Chapter266
“Thank you, Mr. Calsis. I won’t let you down.” Marlene responded ecstatically. “So I’ll take the leave now? Please
enjoy the performance…”
She was about to rise when Charlie snapped, “Did I let you go?”
Marlene paused and sat down again, gawking at Charlie. She then tried to find the answer from Theresa, yet
Theresa only
engaged herself in the performance as though Marlene and Charlie were not present at all.
“Make the tea for me.” Charlie gave the order to Marlene.
Marlene hastened to rise and made the tea gingerly before she presented it to Charlie.

Charlie never had the affair with any female artist, nor would it be her job to service him like a maid. Then what was
he up to by getting her to do all these chores now? If Theresa hadn’t been there, Marlene might have the reason to
doubt Charlie wanted to harass
her as the unseen rule went. Yet it was utterly impossible now with Theresa sitting aside. In the end Marlene was
smart enough to realize she was being used as the tool for the couple to vent their anger after a dustup.
As the audience downstairs were cheering at the performance of Jefferson, who was especially hot this year, the air
in the private box only crackled with tension. Theresa watched Charlie as he was getting Marlene to serve him. She
thought she had finally witnessed the notorious relationship between the entertainment mogul and female stars as
the gossip went. She just felt it extremely disgusting.
Marlene presented Charlie the orange she’d just peeled, “Mr. Calsis, please…”
Theresa eventually failed to repress her loathing and rose to her feet.
Seeing her finally making response, Charlie raised his eyebrows, “Where are you going?”
“Just going out, Theresa tried hard to repress her anger, though her voice still sounded quite hostile, “so that you
two could enjoy the next special program of yours better here.”
“Sit down!” Charlie instructed.
As Theresa regarded the man motionlessly, Marlene was rooted to the spot. After a while, Theresa finally decided
to let out her rage in spite of Marlene’s presence, “Charlie Calsis, do you have to humiliate me like that?”
“You call that humiliation?” Charlie twitched his mouth. “Then what shall I call what your family have done to me?”
“What my family have done fd you…?” muttered Theresa in bewilderment.
“Your father, your sister, and even you…” answered Charlie.

Theresa took a gasp, as she couldn’t deny her family was holding a bias against him. “But you think it all my fault?”
she
protested.
Charlie eyed her with a look as though what he did was righteous. The gaze of the couple then met. However
Theresa deemed that unfair to her, Charlie just wouldn’t change his mind,
It was utterly unreasonable to revenge like that, cried Theresa in her heart. She sat down with a wry smile, making
up her mind to play a fool of him since he seemed to be seeking it.
Marlene watched them in a tremble. She exclaimed in her heart what a ruddy luck she had today. She would of
course pick a better day should she know it would be so disastrous. Yet something more dramatic was still waiting
ahead.
‘Marlene.” Theresa called to her.
“What?” Marlene answered.
“Take off your dress.” said Theresa.
