Charlotte's hand slipped into his, and she gracefully stepped out of the car.
She wore a custom-made black gown, elegant yet understated. Her long, wavy hair cascaded over her
shoulders, and the only accessory she wore was a simple pair of pearl earrings. The whole look was effortlessly
chic, perfectly in tune with the thof the evening.
At a charity gala like this, anything too extravagant would have been out of place.
Without hesitation, Charlotte linked her arm with Arthur's, and the two walked into the venue together. A few
reporters caught sight of them walking hand in hand and quickly snapped a picture.
The lighting highlighted them perfectly, casting a soft glow that seemed to hint at sunspoken fate between
them. The moment felt surreal, and anyone watching couldn't help but be captivated.
Inside the grand banquet hall, guests gathered in small clusters, chatting and catching up.
As soon as Arthur entered, all eyes were on him. It didn’t take long for a crowd to form around him, eager to get
his attention.

The gala would feature a charity auction, with priceless antiques and treasures up for bidding. All proceeds
would go to the charity fund.
Before the auction began, a violinist played on stage, the soft melody filling the air and adding to the
sophisticated atmosphere.
After mingling for a while, Charlotte started to feel bored. Luckily, Arthur released her hand and said. “Why don’t
you go take a break?”
She smiled faintly, nodded, and turned to leave.
A nearby guest commented, “Mr. and Mrs. Harrison really are a perfect couple.”
“Yeah, they're definitely a match made in heaven.”
Charlotte's smile faded slightly.
Five years ago, after that incident, these speople weren't so kind.
“Wow, the Hardwick family’s daughter is actually this shameless?”
“Honestly, | didn’t see it coming. She looks so innocent, but all she cares about is marrying up.”

“We should stay away from women like her. Who knows when we'll get used and tossed aside?”

Charlotte picked up a few pieces of fruit and sdesserts from the buffet and headed to the rest area.
Just as she sat down, someone approached her. “Aren’t you supposed to be getting a divorce from Arthur? Why
are you here with him? Are you having second thoughts?”
It was Sophia, wearing an extravagant designer gown that sparkled with jewels. She was already beautiful, but
tonight, she looked every bit the part of a high-society diva.
“None of your business.”
Charlotte didn’t even glance at her, calmly eating her fruit without a word.
Sophia smirked. “I knew it. A woman who goes through all that just to catch a rich guy like Arthur isn’t going to
let him go that easily. You're just pretending, aren’t you? So tacky.”
Charlotte finally looked up, her eyes cold as she met Sophia’s gaze. “What gives you the right to judge me?
You're openly chasing after a married man, and you think you're skind of

saint?”
Sophia's expression faltered.

Charlotte's voice was sharp. “Apologize. Or Ill just do what you want and call off the divorce. Then I'll tell Arthur
how you've been bullying me. You think he won't do something about it?”
A mocking smile tugged at the corner of her lips. “What, do you think he'll just let you off the hook? Maybe cut
off all your
contracts?”
She couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Sophia clearly had a short
memory.
It seemed the lesson Charlotte had taught her before wasn’t enough.
In such a public setting, Sophia had to keep her cool, but Charlotte could see her fingers tightening around her
wine glass.
“Dream on!”
