As David was lost in thought, Charlotte had already walked away from him.


    After a while, David revealed a meaningful smile, “Quite interesting."


    Charlotte walked over to Joe, who was smiling at David standing in ce, and his brow slightly furrowed, “Are you okay?"


    Charlotte shook her head, “I’m fine."


    Although David reached out to stop her, she could sense that he didn’t have any ill intentions, probably just trying to flirt with a


    girl.


    “Do you want to leave?"


    Joe, seeing that Charlotte was not interested in the event, suggested taking her away.


    Charlotte hesitated for a moment, “But isn’t this event organized by the Smith family? It wouldn’t be good to leave like this, would


    it?"


    Joe chuckled, “As long as you want to, it’s not a problem."


    He was already tired of the intentional or unintentional gazes directed at Charlotte, as if his hidden treasure had been noticed by


    everyone.


    Although he knew that everyone would focus on Charlotte, given her beauty and brilliance, he hoped that day woulde as


    late as possible.


    Especially... Joe looked in David’s direction from afar.


    Coincidentally, David also looked up, and the two locked eyes across the crowd.


    Charlotte red at him, “Okay, I’m going to the restroom."


    Inside the restroom, Charlotte unexpectedly encountered Wendy.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Wendy also didn’t expect to meet Charlotte, and her face immediately darkened.


    Charlotte nodded slightly at her and was about to walk past her, but Wendy suddenly spoke, “Are you feeling very pleased with


    yourself?"


    Charlotte pointed at herself, “Are you talking to me?"


    Wendy looked at Charlotte, pretending to be confused, and in her mind, she kept seeing the scene of Joe and Charlotte standing


    on the stage together, receiving praise from the guests.


    And what about herself? Due to several previous incidents, her reputation at school had already been tarnished, and even Mr.


    White, whom she looked down upon, had warned her for Charlotte’s sake... Why? Wendy calmly turned and closed the restroom


    door, and Charlotte frowned at her, “What do you want to do?"


    She regretted putting her bag with Joe just now, and now she couldn’t even make a phone call for help.


    She had a vague feeling that something was wrong with Wendy’s current state, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.


    Wendy sneered and revealed the gemstone ring on her hand.


    The edges of the ring’s gemstone were very sharp, reflecting a chilling light under themp.


    Charlotte''s heart sank.


    She didn’t expect Wendy’s ring to be so sharp! “Wendy, don’t be impulsive!"


    Charlotte looked around, hoping to find something to defend herself with.


    “If you disfigure yourself, will Joe still like you?"


    Wendy’s eyes revealed a hint of madness.


    This ring was originally for self-defense, and now it could be used on Charlotte, which was just perfect! Charlotte quickly kicked


    off her high heels, ready to escape at any moment, “I only know that if you harm even a hair on me, he won’t let you off."


    Wendyughed, “I can just say it was an ident, what can he do about it?”
