She glanced nervously outside and didn't see Leandro. Charlotte then walked over to the piano and answered the phone, "Hello?""Charlene, are you sure you won't participate in this competition?"Charlotte bit her lip and said, "Forget it, next year!"Upon hearing her words, the person on the other end of the phone seemed visibly anxious. "Are you really not considering it anymore? We really hope that you can participate in this competition! We have already arranged for media coverage for this competition, and you will definitely become famous if you take part!"This was exactly what Charlotte was most worried about. She didn't want to become famous overnight!Charlotte hesitated a little, but still refused, "Forget it, I really can't participate this year, my leg just recovered from an injury."Upon hearing her insistence, the person on the other end of the phone sighed and regretfully responded, "Alright, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime. I will reserve your sp
Charlotte blinked her eyes and then ran over, her gaze falling on the collar in front of him, and then looking down again. "Shall I help you tie your tie?"Leandro raised an eyebrow and lifted his hand with a tie, smiling as he looked at her. "Well then, thank you, Mrs. Romero."Charlotte frowned and took the tie from his hand.She used to think that Leandro was tall, but she never had a very clear perception until now, when she stood in front of him holding a tie.Her naked body was 167 cm tall, which can't be considered tall, but it can be considered above average. However, at the moment, she had to tiptoe in order to properly fasten the safety belt for Leandro.This was her second time tying a tie for Leandro. The last time, she was too nervous and tied it loosely, not at all properly. She wanted to adjust it, but she was too shy and, smelling the woody scent nearby, her hands kept hesitating, so she had to give up in the end.Now the two of them had become familiar with each other.
Charlotte bit her lip and said, "It's nothing, just received a spam message, got distracted and glanced at it."Wasn't the text message sent by Hanna just spam?Hmm!Don't say that Leandro may not have actually bought a motorboat, even if he really did buy a motorboat, that motorboat was not given to Hanna, so why is Hanna being so arrogant?Liz was right, Hanna did want to drive a wedge between her and Leandro!Pah, she didn't want to be fooled!Charlotte collected her thoughts and started a serious conversation with Caroline.Evening.Charlotte sat at the dressing table after taking a shower, and suddenly her phone lit up.The message was sent by Elizabeth: Lottie, has your bitchy rival been bothering you lately?Leandro went to the study to handle urgent documents, so there was only her in the room.Charlotte picked up her phone and immediately sent three question marks: ?Elizabeth typed quickly and soon replied, "I heard some news, but I don't know if it's true or not, so..."Char
Charlotte's mind was in a mess. When she was with Marcus, there was Lydia in between. Now, after recently expressing her feelings to Leandro, suddenly an unforgettable crush emerged.Once bitten by a snake, one fears the rope for ten years.Charlotte felt as if she had returned to that period of insecurity and pain, but now she no longer had the innocence and courage she had back then.If Leandro really had feelings for his unforgettable crush, she would immediately divorce to make them happen.Anyway, their marriage was never a normal marriage from the beginning.Yes, in the worst-case scenario, we would just get a divorce!She let out a deep sigh and tried to deceive herself, soothing her own mind.At that moment, the bathroom door suddenly pushed open, and Leandro, who had finished showering, walked out from inside.Charlotte was both sad and guilty. Subconsciously, she wanted to turn around and face away from him, but as soon as she did, she regretted it.Leandro was so clever; did
"Did Hanna contact you?"Charlotte was despising her own uselessness when suddenly she heard his words, and her whole body froze.How did you know?She didn't say anything!She felt nervous, so her hand instinctively wanted to grab something to relieve the tension.But she forgot that her hands were wrapped around Leandro's neck, and with a grab of her right hand, she accidentally pulled on his damp hair.Leandro didn't hear an answer, and he knew he had probably guessed right.His dark eyes narrowed, and the large hand around Charlotte's waist moved slightly, pulling her closer to his embrace. "What did you say?"Charlotte's chin warmed up, and he lifted her chin, raising her head, and her gaze collided directly with those black eyes.She instinctively averted her gaze and looked at his collar, saying, "You didn't look for me."She spoke, took a breath, and looked up to meet his gaze: "Really."It was just a text message that was sent over.Leandro looked at her and didn't say anythin
Upon seeing Karissa's Line message, Charlotte's only thought was when did Leandro find out that she was Charlene?But it shouldn't have been like that. She had always been wearing a mask during the competitions, and after the competition, she would just leave the scene without participating in any interviews or events organized by the host.It is precisely because of this that, despite being the first place every year, Charlene's fame is only half that of the second and third place players who appear regularly.Even because she didn't show her face and kept a low profile, she had no commercial value, and there were several competitions where she didn't even receive an invitation.The organizer invited her multiple times this time, but it was because last year, when she left the scene, a photo of her wearing a mask was taken by a social media influencer and posted on T*****r, which aroused a lot of curiosity and suddenly increased the attention.At the beginning of this year, that influ
Karissa was afraid that Charlotte would change her mind, so she quickly replied, "Then I will also make arrangements! Let's try to clarify all the previous rumors at once!"In the second year of Charlotte's debut in the jet ski race, there were some very bad rumors in the circle because she was unwilling to show her face.Those who said Charlotte was extremely ugly and therefore dared not show her face, were already engaging in low-level slander.Exaggeratingly speaking, Charlotte was actually a man, because he couldn't make it to the finals in the men's competition, so he came to the women's division to seek attention!And she never dared to show her face, for fear of being exposed and criticized.This defamation is exaggerated. How could the organizers of the women's motorboat race not verify Charlotte's gender!There were so many dissatisfied people with Charlotte that even exaggerated and baseless rumors were believed by many.They were so brazen; all they did was eat until Charlen
She wasn't an internet celebrity or a star like Leandro, so how did she end up trending?And the matter of Leandro's unforgettable crush, besides Hanna constantly bringing it up, no one else was so bored, let alone had the courage to openly say it like this.Charlotte smirked, finding Hanna to be really boring.Did Hanna think that buying such a hot topic would make her feel upset when she saw it?Well, if she wasn't Charlene, it was indeed quite upsetting to see this trending topic!Charlotte was looking at T*****r when Elizabeth sent her a few screenshots.Elizabeth: These few are not water army, I live-streamed doing a headstand and washing my hair!In the screenshot that Elizabeth sent, there were several popular comments, all of which were sarcastic and mocking towards Charlotte.The most liked and commented sarcastic comment: Tsk tsk tsk, indeed there is true love in a flash marriage, but true love is unattainable! However, Mrs. Romero has also gained, having such a wealthy husba
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
