Chapter 277 Charlotte sat next to Anthony, lounging on the sofa with her phone, barely sparing the glittering diamond a second look. She didn’t seem the least bit interested, even though everyone else was losing their minds over it. “Open up,” Anthony said in that gentle voice of his. He
Chapter 276 Olivia was left speechless by the scene unfolding before her. Whoever managed to walk away with that diamond had to be worth billions. In Cabinda, as far as she knew, only the Blair family fit that bill. The whole room was buzzing, everyone caught up in the excitement,
Chapter 275 To keep things private for everyone bidding, the VIP section upstairs was split into separate rooms. No one could see who was next door. Ten minutes later, the auction began. The host walked on stage and kicked things off, announcing that eighty percent of tonight’s proceeds would go
Chapter 274 Olivia had no clue what was really going on. She just assumed everyone was admiring her looks, so she held her chin high and soaked in the imaginary praise. “Joe, where are our seats?” she asked, already scanning the room for the best spots. The second floor was
Chapter 273 Charlotte’s eyes went cold, and she dodged out of the way with quick, practiced ease. Still, her long hair accidentally brushed Roger’s shoulder. That scent, sharp and clean, mixed with medicine… Was he a doctor? Only doctors seemed to carry that blend of antiseptic and medicine. Roger paused,
Chapter 272 “Wow,” Nancy said, practically bursting with envy. “Olivia, you have no idea how lucky you are. Joe invited you himself. Who knows, he might even buy you a ring or a necklace or something tonight.” Olivia just smiled but didn’t say anything. The Gill family had money, sure,
Chapter 271 A plane glided in from overseas, touching down smoothly at Cabinda International Airport. As soon as the door opened, a tall figure stepped out of the cabin, his presence impossible to miss. Roger wore a perfectly tailored black trench coat that made his already striking frame look even
Chapter 270 Anthony never saw it coming. Charlotte agreed so quickly, she didn’t even bother to ask what was going on. “Lottie, do you even know what you just said yes to?” “No idea. Why don’t you tell me?” Charlotte grinned, leaning in so close their noses almost touched. “Go
Chapter 269 The next morning, sunlight spilled through the curtains, warm and bright, filling the room with a gentle glow. Charlotte blinked awake, still a little sleepy. She peeled the heating patch off her stomach and noticed right away how much better she felt. The pain had faded, and she
Chapter 268 “Back again, huh?” Anthony pulled the blanket over Charlotte, his voice a soft sigh. “How did you ever get any sleep without me here?” He’d always stayed out of her past, never asking questions, but lately, he found himself wanting to know everything. Every secret, every memory. All
Chapter 267 Imperial Heights was glowing with light. Charlotte had just slipped under the covers when Helen walked in, holding a sleek black gift bag. “Charlotte, I brought what you need,” Helen said, her voice gentle. Charlotte hadn’t even asked for anything, so there was only one way Helen could
Chapter 266 Anthony took the item from Andrew, then glanced up and noticed Andrew still standing there, looking a bit lost. Anthony raised an eyebrow. “Why are you just standing there?” Andrew blinked, a little surprised. Was Anthony actually inviting him to get in the car? He had never ridden
Chapter 265 “But Roger The assistant froze, caught off guard. He’d been by Roger’s side the longest, so he knew all about The Gates Family’s lost granddaughter. The whole family had been searching for her everywhere, treating her like some kind of treasure. Not long ago, rumors had spread that
Chapter 264 Andrew felt kind of unsure about everything, but honestly, just knowing there was someone out there who could give Anthony a hard time made him feel a lot better. He gave Charlotte a silent thumbs up in his head. Shirley edged closer and wrapped her arms around Charlotte’s,
Chapter 263 Anthony leaned in close, letting his fingertips brush gently across Charlotte’s cheek. He took a deep breath and whispered, “Poor thing.” That seemed to calm her down. Only then did he stand up and quietly leave the room. He didn’t notice that, as soon as the door clicked
Chapter 262 The bathroom was quiet and dim, the light barely enough to cast soft shadows on the tiled floor. Charlotte stood in front of the sink, looking half-awake, her arms hanging loosely at her sides. Her eyes drooped, dark lashes nearly brushing her cheeks, giving her the look of
Chapter 261 “What do you know?” Andrew shot Shirley a glare. “You like Charlotte, but she’s into Anthony, so now you’re all heartbroken,” Shirley said, blinking at him like she had just cracked the code to his soul. “But don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me.” Andrew frowned and reached
Chapter 260 It was late outside the police station, the light fading as a cool breeze swept through the night. Andrew, Parrish, and Shirley stood in a tight row, shoulder to shoulder. All six eyes were glued to Charlotte, who stood a little way off, her face unreadable. Parrish nudged
Chapter 259 That kid was really in for it this time. Right on the ten-minute mark, Henry Dean burst into the police station, barely keeping himself upright. The moment he spotted the two people sitting on the sofa, a chill ran through him. He quickly bowed his head, voice trembling
Chapter 258 “Anthony? What are you doing here?” Andrew’s face drained of color and he stumbled back, suddenly feeling very small. He hadn’t called Anthony. He was sure of it. Anthony’s cold eyes barely lingered on him before sliding over to Dennis and the police officer. The second Dennis met
