Chapter 1042
Charlotte snorted in response. “What's the point of a swimsuit when you don't show some legs?”
“Beats me.” Genevieve shrugged.
After taking a sip from the coffee she was holding, Charlotte's lips curled into a smile. “Nevertheless, I didn't come
out empty- handed from the game. With regards to the two scripts he's currently working on, I have cut out all the
kissing and sex scenes from them. Also, he's paying for whatever I fancy tonight.”
Genevieve almost choked on her coffee before throwing Charlotte a curious glance. “Are you sure? How can a
celebrity like him have more money than you?”
“He doesn't but is still richer than your man.” Charlotte continued, “Your man used to be so glamorous when he had
hundreds of billions in assets. But now, how much does he make a month as a civil servant? Does he even get ten
thousand?”
After a momentary pause, she exclaimed, “Don't tell me that you have to pay for whatever you bid later yourself?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGenevieve retorted, “Do you know that you're really annoying?”
“As long as you admit that I'm beautiful, I don't mind you hating me.” Running her finger down Genevieve's cheek,
Charlotte coaxed with a pout, “Be good now. Just choose something you like later. It'll be my gift to you.”
While they were chatting, a member of the staff approached them and handed Genevieve a card.
“Ms. Rachford, your husband had this sent over.”
Genevieve had barely taken the card in her hands when Armand's message arrived: I've sent someone with a card
over. Feel free to use it. It's an eleven-figure amount.
Even though she was surprised at how he had so much money, a smile instantly bloomed on her face, and her
mood couldn't be any better.
Subsequently, she waved her phone screen at Charlotte. “Obviously, there's no way I'm going to pay for the things I
bid myself.
Be a good girl, and I'll buy you a treasure this evening that will bring your boyfriend lots of luck. With it, I'm sure he
can give you a card with eleven figures the next time.”
Charlotte snorted in response. “Sure. I would be a fool to refuse.”
At that moment, the room began to fill with guests, but there were still a few minutes to go before the auction
started. In the midst of snacking on some nuts, Charlotte inquired, “Why didn't you bring Johanna along?”
Johanna? Didn't we go to high school together? Why don't I remember that we were close?
The thought caused Genevieve's brows to furrow.
Just when Genevieve wanted to give a cursory answer, she caught a glimpse of two familiar figures entering the
room. One of them looked like Eurydice, and she was holding the hands of a woman in her fifties. From the lady's
black hair and taut skin, it was evident that she had managed to age gracefully.
Noticing Genevieve's silence, Charlotte followed the former's gaze and was greeted by the sight of Eurydice.
She asked, “Why are you looking at Eurydice?”
“Do you know her?” Charlotte's father was in the real estate business, whereas Eurydice's was a high-ranking
government official. If Genevieve wasn't a civil servant, she naturally wouldn't know Eurydice.
Charlotte explained, “I've only seen her before. However, I know the lady beside her.”
Pointing at the lady, Charlotte elaborated, “She's Eurydice's aunt. Her husband is in the international logistics
business and is extremely successful. Do you know why I know her? Her daughter is a minx who not only stole my
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfirst love but also tried to attack me.”
She had known her first love since they were kids, and both families were also on very good terms. Unfortunately,
just when Charlotte was about to be engaged to him, something unexpected happened.
Back then, she was still naive in love. Infuriated by the fact that someone was trying to steal her boyfriend, she
ordered the perpetrator to be beaten up. However, the girl's relatives were in the government, and Charlotte was
consequently arrested by the police. During that time, Charlotte's father went all over the place, trying to bail her
out.
Those few days turned out to be the most humiliating period of her life. After behaving with impunity for such a
long time, she was forced to apologize to the girl that was trying to steal her man.
Thereafter, she learned that it was he who was useless when he didn't dare rescue her. Furthermore, he ended up
marrying that minx.
Upon the realization, she cursed him for wasting more than ten years of her life.
In the end, regardless of her desire for vengeance, she knew it was futile to go against someone in government.
Besides that, she felt it reckless to ruin the family business her grandfather and father had spent their lives
nurturing.
Nevertheless, from then on, she never got into a serious relationship, only engaging in flings.
