After the incident with Yeates, Charlotte received both a court subpoena and an invitation to the Wolkin preliminary banquet.
Looking at the invitation in his hand, the gold trim catching the light, a cold smile played at the corner of Charlotte's lips.
Having endured cyberbullying for so long, it was about time those people experienced the same taste.
On the evening of the banquet, everyone speculated whether Charlotte, embroiled in scandals, would make an appearance. After all, the lawsuit had garnered significant attention, and it was said that Saxton had already issued a court subpoena—this time, it was getting serious.
If they were in Charlotte's shoes, they would not attend the banquet and might even be too afraid to step out of their doors.
As the crowd buzzed with discussions, Charlotte appeared on the red carpet, arm in arm with Joe.
She was dressed in a sleek black haute couture gown that bared her back, her makeup giving her a sharp yet bold appearance. Her vivid red lips radiated an exceptionally powerful aura.
Everyone present was stunned. No one had expected that Charlotte would have the audacity to appear at the banquet amid such a turbulent situation.
"No wonder she managed to become a president. Her mental fortitude is beyond ordinary. If it were me... I would have died of shame long ago. How could I still flaunt myself like this?"
Someone in the crowd uttered this, and others immediately chimed in, echoing the sentiment.
Charlotte casually glanced in the direction of the voice and provocatively curled her lip.
The person who had spoken was suddenly wide-eyed. He never dreamed that Charlotte would dare to provoke him!
Lisa's expression underwent a dramatic change. She reached out, attempting to snatch Charlotte's phone while muttering, "I don't want the police! No reporting allowed!"
Her behavior grew increasingly bizarre, and without drawing attention, Joe discreetly positioned himself between Lisa and Charlotte, shielding Charlotte behind him.
Witnessing this scene, Lisa, who was already emotionally charged, completely lost control.
She let out a sharp, abrupt scream, continuing her mutterings, even attempting to reach out and pull Charlotte, trying to seize the phone from her grip.
Charlotte's reflexes were lightning-fast, preventing Lisa from succeeding.
