Chapter 205 The Bet Continues

Author: Escaping Bunny
"Mr. Logan, should we also make a call to one more guest?" Charlotte asked deliberately.

Of course, Logan hoped that when they made the call, Jessica would make a few more snarky comments and perhaps the other guest would decide to book dozens more shows.

However, glancing at Jessica made him think she was about to explode. Then, he remembered that Jessica contributed nearly a million dollars in revenue to the theater monthly. Her birthday was also coming up soon, a day of significant income for the theater.

He smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "No need. You can call later on your own."

Charlotte didn't insist and nodded in agreement.

Logan turned to Jessica and said, "Jessica, you see, newcomers like Ms. Wallace are just starting. The bet you made with Suzanne should be your matter, right?"

Jessica got angry. "Mr. Logan, are you implying you won't honor the bet? If they haven't achieved half of my box office by the end of the month, they don't need to leave?"

    "You did help me; don't say it like that. Otherwise, it makes me sound like a b*tch.""No, it was impolite of me not to give you the heads-up."Charlotte sighed deeply. She couldn't respond to Benjamin's feelings and got stuck halfway through."Go on. I won't disturb you," Benjamin said."Okay..." She hung up the phone.Charlotte let out a long breath. She hesitated momentarily, wondering if she should call Griffith again, but gave up on the idea. She had just called him, and calling too often might annoy him and lead to hurtful words.She put her phone away and returned to Logan's office.She forgot to mention the promotion. Jessica wasn't around now, and there was no one to pressure her. She made her proposal, which was reasonable. Logan said, "As long as you maintain the current viewership, arranging promotions is necessary."Charlotte readily agreed. She now had confidence; they performed well, and the audience responded genuinely. Back in the resting room, Suzanne was unex

    Charlotte had arranged to meet Ava at half past five. When the time came, she tried calling Ava, but the call didn't go through. She became worried. She informed Suzanne that she was leaving early. Charlotte had been to Simon's house before and remembered the address. On her way there, a call came in. She answered, but the other person hung up. Shortly after, another call came in, repeating the same action.She immediately suspected it was Simon. Sure enough, a video appeared below. Charlotte found a chance to open it, and her brows furrowed. Several women surrounded Ava, and Charlotte didn't know what they were saying, but they were shoving around Ava, who didn't dare to fight back.The usually feisty Ava, always ready with a comeback, looked distressed.Charlotte's heart clenched as she sent a message.Charlotte: [If you're at the scene, help out, or don't provoke me!]Shortly after, Simon called.Charlotte answered, "Where's my friend?""Right now, she's probably at the sce

    Michelle's face was gloomy, clearly suppressing anger. Charlotte quickly glanced into the room behind her. Sure enough, she saw Ava sitting at the long table with her head down. Across from Ava was Simon, sitting cross-legged."Ava!"Ava immediately raised her head when she heard Charlotte's voice. Charlotte noticed the swelling on her face and felt a rush of anger. "Who hit you?!""I did. What are you going to do about it?" Michelle's voice came from behind.Charlotte turned around, locking her gaze on Michelle. Then, she rushed forward. However, one of the bodyguards approached before Charlotte could get close to Michelle."Charlotte!" Ava rushed over and hugged Charlotte, whispering, "Let it go!"Charlotte trembled, glaring at Michelle.Michelle sneered. Feeling satisfied, she thought she should have also given Ava a couple of slaps. This past month, she had suffered too much because of Charlotte. Not to mention the recent incident where she had tried to undermine Charlotte b

    Charlotte was taken aback, and Ava gasped. At the door, someone seemed to walk away. Charlotte returned to her senses and pushed Simon away, staring at him angrily.Simon, with his hands in his pockets, stepped back. Seeing her expression, he tilted his head and smiled mischievously. "I lied. I still want to kiss you."Charlotte clenched her fists tightly. Her face reddened from anger. Simon seemed to notice that she was genuinely furious. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, I've collected my reward. I'm leaving."He leisurely turned around, stretching his body as if preparing to rest upstairs. As he passed by Ava, he stopped for a second. Ava was afraid he might kiss her, too, so she quickly stepped back. Simon burst into laughter and left.The room was empty now. Ava rushed up and looked at Charlotte. "Are you alright?"Charlotte wiped her face expressionlessly.Ava handed her a tissue. "Did he leave saliva on your cheek?""Can you leave now?" Charlotte asked.Ava shook

    Charlotte searched up and down, but there was no sign of Ava. She raised her gaze and saw Michelle smiling down at her from the second-floor railing. The more anxious Charlotte was, the happier Michelle seemed."Call the police. Let the police help you find her," Michelle taunted arrogantly.Charlotte knew why she dared to be arrogant. Ava had only been missing a few minutes; even if she called the police, they would not take her seriously. Even if the police officers were unafraid of trouble, it would take a day or two to go through all the layers of security and scour the Lewis Family. Michelle wouldn't kill Ava but wouldn't make it easy for Charlotte, either.Charlotte calmed down and went out of Michelle's sight to call Ash."Hello?""Ash, it's me, Charlotte.""Madam, what's the matter?""My friend is missing at the Lewis' residence. Can you bring some people over?""Of course." Ash agreed without hesitation."I might need to search the entire residence. It could be troubl

    "What are you doing, Griffith?" Nora looked at the people in the room, shocked.Griffith remained expressionless. He sat on the sofa, commanding the room's attention. His gaze swept the entire scene, finally settling on Charlotte. Nora couldn't help but notice Charlotte, who seemed inexplicably important today. So many people were alarmed at the slightest issue she had."What's going on?" she asked again.Griffith, impatient, responded, "Ash."Ash walked over and explained the situation. Nora frowned. "If she's not here, she's left!""She hasn't left!" Charlotte emerged, her tone resolute. "My friend must be somewhere in this house!"Nora's expression soured as she said, "Are you implying that the Lewis family is secretly holding your friend captive?""You may not do something like that, but others might," replied Charlotte.Furrowing her brows, Nora immediately thought of Michelle. Michelle timely stepped forward, holding Nora's arm, and said to Griffith, "Today is Aunt

    Everyone was dumbfounded as Ava was carried out, but Nora's face was the most unpleasant to look at. She quickly looked at Michelle.Michelle's face turned pale, and she grabbed Nora's arm. "Aunt...""Don't call me aunt!"Ava had been pulled out from the basement freezer. After half an hour, she had lost all color in her face. Charlotte's eyes welled up with tears, and she rushed to embrace her, quickly grabbing a blanket from the sofa and draping it over her."C-Charlotte…""Don't talk. Let's go to the hospital first.""I'm fine. I'm just a little cold. I'll feel better after I warm up. You don't need to worry," Ava said, shaking her head.At this point, Ava was still trying to comfort her. Charlotte felt extremely sorry for her."Auntie, you've seen it for yourself. It's clear who owes who an explanation." Griffith's voice was emotionless, colder than the basement freezer.Nora looked helpless. She pulled her arm out of Michelle's grip and said, "I didn't throw her in there.

    After leaving the Lewis family mansion, Charlotte noticed a grand convoy of seven or eight cars waiting outside. Griffith walked ahead and got into the Bentley in the middle.Charlotte had driven her car there. She helped Ava into the front passenger seat and sat in the driver's seat. Seeing her arrangement, Ash hesitated, then turned and got into the passenger seat of the Bentley."Drive," he instructed the driver.Griffith furrowed his brows in the back seat and opened his eyes. Their eyes met in the rearview mirror.Ash explained, "Mrs. Wilson drove her car."Griffith remained silent, his lips pressed together, neither cold nor warm in his response. The driver started the car.Charlotte had arrived early, so her car was parked at the innermost spot. Now, she had to wait for them to leave first. She still planned to take a detour to the hospital on the way. The cars in front blocked her, and she couldn't change lanes despite several attempts. There was no other choice but to ca

    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. Eli had long wanted to replace it.Little did he know, she got rid of many things in the house to make room for the new large sofa for him, including that old full-length mirror."How do you like it? Surprised?" He patted the mirror.Tanya smiled wryly and pointed to the large sofa. "And you? Surprised?" Only then did Eli notice fewer small items in the living room and a large new sofa. 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. Sitting on the sofa, he thought for a moment, then hugged her and said, "Tanya, let's move to a bigger place."Tanya knew he had been thinking about this all along.

    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. The two glanced at each other, sighed simultaneously, and leaned back.After they publicly disclosed their relationship, life continued as usual but became busier due to the w

    Eli being married was shocking enough, but then his wife was hiding right in the office. In the next half hour, Tanya heard wailing from all around.The atmosphere in their office was quite good, and everyone got along well. After coming clean, everyone joked around and teased each other."Nia, don't forget Mr. Ted, he's been cursing at you all along!""Yeah, he's been calling you a fool!""I heard it, I can testify!"Ted was furious and rushed out to hit someone. Tanya followed with laughter.Before leaving work, Amy indeed brought the cake and candies, sharing them with everyone in the building. Thus, the entire group gave them their blessings.From the office to the parking lot, Tanya received blessings. When she got into Eli's car, her heart was still pounding.Eli was happily eating his candy, feeling good. Especially now that he didn't have to sneak around anymore, he even turned the steering wheel effortlessly.Tanya, holding the cake, asked him in surprise, "Were these

    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. As the elevator doors closed, he let out a long

    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. She heard that his son's business had lost a considerable amount of money in recent years. As a stepdaughter, she had already received enough help from them, so how could she ask for more money?During her university days, she didn't ask her family for money. If she could find a part-time job, she would, and if not, she would endure it just to avoid causing her mother trouble."Mom, I don't need money. I have enough."When Mrs. Moran heard this, she felt even more sorry for her.Since her ex-husband was useless, Tanya suffer

    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
