The sunlight streamed into the greenhouse as Griffith raised his hand, but Charlotte grabbed his wrist."Mr. Griffith, please forgive me!"He replied, "I won't let you go.""You wouldn't lay a finger on a woman, would you?""Who told you I don't hit women?""Help, someone!"Not expecting her to cry out loudly, he instinctively reached out to cover her mouth. Charlotte tried to dodge his hand by leaning backward, but her back was against the wall. With her head tilting back, the movement resulted in her head almost hitting the wall.Before he could cover her mouth, Griffith was startled when she suddenly bumped her head, so he quickly extended his hand to shield her from the impact. Charlotte's head rested against a solid surface, and she felt a bit dizzy from the jolt. Looking up, she saw Griffith with his other hand supporting her head against the wall. For a brief moment, they exchanged glances, and an inexplicable sense of ambiguity filled the air.She fidgeted with her fing

Charlotte felt she was already fine, but Mike insisted that she stay for one more day for observation. As for the theater, she couldn't think of a solution, so she could only hunker down and agree for the time being.Around 9 o'clock, Griffith was about to leave. She thought for a moment and followed him out to the door. As he opened the car door, he stopped when he heard her calling him. "Anything else?" he asked.Charlotte asked him, "Are you free tonight?""Get to the point," he replied."Mike suggested I move around the alley for a bit, and I noticed there's a market nearby. I'll buy some groceries and make dinner. If you're free... come over for a meal," she said.Griffith looked at her, and in a calm tone, he asked, "Are you inviting me to dinner?"Afraid that he might think she was repaying a favor, she thought for a moment and said, "No, I'm just thinking of making some food, and if you have time...""I'm busy," he interrupted.She was trying to be casual about the in

At the Wilson mansion, Arthur noticed that Griffith seemed to be in an unusually good mood that day. During the signing, Griffith had even given several smiles to the cooperating party. It was a significant change.He asked the driver, who said that Mr. Wilson had an appointment with his wife tonight. Well, that meant they would have to shorten the meetings in the afternoon. They couldn't let Mr. Wilson be late, or she might leave before he arrived.Arthur was busy making arrangements, delighted at the thought of the promising future.Inside and outside the theater, it was chaos. Mr. Logan was smoking his cigarettes nonstop in his office. He would smoke as he sat, and he would continue smoking even when he stood up. In Suzanne's dressing room, the atmosphere was gloomy.Meanwhile, in Benjamin's dressing room, his agents were having a headache. They couldn't understand why he had gone crazy. After finally deciding to make a comeback, he insisted on making a married unknown woman his

At 5:30 PM at the theater, the thunderous applause filled the auditorium. The stage lights illuminated the entire area as all the actors took their bows.In the center of the stage, Charlotte, dressed in a light-colored dress, stood gracefully. In the past few hours, she had flawlessly portrayed the entire ‘Folding Willow Branch’ without any mistakes. It wasn't until the curtain call music played for Benjamin that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.Beside her, Lucy held her hand, and they both bowed to the audience. Lucy whispered to her, “You acted well today!”Charlotte's heart was pounding like a drum, but her voice remained calm as she said, "Everyone performed wonderfully."As she straightened up, she smiled, her exquisite face radiant under the spotlight. In reality, her gaze was empty, and she hadn't seen anyone in the audience. Despite her request, there were still cameras in the audience, and the flashes were blinding. Without Mike's medicine, she would have collapsed

Jessica had planned ahead. She didn't consider today's successful performance a big deal. She was confident that she had the ability to ensure Charlotte wouldn't be able to perform in the future. In the past few years, many actresses at the theater who might challenge her position had disappeared, thanks to her influence. Furthermore, Charlotte, or whatever her name was, was already married. How could she be from a good background?Jessica had seen men with power and influence, and not a single one allowed their wives to take the spotlight. So, she was certain that Charlotte had married the son of a rich family who had gone bankrupt after their marriage. That was probably why she was working to support herself now and flirting with other men to make ends meet. She was no stranger to female artists trying to start their careers again after a failed marriage.Charlotte had no patience for this kind of childish game. She had played these sorts of bet games enough and didn't want to enga
