Just a moment ago, Caroline was unsure if Leandro would stand up for Charlotte. But upon hearing Leandro say he was going to make a call. She immediately became excited.
"Charlotte, Mr. Romero stood up for you, shall we not leave?"
Charlotte frowned, "I actually didn't really want him to get involved in this matter."
When she left, she had already figured out how to vent her anger on herself. She just didn't expect to run into Leandro right outside the door.
Charlotte had been in the circle for so many years after all. Although she was low-key, her strength and connections were still useful at critical times.
The charity performance this time was personally invited by the chief planner, Gabriella, through a phone call to her.
Gabriella was an open-hearted person, and she genuinely wanted to help those with hearing impairments, so she was upfront about why she was invited when she first made the call.
The main purpose of this charity p
"Actually, I had a backup plan.""Really? What disadvantage?"Leandro said, returning to the car.He sat in the car, the door wide open, looking at Charlotte, "Come over."Charlotte had no choice but to walk over. She was wearing a little dress that day, which dragged a bit as she walked, so she could only lift the hem and move forward.As soon as she settled into the car, Charlotte smelled the familiar scent of wood.She subconsciously lifted her head, and glanced at the man beside her, only to find that he was looking at her.Those dark pupils were staring at her: "Tell me about your backup plan."The air conditioning was on in the car, and Charlotte felt much less hot.She pointed to Caroline not far away: "Actually, I had arranged for someone to notify the overall planner of this event, Gabriella. The call that Caroline is taking now should be Gabriella apologizing."At first, Charlotte found it a bit difficul
"Perhaps this wasn't my merit, it was Lottie's ability."Caroline didn't catch on immediately, thinking that Leandro was being modest: "Charlotte is certainly talented, but she's just too low-key! Oh, it's not always a good thing for capable people to be too low-key, as it invites all sorts of people to take advantage of them."Caroline was simply upset that Charlotte had been bullied. Once she started talking, she couldn't stop. However, she was self-aware enough to ask, "Mr. Romero, am I talking too much? I mean no harm. I just feel sorry for Charlotte.""I also felt sorry for my wife. Miss Xia, if you encounter such situations in the future, you can directly contact my secretary to handle it.""Is it okay? Would this be too much of a disturbance for you?""Do not disturb."Leandro directly handed a business card of Melvin to Caroline: "This is my secretary's business card."Caroline was taken aback, glancing at Charlotte, "I can't
Before Charlotte could react, she was already being led away by Leandro.The car was parked right behind the two of them. Upon seeing Leandro, Gabriella had already made up her mind.They did so much, all in an effort to secure more donations for the organization.Leandro had secured a steady stream of donation funds for their "Melodious Music" organization, it was a surefire win.Moreover, Charlotte's connections and influence were not to be underestimated. If Charlotte was really let go today, the news could be a big deal or a small one, depending on how Leandro presented it to the outside world.At that time, Leandro's attitude clearly indicated that he wanted to demand an explanation from Charlotte.Gabriella made a quick decision, immediately asking her assistant to find the person in charge of the dressing room. She also quickly stepped forward: "Mr. Romero, Ms. Bernard, could you give us another chance? I've already asked my assistant
"Mr. Romero!"Seeing Leandro's face visibly cool, Gabriella quickly spoke up, "Even if we were willing to replace someone, there's simply not enough time. Tiffany is the opening act. If we replace her now, we won't be able to find a replacement in time..."Before Gabriella could finish her words, her assistant hurriedly led the staff in charge of the makeup room over, and whispered in Gabriella's ear, "Ms. Harrington, Bianca Koch's agent just contacted us, asking if we are doing a charity performance today. Bianca happens to be in Aelmere..."Gabriella was such a smart person that she guessed who was behind this matter just by hearing the first half of the sentence from her assistant.For such a large performance, even if it was a charity show, replacing someone at the last minute was not a simple matter.Moreover, the most significant guests of today's performance were none other than Tiffany and Charlotte. Therefore, she let Tiffany open the show
Actually, it was not surprising why Gabriella initially wanted to downplay everything. The scale of today's charity performance was indeed very large, and the stage setting was comparable to the S-level competition stages that Charlotte had participated in.Suddenly changing from the finale to the opening act, Charlotte was quite nervous as she stood backstage preparing to go on.Charlotte performed a revised piano piece called "World of Us" today, accompanied by a dance troupe composed of deaf-mute people, interpreting the world of the deaf. With the touching piano sound, although not intense, it was very moving, absolutely a feast for the ears.After the curtain call, Charlotte subconsciously glanced down at the stage.When she just got on stage, she saw Leandro at first glance. The man was sitting in the middle of a row of seats, his outstanding features and unique temperament stood out like a crane among chickens, and she spotted him immediately.
When Leandro said this, he was standing sideways, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the heat of his breath hit Charlotte's face.In the dim light, Charlotte's face gradually turned red, and her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.She closed her eyes and silently recited two phrases in her mind: Hold on! Hold on!Charlotte pinched her own hand, waking herself up a bit: "Thank you."This was sincerely and genuinely said by Charlotte.She knew that Leandro's appearance here today was merely to support her. Their plastic marital relationship required Leandro to act like a loving husband to her because of today's events, so he could help her out.Charlotte was certainly grateful, but she was also very clear-headed, knowing that this was just Leandro wanting to help her.People just wanted to help her, but she couldn't lust after their bodies. Although this man's body was indeed quite attractive...Realizing what she was thinking,
"Was it necessary?"Was she really that unlucky?No sooner had Charlotte finished speaking than she saw Leandro lean over, startling her, "Mr. Romero, you--"Before the sentence was finished, the person was directly picked up by Leandro.She instinctively struggled, but the man didn't seem to mind. He held her firmly and walked out, saying as he went, "There are so many people here, if you make a bigger scene, we'll be the center of attention."This sentence seemed like a freezing spell, upon hearing it, Charlotte was completely petrified.In fact, Leandro had already attracted attention when he moved from the front row to the second just now. Now, as he left his seat holding Charlotte, it inevitably caused a bit of a stir.Charlotte, unable to bear the sound of the gossip, had no choice but to bury her head completely in Leandro's chest like an ostrich playing dead.By the time Caroline realized, Charlotte had already been car
Elizabeth quickly skimmed through the trending topics, trembling with anger. She initially wanted to call Charlotte, but feared it might be inconvenient for her to answer at the scene, so she had no choice but to send a message through Line first.Elizabeth: Lottie! You need to get online quickly and see why Tiffany's fans suddenly started attacking you out of nowhere.Elizabeth: [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG]Charlotte had thought that Elizabeth was asking about her charity performance. Unexpectedly, when she clicked in, she saw this message. As she scrolled down to see the photos, it turned out to be her trending topic: #CharlottePrivilege#.At first glance at this trending search term, it was not immediately clear whether it was praise or criticism. But upon clicking in, it turned out that all were criticizing Charlotte.Charlotte frowned, clicked in, and scrolled for a while, quickly identifying the crux of the problem.When Tiffany was originally informed that she was n
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
