MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Kaiden reluctantly sat back in the car after his mommy got off and left.

"Why not tell Miss Schultz that your dad did help?" Louis looked back.

"Daddy said, I can't tell mommy, or I'm not allowed to see mommy for a month." Kaiden pouted helplessly. He didn't know what his daddy was thinking. 

What a good chance! Why didn't daddy let mommy know he was the one who helped her? In this way, mommy would certainly be moved and left Uncle Rival!

Katrina took out her cell phone and dialed a number as she stepped down the steps in front of the exhibition center.

"Hello? Katrina?" A soft female voice answered.

"Charlotte, I'm sorry, that bitch advanced to the finals," Katrina said heavily.

The girl on the other side of the phone was Charlotte.

Katrina and Charlotte were college alumni. Although they were not in the same major, they were close friends.

Katrina knew that her best friend had a crush on Dylan Sterling, and she also knew that Sterling had had another woman called Savannah beside him.

She didn't expect to meet her best friend's rival in love in the competition. When she learned that Savannah Schultz, who was highly rated by the jury, was exactly the same woman who grabbed her best friend's man, she immediately told Charlotte.

Charlotte was speechless for a long time when she learned that Savannah showed again. 

Katrina volunteered that she would try to drive Savannah out, both for Charlotte's sake and, more or less, for her own sake. Savannah's work was highly praised by the jury. If she could get rid of her, she would have a better chance of winning the first.

Today, in the backstage dressing room, she slipped her sapphire necklace into Savannah's used fitting room after Savannah left it.

A thief would surely be treated with contempt, and by Elliott's close relationship with her family, she believed that Elliott would stand by her side and disqualify Savannah from the contest.

Unexpectedly, it failed.

When Charlotte heard what had happened in the contest today, she didn't speak for a long time.

Katrina could tell that her best friend was disappointed. 

"Elliott and Professor Bowden had already decided to remove that bitch from the competition... I don't know what happened, but Elliott changed her attitude and corrected herself, saying that it was just a mistake and warning us not to talk about it. Charlotte, I'm sorry... I wanted to give that bitch a lesson, but I didn't succeed."

"How could the jury suddenly change her mind?" asked Charlotte, frowning.

"God knows. Elliott was clearly angry and determined to disqualify the bitch... As you know, Elliott is the chief of the jury who has absolute power in this contest. If she decided, no one could stop her. I don't know why, but she changed her mind at last." Katrina sounded upset.

"Did Elliott meet anyone after she decided to disqualify Savannah?"

"You mean... Dylan Sterling heard about what happened in the dressing room and called Elliott?" Katrina immediately understood. But she didn't know Mr. Sterling had actually come to talk with the jury in person.

"Besides that, I can't think of another reason for the sudden change of the jury's attitude." Charlotte narrowed her eyes. 

Katrina gasped. As far as she knew, Savannah disappeared three years ago, but Dylan Sterling was still paying so much attention to her when she came back after three years, and that he even helped her out personally when she was in trouble.

"I don't think Mr. Sterling has anything to do with that bitch..." Katrina noticed Charlotte's silence and tried to comfort her. "She disappeared three years ago. If Mr. Sterling wanted to find her, he would have found her very early, but he did not send anyone to look for her." 

However, that was not a comfort to Charlotte. 

Dylan hadn't seen Savannah for three years. But he never gave up on her. Once she came back, he cared about her and protected her as much as possible.

After the phone call with Katrina, Charlotte sat on the sofa and thought for a long time. 

Finally, she seemed to make up her mind. 

"Pack my bags and book the fastest flight to LA!" She stood up and ordered the maid beside her.

The maid nodded and was about to start packing when there came a knock on the opened door, and Lionel came in. 

"Lionel…" Charlotte took a breath when she saw her brother coming.

"You're going to LA? For Dylan?" Lionel stared at his sister with a frown.

"I..." Charlotte bit her lip, "Savannah came back. I couldn't stand to see her be with Dylan again... I can't help it. I must go to LA..."

Lionel's eyes twinkled slightly when he heard that Savannah, who had been missing for three years, had returned. 

"For what? For a man who's not into you? Charlotte, wake up. Did you forget how Dylan treated you these years? Dylan didn't accept you even though Savannah disappeared three years ago. How could he accept you after she came back again?" Lionel didn't want to hurt his sister, but he couldn't see her make any more mistakes.

Three years ago, Dylan found Savannah gone and searched her for three whole days, bustling and irritable.

It was said that Dylan brought a baby back at last, but Savannah was not with them.

After Savannah disappeared, Charlotte got closer to Dylan. She tried to avail herself of the opportunity to become Dylan's woman, but Dylan didn't respond to her.

Seeing that his sister lost all grace dangling round a man, Lionel finally couldn't stand it and forced Charlotte back to Chicago. For this, he had to hold up the developing business of the Rowe group.

Charlotte had been half-confined to her room in their home in Chicago for the last three years.

However, he didn't expect that his sister's mind was still on Dylan. When she heard that Savannah had returned, she couldn't hold back and wanted to rush to LA for fear that Dylan would be taken away.

Charlotte's face paled at her brother's words; her lips clamped stubbornly. But she also knew, if she insisted on going, Lionel would stop her again.

"I see. ... I'm not going." She said in a low voice.
