Chapter 7 Worn Pair Of Shoes

"Why aren’t you following the rules? I’ll call security if you don't leave!" The usher and Charlotte had come to a standstill.

At that moment, a light voice was heard from somewhere. "Is the usher so blatantly ignorant that he didn’t even recognize the most wanted socialite in Rothesay?"

The usher, who had grabbed Charlotte's right arm, let go. Even before he heard that, he had actually been able to tell that although Charlotte was wearing shabby clothes, her face was delicate and beautiful. The aura she emitted was gentle and elegant.

Was she really the most wanted socialite in Rothesay? Was she Miss Simmons?

Was she the poor woman who had been dumped by Mr. Harper right after delivering a baby?

"Put Charlotte’s name on my invitation and let her in."

It was Sarah Collins, the eldest daughter of the Collins Family, who was also a top model living in Rothesay.

Sarah was outstanding, but Charlotte was better than her. People often compared Sarah to Charlotte.

Some people even said that if it were not for Charlotte, Sarah would be the most popular woman in Rothesay.

Hmph!

Now that the Simmons Family had fallen and Charlotte had been dumped by Bryson, could she still be the most wanted socialite? Today, Sarah wanted to show everyone that she was the one who deserved the title of the most wanted socialite in Rothesay!

Charlotte took a quick glance at Sarah before walking straight into the lobby.

"The whole town of Rothesay has heard that Bryson kicked you out of the house after you gave birth to a child. I wonder... If your child hadn’t died, would you have used that child to tie Bryson down for the rest of your life?"

Sarah's sarcasm made Charlotte stop in her tracks. The corners of her mouth lifted as she said without looking back, "This has nothing to do with you."

Hah...

There was a flash of disdain on Sarah's beautiful face.

Before they realized it, Bryson was already in the lobby. However, he had not come alone. There was a frail, gentle woman by his side. People had heard that Bryson had dumped Charlotte for that woman.

Sarah "kindly" helped Charlotte in just to see how much Charlotte would be humiliated.

The lobby was as magnificent and luxurious as a palace. Everyone was dressed glamorously, so Charlotte, who was wearing a hospital gown, caught everyone’s attention when she appeared there.

"Ha! Is this who I think it is? Isn't this the well-known most wanted socialite in Rothesay? Why is she here instead of being confined in the hospital?"

"Isn’t it obvious? She just got dumped by Bryson, so she naturally came out here to find another potential man!

"Just look at her. She’s in really good shape even though she just gave birth. Anyone would want a woman with a body like that, right?"

In other words, they were implying that Charlotte was just a pretty face with a nice body.

"Pfft! I don’t agree. She used to come from a wealthy family, but now that the Simmons Family has fallen, does she think she can still act like a princess? Besides, she got married and gave birth to a child. She’s basically a worn pair of shoes. How much do you think she’s worth?"

"Hey, did you hear? Her child died right after she was born. That’s so unlucky. No wonder Bryson didn’t want her anymore. She’s bad luck..."

Those women had always been envious of her, but Charlotte had always been a righteous person, so they had never caught her doing anything wrong.

Now that they finally had the opportunity, they gathered to badmouth Charlotte.

Charlotte turned a deaf ear to their sarcastic remarks. Her gaze had never left Bryson, who was standing by a fountain.

Bryson looked stunning and handsome beside the fountain. He seemed as charming and polished as a beautiful landscape no matter where he was. Tiffany, who was with Bryson, appeared even more graceful. She was like a fairy.

Bryson’s announcement about cutting Charlotte out of his life had aroused heated discussions among the upper classes. Therefore, at that moment, almost everyone was watching Charlotte as she walked toward Bryson.

"Tiff doesn't want me to see you again. Haven’t I made that clear?"

A wrinkle formed between Bryson’s beautiful eyes as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"I know what my dad did to Tiffany. My dad was indeed at fault, but he didn’t deserve to be treated like that. The way you punished him was too severe."

As she stared into Bryson's eyes, Charlotte completely ignored the onlookers’ gazes. Bryson was the only person in her eyes.

"Do you really think so?"

Bryson sneered coldly, the corner of his mouth rising.

"Is your whole family that arrogant and ignorant? Do you think that it doesn’t matter what you do to others and you never need to get punished? Do you treat others like an emperor treats his followers?"

Bryson's gaze was so serious that Charlotte stepped back in shock. She struggled to open her mouth. "Even if my dad deserves it, you and Victor have already taken the company from him. That should be enough to pay off the debt he owes Tiffany, right? Why must you send him to jail?"

Bryson's eyes were cold and indifferent, "The person who wants to send Walter Simmons to jail is Victor. It has nothing to do with me."

It really had nothing to do with him!

However, even though Victor was the person who wanted to send her father to jail, he could easily say something to Victor and make him let her father go. However, he couldn't care less and he refused to help her with anything...

Charlotte did not understand. Although her father had initially wanted to separate Tiffany and Bryson, his plan had failed and had not caused substantial harm to Tiffany. Bryson, who had been wronged by her father, insisted on pushing him to his limits.

Was Tiffany so important to him?

"Bryson, my dad is just..."

"Bryce, you guys can keep talking. I'll go back." A faint voice suddenly interrupted Charlotte, and Tiffany turned around as soon as she said that.

Bryson quickly grabbed her, and the coldness that had been on his face while he’d been facing Charlotte instantly disappeared. His expression turned gentle. "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry about it. You can stay with her." Tiffany pushed Bryson away angrily. She bit her lips, which looked like flower petals, with her porcelain-white teeth. Her almond-shaped eyes drooped, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Bryson's heart almost melted as he said, "Tiff, let's go."

He ignored Charlotte and walked toward the elevator with Tiffany.

As Charlotte stared at Bryson’s figure, she could feel a void in her heart. The corners of her mouth trembled before she could make a sound.

"Bryson! Even if you hate my dad for sending her away, can’t you give us another chance after everything I sacrificed for you?!"

As a golden ray and shadow fell on his face, Bryson turned his head and said coldly, "I’ll repeat this one last time. I have nothing to do with you anymore."

Charlotte stood still, left dumbfounded as people stared. Tears streamed down her face, and the corners of her mouth curled up ironically…

The Bryson she loved was dead!

This Bryson was no longer the same Bryson who had cared for her and had been willing to do anything for her!

Bryson held Tiffany carefully.

Tiffany was his first love, but five years ago, they had broken up for some reason. Tiff had gone abroad, and Bryson had met Charlotte.

Initially, when Charlotte had promised to carry a baby for him, he had felt guilty and had actually wanted to make it up to her.

However, the day when Charlotte had found out that she was pregnant, something had happened to Tiffany.
