Chapter 395
Cassius chose the seemingly smartest but actually the stupidest solution, which was to escape. But
of course, he failed. Instead, he was caught and beaten up by Zachariah''s men. That was how he
got the bruises on his body. They were also the ones who injected Onyx into Cassius''s body.
Cassius was never the one to lie, so he told Charlotte everything.
As Charlotte listened, she frowned and said, "Where did Zachariah find the courage to do that?
Wasn''t he afraid that you would call the police?"
"Do you think I dare to do that? If it weren''t for you guys, who else would seek justice for me? Even
if I went to the police station and reported to the police, what could I do if Zachariah buys them off
by treating them to a meal? Besides, they injected Onyx into my body because they were afraid that
I would call the police. I took the drug... I could have been in terrible shape if it weren''t for you
guys." Cassius smiled bitterly.
"Don''t be afraid." Charlotte patted him on the shoulder, her expression bing much softer than
before. "I will help you solve this problem, you..." "Miss Charlotte, I don''t want to bother you. This is
aplicated matter. I''m scared that it will cause you trouble, so I hope that I can have a fair
competition with Zayn Kiefer. I think I''m going to take part in the filming of the recent musical,
''Eternal Love''."
"You want to have a showdown with him on screen?" Charlotte frowned.
"That''s right."
"No problem, but you''ll have to wait until the problem is solved. I can hide my identity first, and you
can y along too. But if something happens, you must tell me as soon as possible, okay?"
Cassius smiled softly and bowed to her. "Miss Charlotte, I''ll remember everything you said, and I
hope you can believe in me. Although I''m not that capable, I''m loyal, and I''m willing to be your
pawn."
Charlotte didn''t know what happened to Cassius, but she had always thought that he was quite
pitiful, so she said, "You don''t have to say all these unnecessary words. Film better videos and
make all the fans stand up for you. That will be the first thing you do for me. As long as this is over,
even without me, you can still have a meteoric rise in the future."
"Miss Charlotte, I don''t want a meteoric rise without you." Cassius looked at her seriously.
"I have a husband." Charlotte frowned and continued, "And I don''t have the slightest interest in your
appearance. I advise you not to ask for humiliation."
Ask for humiliation.
The smile on Cassius''s face instantly froze. He lowered his head and said in a low and hoarse
voice, "I''m sorry that I bothered you. Perhaps, you don''t understand the mind of a pessimist like me.
I was already pushed to the edge of the cliff. And you were still willing to help me during times like
this. I want to protect you no matter what. Even if I have to give up my life, I will always stay by your
side. As long as you give me this opportunity, I..."
"Stop. We''re just partners, and I''m only using you. You don''t have to do this. Otherwise, I don''t mind
paying the penalty to you immediately."
"That''s not what I meant. I just want to say that I don''t have any romantic feelings for you. It''s just
sheer loyalty that I have for you. Was Sucky Barnes enamored with Captain America? Was Captain
Marvel in love with Nick Fury? But, they could still sacrifice their lives and blood for their leaders.
The same goes to me," Cassius said as he knelt on one knee and held up four fingers. "I swear."
Charlotte was speechless. She helped Cassius up and said, "You really don''t have to do this. Our
n has seeded. You are a free man now. You..."
"Actually, I''ve always had a question to ask you."
"What''s that?"
"Why did you choose to help me instead of giving up on me?" Cassius was really curious about it.
Everyone chose to give up on him, so why did Charlotte insist on saving him? And how did she
manage to do it sessfully?
Charlotte shrugged and said, "Because the price of saving you is more worth it. Didn''t I tell you
about this before? Do you still have to ask?"
"Is there no other reason?"
"No."
"Okay, I understand now. I''ll continue to make videos. Can... can you ept what I proposed just
now?"
"About being in a team with Zayn, right? No problem. But there''s something I have to remind you.
Since they could do something as outrageous as that, they could easily do something else to you
too. I''ll send someone to protect you."
Cassius nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you."
Charlotte waved and left.

After settling Cassius''s matter, she went back to thepany. However, she saw a familiar figure
as soon as she got off the car.
She would never forget this person for the rest of her life.
"I didn''t expect to meet you here again." ine took off her sunsses.
"Mypany is right here. Did youe looking for me? Or did youe here to look for a sugar
daddy?" Charlotte was sitting in her car. She had no intention of paying attention to her. "If you
know what''s good for you, then screw off. I don''t want to run over you."
"I haven''t seen you in a while, and your temper has actually gone worse. I''m just here to share a
piece of good news with you. Recently, Emerson Corporation had received a new investment. You
all might not be able to witness the bankruptcy that you all had been anticipating."
"Do you think that we didn''t know that you released the news of bankruptcy to lure us into
negotiating with you?" Charlotte let out a sarcastic chuckle and continued, "You were trying to find
out which subsidiarypany is ours, right? So delusional."
"You..." ine was shocked.
Christopher''s n was obviously wless, but how did Charlotte know about it?
Looking at her surprised expression, Charlotte shook her head with great sympathy. "ine, I admit
that you were very smart. But unfortunately, your brain couldn''t cooperate with your n. The result
of being too stupid is that your ambition couldn''t match your n. Don''t worry. I will let you go down
in mes, but not now."
When Charlotte finished, she drove away.
ine stood rooted to the ground for a long while. Only then did she realize that Charlotte was
mocking her. She instantly flipped out. However, what could she do when Charlotte had already
left?
"You can be cocky all you want. Emerson Corporation is in my hands. I don''t believe that you stand
a chance to ruin it!" ine stamped her feet hard.
At thepany.
Peter was investigating what Cassius had said. At the same time, he also found out that Onyx was
a highly potent drug. The individual who consumes it would itch all over their body and also harm
themself. However, because this kind of self-harm would not lead to death, many people liked to
use it to relieve stress. Now, it was one of the most important subjects that the Ministry of Public
Health studied.
Charlotte arrived at thepany. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Peter talking on

Charlotte arrived at thepany. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Peter talking on
the phone. So, she ced a cup of coffee beside his hand.
Peter looked at her gratefully. She only shook her head with a smile.
After Peter hung up the phone, he took a sip of coffee. It was the vor that he liked. He suddenly
felt warmth in his heart because Ms. Emerson and Mr. Fuller made him feel at home.
When he was busy, his phone suddenly vibrated. He looked over and saw that it was a call from
Zoe. He suddenly grinned and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Peter..."
"Where are you?" Peter noticed that her voice didn''t sound quite right.
"I''m in the mall now, and I''m being blocked by some people. So, I''m hiding in the facility now. They
can''t take me away in front of so many people..."
"I''ll be right there. Send me your location."
"All right."
Peter hurriedly asked for leave from Charlotte and Shane. He rushed out of thepany and into
the parking lot. The speed of the car instantly reached its maximum. When he stepped on the pedal,
Peter''s car sped out of the car park as if it could fly.
20 minutester, Peter finally arrived at the address provided by Zoe. She was sitting next to a
group of children, hugging her knees, looking very lost.
Peter wanted to rush in, but someone stopped him. "Do you not know how to buy a ticket at this
age? Besides, this is a children''s yground. Why are you going inside? You..."
Peter took out 100 dors and threw it on the table. The man stopped talking instantly.
