Several of Lydia's best friends spoke for Lydia on Twitter. But within a few minutes, they were so criticized by netizens that they didn't dare to comment anymore.Lydia's friends Janiah Barron and Harley Walter couldn't bear netizens' criticism. They took a screenshot and mentioned Lydia in the chat group.At the same time, Lydia cried hard to Marcus and said she didn't know why they were photographed when choosing a ring and why the photos were posted on Twitter.Marcus naturally didn't believe that Lydia would do such a thing. He asked Lydia for help in choosing the ring, but someone took photos of it and posted them online. But anyway, it had already caused such a big fuss, and Marcus thought that this wasn't a good thing for Lydia.He consoled Lydia, "Lydia, don't worry. I'll find out what is going on. OK, take care and rest more. Goodbye."As soon as the phone was hung up, Lydia checked the news on the chat group. When she saw the screenshot, she turned pale with anger.Meanwhil
Kenneth sent many more screenshots, but Marcus no longer had the mood to look at them.Marcus threw his phone aside, quickly put on the seat belt, and drove to the Bernard's home.Charlotte's Twitter account was overloaded. As soon as she tried to log onto it, her phone was stuck on the page.She planned to wait a day or two before logging onto the Twitter account. Anyway, she had taught Lydia a lesson.Lydia often posted sentimental texts on Twitter to live up to the title of "beautiful young author" created by her company. She posted and waited for people to praise her in the comments.Lydia deliberately arranged for trending topics today to disgust Charlotte.Now everyone's attention was on her marriage with Leandro. Charlotte instantly changed from the poorest bride to the most successful company president's wife.Lydia was supposed to feel disgusted today.Thinking of Lydia's irritated face, Charlotte felt an unprecedented pleasure well up in his heart.Her calf hadn't fully reco
Before picking Charlotte back, Greyson told the maids and the housekeepers that when the Gallagher family members showed up, no one could let them in unless Charlotte agreed.Marcus used to be able to enter the Bernard's villa as he pleased. Now he was stopped at the entrance.The weather was not very good. It was cloudy early in the morning. Now it started to rain.Marcus stood at the entrance of the villa. The housekeeper's words made his expression extremely sullen.The rain started quite lightly. But it gradually got heavier.Marcus looked inside the villa a few times and finally returned to the car.There were quite a few missed calls. It caused a sensation on the Internet that he bought a ring for Lydia. Charlotte's marriage with Leandro was also known to the whole city.Marcus glanced at the ten or more missed calls and had no intention of calling back for the time being.He found Charlotte's number and dialed it, only to hear customer service saying, "Sorry, the number you dia
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Greyson had a dinner invitation today, so Charlotte ate dinner alone.Everyone knew about her marriage to Leandro, and Lydia's secret intentions were revealed by netizens.Netizens either envied and congratulated Charlotte or ridiculed and abused Marcus.At around eight o'clock in the evening, Charlotte finally received Leandro's reply on Line.When she saw it was Leandro's message, Charlotte felt so guilty that her hands were shaking. It only stopped when she saw Leandro's reply. "You're welcome. I was just stating the facts."The response was simple, efficient, and direct.He was just stating the facts, stating the fact that they received the marriage license today.Charlotte looked at it and smiled. Her psychological burden suddenly disappeared.She edited another text and replied to him, "No matter what, I still caused you a lot of trouble. Anyway, I am both grateful and sorry."This time, Leandro responded quickly and concisely with just
Greyson paused to take a sip of water and then went on, "Marcus is not the man for you. Even if he apologizes to you on his knees, I won't let you marry him! Besides, you're already married. So, I'm declining...""Dad," Charlotte called out, interrupting him.It was a cry of protest.Greyson felt sorry but didn't stop. "Lottie, what's so good about Marcus anyway? If not for the incident at the intersection that day, you... you would have..."Charlotte knew what Greyson was trying to say. She shook her head. "Dad, I'm not going to forgive him."After a pause, she said in a cold voice, "Marcus said he would apologize to us on his knees, so we let him. We'll watch him do it. After all, he does owe me and the Bernard family an apology!"Charlotte was looking forward to watching the scene.Greyson had wanted to refuse this stupid dinner since he did not want Charlotte to associate with the Gallagher family anymore.But now he thought Charlotte had a point there and he had to go to dinner w
Charlotte tapped on her phone screen. After a moment of hesitation, she texted, "It's about us getting married. I don't think my dad will give you a hard time about that. Tell me if he does, and I'll talk to him."She could understand Greyson's feelings, and she was confident that Greyson trusted her and cherished her.Charlotte and Leandro got married out of the blue. That would inevitably make Greyson overthink. In that case, he would go to Leandro and ask questions.Only then did Charlotte realize that she had caused Leandro a lot of trouble since the day they went to city hall. She didn't want to add to it."Mrs. Romero, you're overthinking."Leandro's reply put a grimace on Charlotte's face.She murmured to herself, "Fine, I'm overthinking it."To Charlotte's surprise, he was not exactly what she thought he was."Never mind. We're going to get divorced sooner or later," Charlotte said to herself.Charlotte tossed her head to shake off those irrelevant thoughts.The Gallagher fami
Marcus realized his slip of the tongue and immediately said, "All right, it's late. Good night."Lydia didn't seem to have heard what he had just said, so she also said good night and hung up.Then Marcus took out a cigarette and lit it.He didn't believe that Charlotte could move on so easily after being together with him for so many years.Unlike Marcus, Charlotte had a good night's sleep.Charlotte checked Elizabeth's messages over breakfast.Elizabeth texted, "Aargh, so what if the ring isn't for Lydia? He can't say that he brought her there to pick a ring for you, can he?"She went on, texting, "Lydia got the worst of it this time and paid trolls to clear her name and portray her as a poor innocent girl. She's so shameless. It will be a pity that she can keep the facade."Elizabeth had never said something so mean about anyone when she was with Charlotte. But yesterday Charlotte even joined Elizabeth when Elizabeth bitched about Lydia. Elizabeth was happy that Charlotte finally p
Marcus threw away the scraps of the document. None of Terry and other top brass, who had just come out of the conference room, dared to make a sound when they saw this.The top brass walked away with their heads down, while Terry, as Marcus's secretary, had to stay.Terry stood there quietly, trying not to get Marcus's attention.But it was hard since he was right next to Marcus.Marcus glanced at him and said, "Give me your phone."Marcus had a grim look on his face. Terry took out his phone and stole a glance at him. Cold sweat broke out on Terry's back as he handed his phone to Marcus with shaky hands. "Here, Mr. Gallagher."Marcus took it, only to find it was still locked. When he was about to ask, Terry went up and unlocked it with his fingerprint.Marcus kept a sullen face and said nothing. He dialed Charlotte's number and called her with Terry's phone.Charlotte answered it quickly. "Hello, this is Charlotte.""Lottie, it's me," Marcus said over the phone.Marcus suppressed his
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
