Hearing some girl call Charlie like this, Wendy shivered in her heart.
She almost thought that it was Yolanda, but soon she realized that Yolanda was still locked up in prison, and it was impossible for Yolanda to appear here.
Wendy turned around and saw a girl in a small western- style dress. Different from the evening dresses on other girls, this girl was wearing a shortstyle fluffy skirt, with Punk makeup, and a high ponytail, which looked so cool.
In such a banquet filled with young girls, this girl looked unique.
Even if Wendy had a bad impression of this girl because of the way she called Charlie, Wendy had to take a good look at her.
Seeing Charlie frowning, Tilly was immediately unhappy. She knocked the glass in his hand with her red wine glass and said, "Charlie, you can't recognize me, can you? I'm Tilly!"
Charlie suddenly remembered and asked quietly, "You're back from the UK?"
"Yes!" Tilly showed a big smile, "I have got an MBA in Oxford. My parents want me to continue to study there, but I don't. I'm afraid I'll become a nerd! So, as soon as I get the certificate, I returned home immediately, just in time for the banquet!"
"Congratulations." Charlie said, pursing his lips.
"Thank you. I'm happier to hear it from you!" Tilly flicked the hem of her dress, looking a little shy and expecting something. "Charlie, we haven't seen each other for seven years, I've changed a lot, see?"
But there was nothing in Charlie's eyes, and he just said casually, "Probably."
Charlie did answer Tilly but in a perfunctory way. She frowned slightly after heard that and said, "Well, you're upset me! I'll talk to my families first. Talk to you later!"
After that, Tilly left gracefully with the red wine glass in her hand.
Wendy finally had a chance to speak. She frowned and asked, "Charlie, who is she?"
"Madge's cousin," Charlie replied in a low voice.
"Oh." Wendy nodded.
Madge's cousin?
They didn't look very alike, and their personalities were also different. Wendy couldn't help looking at Tilly's back. Her instinct told her that Tilly had other feelings for Charlie.
The people who could attend the banquet were all from rich families, and there were also many business cooperations between some of them. So, it was inevitable that Charlie needed to socialize with some guests.
Wendy was afraid that she would disturb Charlie's business, so she asked him to do his own business first, and then she went to the long table to get something to eat.
The light yellow tablecloth was covered with dazzling Chinese and Western exquisite desserts, which made people's appetite go wild just by looking at them. Wendy took a shining white plate, picked up some along the way, took a glass of juice, and sat on the couch next to her.
Just as she was about to take a bite of the almond cake, a shadow descended from above her head.
Wendy looked up and saw Madge's cousin, Tilly again. At this time, the red wine in Tilly's hand was replaced with champagne, and Tilly looked at her from a high position, wanting to see through her from her face.
In fact, Tilly was just trying to find out what's so special about her that she could attract Charlie so much. But Tilly didn't find anything and didn't feel that way.
Wendy was just sitting there.
Just now, when Tilly talked to Charlie, Tilly completely ignored her, as if she didn't exist. Now, Tilly turned to come to her again, which was really funny.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
