My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 The Man in Darkness

Standing in the darkness, he gave the man a cold glance.

And the man immediately shut up, and stared at him in disbelief.

The finger that was pointing at him began to quiver, and then dropped quickly.

"Nice to meet you, Charlie."

In a corner no one had noticed, the man bowed his head and saluted to him.

Charlie coldly curled his lips, his eyes filled with a shuddering intensity.

His fine thin lips moved, uttering cold and brusque words.

"Get away!"

The man was about to leave but was stopped suddenly.

"Wait!"

The man looked back with a terrified bitter look on his face.

"Charlie, I didn't mean to bump into you. If I knew you were here, I would have turned around the corner ..."

Charlie impatiently interrupted him, looked into the direction of the stage with darkened eyes.

"All right, I am not talking about that. Don't tell anyone I am here tonight. Understand?"

The man was shocked, as if he did not understand why Charlie said so. However, he agreed obediently.

Charlie waved his hand and let the man leave.

Although Charlie graduated from Riverside High School five years ago, the legend he left behind still remained on campus.

The reason was quite simple. During his school years, Charlie was known for his ruthless and bad reputation.

In other words, he was a super school bully rarely seen in the school history, probably the only one in a decade.

The fights he engaged outnumbered the exams he took, and the fights were so fierce that he became the nightmare of his peers and teachers.

After five years, this nightmare was still a force to be reckoned with.

As a matter of fact, everyone would turn the other way at the sight of him. Apart from Victoria, no one dared to approach him these years.

Unfortunately, it was just an unrequited love.

Born into a prestigious family, Victoria was endowed with both wealth and beauty must be insane to take a fancy to Charlie, who has nothing but a handsome face.

Despite her efforts, Victoria was ignored, and Charlie turned her down directly.

For this matter, many boys who admired Victoria secretly were indignant for her sake.

Unfortunately, Victoria did not care about them, so they naturally had no position to air their opinions.

Finally, Victoria's performance on the stage came to the end.

She stood up and bowed to the audience, and then retreated to the backstage.

As applause took over the auditorium, Charlie standing in darkness looked toward the direction where the woman headed. Then he turned to walk out, his dark eyes clouding up.

The next performer was Jessica.

As the goddess of countless men, Jessica was not as beautiful as Victoria. However, her innocent girl-next-door persona did stir quite the hype.

Her piano performance won her favor and a round of applause.

There were crazy male fans who went upstage presenting bouquets of flowers, and they were so excited.

Maintaining a shy character, Jessica stood on the stage and delivered praising words that bathed the school, teachers and students in good mood.

Everyone loved to be praised, including the principals and teachers.

An appreciative smile lit up on their faces.

Natalia, however, was not interested in watching her performance. After sending Victoria a text message and knowing that she was backstage, Natalia got up and left.

In the backstage, Victoria was changing clothes.

She wore traditional costume for performance on the stage, and was changing into her own evening gown for the party.
