Chapter 1654 - 1653: Scheming Against Her

Chapter 1654: Chapter 1653: Scheming Against Her

"Make a call and have him come back immediately."

How can things continue like this?

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, we’ll go make the call right away."

······

Meanwhile.

Nightfall Palace Seven-star Hotel.

A grand banquet was underway.

Charlotte Knight wore this season’s latest custom-made dress.

Born a noble young lady with a silver spoon, she was showered with love from all directions, becoming the center of attention wherever she went, the darling among socialites and rich young ladies.

Now, Charlotte was surrounded in the middle of the crowd: "Wow, Charlotte, your dress is so beautiful, I heard there are only two in the world. I’ve only seen it in magazines."

"I heard someone just escorted you here, looking incredibly handsome. Which family’s young master is he?"

"Aren’t you going to introduce us, Charlotte? That’s so unfair!!"

"Yeah, that’s right, we’ve known each other for so many years. There have been plenty of suitors for Charlotte, yet she hasn’t agreed to any of them, staying single all these years. Just who is the lucky man this time, the heir to which conglomerate?"

Everyone began to gossip.

Charlotte was surrounded in the center.

"There’s no such thing! How could someone have escorted me?"

Charlotte smiled as she declined: "No one brought me here, you must have seen it wrong!"

"Really? Did we really see it wrong? That’s impossible, Charlotte; you must have a new, very handsome and outstanding boyfriend and you’re hiding him from us, right?"

"How could that be! There’s no such thing!"

"There must be! We must have guessed right!"

·····

Hotel corner.

Bethany Knight tightly gripped the hem of her dress, a hint of spite on her face: "Charlotte, you’re such a bitch. Taking the spotlight at home is one thing, but you have to steal my thunder at a banquet too. You’re really despicable!"

Hmph, she was furious inside.

"Bethany, why are you here alone? Want to come and dance?" A few ladies nearby approached her, politely inviting her to dance.

"Thanks, I’m not feeling well today, you all go ahead!" As if she could dance while this angry!

Yet she didn’t show it on the surface.

No matter how angry, she dared not display it in front of everyone. She planned to deal with Charlotte secretly!

The last time she hired reporters to capture her scandal, they got nothing, and Charlotte was still perfectly fine, making her furious.

She pulled the gemstones off her expensive dress, "Charlotte, just you wait!"

·····

The banquet continued into the late night, with no sign of ending.

Charlotte emerged from the crowd once more, her face flushed and body feeling hot.

"Ugh... What’s happening～～～"

She staggered into the lounge, pulled her phone from her bag, and dialed Arthur Easton’s number, saying, "Second Young Master, where are you? Come pick me up～～ Ugh!!"

Her voice sounded softer than usual when she spoke.

She wasn’t intentionally lowering her voice; maybe it was because she’d had too much to drink tonight?

In the past, she could hold her liquor well, but she hadn’t drunk like this for a long time. Perhaps she was suddenly out of practice?
