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
Charlotte was truly angry, even more so than when she was initially mocked by Lydia online.She started learning the piano at the age of four, and her achievements today are the result of her talent and hard work.During my senior year of high school, in order to balance my studies, I went to bed at midnight every night and woke up at five in the morning to practice the piano.Even when she had achieved fame and success, she never practiced less than 30 hours a week. Whether she was performing or competing, she never let up.She had worked so hard to climb up step by step in the field she loved, but now people were saying that all her honors were bought with money, that she was desperate for fame, and even dared to pick a fight with Tiffany.Had they criticized her character or accused her of behaving improperly today, she wouldn't have been so angry.But with just a few casual words, they negated her twenty years of hard work and sweat, even comparing her prided talent to cotton-pick
Charlotte retracted the finger that had just brushed past her lips, always feeling as if the touch of a man's lips still lingered on her fingertip.She pressed her palm with her finger, looking at Leandro, and nodded, "I've made up my mind, but for this matter, there's no need to bother Mr. Romero."She had just spoken to Leandro like that, but she was not actually seeking help.She wasn't so weak as to be bullied like this, with people stepping on her nose and face, and she couldn't even make a bit of a counterattack.She said so, partly because she was genuinely angry, and partly to give Leandro a heads-up.After all, the incident had gone online, so most of the Romero family probably knew about it.This "Mrs. Romero" might not be able to maintain her "dignity" and continue to bear it for the sake of preserving the face of the Romero family.Just as she finished speaking, the man's eyes evidently softened a lot, "Since you can handle it, then I won't interfere."Charlotte clearly fe
Joyce's words served as a wake-up call for Charlotte, who had a vague feeling that her actions were related to Leandro's bad mood.However, she was anxious to deal with things online, so she planned to go find Leandro after she finished calling Caroline.But before she could make the call, another message from Elizabeth came in.Elizabeth: Lottie, it's flipped! It's flipped! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Tiffany is going to get scolded to death this time!Elizabeth: Impressive, even Master Albert came out to back you up!Elizabeth: [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG] [Picture.JPG]Charlotte clicked directly into the picture Elizabeth posted and found that in the short half hour of the return journey, the online public opinion had suddenly reversed by a large margin.And the so-called reversal that Elizabeth mentioned was because Master Albert, a nearly retired veteran in the entertainment and music industry, suddenly spoke up for her on Twitter.Who was Master Albert?Master Al
However, this thought only flashed through Charlotte's mind for a moment.The crux of the matter was not really about whether she was capable or not, but rather that Tiffany was kicked out of the charity performance today.Charlotte immediately called Caroline. As soon as she dialed the number, Caroline picked up the next second.Clearly, Caroline was also planning to approach Charlotte to resolve this matter.In the morning, Caroline was quite upset. Later, Leandro avenged Charlotte, fought fire with fire, and kicked Tiffany out of the charity performance with magic. Only then did Caroline finally calm down.Just didn't expect that, not long after this anger subsided, it was provoked again.Caroline was no less angry than Charlotte. They were of the same age, and although Caroline was both Charlotte's assistant and her "agent", she had always listened to Charlotte.Years ago, when a bunch of olive branches were thrown from the entertainment industry, Caroline was tempted. But when Ch
"There was no need for that.""Hmm?"Upon hearing her words, Caroline became a bit stressed, "You're not possibly still thinking of leaving a way out..."Charlotte chuckled, "No, it's just that I probably can't stomach the tea she pours. Having her apologize publicly would be enough."Every additional glance at Tiffany seemed to bring Charlotte bad luck."You're right! I hung up, Lottie is waiting for my good news!"Caroline gritted her teeth and bravely hung up the call.Charlotte glanced at the "Call Ended" on her phone and couldn't help but reflect. She wondered if she had been too modest in the past.After careful consideration, Charlotte realized that she had indeed been too low-key in the past.Alas, they were all mistakes made in my youth.Charlotte sighed, no longer reflecting.She didn't need to worry about this matter anymore, she was well aware of Caroline's capabilities. She believed it wouldn't
"Why did you suddenly apologize?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his long legs drew in a bit. He changed his position, propping his elbows on his thighs, and leaning slightly forward. This movement by Leandro instantly closed the distance between them.Charlotte only felt the familiar scent of wood directly sweeping over her, the man's presence directly and dominantly enveloping her. She subconsciously wanted to move back, only to realize that she was sitting on the edge of the sofa.Miscalculated.After steadying her emotions, Charlotte finally spoke, "This incident has been blown out of proportion, causing you some negative impact. I'm sorry."This was the only reason she could think of for Leandro being angry."This kind of thing, it didn't affect me much."Leandro looked at the embarrassed Charlotte in front of him, and the frustration in his heart suddenly dissipated.He lowered his gaze,
Leandro was amused by her determined and eager appearance, "I haven't unbuckled my seatbelt yet.""Ah? Oh, then I helped you solve it!"Charlotte blushed, loosened her grip, and bent over to fasten the seatbelt.With a click, the seatbelt released from Leandro's body and retracted.She straightened up and pulled him back: "We flipped in from the side."Upon hearing her words, Leandro's eyebrows twitched, "Mrs. Romero seems familiar."Charlotte glanced at him guiltily and said, "I guessed."In fact, during her student days, Elizabeth used to come to the cemetery when she was being bullied by her stepmother.At first, she didn't know that Elizabeth had come over here until one night when she had a fight with her dad and ran away. Charlotte looked for her in many places but couldn't find her. She was getting desperate and was about to call the police when she suddenly remembered West Cemetery.So she asked Greyson to bring
Charlotte was being led by Leandro towards the exit. Just before they reached the hall, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it a bit impolite for us to leave like this?"Marco didn't like her, but basic courtesy and manners were still necessary.Anyway, he was Leandro's biological father, that's just an undeniable fact.Upon hearing her words, Leandro paused and looked at her with a faint smile, "Mrs. Romero is right, it was indeed a bit impolite."He said, holding her hand, they changed direction and walked towards Marco standing on the side of the stage.Marco was already angry, but his face improved slightly when he saw Leandro turning back.To my surprise, Leandro spoke up and said, "Dad, we have something to do, so we're leaving first."Charlotte quickly spoke up, "Sir Romero, we are leaving now."Marco's face, which had just brightened up, now looked unpleasant again. "Since you're so busy, don't come next time."He sai
She just raised her hand and touched her earlobe, and suddenly felt a rush of heat, followed by Leandro's deep voice sounding in her ear, "I also like Mrs. Romero."Charlotte's ears were originally just turning red, but upon hearing her words, both of her ears turned red, and her face became even hotter.Although she has become much thicker-skinned now, when Leandro said such things to her in public, she still couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.Not far away, Marco had already taken the stage.Charlotte looked at it, but her attention was not there at all.Leandro leaned in close, his breath hitting her neck, hot and ticklish. Her mind was buzzing with warmth, with only his words from a moment ago.Because of Leandro's words, she didn't hear what Daisy said to her.After Daisy finished speaking, she went to find Carlo with Diana. It was only then that Charlotte came to her senses and waved her hand gently at her.The l
Charlotte met Daisy's parents today and only then did she find out that Daisy's personality of liking to give things to people is similar to someone's.After Carlo left with the acquaintance from the mall, there were only Diana, Daisy, and her left here.Charlotte had been thinking about whether she would delay Mr. and Mrs. Clements and their acquaintances in greeting, but she didn't expect that as soon as Carlo left, Diana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, he's gone. Having a big man like him here really affects us!"Daisy hummed and nodded, "Exactly, Dad also likes to say empty words. Just now, Lottie could barely keep up with the conversation."Diana took Charlotte's hand and said, "Ms. Bernard, Daisy calls you Lottie. Do you mind if I also call you Lottie? You don't have to pay attention to what Daisy's dad said. He's just been in the business world for too long and likes to put on airs."Charlotte frowned and said, "It's okay, Dian
Daisy gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "Green tea man!"How did she not know that Leandro was so two-faced before?Charlotte didn't hear what Daisy said clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Daisy, what did you just say?"Daisy naturally didn't want Charlotte to focus her attention on Leandro again. "It's nothing, I'll take you to meet my parents! They would be very happy to see you!"Charlotte didn't refuse either, Daisy remembers the events from five years ago until now, which shows that she is a grateful person.The parents who could raise a grateful daughter like Daisy must have been good.Moreover, Daisy mentioned her already, so there's no better time than the present. Let's meet today, which can also fulfill their wishes."Okay."Charlotte smiled with a curved lip and followed Daisy forward.Along the way, many people looked at them, harboring jealousy towards Daisy's and Charlotte's attitudes.Th
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
