As David was lost in thought, Charlotte had already walked away from him.
After a while, David revealed a meaningful smile, âQuite interesting."
Charlotte walked over to Joe, who was smiling at David standing in place, and his brow slightly furrowed, âAre you okay?"
Charlotte shook her head, âIâm fine."
Although David reached out to stop her, she could sense that he didnât have any ill intentions, probably just trying to flirt with a girl.
âDo you want to leave?"
Joe, seeing that Charlotte was not interested in the event, suggested taking her away.
Charlotte hesitated for a moment, âBut isnât this event organized by the Smith family? It wouldnât be good to leave like this, would it?"
Joe chuckled, âAs long as you want to, itâs 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 would come as late as possible.
Especially... Joe looked in Davidâs direction from afar.
Coincidentally, David also looked up, and the two locked eyes across the crowd.
Charlotte glared at him, âOkay, Iâm going to the restroom."
Inside the restroom, Charlotte unexpectedly encountered Wendy.
Wendy also didnât 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, âAre you feeling very pleased with yourself?"
Charlotte pointed at herself, âAre 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 Charlotteâs sake... Why? Wendy calmly turned and closed the restroom door, and Charlotte frowned at her, âWhat do you want to do?"
She regretted putting her bag with Joe just now, and now she couldnât even make a phone call for help.
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong with Wendyâs current state, but she couldnât pinpoint what it was.
Wendy sneered and revealed the gemstone ring on her hand.
The edges of the ringâs gemstone were very sharp, reflecting a chilling light under the lamp.
Charlotte's heart sank.
She didnât expect Wendyâs ring to be so sharp! âWendy, donât be impulsive!"
Charlotte looked around, hoping to find something to defend herself with.
âIf you disfigure yourself, will Joe still like you?"
Wendyâs 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, âI only know that if you harm even a hair on me, he wonât let you off."
Wendy laughed, âI can just say it was an accident, what can he do about it?â
