Edward Henry regretted coming to this kind of place.
However, Jack was very excited.
Pulling Henry into the booth, Jack excitedly pointed to Charlotte Johnson, who was on the stage. "What a beautiful woman. We don't have such beautiful women in France.
Wow, what a goddess!"
The corners of Henry's mouth twitched.
People who grew up abroad really had unusual tastes.
After the song was over, Jack desperately beckoned to her and shouted in broken Chinese, "Beauty, come here, come here!"
Charlotte did not respond.
She had deliberately dressed up like this, yet some person was still calling her beautiful?
But she couldn't offend the bar guests, so she had no choice but to walk over to him.
Jack's eyes sparkled. "Beauty, can I get to know you? My name is Jack. May I ask your name?"
Of course, Charlotte wouldn't tell the bar guest her real name.
She casually made up a name. "Jane Johnson."
Next to Jack, Henry's brow furrowed.
That voice...
It was sweet and soft, like the voice of the woman who had been underneath him four years ago...
Henry stared at Charlotte.
Meanwhile, Charlotte noticed a pair of eyes like wild beasts lurking in the dark.
She looked over subconsciously, and she was taken aback.
So handsome!
This was her first reaction, but then she felt that she had seen this good-looking guy somewhere before.
She just couldn't remember where at the moment.
Seeing Henry staring at Charlotte, Jack got excited. "Cousin, you're staring at a woman! You think she is pretty, right?"
Henry didn't say anything.
Jack gave Charlotte a thumbs-up. "My cousin is usually abstinent and won't even look at women. For him to stare at you like this affirms your beauty!"
Charlotte was not amused.
She let out a dry laugh and said, "Gentlemen, I'm going to leave if there is nothing else. I have to go home."
She turned around and left.
She didn't know why, but the man's gaze made her feel guilty.
"Beauty, where do you live? Do you want me to see you off?" Jack shouted.
Charlotte didn't turn back. "By Lake Edward!"
...
After going backstage to the dressing room and taking off the weird clothes and the wig, Charlotte left the bar. Before she even walked a few steps, a tall figure appeared in front of her.
Charlotte was caught off guard and bumped into him.
Boom!
Her forehead hurt.
Charlotte rubbed her forehead. "What's the matter with you? Why are you in such a rush?"
The words got stuck in her throat.
The man she'd run into was the unbelievably handsome man she had just seen in the bar.
Henry's eyes were fixed on Charlotte, and an unfathomable expression flashed through them.
It was really her!
He had just been wondering why her voice sounded so familiar.
This was the woman he'd had s*x with four years ago.
Back then, he had asked the butler to pick up the woman so she could live in a villa under his name. He had wanted to see her immediately after returning to the country, but then he'd heard what she did after being brought over.
She belittled and bullied the servants every day.
She did nothing but shop all day, and if the shop attendants didn't greet her well, she slapped them.
She ordered the butler to drive all of the Stevens family's luxury cars to her hometown so that she could show off in front of people there.
Henry wasn't pleased.
He no longer had any desire to look at her.
It was just that she had lost her virginity to him, after all, so he should let her live in a mansion and let the butler satisfy all her needs.
Unexpectedly, she had come to the bar dressed like this!
...
As soon as he thought about it, Henry Stevens understood what was going on.
In the past four years, he had never gone to see this woman.
She hadn't sought him out through the butler.
He had felt very baffled by that.
With Henry's appearance and wealth, countless women wanted to seduce him, so how was this woman able to bear it?
It seemed that now, she couldn't bear it anymore.
Henry stretched out his hand. His fingers were well-defined and beautiful.
He raised Charlotte's chin and said nonchalantly, "Knowing that I am no longer interested in you, you deliberately dressed up like this to attract my attention?"
Charlotte did not reply.
She was speechless.
My God!
This man was extraordinarily handsome, but he wasn't that intelligent.
It seemed that God was fair.
God had given him such good looks but no brains.
She wanted to attract his attention?
Was he kidding?
Charlotte couldn't help but flick the man's hand away. She said unhappily, "Sir, please get treatment for your delusions."
He was handsome, but if he wanted to talk nonsense, she wouldn't give him face.
A cold, gloomy expression flashed over Henry's face.
This was the first time someone had dared to knock his hand away.
This woman was so bold!
Or was she deliberately doing this to try to get his attention?
After all, she had endured it for four years. She must have put her mind to presenting herself to him in a different way so that she could arouse his interest and make him pay attention.
Henry laughed and said with some coldness, "I used to be a little interested in you."
The woman struggling helplessly under him, as well as the soft voice begging for mercy, had aroused him.
They had tossed and turned all night.
In addition to the fact that Henry was drugged, it had also happened because he was interested in this woman.
That was why, before he left, he'd turned on the lights to see the woman clearly and even let the butler pick her up.
"But what you did afterward disgusted me, so don't play such tricks. It will only make me less interested in you."
Charlotte said nothing.
The corners of her mouth twitched.
Low and magnetic, the man's voice was so nice and sounded so heavenly, but why were his words so brainless and infuriating?
Or did he know that he was handsome and mistakenly think that all the women in the world wanted to seduce him?
What a joke.
She, Charlotte, didn't have time for this.
There were eight children in her family.
Charlotte didn't want to become too entangled with the man. She said, "Sir, go and treat your delusions quickly. The hospital doors will always be open for you!"
After that, she ran away.
Henry stared after her in silence.
...
The Johnson Mansion.
Lily was photographing her closet full of luxury goods. She typed on her phone:
"Every day, I drown myself in materialistic indulgence, but it's meaningless. I'm tired of luxury goods, but I'm helpless because my beauty doesn't allow me to be low-key.
Men are always crying and begging to give me luxury goods. What do you guys think I should do? I really want to live an ordinary life like everyone else."
Attaching a sighing emoji, Lily posted the message on Line.
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps. Then, she heard the butler say in a strange voice, "Miss Johnson, Mister is here."
Lily felt like she had just received a heavy blow.
What?!
Henry, the legendary President of the Stevens Corporation, was here?
Lily suddenly panicked.
She didn't know whether or not Henry had seen Charlotte's true appearance that night four years ago. If he had, wouldn't he see right through her?
...
Lily hurriedly said to the butler, "Just tell your master that I'm taking a bath!"
After that, she rushed to the bathroom.
In the living room, Henry Stevens was sitting on the sofa.
Money was spread out all over the thick cashmere carpet.
The servant said that Miss Johnson had scattered the money because she wanted to post a picture on Line to prove that she had too much money to spend.
Henry stared at it in silence.
He suddenly regretted coming here.
At that moment, the butler came in.
The butler said, "Sir, when Miss Johnson heard you were coming, she immediately said she was going to take a bath. She's in the bathroom right now."
Upon hearing this, Henry felt disgusted.
Sure enough, this woman was trying her best to seduce him.
When she had heard him coming, she had immediately gone to take a bath.
Ha!
Just now, when they were outside, she had just been putting on an act to arouse his interest.
Yet he had still come here.
Henry suddenly felt bored.
He stood up, about to leave. As if suddenly thinking of something, he asked, "Did she know where I was today?"
The butler thought for a while and then said, "You went to the airport to meet Mr.
Jack. I called the driver to arrange the itinerary. Miss Johnson must have heard it."
Henry sneered.
Indeed!
He walked away and didn't look back.
...
After a long time, Lily came out of the bathroom.
Henry had already left.
Lily breathed a sigh of relief.
God only knew why Henry, who hadn't been here for four years, would suddenly come today.
"It's a pity that Miss Johnson suddenly took a bath and let him leave like this." The obsequious servant deliberately tried to please Lily. "Miss Johnson looks very beautiful today. Mister would have loved to see you."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Why should I see him?"
The servant was flabbergasted and paused for a long time before squeezing out, "Mr. Stevens is very handsome and rich. He is the male idol of the entire Imperial City. Every woman would want to see him."
Lily snickered.
She didn't want to see Henry!
What if Henry recognized that she wasn't the one he had been with four years ago?
She, Lily, only loved money.
Getting more money from Henry was her purpose.
But Henry seemed to have too much money.
Even if she desperately squandered it for her entire life, she wouldn't be able to use it all.
Lily sighed.
"I want to go back to my hometown," Lily told the butler. "Bring me a dozen bodyguards. Also, take out all the Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, et cetera."
Lily was suddenly returning to her hometown because she was afraid that Henry would come back again. She was going into hiding.
In addition, she hadn't been to her hometown to show off her wealth for a long time.
It had been a while since she had received the envious, jealous, and hateful glances of the local folks.
This made Lily feel a little empty inside.
...
Charlotte returned home.
There was warm milk on the table.
Yolanda had just finished coaxing the eight naughty children to sleep and came out of the bathroom with a yawn. She saw Charlotte drinking the milk and said, "I was not so kind to heat up warm milk for you. You gave birth to eight children at once!
I'm really about to die from exhaustion because of you!"
Charlotte had an apologetic look in her eyes.
She needed financial support to raise eight children. She had to go to work to make money, so she could only ask her mother to look after the children.
"Your eight children, saying that if I'm nice to you, they will help you to repay me in the future, asked me to warm up this milk for you!"
Charlotte said nothing.
Still, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Look at how cute and sensible her eight children were.
...
Later, Charlotte went back to the bedroom to sleep.
The eight children were already asleep in a row, and Charlotte carefully shrank into the corner.
"Mom." She heard a sleepy child's voice.
Octavia, who was leaning against Charlotte, had woken up.
Among the eight children, Octavia was the only little girl. She was very good-looking, and she caught everyone's eye wherever she went.
Octavia kissed Charlotte's face, but her eyes weren't open. She said in a small voice, "Mom has worked hard."
"It wasn't hard work." Charlotte touched Octavia's face. "Octavia, go to sleep."
"Mom, you sleep too." Octavia closed her eyes again and snuggled into Charlotte's arms. Her long eyelashes made her look just like a doll.
But as Charlotte held her, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and it shocked her.
