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.
Compared to his formerly spirited self, the current Zack, despite his efforts to disguise it, couldn't hide the traces of his decline.
