“It’s hard to tell the whole story over the phone. I’m waiting for you outside your art studio. Carlie, come and find me.”Charlotte did not reject him this time.The car that Zachary had gifted her was parked on the car porch. She hopped into the car and made a beeline to her art studio.Michael had been waiting for her outside of her art studio, and he was dazzled by the cool supercar that appeared in his vision. When he saw Charlotte coming out of the car, he rubbed his eyes and approached her.“Carlie, I knew that scheming b*tch Tiffany was up to no good. Therefore, I have been investigating her, and today I finally figured everything out. Tiffany, she—”“Michael, let’s go into the art studio first,” Charlotte interrupted.Judging from the fact that the two girls, who had knocked her out cold, and Victor had come to her one after another just after she had arrived in the art studio the other day, she suspected that someone had been following her in the dark. Therefore, she fi
Tiffany looked so delicate and kind, so how was there any possibility that she was capable of such evil deeds?“Well, never judge a book by its cover, Carlie. Anyway, there’s more to come. You still don’t know why my brother hates you and Mr. Simmons, right? This is because my brother thinks that you and Mr. Simmons ordered someone to rape Tiffany!”‘What!?’She had not known about Tiffany at all until the day she gave birth to the baby. It was also the same day she had learned that Tiffany had returned to Rothesay on the eve of her marriage with Bryson and that she had been with him for ten months.Besides, even if she had known Tiffany was in Rothesay in advance, there was no way she would commit such an evil did as well.“Tiffany is my brother’s first love. When she was forced to move to Burasia by her family, my brother was still a poor boy. He had always been feeling guilty for not being able to keep her at that time. Therefore, when Tiffany returned to Rothesay on the eve of
“Sigh! Carlie, you know what? Although Tiffany was my brother’s true love at that time, your willingness to bear a child for a stranger truly touched him. He made a vow that he would completely break off with Tiffany and do everything he could to take care of you for the rest of his life. However, upon learning the things you and Mr. Simmons supposedly did to Tiffany, he—”“Stop it, Michael. I’m over him!” Charlotte interrupted indifferently, her eyes filled with determination.“Can you guarantee that everything you said is the truth? Do you have any proof to support your claim?”“To be fair, Carlie, when have I ever told you a lie before? Besides, there’s no way I would joke about a serious matter like this!” Michael said with a serious and agitated expression etched on his face.“I swear to God, everything I said today is the result of my actual investigation! It’s just that that spiteful woman must be observing me from the dark. Just after I gathered all the evidence, a masked m
Based on the agreed presentation, Tiffany had to “hesitate” for nine seconds to whet the audience’s appetite before making a decision.Then, a clear, resounding voice rang from the loudspeaker. “If you’re going to hesitate so much, I’ll sing with you.”Tiffany’s expression immediately stiffened.‘Charlotte Simmons! I’ll never forget that woman’s voice!’Tiffany turned toward her in shock. As expected, she saw Charlotte walking toward her.‘Wait! The stage is crawling with security. How’d she manage to get all the way up here? One more thing. That microphone she’s using isn’t a stage microphone. How’d she manage to connect that to the public address system?’The thousands of people in the audience were instantly silenced. Everyone stared in shock at the woman who had appeared out of nowhere.“I thought you loved every single one of your fans, Miss Tiffany? I thought you’d welcome any fan who wanted to sing with you onstage with open arms? I’m a fan too… but you don’t seem very
Zachary, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Charlotte, who could be seen on stage from a distance. He curled the corners of his lips into an angle, feeling intrigued. “She wouldn’t be my wife if she hadn’t done this.”‘What?’Lucas widened his eyes into the shape of lightbulbs. “But… Sir, what if Mrs. Connor does go viral? Who’s going to deal with…”“She has me.” Zachary’s handsome face was calm, and his voice was sublime yet indolent.“Let her do whatever she wants. I don’t even care if she ends up going viral. Why should you?”‘Uh…’ Lucas gaped.So, not only was Zachary prone to jealousy when it came to his wife, but he enjoyed cleaning up her messes too!‘Why haven’t I seen that side of him before?’The security personnel backstage had initially planned on escorting Charlotte, the gatecrashing fan, off stage. However, when Tiffany readily agreed to sing with Charlotte, they changed their minds.Charlotte and Tiffany were going to sing a song called “A Medi
“What are you waiting for? Turn on the music. Let’s karaoke.”“There’s no rush!” Charlotte, who had been standing shoulder to shoulder with Tiffany, facing the audience, suddenly turned around and looked at Tiffany. At that moment, her gaze sharpened. “I have a rule for this karaoke contest. You have to promise me that if I win, I’ll ask you three questions in front of your legion of fans, and you’ll have to answer me truthfully.”Tiffany was in shock.‘He he…’If everything had gone according to plan, Charlotte would have avoided Bryson and Tiffany like the plague, as she’d severed all ties with him. Thus, from the moment Charlotte had arrived, Tiffany had known that Michael must have told Charlotte the truth and she must have come to seek vengeance. However, she was not afraid.Bryson had spent a lot of money on a famous composer to compose the song “A Medieval Odyssey” for Tiffany. It had been tailor-made for her to ensure her rise to stardom. It was also the song that she wa
The song’s melodious tune began playing in the concert hall once again. Naturally, Tiffany, the host, was the first to sing.It was an artistically beautiful version of “The Medieval Odyssey”. After Tiffany finished singing, the artificial intelligence system gave her performance a 97% rating. The applause was thunderous. Tiffany silently heaved a sigh of relief too. She might be the original singer of The Medieval Odyssey, but singing in a recording studio and live in concert were two different things. In a recording studio, she could always re-record the song if she sang it wrong, and they could retouch the audio too. In concert, she only had one chance. A mistake was a mistake.Therefore, Tiffany’s highest score in the system whenever she’d sung this song in karaoke lounges had been 96%. To her surprise, she had surpassed that score today.‘Well, it’s just Charlotte’s dumb luck! 97%! That’s an unsurpassable rating!’Charlotte, an inexperienced outsider who had never trained
In order for Charlotte to surpass Tiffany’s rating, she had to be perfect from start to end. Otherwise, he’d still have to be ready for her…Zachary would listen to music from time to time to relieve stress. Thus, he was usually quite relaxed whenever he listened to music.However, for the first time ever, Zachary felt like a rubber band being stretched further and further as he listened to every second of this song.Every lyric that Charlotte sang tugged at his heartstrings… This was not because of how beautiful her voice was, but because he was worried that she would make a mistake.Finally, she reached the end of the song.The rating system automatically flashed a 99% rating.The enormous Midsummer Plaza contained more than 3,000 spectators. Every single one of them was silent.Tiffany stared in a daze at the rating on the big screen. Her already sickly, pale face was now even paler than ever.“Oh my god! 99%! She’s actually received more than a 90% rating! No one expected h
