Chapter 575 Recurring Troubles The moment that voice sounded, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became subtly tense. All eyes were on Charlotte. If the earlier moments had highlighted the beauty of both Charlotte and Sandra, now, with the enhancement of the sapphire necklace, Sandra’s radiance dimmed in an instant. “Miss Clinton, you truly are fortunate,” a voice of flattery sounded, and only then did the others awaken from their daze to greet Charlotte. “Absolutely, Miss Clinton! I heard you’re planning to launch a skincare product line?” “I wonder when Miss Clinton and Mr. Smith will hold their wedding?” Listening to these compliments, some genuine and some not, Charlotte maintained a composed smile on her face while Sandra faded away unnoticed. Charlotte subtly blinked at Joe, “It seems financial capability is still quite useful.”
Sandra’s actions didn’t exactly make Charlotte uncomfortable, but they did provoke a sense of disgust. “As long as you like it,” Joe gazed at her affectionately. Charlotte looked around but couldn’t spot Sandra’s presence anymore, so she lowered her gaze slightly. Having finally encountered such an occasion, how could Sandra give up easily? “Miss Clinton, it’s been a long time since we’ve met,” a man’s voice sounded. Mr. Bulwer’s face immediately turned extremely unsightly. He lowered his voice and asked, “How did he get in?” The person who appeared was Zack, who had long vanished without a trace. Enter title… Compared to his formerly spirited self, the current Zack, despite his efforts to disguise it, couldn’t hide
the traces of his decline. The previously lively atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly grew silent. Charlotte’s face turned pale, and she instinctively grasped Joe’s hand. The unpleasant scenes from before flooded her mind, and she tightly shut her eyes to suppress her emotions. “You’ve got quite the courage.” Before Charlotte could speak, Joe’s cold voice interjected sarcastically. Throughout all these years, no one had dared to challenge his orders so brazenly. As Zack looked at Joe, he instinctively trembled but quickly remembered his purpose for coming and put on a sly smile. “Mr. Smith, there’s no need to be angry. I just…” Without warning, Joe kicked Zack to the ground and firmly stepped on him. A long-forgotten fear instantly surged through Zack’s mind. It was the first time he felt the terror of death. After being driven out of Capital City by Joe, he quickly fell into drug addiction. Not only did he lose all his original wealth, but he also accumulated a mountain of debt. Just when he was desperate and considering a quiet departure from this world, a mysterious person found him. Not only did that person provide him with a large sum of money to repay his debts, but he also promised him another substantial amount if he was willing to return to Capital City and do some tasks. He assured him that he would have enough money to buy even more forbidden substances. With this in mind, Zack trembled with excitement to the point where even the pain from the kick by Joe seemed less
intense. Sensing that something was off with Zack’s emotions, Joe frowned and glanced at the security personnel in the venue. They quickly approached and attempted to drag Zack away. However, at that moment, Zack seemed to have gone mad. He began to shout loudly, his voice echoing throughout the room. “Charlotte! So you’ve hooked up with Joe, huh? Back then, when you slept with me in the private room, you didn’t have this kind of attitude…” Zack shouted louder and louder, reveling in his outburst. He seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, continuously uttering words that were unbearable to hear, completely fabricating a story involving himself and Charlotte.
