Kenneth sent many more screenshots, but Marcus no longer had the mood to look at them.Marcus threw his phone aside, quickly put on the seat belt, and drove to the Bernard's home.Charlotte's Twitter account was overloaded. As soon as she tried to log onto it, her phone was stuck on the page.She planned to wait a day or two before logging onto the Twitter account. Anyway, she had taught Lydia a lesson.Lydia often posted sentimental texts on Twitter to live up to the title of "beautiful young author" created by her company. She posted and waited for people to praise her in the comments.Lydia deliberately arranged for trending topics today to disgust Charlotte.Now everyone's attention was on her marriage with Leandro. Charlotte instantly changed from the poorest bride to the most successful company president's wife.Lydia was supposed to feel disgusted today.Thinking of Lydia's irritated face, Charlotte felt an unprecedented pleasure well up in his heart.Her calf hadn't fully reco
Before picking Charlotte back, Greyson told the maids and the housekeepers that when the Gallagher family members showed up, no one could let them in unless Charlotte agreed.Marcus used to be able to enter the Bernard's villa as he pleased. Now he was stopped at the entrance.The weather was not very good. It was cloudy early in the morning. Now it started to rain.Marcus stood at the entrance of the villa. The housekeeper's words made his expression extremely sullen.The rain started quite lightly. But it gradually got heavier.Marcus looked inside the villa a few times and finally returned to the car.There were quite a few missed calls. It caused a sensation on the Internet that he bought a ring for Lydia. Charlotte's marriage with Leandro was also known to the whole city.Marcus glanced at the ten or more missed calls and had no intention of calling back for the time being.He found Charlotte's number and dialed it, only to hear customer service saying, "Sorry, the number you dia
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Greyson had a dinner invitation today, so Charlotte ate dinner alone.Everyone knew about her marriage to Leandro, and Lydia's secret intentions were revealed by netizens.Netizens either envied and congratulated Charlotte or ridiculed and abused Marcus.At around eight o'clock in the evening, Charlotte finally received Leandro's reply on Line.When she saw it was Leandro's message, Charlotte felt so guilty that her hands were shaking. It only stopped when she saw Leandro's reply. "You're welcome. I was just stating the facts."The response was simple, efficient, and direct.He was just stating the facts, stating the fact that they received the marriage license today.Charlotte looked at it and smiled. Her psychological burden suddenly disappeared.She edited another text and replied to him, "No matter what, I still caused you a lot of trouble. Anyway, I am both grateful and sorry."This time, Leandro responded quickly and concisely with just
Greyson paused to take a sip of water and then went on, "Marcus is not the man for you. Even if he apologizes to you on his knees, I won't let you marry him! Besides, you're already married. So, I'm declining...""Dad," Charlotte called out, interrupting him.It was a cry of protest.Greyson felt sorry but didn't stop. "Lottie, what's so good about Marcus anyway? If not for the incident at the intersection that day, you... you would have..."Charlotte knew what Greyson was trying to say. She shook her head. "Dad, I'm not going to forgive him."After a pause, she said in a cold voice, "Marcus said he would apologize to us on his knees, so we let him. We'll watch him do it. After all, he does owe me and the Bernard family an apology!"Charlotte was looking forward to watching the scene.Greyson had wanted to refuse this stupid dinner since he did not want Charlotte to associate with the Gallagher family anymore.But now he thought Charlotte had a point there and he had to go to dinner w
Charlotte tapped on her phone screen. After a moment of hesitation, she texted, "It's about us getting married. I don't think my dad will give you a hard time about that. Tell me if he does, and I'll talk to him."She could understand Greyson's feelings, and she was confident that Greyson trusted her and cherished her.Charlotte and Leandro got married out of the blue. That would inevitably make Greyson overthink. In that case, he would go to Leandro and ask questions.Only then did Charlotte realize that she had caused Leandro a lot of trouble since the day they went to city hall. She didn't want to add to it."Mrs. Romero, you're overthinking."Leandro's reply put a grimace on Charlotte's face.She murmured to herself, "Fine, I'm overthinking it."To Charlotte's surprise, he was not exactly what she thought he was."Never mind. We're going to get divorced sooner or later," Charlotte said to herself.Charlotte tossed her head to shake off those irrelevant thoughts.The Gallagher fami
Marcus realized his slip of the tongue and immediately said, "All right, it's late. Good night."Lydia didn't seem to have heard what he had just said, so she also said good night and hung up.Then Marcus took out a cigarette and lit it.He didn't believe that Charlotte could move on so easily after being together with him for so many years.Unlike Marcus, Charlotte had a good night's sleep.Charlotte checked Elizabeth's messages over breakfast.Elizabeth texted, "Aargh, so what if the ring isn't for Lydia? He can't say that he brought her there to pick a ring for you, can he?"She went on, texting, "Lydia got the worst of it this time and paid trolls to clear her name and portray her as a poor innocent girl. She's so shameless. It will be a pity that she can keep the facade."Elizabeth had never said something so mean about anyone when she was with Charlotte. But yesterday Charlotte even joined Elizabeth when Elizabeth bitched about Lydia. Elizabeth was happy that Charlotte finally p
Marcus threw away the scraps of the document. None of Terry and other top brass, who had just come out of the conference room, dared to make a sound when they saw this.The top brass walked away with their heads down, while Terry, as Marcus's secretary, had to stay.Terry stood there quietly, trying not to get Marcus's attention.But it was hard since he was right next to Marcus.Marcus glanced at him and said, "Give me your phone."Marcus had a grim look on his face. Terry took out his phone and stole a glance at him. Cold sweat broke out on Terry's back as he handed his phone to Marcus with shaky hands. "Here, Mr. Gallagher."Marcus took it, only to find it was still locked. When he was about to ask, Terry went up and unlocked it with his fingerprint.Marcus kept a sullen face and said nothing. He dialed Charlotte's number and called her with Terry's phone.Charlotte answered it quickly. "Hello, this is Charlotte.""Lottie, it's me," Marcus said over the phone.Marcus suppressed his
The Gallagher family took this dinner very seriously. Both Marcus's parents and Lauren came.Charlotte and Greyson arrived at the private room at the last minute, only to be told that Marcus was on the way. Greyson's face darkened and he looked at the Gallagher family and asked, "What does that mean?"The Gallagher family sounded so apologetic when they called Greyson, but now the wrongdoer Marcus was late.Raymond looked very embarrassed. When he was about to apologize to Greyson and Charlotte, the door was pushed open.It was Marcus.After taking a glance at Charlotte, Marcus sensed the tension in the room. He went up and said, "Sorry for being late, Mr. Bernard. I got stuck in traffic on the way here."The truth was that Marcus stayed longer at the port than he had expected. On his way to the hotel, he ran into Lydia. He was worried that Lydia would follow him and annoy Charlotte, so he talked to Lydia for a while. That was why he was late for the dinner.Charlotte helped Greyson t
With Daisy's words, Charlotte also started to remember a little.She had forgotten all about it, it was too long ago.After the competition that day, they could have left after the award ceremony, but the organizers suddenly asked them to record a performance video.She was the first one, so the performance video was recorded first.After finishing the recording, she was ready to leave. If she didn't leave soon, her mask would be taken off by someone.But it was quite a coincidence that day, Karissa said she wanted to film a short clip of herself, so she drove her motorboat to the other side to record the video.Just as she finished recording, she was about to leave when she heard someone shouting from the shore.It was already sunset at that time, and it was too far away for her to see clearly. However, following the direction that people on the shore were staring at, she did see a person standing on the reef.At this time, th
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt an itch on her cheek.Charlotte froze for a moment, her ears turning slightly red.But her gaze shifted to Daisy beside her, who seemed as if nothing had happened, whispering in her ear, "Five years ago, after you finished the Tolujamo competition, you came back and saved someone who got caught in the rising tide and couldn't make it back to shore. Don't you remember?"That night, Daisy really thought that her fate was there. She had never learned how to swim since she was a child, but she had a natural love for the sea.In my sophomore year, my friends and I went to Tolujamo for a trip. We heard that there was a jet ski competition, so out of curiosity, we all went to watch it.After the competition ended, it was the perfect time to watch the sunset. Daisy brought her DSLR camera and climbed onto the outermost rocks to capture the sunset.She was taking the photos seriously and didn't pay attention
Leandro watched as Charlotte walked away before he averted his gaze. He glanced briefly at Marco and then shifted his focus onto Elvis, saying, "Come with me."Elvis felt guilty under Leandro's gaze, "I didn't go, I was busy!"Marissa slapped Elvis on the palm and said, "Go quickly, Leandro wants to talk to you!""Mom!"Are you stupid or something? Does Leandro look like he has something to say to you?He might be in for a punch like this!Of course, Elvis didn't dare to say that.He also knew that his mother was just pretending to be cunning, but in reality, she was just a naive and innocent person."Go quickly!"Marissa urged again.Elvis gritted his teeth and followed Leandro as they walked out of the banquet hall and directly into the rooftop garden on the second floor."Do you have any complaints about me?"Where did Elvis dare to have any objections to Leandro, but he felt annoyed when he heard
Looking at Charlotte and Daisy in front of him, Marco's emotions were very complicated.On one hand, he didn't want to give Charlotte a good face, but on the other hand, he couldn't be cold in front of Daisy.Charlotte was quite clever, continuing the conversation after Daisy's words, if he were to leave abruptly, Daisy would definitely ask for an explanation.Marco looked for two seconds, but in the end, he couldn't cool down his face and kindly smiled at Daisy, saying, "You're thoughtful."This birthday was quite miserable.Leandro, who was standing next to Charlotte, finally spoke after hearing his response, "Dad."Marco glanced at Leandro and said, "You do remember that I am your father, don't you?"Marissa was afraid of the father and son arguing, so she quickly pulled on Marco's sleeve and said, "Marco, it's such a beautiful day, why are you saying these things?"Marissa said, her gaze falling on Daisy, shifting the topic
"Long time no see, Lottie!"Daisy ran over, holding her skirt, just like a gust of wind. She ran up to Charlotte and grabbed her.If she hadn't been holding a glass of champagne in her hand, it probably wouldn't have been just holding onto Charlotte so simply.Leandro glanced at Daisy with a hint of warning in his dark eyes.Daisy glared at him and intentionally held Charlotte even tighter, saying, "I have been abroad recently and don't have much time to meet you. I really, really miss you!"Charlotte heard what was said behind her and her face slightly flushed, but when she saw Daisy, she was still very happy and said, "Long time no see."Daisy indeed didn't contact her much over the past month.Last time she had a competition, she hurriedly rushed there, but the competition had already ended. Daisy insisted on giving her a bag as compensation.Charlotte refused, so she had to choose a regular bag. Before she returned to Aelme
Watching her guilty look, Leandro chuckled lightly and reached out to touch her, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry, if he kicks you out, I'll walk with you."He said, pausing for a moment, "Moreover, he probably won't ask you to leave tonight."Charlotte heard what he said and thought he was just comforting himself. "But what if he really kicks me out? If you go with me, it would be so embarrassing with all the guests watching, right?"Anyway, today was Marco's sixtieth birthday.Most of the guests tonight were influential figures, and if Leandro angrily left with her...Hmm, that scene was too outrageous, she couldn't even imagine it."It wasn't us who was embarrassing."He laughed, speaking in a casual and indifferent manner, as if he didn't care about Marco at all.Charlotte was taken aback: "Okay."She still believed in Leandro.As they were chatting, the car had already driven into the hotel's entrance.
Charlotte was "dismissed" by Greyson when it wasn't mealtime this time, so she had to leave after sending him to the ward.The hospital parking lot was a bit confusing, and Charlotte was worried that she wouldn't be able to find her way and was afraid to enter through the exit of the inpatient department.She had no choice but to walk along the same path she had come from, heading towards the outpatient department, and entering through the exit of the parking lot over there.It was quite a coincidence.When I came, I met Adan and Paola, they were leaving at that moment, and then I ran into them again.Paola, at this time, had clearly cried and was following behind Adan with a resentful expression on her face.Charlotte didn't want to provoke them, so she took a quick glance and averted her gaze. Subconsciously, she slowed down her pace, intending to wait for them to leave before continuing to walk to the parking lot.I didn't want Pao
Charlotte had no idea that she had just greeted Adan, and Paola and Adan, the two siblings, immediately started arguing.She had no intention of getting to know either of these two people on a deeper level, after all, one was of the opposite sex and the other was a meddlesome character.After walking a distance from the outpatient department, Charlotte finally found the building where Greyson was admitted.At that time, the elevators were crowded with people. She waited for two elevators and decided to take the stairs to the fifth floor.Just as Charlotte stepped out of the elevator and turned into the corridor, she saw Orion standing outside the ward door.Charlotte was somewhat surprised and walked quickly over, saying, "Orion, why are you standing here?"When Orion saw Charlotte, he looked up at her, hesitating to speak.Seeing Orion's reaction, Charlotte immediately realized that something was wrong.She glanced into the wa
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief only after receiving Elizabeth's message. If she didn't reply soon, Charlotte planned to drive over and check the situation.She lowered her head and looked at the message Elizabeth replied in Line, raising her eyebrows slightly.Strange.When did Elizabeth become so quiet?Charlotte felt something was off, but couldn't figure out what was wrong at that moment.She put away her phone and decided to go to the hospital to see Greyson.The hospital was crowded on Friday, and Charlotte had a hard time finding a parking space.Charlotte was not very familiar with the parking lot of this hospital, so she had to go around in circles before finding the exit.I went out but found that it was not the exit of the inpatient department, but the exit of the outpatient department.She had just confirmed the direction of the hospital ward when she turned around and saw a familiar face.Adan loo
