Chapter 539 Asking for Humiliation
In the Splendid Hotel in Capital City.
Near the end of the preliminary contest of the Wolkin Prize, the Burkina Faso architectural designer held a warm-up
dinner party, and the invitation was naturally sent to Charlotteâs table.
But everyone knew that Moontide had been plagiarizing recently. Even if Charlotte responded to the matter with an
extremely tough attitude, she did not produce strong evidence. Countless people were scolding her on the Internet.
Many people thought that Charlotte would not appear at this warm-up dinner just because of this.
But to everyoneâs surprise, Charlotte not only attended but also took Joe with her!
That night, Charlotte appeared fearlessly at the entrance of the hotel in a bright red silk dress with a faint smile on her
face, arm in arm with Joe.
The room fell silent for a moment, and all kinds of complicated gazes were cast on her.
Charlotte looked back at them without hesitation and gave them a decent smile.
âIf it werenât for Rumba, I wouldnât be here.â The smiling Charlotte lowered her voice and said to Joe.
Although Mr. Rumba was not here, he gambled his reputation to prove Charlotteâs innocence as soon as possible.
If Charlotte didnât even dare to attend such a gala, it would only make the rumors more and more intense, and the slander
of Mr. Rumba would be more unscrupulous.
âIf you donât like it, weâll leave immediately.â Joe took Charlotteâs hand. âI promise, it wonât affect Mr.
Rumba at all.â
Charlotte was tempted for a moment and then shook her head. âNo, Iâd better stay a little longer before I leave.â
While they were talking, Lisa walked over gracefully, arm in arm with Durke.
Enter titleâ¦
âMiss Clinton is different from ordinary people. If it were me, I wouldnât dare to attend the banquet at this time.â Lisa smiled
meaningfully. âI heard that the judges of the Wolkin Prize hate plagiarists the mostâ¦â
Lisa seemed to think of something and covered her mouth exaggeratedly. âSorry, I donât want to hurt you. I just want to
talk about the principles of the judges.â
Durke did not expect that Lisa would pull him over just to mock Charlotte! He quickly frowned and pulled her. âLisa, are
you crazy?â
Lisa suddenly stopped smiling.
Lisa glanced at Durke, âIâm just comforting Miss Clinton. After all, Mr. Rumba has gambled all the past honors for her. Iâm
afraid he will lose his integrity laterâ¦â
âMr. Rumba has nothing to do with you.â Lena came out of the crowd and looked at Lisa sarcastically.
âYour father is in
prison. Youâd better care more about him.â
Everyone present knew that Master Phil had been sent to prison. Now that Lena suddenly mentioned it, Lisaâs face
suddenly turned pale.
Lisa dug her nails deeply into her palms. âDo you intend to practice guilt by association?â
Lena sneered, âAs long as you donât make trouble, no one will mention it.â
Lisa looked at Charlotte with resentment. Why were there so many people around her to help her even if something
happened to her?
Before he could speak, Joe glanced at Durke, âYour company seems to be planning to buy land in the south of the city
recently?â
Durke suddenly grabbed Lisa beside him. âLetâs go!â
Lisa was very reluctant. It was not easy for her to find an opportunity to mock Charlotte. Why should she leave like this?
But Durke lowered his voice and threatened, âIf you donât leave now, donât think about getting a penny from me in the
future.â
