't say anything, which was fine. But as soon as she spoke, Charlotte felt even more aggrieved: "I... really have nothing with Dangelo. How could they say such things about me?"I held back for a long time, and finally man
Leandro walked over to the chair in front of the dressing table and sat down. Charlotte awkwardly walked back and sat neatly by the side of the bed, saying, "Well, go ahead and ask."She didn't do anything wrong.At that moment, the phone she had placed on the dressing table suddenly lit up.Charlotte glanced over and, after seeing the message sent by Elizabeth, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly picked up her phone.Didn't you see it?She moved so quickly, Leandro probably didn't see it, right?However, reality was cruel. The next second, she heard the man click his tongue and say, "Perhaps you should reply to your friend's message first. Otherwise, I'm afraid she might have a negative misunderstanding about me.""..."Does she want to defend Elizabeth?Well, she couldn't come up with a good reason to explain Elizabeth's comment "Leandro, that dog of a man.""Sorry, Mr. Romero. My friend didn't mean any har
The familiar scent of cedarwood lingered on the tip of the nose, filling every breath with the scent of Leandro.Charlotte looked at the man's face, which was just a few centimeters away, and felt her breathing grow heavier with each passing moment.She looked into those black eyes, unable to tell whether the other person was testing her or just asking a simple question.She instinctively tightened her hands by her side, trying hard not to give herself away: "Yes, I will."A man like Leandro, if she were to answer directly, it would seem too deliberate."Would you?""... A man like you; it was hard not to be attracted, right?"Leandro clicked his tongue and said, "So, you never had a crush?"Help, what a deadly question this is!Just as Charlotte was about to spill everything, the sound of the doorbell suddenly rang out.This is simply the sound of nature!Charlotte quickly got up and said, "There is a gues
We didn't go out for dinner in the evening because Leandro had an urgent document to deal with.Charlotte watched Leandro's back and let out a slight sigh of relief.She raised her hand and touched her slightly feverish cheeks, took a moment to relax, and then turned around to go upstairs to get the "dead" phone.As expected, as soon as she turned on the computer, she received a bunch of messages from Elizabeth.Elizabeth: What did he explain? How did Mr. Romero explain it? It's not another case like Marcus said, is it? Is she a good sister?Elizabeth: The public opinion has shifted a bit. Oh, that Hanna studio has also come out to speak up!Elizabeth: Your husband's company's Twitter account also sent a lawyer's letter! Damn, how can I still eat dog food in this situation?Elizabeth: [Screenshot.JPG] [Screenshot.JPG] [Screenshot.JPG] [Screenshot.JPG]Daisy downstairs was also messaging her, and Charlotte at this moment also re
Charlotte stood at the door for a while, holding a rose. She realized that she had foolishly stood at the door for several minutes and quickly turned around, hugging the flower, and went back to the villa.How embarrassing!Luckily, no one else saw it!Charlotte arranged the large bouquet of roses and then looked at the screenshot Elizabeth sent.Hanna's studio clarified half an hour ago: Last night, Hanna returned to her home country and coincidentally ran into an old friend, Mr. Leandro Romero, at the hotel. Unfortunately, she suddenly fell ill, but thanks to Mr. Leandro Romero's timely assistance, she was able to receive medical attention. It was unexpected that this incident would cause such a misunderstanding, so we would like to clarify and explain the situation.Before the clarification statement from Hanna's studio was released, the official blog of the Splendid Group also issued a clarification: Our chairman, Mr. Leandro Romero, merely coi
Charlotte asked everyone she could ask, but they all said it wasn't.Finally, she was also too lazy to think about who did it, anyway... well, it's not a bad thing, right?Although she didn't want to admit it, she did feel a little bit pleased inside.When Leandro came down, Charlotte was there, holding her phone and giggling.Hearing footsteps, she instinctively looked up, her smile on her face not having had time to fade away, and the man saw it all."Has public opinion reversed?"Charlotte felt a little guilty and somewhat embarrassed, "It backfired."It turned upside down."Is that so?"He said it and sat down beside her.The woody fragrance emanated from the man, causing Charlotte to involuntarily curl her fingers.She watched as Leandro slowly took out his phone and moved his legs.What to do, I feel like escaping a little.Leandro opened Twitter and glanced at her, "Did you see it?"
Shannon’s thoughts were a mess. When she was with Nolan, there had been Alina between them. Now that she had just confessed her feelings to Emmett, suddenly a first love appeared.Once bitten, twice shy.Shannon felt like she had returned to that time of uncertainty and pain. But now, she no longer had the innocence or courage she once did.If Emmett still had feelings for his first love, she would leave him to be with her.After all, their marriage had never been a normal one to begin with.Yeah, at worst, she could just get a divorce!She sighed deeply, trying to comfort herself in a self-deceptive way.At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Emmett walked out, freshly showered.Shannon felt both sad and guilty. She instinctively turned her back to him, then immediately regretted it.Emmett was too smart. Wouldn’t turning away only expose her feelings?After a brief hesitation, she steeled herself and turned back around.As soon as she did, she met his cold, piercing gaze.Sha
Shannon bit her lip. “It’s nothing, just a spam message that distracted me for a moment.”Wasn’t Claire’s message just spam?Hmph!Even if Emmett really did buy a jet-ski, it wasn’t for Claire, so why was she being so arrogant?Melany was right—Claire was just trying to drive a wedge between her and Emmett!Pfft, she wouldn’t fall for it!Shannon pushed those thoughts aside and focused seriously on the conversation with Clarissa.Later that evening, after Shannon finished her bath, she sat down at the vanity. Suddenly, her phone lit up.It was a message from Melany: Shae, has your green tea rival been bothering you lately?【Curious.JPG】Emmett had gone to his study to deal with urgent work, leaving her alone in the room.Shannon picked up her phone and sent three question marks: ?Melany, who types quickly, responded almost immediately: I heard something, but I’m not sure if it’s true, so…It was rare for Melany to be so vague, so Shannon sent a sticker: 【Hurry up and tell me.JPG】Mela
Shannon blinked and then quickly ran over, her gaze falling to his collar before moving down to look at the tie. “Should I help you tie it?”Emmett raised an eyebrow, lifting the tie in his hand with a smile. “Then thank you, Mrs. Dunn.”Shannon felt a little awkward as she took the tie from him.She had always thought Emmett was tall, but it wasn’t until this moment, standing in front of him with a tie in her hand, that she truly felt the difference.She was 167 cm tall, which was average, but to tie his tie, she had to stand on her toes.This was her second time tying his tie. The first time, she was so nervous that it was loose and uneven. She wanted to adjust it but felt too shy, especially with his familiar woody scent lingering nearby. Eventually, she gave up.Now, they were more familiar with each other. Although she still felt shy, this time Shannon handled it much more confidently.She carefully tied the tie, then adjusted the collar of his shirt.As she moved her finger, it
Shannon nervously glanced outside but didn’t see Emmett, so she walked over to the piano and picked up the phone. “Hello?”“JJ, are you sure you’re not going to participate in this competition?”Shannon bit her lip. “Forget it, maybe next year.”On the other end, the person seemed a bit anxious. “Really? Are you sure? We really hope you’ll join this year! We’ve already arranged for media coverage, and you’ll be an instant sensation!”This was exactly what Shannon feared—she didn’t want to be an overnight celebrity!Although she hesitated for a moment, she still declined. “I really can’t this year. My leg injury is just healing.”Hearing her insist, the person sighed on the other end, sounding regretful. “Alright, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me. We’ll keep your spot reserved! I won’t bother you any further.”“Okay, goodbye.”After hanging up, Shannon stared at the piano but had no desire to practice anymore.Claire’s words suddenly resurfaced in her mind. Shannon purs
Shannon had never so directly felt a man’s desire. Her entire body stiffened, and she didn’t dare move.The room was so quiet she could hear both their breathing. The lingering woody scent only reminded her of their current situation.She wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but eventually, she couldn’t hold on anymore. Her hand started to feel numb.Slowly, she lifted her head and saw that Emmett had his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.She watched him for a few seconds before softly calling out, “Emmett, are you asleep?”She waited a moment, but didn’t hear a response, so she confirmed he was indeed asleep.Relieved, she carefully shifted out of his embrace.Knowing he was a light sleeper, she didn’t want to wake him. Once out of his arms, she lay flat for a while before daring to adjust her sleeping position.Just as she settled, a large hand suddenly clasped around her waist.Shannon stiffened. “Did I wake you?”She spoke, but there was no reply.It was clear Emmett hadn’t woken up
As she spoke, Shannon instinctively grasped the hem of Emmett’s pajamas.His gaze dropped slightly, and he saw her fingers, delicate as white jade, clutching his clothes. His dark eyes shifted like a bottomless whirlpool, focusing sharply.He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked into her sparkling eyes, his throat moving slightly as he restrained himself. “Sure.”Shannon’s face flushed hot, but the longing deep in her heart overwhelmed her. Tentatively, she reached out, grasping his pajama fabric, and after a moment of hesitation, she couldn’t hold back anymore. She moved her hand around his waist, hugging him tightly, and buried her head into his chest.The familiar woody fragrance filled her nose, more distinct than usual because of how close they were. That faint joy that had been buried deep inside her surfaced and grew more pronounced with the scent.Unable to resist, Shannon rubbed against him. “I miss you so much, Emmett.”Her soft, muffled voice came from his chest, and Emmett
When Emmett finished speaking, his gaze deepened as he looked directly at Shannon. “I wouldn’t exactly call it a good deed, but I just wanted to give ‘A Lifetime’ to Mrs. Dunn.”Shannon understood his meaning, and her face flushed instantly.She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist and couldn’t help but smile.A lifetime…The name was actually quite beautiful.She reached up to touch the bracelet again. “Thank you. I really like it.”Emmett looked at her for a moment. “Want to take a nap?”Shannon froze for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, the doorbell rang.She sighed with relief. “It’s probably the delivery. I’ll go grab it.”She turned and rushed out.Emmett watched her leave but didn’t stop her. His lips curled into a faint smile as he turned and went into the walk-in closet, taking a set of pajamas with him into the bathroom.Shannon stopped at the door, turned back to glance at him, and then made her way downstairs.When she reached the first floor, Miah was already
“Don’t like it?”“No, not at all!”How could she not like it?It was just that this bracelet was very special. It was clearly different from the popular, mass-market styles, which made her look at it a bit longer.“Should I put it on for you?”Shannon, hearing his words, extended her wrist toward him. “Why suddenly buy me a bracelet?”She loved playing the piano, so she preferred her wrists to remain bare, rarely wearing bracelets or rings. But her jewelry box wasn’t lacking in bracelets.Emmett took the bracelet, and while putting it on her wrist, he said, “I thought it’d suit Mrs. Dunn, so I bought it.”“Hmm?”Emmett fastened the clasp, then glanced up at her. “Don’t worry, this bracelet didn’t cost much.”Shannon looked at the bracelet on her wrist and, unable to help herself, reached out to touch it. Curiously, she looked at him. “Didn’t cost much? How much exactly?”She felt like her and Emmett’s “didn’t cost much” were two different concepts entirely.Emmett knew what she was th
Shannon stared at him and blinked slightly. “So you’re agreeing to go?”“Mmm,” Emmett responded, then lightly patted the back of her hand. “I brought you a gift from my business trip.”Her eyes instantly lit up. “Mango candies?”Emmett just looked at her and smiled without saying a word.Shannon, excited, asked, “Where is it?”Emmett pointed towards her vanity table. “On the vanity table.”She immediately got off him. “I’m going to check!”It had become a habit for Emmett to bring her mango candies as a gift whenever he went on a business trip.Shannon, wearing slippers, quickly made her way to the vanity. Before she even reached the table, she spotted the candy box on top.Her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously quickened her pace.As she reached the table, she noticed that, in addition to the mango candy box, there was also a jewelry box on one side.She raised an eyebrow, picked up the candy box, opened it, and took one out. She unwrapped it and popped it in her mouth, savoring the
