Charlotte was particularly sensitive to the words 'car accident' since her parents had died in one.At the funeral, she had hidden in a corner and overheard people talking about the car accident. They had found it too strange, as it had claimed the lives of three prominent individuals: her parents and her eldest uncle's wife. These three people were considered the future leaders of the Scott family.Her grandparents on her mother's side came from humble backgrounds and had no say in family matters. However, her eldest uncle's wife came from a prestigious family. When the accident happened, her family sent investigators who spent nearly half a year investigating it but found no evidence of foul play.The accident was ultimately ruled as an accident.Could there be so many accidents in this world?Charlotte had suspected her third uncle and even her eldest uncle. But after observing them for years, she realized neither of them was capable of such an elaborate cover-up.Lost in thou

Suzanne Cole looked furious. When she saw Charlotte, she almost didn't recognize her. She cautiously said, "Charlotte?"Charlotte smiled and responded, "Teacher, it's been a long time."Suzanne wasn't in the mood to catch up. She forced herself to suppress her anger and was about to speak when she heard a young woman's voice from behind."If it weren't for her, I would have already made it big. Yet she's giving me an attitude! She's getting old. If she can't direct, she should just admit it!"These words ignited Suzanne's anger. She was about to go back and argue with the young woman, but Charlotte grabbed her, signaling to Wade's assistant with her eyes. The assistant quickly rushed forward, and together, they pulled Suzanne away from the commotion.They went to an upstairs dressing room where Wade happened to arrive.The assistant briefly explained the situation, and Wade expressed sympathy for Suzanne. In the slow season of the film industry, many directors who had been idle a
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 167 A Perfect Performance
It had been three years since Charlotte last stepped onto a stage. Sitting in front of the makeup mirror and looking at her reflection in the traditional costume, she felt she had traveled through time.Outside, the commotion continued, but she had already picked up the script and quickly memorized her lines.Suzanne called the male actor who would share the stage with her. At first, he was reluctant and leaned toward having the director apologize instead to avoid jeopardizing the performance. However, his attitude wavered when he saw the gorgeous Charlotte in front of the mirror.When Charlotte called him 'senior,' the male actor was no longer reluctant. It wasn't just because he was captivated by her beauty but that Charlotte had a good attitude. Compared to his usual co-star, Jessica, Charlotte was undoubtedly much gentler. Who wouldn't prefer an easy-going co-star?After rehearsing their lines for a while, the male actor was surprised to learn that Charlotte had a strong acting
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 168 If You Choose Her, I'll Go
"If you choose her, I'll go!" In the backstage office, Jessica was crying as she spoke, utterly different from her assertive and domineering demeanor in the afternoon. The play had already ended, and the news that Suzanne had successfully found someone to save the day had spread throughout the theater. Jessica couldn't bear this humiliation and could only complain to the theater owner. The owner tried to reassure Charlotte with words but secretly called for Suzanne and, in the process, invited 'Ms. Wallace' as well.Charlotte hadn't even removed her makeup when she gracefully entered the office, politely shaking hands with the boss. The woman's appearance was exceptionally striking, leading the owner's mind to race as he compared her with Jessica repeatedly.Jessica was keenly aware of the theater owner's intentions and felt threatened by Charlotte's beauty. "This afternoon, I was just joking with Suzanne, and she gave my role to someone else. How can I continue working in the

It was past eight o'clock, and Charlotte sat at the dining table in Ava's house, slurping a mouthful of noodles while listening to Ava's analysis."You and your teacher made a hasty decision," Ava remarked.Charlotte nodded, sharing the same sentiment. When Jessica proposed her plan, Suzanne didn't think twice before agreeing. Ava passed a garlic clove to Charlotte, and the two met mid-air, clinking the garlic cloves like glasses before slurping a mouthful of noodles.Ah—They both exhaled as their cravings were momentarily satisfied before they continued talking.Ava was an experienced professional in the workplace and got straight to the point. "Even if you achieve half of that woman's ticket sales, you won't be able to stay, and it might end up worse for you."Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded. "You're right. Suzanne is a refined person who hasn't experienced the hardships of life. She doesn't understand the situation. She should've thought about it carefully. Why wo
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 170 No Way Out
Charlotte pushed open the door to the dressing room, and the people inside turned their faces toward her, their expressions less than cheerful. However, they all remained silent.Suzanne stood up amidst the crowd, wearing a tired expression. Charlotte approached her and asked, "Ms. Cole, what happened?"They moved away from the others to talk in private. Suzanne apologized and said, "News about the replacement of the actress in 'Looking West to the Capital' has spread, and there have been several ticket refund requests. Two actors in our group have applied for transfer to Jessica's other play."This situation had been within Charlotte's expectations, but she hadn't anticipated chaos before the play started. She glanced around the dressing room and noticed the male actor from yesterday was missing.Suzanne guessed her concern and said, "I think he's already talked to Jessica's side. He hasn't officially transferred yet, but he's waiting for our play to finish. If it fails, he'll smo
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 171 Cut Their Losses
The show began.In the beginning, things were relatively okay. Charlotte took a deep breath, and when she reached the front of the stage, some audience members in the front row left after seeing that she wasn't Jessica. The expressions of the actors sharing the stage with her became increasingly unpleasant.Charlotte maintained her pace, neither too fast nor too slow. The plot progressed, but so did the departure of the audience."What kind of performance is this? It's far worse than Jessica's!""They're promoting newcomers? I'm speechless!""Can you guys keep it down? Just watch the play. Stop making a fuss!"The audiences for stage plays were divided in their reactions to actors. Some focused solely on the quality of the play and acting, while others had developed habits of following a particular actor, refusing to accept any others.Unfortunately, the audience for 'Looking West to the Capital' fell into the latter category. Only one or two out of ten were casual viewers. The
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 172 Storage Room
"Should we start working on a new play?" Charlotte asked, hoping to give Suzanne a way out.Suzanne hesitated for a moment. Charlotte nodded and continued, "I suggest you quickly select a theme. Choose something simple and popular. First, stabilize your relationship with the owner before continuing your war with Jessica."The situation shifted from winning or losing a bet to Suzanne's value. That was what the owner cared about now."I'm an artist..." Suzanne began to argue.Charlotte interrupted her firmly. "You have a group of people here who need to make a living."With this statement, Charlotte silenced Suzanne's objections. She glanced at the room full of newcomers and sighed."Okay, we can work on a new play..." Suzanne reluctantly agreed.Seeing her compromise, Charlotte felt more at ease. She nodded and suggested, "Contact the person in charge of scheduling and see which plays are popular."At that moment, a young actress named Mary Clay timidly raised her hand and said,

Tanya's previous full-length mirror was still usable, but because it was small, she had to walk a bit farther every time she used it.

He suddenly chuckled. It was quite nice.He thought of her, and she thought of him. This winter was truly warm.Tanya abandoned the egg tart and hugged him again. "Oh no, this mirror is so big. There's nowhere to put it."Eli carried her with one hand and moved the mirror to the corner with the other.

Eli found it amusing. He pushed the head of the small money jar and couldn't help but say, "You gold digger! You love money so much, then why did you give the check I gave you to Soraya?"Tanya blinked and chuckled. "I only acquire wealth in the proper way. To be honest…" She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Probably because, at that time, I was just too fond of you like I am now."Hearing this, Eli felt a pang of heartache and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Tanya smiled, moved the gifts aside, and made some space for him.Just as they were about to talk, Eli's phone vibrated continuously. It turned out that Bridget was sending over the detailed preparation process for the wedding.Tanya scrolled through it and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Eli looked at it and also felt a headache coming.

Tanya walked out of the room with her guard down and came face to face with Ted's sneaky expression. She paused.Ted gasped, his brain instantly turning blank.He looked at Tanya, covered his mouth with his left hand, and placed his right hand over the left with his eyes gradually widening.God! This was insane!Tanya regained her composure and glanced in Eli's direction. Eli remained calm, glanced at the fruit plate on the table, and said, "Should we take some down to share with your colleagues?"Tanya nodded. She glanced at the still-disheveled Ted and kindly handed him a tangerine."Sir?"Ted swallowed, looked at Tanya, then at Eli. Finally, he settled his gaze on the tangerine in her hand, mechanically accepting it.Tanya turned to look at Eli. 'Look, you've scared my superior.'Eli shrugged."I'm leaving," she said.Eli nodded and escorted her to the door.Ted followed them out and was sent into the elevator by his boss.

The deep blue bedsheet was neatly spread out. But the two pillows lacked pillowcases, exposed in a sorry state.Eli placed his hands on his belt and turned to look at Tanya. "Is this also your doing?"Tanya leaned against the door frame, only poking her head in, smiling sheepishly."I accidentally drooled while sleeping that day and dirtied the pillowcase. Knowing that you're a neat freak, I took them all off to wash," she said. She raised her hand and swore, "The pillowcases have been washed and are in the cabinet at home."Eli wasn't interested in the pillowcases' whereabouts. He remembered when Amy called him, saying Tanya missed him and wanted to touch the sheets and pillows after waking up.Nonsense!He took a deep breath, then turned his head to Tanya with a frightening smile. Tanya realized the danger and tried to run, but he grabbed her by the waist."Hey, what are you doing?" she said.Eli tossed her onto the bed and followed suit."What are you doing?!""Collecting

Tanya sat upright in the office. Eli stood before her with his hands behind his back. "Come on, explain."Tanya's eyes darted around. "Do you believe me? It's because I missed you too much. When I came to your place, I couldn't help but take away everything related to you." Eli scoffed. "Including the toilet paper?"Tanya pondered seriously.Eli tapped the coffee machine and pointed to the plug that had been pulled out, saying, "If the coffee machine wasn't too heavy, would you have taken that too?"'This brat has no conscience at all. Does she even understand what a cold shoulder is?'While he was reminiscing in her room, she made a fortune in his office!Tanya blinked and gave him an embarrassed smile. "If you think about it from another angle, I love you deeply. If we couldn't reconcile and you came back to see all this, you would hate me. Hate represents love, and love means you can't forget me. My obsession is so deep; I want to stay in your heart forever."Eli fell silen

"You should buy something while visiting. Do you have enough money in your account? If not, I will transfer some to you," Mrs. Moran said on the phone.Tanya didn't want money; she just wanted to hear some advice. She knew her parents' financial situation wasn't good. Due to illness, her stepfather had retired from his position as a butler of the Sterling family. Although the Sterlings provided a retirement package, Mr. Moran was getting old, and he had a son.

After breakfast, Eli called Bridget."Why did you send her a check? Do you have nothing better to do?"Bridget had just arrived home and begun playing poker with a few old friends.She threw out a card, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've met my daughter-in-law! What's wrong with giving her some money!"Eli was speechless."Madam, you came up and threw 500,000 dollars just like that. Aren't you afraid of scaring people?""What should I do? Throw 50,000 dollars instead? That's too stingy."Eli was speechless. Holding onto the railing, he glanced downstairs and saw Tanya ironing her coat in the living room."I almost got dumped because you caused a scene," he joked.Bridget threw the cards while chuckling. "It's good to be dumped. With your unruly behavior, someone should make you suffer a bit.""Are you really my mother?""If you still want to be a good son, hurry up and go through the procedures, live a proper life with Tanya, and try to give me a grandson n

"What did Her Majesty tell you?"Tanya nearly lost her composure, fighting back laughter.Bridget said nothing more as she left with Benjamin, leaving Tanya and Eli to return to the apartment. The journey back was silent, with Tanya deep in thought. Upon entering, Eli halted her at the entrance.Exhaling deeply, Tanya reached into her pocket and withdrew a check. Eli's gaze fell upon it, noting it was only for $500,000. As he moved to take it, Tanya tucked it back into her pocket. On the bar, a spread of breakfast awaited them - fried eggs, sausages, fruits, and vegetables. Despite the inviting display, Tanya's attention was on Eli."Don't you want breakfast?"With the situation still unclear, Eli's appetite waned. Nonetheless, knowing Bridget's nature, he remained calm. Seating himself opposite Tanya, he nibbled at a sausage, noticing her lack of interest."Is everything alright?" he asked, concerned.Tanya shook her head.The oversized sandwich Bridget had ordered had already
