Chapter 1042 Do You Know How Annoying You Are
Charlotte snorted in response. “What''s the point of a swimsuit when you don''t show some legs?”
“Beats me.” Genevieve shrugged.
After taking a sip from the coffee she was holding, Charlotte''s lips curled into a smile. “Nevertheless, I
didn''te out empty-handed from the game. With regards to the two scripts he''s currently working
on, I have cut out all the kissing and sex scenes from them. Also, he''s paying for whatever I fancy
tonight.”
Genevieve almost choked on her coffee before throwing Charlotte a curious nce. “Are you sure?
How can a celebrity like him have more money than you?”
“He doesn''t but is still richer than your man.” Charlotte continued, “Your man used to be so morous
when he had hundreds of billions in assets. But now, how much does he make a month as a civil
servant? Does he even get ten thousand?”
After a momentary pause, she eximed, “Don''t tell me that you have to pay for whatever you bidter
yourself?”
Genevieve retorted, “Do you know that you''re really annoying?”
“As long as you admit that I''m beautiful, I don''t mind you hating me.” Running her finger down
Genevieve''s cheek, Charlotte coaxed with a pout, “Be good now. Just choose something you liketer.
It''ll be my gift to you.”
While they were chatting, a member of the staff approached them and handed Genevieve a card.
“Ms. Rachford, your husband had this sent over.”
Genevieve had barely taken the card in her hands when Armand''s message arrived: I''ve sent someone
with a card over. Feel free to use it. It''s an eleven-figure amount.
Even though she was surprised at how he had so much money, a smile instantly bloomed on her face,
and her mood couldn''t be any better.
Subsequently, she waved her phone screen at Charlotte. “Obviously, there''s no way I''m going to pay
for the things I bid myself. Be a good girl, and I''ll buy you a treasure this evening that will bring your
boyfriend lots of luck. With it, I''m sure he can give you a card with eleven figures the next time.”
Charlotte snorted in response. “Sure. I would be a fool to refuse.”
At that moment, the room began to fill with guests, but there were still a few minutes to go before the
auction started. In the midst of snacking on some nuts, Charlotte inquired, “Why didn''t you bring
Johanna along?”
Johanna? Didn''t we go to high school together? Why don''t I remember that we were close?
The thought caused Genevieve''s brows to furrow.
Just when Genevieve wanted to give a cursory answer, she caught a glimpse of two familiar figures
entering the room. One of them looked like Eurydice, and she was holding the hands of a woman in her
fifties. From thedy''s ck hair and taut skin, it was evident that she had managed to age gracefully.
Noticing Genevieve''s silence, Charlotte followed the former''s gaze and was greeted by the sight of
Eurydice.
She asked, “Why are you looking at Eurydice?”
“Do you know her?” Charlotte''s father was in the real estate business, whereas Eurydice''s was a high-
ranking government official. If Genevieve wasn''t a civil servant, she naturally wouldn''t know Eurydice.
Charlotte exined, “I''ve only seen her before. However, I know thedy beside her.”
Pointing at thedy, Charlotte borated, “She''s Eurydice''s aunt. Her husband is in the international
logistics business and is extremely sessful. Do you know why I know her? Her daughter is a minx
who not only stole my first love but also tried to attack me.”
She had known her first love since they were kids, and both families were also on very good terms.
Unfortunately, just when Charlotte was about to be engaged to him, something unexpected happened.
Back then, she was still naive in love. Infuriated by the fact that someone was trying to steal her
boyfriend, she ordered the perpetrator to be beaten up. However, the girl''s rtives were in the
government, and Charlotte was consequently arrested by the police. During that time, Charlotte''s father

went all over the ce, trying to bail her out.
Those few days turned out to be the most humiliating period of her life. After behaving with impunity for
such a long time, she was forced to apologize to the girl that was trying to steal her man.
Thereafter, she learned that it was he who was useless when he didn''t dare rescue her. Furthermore,
he ended up marrying that minx.
Upon the realization, she cursed him for wasting more than ten years of her life.
In the end, regardless of her desire for vengeance, she knew it was futile to go against someone in
government. Besides that, she felt it reckless to ruin the family business her grandfather and father had
spent their lives nurturing.
Nevertheless, from then on, she never got into a serious rtionship, only engaging in flings.
