Thus, everyone present stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them. The man gazed dotingly at the woman in his arms, and the woman slowly closed her eyes, nestling against his shoulder for a nap. She was really exhausted and barely had any sleep. She rushed over without stopping for a break. In addition to being surrounded by so many annoying people with their constant and endless chatter, she had a headache just from listening to it.
Under the watch of such a crowd, it was surprising that she could still sleep so soundly. When Charlie arrived, it was already half an hour later. Brianna stepped out of the elevator with a young man, her face was full of arrogance, and she acted all high and mighty as if she was ready to crush Ashlyn to death and expose her. Then, she would disfigure Ashlyn's face and rub it against the ground. It was as if she had already seen the scene of Ashlyn embarrassing herself in Lake City.
An inexplicable sense of elation filled Brianna's heart.
“Mr. Charlie, please come this way,” Brianna said. Brianna walked confidently in her high heels and held her head high alongside Charlie Link as they approached in front of the crowd.
“Mr. Charlie.” As soon as Chloe saw Charlie, she immediately greeted him. She looked at him with a warm smile on her face. Everyone looked at Charlie in unison. The man had a handsome face and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving him an elegant and gentle appearance. He did not look like the owner of the largest auction house in Jadeborough, nor did he resemble the ruthless and heartless man from the rumors. They all secretly speculated that Charlie's appearance would definitely expose Ashlyn and humiliate her. Many people looked as if they were expecting an interesting show to unfold as they watched Ashlyn, who still had her eyes closed. The woman seemed unaware of Charlie's arrival as she continued to take a nap.
“It's like this, Mr. Charlie. We have a bottle of Rulent 133 here. I heard that one pill appeared at your auction recently, so you must be quite familiar with it. Could you help to authenticate whether this bottle of medicine is genuine or fake?” Chloe said. Chloe looked at Charlie with a gentle and elegant smile.
Charlie raised his eyebrows without showing any of his emotions and glanced at Ashlyn, who was sitting on the bench with her eyes closed.
What's going on? With her here, how could it be me who authenticates Rulent 133?
However, Chloe had always had a great reputation in Jadeborough. Charlie was extremely cautious in his actions, so he would not dare to disrespect Chloe. When Zoe saw Charlie arriving, she took a deep breath and handed that bottle of medicine to the handsome man in front of her. She did not know if it was due to her extreme nervousness or something else, but that transparent little porcelain bottle was slightly wet. She was so anxious that her palms were sweating. Chloe glanced at this scene. She sneered secretly in her heart.
That medicine is definitely fake.
Charlie took the small transparent porcelain bottle and held it in his hand. He then opened it and poured out a pill. The dark brown pill was lying quietly in the palm of his hand. Charlie looked carefully at the pill. Then, he looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand.
