Chapter 31 “You two, help out. The client wants it cut into 404 pieces.” “Uh… okay, sure.” The sales associate had worked here for years, but she’d never seen anything like this. She hurried to grab a pair of scissors. The sound of metal slicing through fabric rang out in

Chapter 30 “I don’t mind,” Charlotte said. Elizabeth gave a cold, knowing smile. She was certain Charlotte wouldn’t dare speak up.

Chapter 29 “Nancy is your friend. If you don’t want to help her, fine, but how could you just stand by and let them call the police?” Charlotte looked up, her eyes clear and bright with a hint of frost on her perfect face. Olivia shrank back, unsettled by the

Chapter 28 Charlotte lounged on the sofa with a lazy grace, milk in one hand and her phone in the other. She didn’t just look relaxed, she radiated an icy confidence that made the whole room feel colder. Nancy rushed over, practically sliding to her knees at Charlotte’s feet. “Thief—no,

Chapter 27 Nancy took a deep breath and stepped out of the fitting room with her decision already made. She grabbed a long black dress off the rack and held it up against Charlotte’s frame. “Charlotte, this one is perfect for you. Just get it.” Charlotte stared at the dress

Chapter 26 “You… you seriously don’t know what to do?” Nancy winced, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. She’d cramped up before, but never like this. The pain was almost unbearable. “Come here.

Chapter 25 1-Kiss might be a young brand, but it was already unstoppable. Its sales and reputation had catapulted it into the top three luxury labels. Their customers were either loaded or famous. No one else made it through the door. The girl standing in front of the saleswoman probably

Chapter 24 Charlotte stopped, her gaze icy as it landed on Steven. She gave him a cold, almost mocking smile. “You sent me away when I was thirteen. Out there, no one bothered teaching me about manners or etiquette.” So was she blaming him for sending her off to the

Chapter 23 Anthony’s warmth seeped through her bangs, sending little sparks of electricity all over her body. Charlotte’s eyes trembled just a bit. She bit her lip and spoke slowly, making sure he caught every word. “I’m not a kid.” Anthony’s eyebrow lifted. He looked at her, a little surprised.

Chapter 20 98K hadn’t hurt Ms. Main. It was almost unbelievable. Anthony stood there, completely stunned, just staring at the girl and the dog, his face a mix of shock and confusion. Charlotte was lying on top of 98K, her cheek nuzzling into the dog’s soft fur. She didn’t look

Chapter 19 Charlotte dropped her bag onto the bed and sat down, glancing around the room. The guest room was spotless, the air crisp, not a single hint that anyone had stayed here before. She frowned a little, picked up her pajamas, and headed into the bathroom. After her shower,
