Charlotte went to the restroom after drinking too much fruit juice.Amidst the hustle and bustle, she hurried to and fro, then encountered an acquaintance at the staircase.When Simon saw her, he seemed a bit surprised.Cursing her bad luck, Charlotte pretended not to care and tried to walk past him.Simon blocked her path and teased, "Seems like you and Griffith share the same sentiment. You both act like you've seen a nemesis when you see me."Charlotte glanced at him and said seriously, "Mr. Lewis, I believe you heard what I said in front of everyone last time, right?""What did you say again? I forgot," Simon said."If you're a man and have a grudge, you should go find Griffith and vent your anger at him. Yet, you're using me as a tool to disgust him. What kind of man does that make you?" she replied.Simon crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "Who said I did it to disgust him?"He casually came up with a lie, a mischievous smile on his lips. "I genuinely feel a connect

The commotion outside the door finally subsided for a moment.With the nail file pressed against her neck, Jennifer was trembling with fear.Charlotte, however, regained her composure. She swallowed hard and turned her head to signal to Ava to watch the window. Ava quietly informed her that a friend from the police station had promised to arrive within ten minutes.Ten minutes… That was too long.Charlotte closed her eyes, contemplating her escape options. Suddenly, a phrase popped into her mind."As soon as my phone rings, I'll come to your rescue."Rescue?Had he known that she would get into trouble when he said that?Charlotte couldn't quite grasp whether this was a deliberate act by Simon to tease her or if he had sensed that someone was out to harm her.Bang! The banging on the door started again, this time completely disregarding Jennifer's well-being.Charlotte realized that the man known as 'Pete' was the one who had harassed Ava before. The men intended to be ruthle

Arthur escorted a woman away as she thanked him repeatedly.Charlotte kept her head low, so she didn't see what the woman looked like, but she was certain that she was Katie's agent.After she stayed still for a while, Simon clucked his tongue. He then bent down and looked at her from below. "Crying, are you?""No way," Charlotte replied.She had sworn long ago that she wouldn't shed tears over Griffith again."In that case, kiss me quickly, and I'll get you out," Simon suggested.Charlotte took a deep breath and, unexpectedly, lifted her head. "Where should I kiss?"Simon was momentarily taken aback. His smile faded slightly, and he straightened up to look at her."No way. Are you that desperate that you would disregard everything and kiss me?"Charlotte sat down and tidied her hair, raising her chin slightly.The surroundings were messy, and her clothes were dirty. However, she sat there calmly, setting her apart from the others. She looked like a swan fallen from grace; as

Inside the car, as a sexy girl leaned in for a kiss, Simon didn't react and instead gestured toward Charlotte.The girl pouted, grumbling a few words, and settled for handing over a drink instead.Simon took the drink and passed it to Charlotte. "Try this. It's a cocktail made with fruit juice."Charlotte sniffed it, suspecting it might be some sort of bizarre concoction. Surprisingly, it didn't smell bad.She accepted the drink and replied, "Can you lend me your car? I want to drive back myself.""No. Haven't you heard the saying? A car is like a wife; it's not loaned out," Simon said.He opened the door after unfastening his seatbelt and said, "Come on."Charlotte remained seated.Standing by the door, he leaned in and peered inside. "What a good girl. Does it really matter? Your husband won't come home tonight; he's quite busy."This comment hit a nerve.Charlotte was indeed upset. She knew Griffith wouldn't return to the Wilsons' mansion tonight. He would definitely be ac

Noticing his gaze, the man who had raised his glass toward Charlotte stood up calmly. "Mr. Wilson, please."Griffith raised his glass but didn't drink.As the man sat down, he continued, "Since we happened to meet each other today, there's another matter that I'd like to discuss with you, Mr. Wilson.""Mr. Browning, you're being too polite."Wade? Charlotte heard the name and recalled who he was.Wade Browning was a well-known director in the entertainment industry, and the film ‘South of South Mountain,’ in which Katie had a cameo, was his work.Wade looked at Griffith and chose his words carefully. "You recommended Ms. Hussey to us before, which was an honor for our company. However, upon further reflection, I think Ms. Hussey deserves a better role. Given her status, she could have greater opportunities."Charlotte was astonished and somewhat bitter inside. After all that had happened, she felt quite wronged.Griffith recommended the role in the movie for Katie. Yet, she had
