Chapter 5: Big Trouble

After not seeing the prince for several days, he suddenly appeared on her filming set. It was indeed a pleasant surprise that he still cared about her!

Linda Davis felt her head buzzing, as if thousands of fireworks were exploding in her mind. She was both happy and proud.

Not caring about the curious and envious gazes of others, she wore a charming smile and greeted him with excitement.

"Mr. Russell, how come you're here?"

Linda Davis playfully threw herself in front of the man, but Henry Russell didn't even glance at her. He coldly walked right past her, heading straight for the woman standing behind her.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Henry Russell walked up to Charlotte Cooper, his gray-brown eyes staring at her quietly for two or three seconds. Noticing her exposed fair skin, his face darkened slightly, and he muttered, "Is this how you take care of yourself when I'm not around?"

Charlotte tilted her head to look at him, the smile on her lips not fading, but a subtle chill in her eyes.

Henry Russell expressionlessly took off his coat and bent down to wrap her slender figure up carefully and tightly.

Feeling the lingering warmth from his coat spreading across her skin, Charlotte looked at the man in front of her as he carefully fixed her clothes, her eyes wavering for a moment.

After buttoning the last button, Henry Russell looked up at her, "How long until you're done for the day?"

Charlotte: "About four or five hours."

Henry Russell paused for a moment, caressing her cheek, "I still have a few surgeries to rush back to. Go home early after you're done."

He then instructed the director, "Take good care of her."

The director naturally knew who Henry was referring to - Genna Winslet, the prince's favorite. Since he came personally, the director hurriedly assured, "Of course, of course, Mr. Russell, please rest assured."

Everyone already knew that the powerful Charlotte had an extraordinary background, but they never expected her support to be the Russell family's prince!

There was a wave of astonishment and envy among the crowd.

Henry Russell's visit was brief, and his eyes never strayed from Charlotte, even Linda Davis, who had once accompanied him on a trip to Europe and even shared a magazine cover with him, was treated coldly.

Those in the know couldn't help but look at the pitiful woman who had been ignored on the side, their faces showing sympathy.

"Charlotte Cooper!" Linda Davis was almost enraged to death.

Sugar daddy? That was nothing! Her biggest sugar daddy was snatched away by Charlotte, that cheap woman!!!

As soon as Charlotte looked up, she met a pair of gloomy and piercing eyes. She hooked the corner of her lips, enchantingly raising her eyebrows, and gave Linda Davis a provocative smile.

That smile completely infuriated Miss Linda Davis.

Linda Davis glared at Charlotte, her dark face gradually calming but her eyes brimming with ruthlessness.

"What are you proud of? Your time to cry will come!"

Charlotte naturally sensed the malice coming from Linda Davis, but she couldn't help but feel excited looking at the face ready to cause trouble.

The more chaotic things were, the better. Only in constant chaos could Henry Russell reveal his vulnerable side. She really wanted to know what kind of conspiracy was hidden under that tender and caring mask...

With the prince's personal instruction, the director naturally didn't dare to slack off. After shooting for two more hours, he let everyone go home and rest early.

When Charlotte got home, Henry Russell was still busy at the hospital. A note was left on the dining table with his handwriting, reminding her not to snack and to eat properly. He had prepared dinner and left it in the refrigerator for her to heat up and eat.

Charlotte was already numb to this. After eating dinner and watching some dramas, she went to bed early and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

"Charlotte, something big has happened!"

There were countless missed calls and text messages from her agents on her phone. Instead of responding, she directly logged onto Instagram.

[Charlotte Cooper's secret sugar daddy exposed]

The phrase was glaringly positioned at the top of the trending search list, accompanied by several high-definition candid photos of Henry Russell putting his coat on her. Sponsored posts from several major influencers fueled the online frenzy, causing the app to crash multiple times.

[I knew Charlotte Cooper must have a sugar daddy supporting her behind the scenes, otherwise how could she have all the top resources in the industry!]

[Ugh, she really has the face of a mistress.]

[Isn't having a sugar daddy normal in the entertainment industry? If you want to make a splash in the entertainment world, you either rely on your own father or your sugar daddy~]

[You guys are too quick to judge. Maybe he's Genna Winslet's boyfriend, and you guys are just saying he's someone else's sugar daddy.]

[Please stop trying to defend her. Do you see who this is? It's the prince of the Russell Group. He's been married for years. Just because his official wife keeps a low profile doesn't mean she's dead, you know.]

[Yeah, yeah, I remember the prince got married a few years ago. But the Russell princess is really mysterious. We've been trying to dig up information for so long, and we haven't even found a name!]

[Don't you think it's strange? This news broke out of nowhere. With the capabilities of the Russell prince, who would dare to expose him like this? Like when Linda Davis was exposed last time, the news was withdrawn without a trace within an hour, and there wasn't even a splash...]

[Maybe Charlotte pissed someone off, and they want to take her down a peg. This kind of news will definitely attract the attention of the prince's official wife. Do you think she'll have a good outcome?]

[Well, she deserves it for being a mistress!]

Her slender fingers slowly slid across the screen, and Charlotte couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that the netizens had some misunderstandings about her. In all these years, she hadn't even touched a single finger of Henry Russell's many affairs...

It's not like she's that heartless, you know~

Speaking of which, Linda Davis' efficiency in getting things done was really high. She went to great lengths to slander Charlotte, buying off so many influencers to work together, and must have spent quite a bit of money.

Charlotte contemplated for a moment, logged onto her main Instagram account, picked a nicely angled photo of the two of them looking intimate from one of the sponsored posts, and posted it with the caption-

[Love you, love you, even if I have to fight the universe for you]

She nonchalantly clicked send.

Within just one minute, her post was already bustling with activity, with thousands of comments flooding in, although they were all bashing her.

[It's amazing how shameless people can be. Being a mistress with such flair, impressive!]

[Genna Winslet, have some face, will you? At least you're a public figure, don't spread bad vibes!]

[...]

Charlotte wasn't angry as she read the comments, and even had a smile on her lips. She wondered how Henry Russell was going to deal with this?

Throughout their three-year marriage, while Henry Russell never hid the fact that he was married, he deliberately concealed his identity in public. Underneath the coat of Mrs. Russell, she was like a ghost with no presence.

This was his punishment for her.

"Ding dong."

Suddenly, a notification popped up, and Charlotte realized that Henry had @ her.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she hesitated for a moment before clicking on his Instagram.

Henry Russell rarely managed his Instagram, and there were only three short posts. The pinned post was the one where he @ Charlotte, with only five words-

[I need a title]

Accompanied by their marriage certificate, wedding photos, and a pair of wedding rings.

Unbelievable...
