Charlotte could tell that Lorraine was the only thing on Jebediah’s mind now. Even though Jebediah was as cold as an assassin, his eyes were overflowing with happiness today. Even the tips of his brows seemed to smile.“How have you been, Carlie?”A clear voice reminiscent of spring water from the mountains rang out from Charlotte’s right.Charlotte quickly turned her gaze away from Jebediah and Lorraine and looked at Garrison, who had appeared by her side.“I’ve been good, Garrison! Actually, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to thank you. Thanks for giving Jordan the green light. She’s helping me take care of Naomi now. She really cares about Naomi. I might not have felt as safe if I had hired anyone else to take care of her.”The exceedingly handsome Garrison stared at her with a gaze filled with such warmth that it seemed like he could melt her.“Are you surprised, Carlie? I treated Naomi like my own daughter over the past four years. If you didn’t mind, I’d personally go
Charlotte, Zachary, and Garrison were the only three people to witness this wedding ceremony.Garrison told Charlotte that Lorraine had sent an invitation to Ivan Larson and Miranda too…However, Ivan had had a huge fight with Lorraine after discovering everything she had done to tear Zachary and Charlotte apart and he still refused to forgive Lorraine. Thus, he did not come to the wedding ceremony.Miranda, on the other hand, had completely cut ties with Lorraine after discovering her true face. Of course, she wasn’t going to come either…It was just as Lorraine had described. This was a very simple wedding devoid of any formalities. They hadn’t even appointed a master of ceremonies.Jebediah led Lorraine down the aisle. Once the pair recited their wedding vows and exchanged rings, Garrison pronounced them husband and wife.Even so, Charlotte could tell that Jebediah was overjoyed.She was suddenly reminded of what Dickson had said to her yesterday—as long as two people were tr
The ten familiar faces were the crew members who had worked with Charlotte when she’d filmed The First Sorceress Princess. The others, whom Charlotte did not recognize, were new employees that Dickson had hired over the past four years.As soon as Charlotte walked in, the group of more than twenty people froze in place. Everyone stared at Charlotte.At least five seconds later, a woman screamed as if Charlotte had been resurrected.“Oh my god! I thought I was looking at a ghost. Carlie. You look exactly the same. You’ve risen from the dead!”Charlotte was mulling over her words when an artistic-looking young man with long hair and black-rimmed glasses chimed in, “Vivian, have you lost the ability to talk like a human out of excitement? Carlie was never dead. She only had amnesia for four years. She hasn’t come back from the dead. She’s proudly returning to the crew.”“Yes! Yes!”“Welcome back our leading lady.”The group clapped their hands excitedly.Charlotte felt warmth in h
‘Hah!’Charlotte laughed to herself.‘That explains why Mr. Barkley was so happy when I put on this dress—I’ve helped the crew save on expenses.’Charlotte’s press conference, when she would announce her return, was set to begin at 7:40 p.m.At 5 p.m, the bodyguards opened the back doors to the building, allowing journalists and photographers with ticket admission to enter. Everyone fought their way to the front row, the best spot for taking pictures.At 7.30 p.m, the bodyguards opened the entrance doors and allowed the fans to come in.The Rothesay News Building was huge but it would only contain 30,000 people. The hall was overcrowded, and the over 20,000 people who failed to enter the building wailed in disappointment outside the doors.Charlotte might have attended press conferences like this before, but when she saw the immense crowd and the excitement they felt, she couldn’t help feeling nervous.Luckily, she had already memorized the script that Dickson had given her. Re
“Miss Simmons, you can’t leave now. We may not see anyone in this light, but what if the fans are hiding in dark corners? We’ll have someone bring the car around. You can leave once your car arrives.”Charlotte laughed.“Hey! It’s not like I’m some sort of international spy. Are the fans going to hide in the shadows to kill me? It’ll be fine.”“But Miss Simmons, it’s better to be safe than sorry… Miss Simmons!”“Miss Simmons!”Charlotte was already striding through the door and walking toward the street.The bodyguards had no choice but to follow her.Charlotte seemed completely nonchalant.The three bodyguards looked extremely grim. They kept a sharp eye on their surroundings, as if Charlotte was at risk of being assassinated at any time.At that moment, the door to the red Porsche that had been parked in the parking lot opened. Then, a voice rang out from the vehicle. “Congratulations, Carlie!”The charming voice, which seemed capable of producing water, belonged to none ot
“Who’s your backer?” Charlotte asked, despite already knowing the answer.Tiffany lifted her face arrogantly.“His name alone would scare you to death. Listen carefully, Charlotte. My backer is the king of darkness in Rothesay, the man whose name can strike fear in the hearts of everyone in the city—Night King!”Charlotte wasn’t scared at all. In fact, she nearly burst into laughter.Then, Tiffany continued boasting arrogantly. “The Night King is on par with Zachary Connor in Rothesay. I’m sure you know that. I’ll be honest with you. Even Mr. Barkley respects the Night King. That’s exactly why he invited me to be the second female protagonist in the sequel of the First Sorceress Princess. You’d better watch out, and don’t you dare try anything on me when we start filming, or Night King will be after your head. Hmph!”She started her car as soon as she said her piece and drove away.All three bodyguards looked extremely terrified.‘Night King! That legendary man is actually suppo
Virtual World!She remembered that she had last visited this place about two months ago.She’d still had amnesia at the time and had stopped by to see Lorraine due to certain issues. The studio had seemed very familiar to her. When she’d eventually regained her memories, she had realized that she harbored deep sentiment for this place…Most of her scenes had been completed in this very studio back when she had first starred in The First Sorceress Princess.It was only 7.30 a.m, but most of the crew members had already arrived.At that moment, a group of people had surrounded Tiffany, chatting and laughing away.The pearl-white dress that Tiffany was wearing was certainly expensive. It was extremely dazzling. Charlotte could spot her from a distance.However, every time Charlotte thought of Tiffany, she would feel nauseated. She frowned and walked around her from the side.Unfortunately, Tiffany cried out, “Ah! Carlie’s here! Carlie!”She quickly made her way to Charlotte, beam
Charlotte curled her lips in disdain.“Oh, Tiffany, I’m going to stop exposing your secrets now. I mean, we’re crew members after all. However, if you ever wantonly claim to be my best friend again, I’m not going to show you the same courtesy!”She coldly swatted Tiffany’s hand away as soon as she said her piece and walked past her.Everyone eyed Tiffany skeptically.‘Tiffany!’She looked like a pure, untainted woman on the surface. Was she really a snake, just like Charlotte had described her to be?Tiffany stared at Charlotte, her trembling hands digging into her skin.‘I’m surprised. It’s been more than four years, and Charlotte still hasn’t grown up. She’s just as reckless, stupid, and stubborn as ever! I made it very clear to her last night that I have Night King’s support. If she had any brains at all, she would fear the powerful support I have and make peace with me. I guess she just doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness… I was nice enough to make the first move by decl
