Chapter 15
Since Olivia dared to perform it on the show,they must have prepared for me to expose them.
If I rushed in and made a scene now,they might use it against me,
Or maybe Charles had set the trap,waiting for me to jump in.
I quickly calmed myself,sent Rogerio a message,and then headed to my old home.
I thought Charles wouldn’t be there at this time.
So when I opened the door and saw the two of them kissing,I froze.
Charles let go of Olivia and deliberately licked his lips in an ambiguous manner.
“Didn’t you knock before coming in? It’s only been a few days since I last saw you,and you’ve forgotten your
manners?”
I let out a cold laugh. “I didn’t expect it. Just a few days after we parted,President Carter has become a shameless
thief.”
Charles raised an eyebrow. “So you came back because of this?”
“Why else? Came all the way to watch you two play?”
Charles sighed. “Charlotte Edwards,it’s just a dance. You can choreograph a new one,there’s no need to make it so ugly. And this is your home. Once you’ve caused enough of a scene,you have to go back.”
“As soon as you brought Olivia upstairs to spend the night,this place hasn’t been my home anymore.”
Charles’s expression changed. “You knew all along?”
I glanced at Olivia,who seemed somewhat nervous.
“Olivia gave me a live broadcast of your first night together. Tell me,how thrilling is it to cheat on me right above my
head?”
While I was sweating through a 39–Celsius degree fever,making complicated stomach–soothing porridge for him,this man,who should have been at a social gathering,was looking for thrills on the rooftop just above me.
Charles turned to Olivia. “Is this true?”
“Of course not!” Olivia retorted pitifully. “Even if I had a hundred guts,I wouldn’t dare to provoke Charlotte
Edwards like that.”
She cried as she spoke,looking extremely pitiful.
Charles,falling for her act,softened his tone immediately.

“Alrightalrightif you say it’s not true, then it’s not Stop crying”
Be turned to look at me with disappointment. “Charlotte Edwards, I know you’re angry that I gave your dance to Olivia,but she’s almost lost her job because of you. You’ve made your point,why keep slandering her?”
Beland Charles, Olivia wore the expression of a victor.provocatively looking at me.
She was telling me that Charles had placed his full trust in her leaving not a trace for me,his wife of seven years.
I suppressed my anger and started walking toward the practice room.
Charles and Olivia followed me, When I picked up a pot of flowers from the windowsill and made for the door Charles frowned.
“Where are you going?”
“You don’t think I’m coming back,do you?” I sneered, “I just remembered there’s a succulent I didn’t take with me. I don’t want it to be tainted by the filth of thieves.”
Charles appeared somewhat frustrated. “Charlotte Edwards, I won’t take advantage of you. I’ve already arranged things with the Bluesky Dance Troupe. The lead dancer position is still yours,and there are several dance variety shows coming up. You won’t lose out.”
I laughed. “Charles, are these resources you arranged for me meant to include Olivia?”
“I’m the lead dancer,she’s the backup. I appear on variety shows,and she’s just a guest. You’ve calculated that I won’t lose my temper in front of the cameras,right? You think you can use me to whitewash her?”
“Charles,how low can you go?”
“Charlotte Edwards!” Charles,enraged,kicked the nearby coffee table.
The juice spilled,and it was about to drip onto the carpet when Olivia rushed to clean it up.
I unintentionally glanced at the cloth in her hand and my eyes widened in shock. “Stop!!”
I rushed over and snatched the pink checkered cloth from Olivia’s stunned hands.
The pink and white pattern that I remembered had now been stained with yellow–gray smudges,and the corner with the character “Wan” was even torn.
“Olivia! Who told you to use this as a rag?” I demanded sharply.
Olivia was startled. “What are you doing? It’s just a rag.I picked it up casually. Charles,look at her-”
“Charlotte Edwards,” Charles said coldly,“Don’t overstep.”
“Charles,” my voice trembled.“The handkerchief I searched for so long.I don’t believe you don’t recognize it.”
Charles’s gaze finally shifted to the handkerchief in my hand. He froze for a moment. “… I didn’t pay attention. Who

told you to throw things around?”
“How can you say that?” I gripped the handkerchief tightly.my eyes red. “Mom embroidered this handkerchief for me. You saw it and even said you would add the character ‘Charles‘ after ‘Rebecca.‘ How could you not recognize it?”
