In the corridor, Griffith took out his phone and checked his messages. As soon as he read the few words, his face turned cold.Eli, who was close by, took a quick glance, read the message, and exclaimed, "Oh."He looked at Griffith's expression and asked, "How did you manage to upset her to the point where even this can't resolve things?"Griffith's face was as dark as soot as he stared at those few words. He seemed like he could almost bore a hole through his phone with his intense gaze. She was paying back her medicine expenses.How ridiculous. Did she really think he needed this money? Moreover, she had already gotten a lot of money from him.At this moment, Griffith's finger swiped across the screen, and he looked at the transaction history of the card he had given her.His heart tightened for a moment. In the few days she had been in Portchester City, she hadn't used his card even once. Going back further, he realized that she had hardly used it at all.She used his card to

"Could Mr. Logan go bankrupt?" Mary exclaimed with excitement.The crowd began discussing the matter animatedly. Charlotte silently thought that bankruptcy might be a good thing; people like Mr. Logan were a cancer in the industry if they continued to operate.However, it did seem a bit too coincidental.Finally, Mr. Silva seized the opportunity to step onto the stage when he noticed the group's emotions had calmed down somewhat."Everyone has been inconvenienced this time, especially the girls in the troupe. On behalf of the theater's investors, I apologize to all of you.""Is an apology enough?""Exactly, it's just empty talk!"It appeared that a leader couldn't afford to appear too soft; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control the situation. When Mr. Logan was speaking, none of the girls dared to interrupt him.Mr. Silva smiled and quieted them with a hand gesture, saying, "The theater management has added compensation terms for everyone. Firstly, the revenue from this for

When Griffith saw Charlotte outside the car, he was also momentarily stunned. He glanced coolly at Eli.Eli winked at him as if to say, "Are you surprised?"Outside the car, Charlotte was still holding something that seemed quite heavy and was hurting her fingers.She quickly glanced at Griffith and then looked elsewhere. If Lucy and Eli weren't unfamiliar with each other, she would have considered leaving Lucy behind and running away.Eli asked Lucy, "Where is the restaurant?"Lucy gave him the location.Charlotte was surprised. She hadn't expected that Lucy would find the restaurant so quickly."Coconut chicken?" Eli looked at the map and asked."It's a Theginnan cuisine. I'm not sure if you can handle it," Lucy replied."It's all food from the same planet. What can't we handle? Get in the car. We're going now," Eli said.Lucy nodded. Charlotte thought about sitting with Lucy in the back seat, but Lucy had already taken the front seat."Lucy.""Yes?" Lucy looked at her. "

"Watch out!" Lucy exclaimed.Charlotte quickly jumped up and leaned toward Griffith. Eli raised his foot and pushed her chair toward Griffith, causing the chairs' edges to collide with a thud.Simultaneously, Charlotte fell into her chair just in time. Still unsteady, she bumped into Griffith. It was all one continuous motion.Lucy, sitting across from them, was left dumbfounded, utterly shocked. Charlotte had just sat down when she bumped into the man's chin. A faint masculine fragrance enveloped her, and their eyes locked. Griffith was also momentarily stunned.Two seconds later, she quickly disengaged herself from his embrace, attempting to pull the chair back to its original position, but the spilled drinks now obstructed it. She felt exasperated; her breath quickened, and her chest rapidly rose.Griffith could tell she was genuinely upset, her arms even trembling. She reacted this way every time she got angry.He couldn't help but feel a bit disgruntled for no apparent reaso

Soraya sat down next to Eli. Lucy, showing consideration, moved to a different seat, avoiding sitting next to Charlotte. Instead, she placed her chair on the wider side of the rectangular table.The table fell into an instant hush, with only the bubbling sounds of the hot pot breaking the silence.Once seated, Soraya tied her hair back, removed her jacket, and settled in. She prepared herself before starting to eat. On Lucy's side of the table, there were beverages, and she poured a glass for Soraya. To everyone's surprise, Soraya looked at the glass and smiled apologetically. "I don't drink this; it has too many additives. Can you pour me a glass of plain water instead?"Lucy hesitated briefly, while Charlotte felt a bit irked. Who did Soraya think she was talking to? This was a restaurant, not her family's villa, with servants everywhere.Lucy was an easy-going woman and was about to get up despite her unhappiness, but Charlotte stopped her with a hand. She had hands of her own,
