Arthur watched her, her eyes filled with wariness, his tone

icy. “Charlotte, aren’t you taking this too far? Julius is your son. Aret you going to keep treating him so coldly?”

Charlotte rubbed her wrist, calmly replying, “I'm not being cold to him. | simply have an equal dislike for all rude,

arrogant, and unpleasant children.”

Arthur was speechless.

His expression grew even more strained, his gaze fixed on her with intensified coldness.

Charlotte said cautiously, “You can’t forceto pretend to like. him, can you? What's the point of insincere

“You three should just be a happy family.

“You mind him being close to Sarah?”

Unexpectedly, Arthur's tone softened, the coldness on his face. fading slightly, replaced by a playful glint in his

eyes.

Charlotte stared at him, speechless, her face expressionless. “I

With that, she turned and walked away.

She had made herself clear; he couldn't possibly misunderstand.

Arthur watched her walk away, a thin smile playing on his lips. It seemed she really did mind Sarah.

She still cared about Julius and him.

Charlotte took Mabel and left without another word.

Arthur went to find Julius.

“You need to keep your distance from Sarah from now on,” het said.

“Why?” Julius’ face was creased with confusion.

“Your mother doesn’t like Sarah,” Arthur explained calmly. “If you're close to her, your mother will be unhappy.”

Julius frowned. “But Ms. Miller is nice. | like her.”

Arthur gave him a cool look. “Who do you want more, your mom or Sarah?”

Julius fell silent.

Before, he would have chosen Sarah without hesitation. She was beautiful, gentle, and talented. When she

danced, she shone so brightly. Watching her from the audience filled him with joy and

pride.

But now, he hesitated.

Seeing Mabel bask in Charlotte’s affection, he wanted that, too.

He used to have all of Charlotte's attention.

He didn’t want to lose it.

Arthur looked at the conflicted expression on his little face and said calmly, “Make your choice. | won't interfere

too much, but don’t regret it later.”

Charlotte met Diana at the entrance of a film and television

company.

Tina, trailing behind her, greeted Charlotte with a cheerful smile.

Diana, with her ethereal beauty and aloof demeanor, said, “With Charlene’s comeback, many people want to

collaborate with you. I've shortlisted shigh-quality artists, all hardworking and scandal-free. Partnering with

them will boost your fame.”

Charlotte gave her a finger heart. “Thank you for your hard work, honey.”

“It's no trouble at all,” Diana replied. “I'm your agent. You making money means | make money.”

They entered the building and stepped into the elevator. Diana

lowered her voice. “About that incident, | have a lead. | found a surveillance video showing someone suspiciously

approaching the table with the glasses. Shortly after, a waiter took those glasses away. Arthur drank one of

those drinks and becdisoriented.”

Charlotte's eyes lit up. “Did you see the person's face clearly?”

Diana took out her phone and showed her.

The surveillance footage was blurry, but it was clear that the figure was a woman dressed in a cleaner’s uniform,

with a hat and mask covering her face completely.

Charlotte's expression froze. “This person is the key. We need to find a way to get the staff list from the cocktail

party.”

“That's going to be tough,” Diana said, her face grim. “Brace yourself, Charlotte. This could turn into a real

mess.”

Charlotte lowered her eyes, a feeling of dread settling in her stomach. If they couldn't get to the bottom of this,

the blwould forever hang over her head.

For the past five years, she hadn't bothered investigating. She'd been in love with Arthur, and she'd held onto

hope for Julius. Before Sarah, before the realization that she was a stand-in, before the crushing discovery that

she was utterly dispensable, she’d actually had expectations for her life.

Even though he had bluntly stated that he would never love her...

“Ding!”

The elevator doors slid open. Charlotte composed herself and said calmly, “Take your time, Diana. It's okay if we

can’t find anything.”

Chapter 144 Real Mess. “Alright.”

Someone was waiting by the elevator.

“Excuse me, are you Ms. Charlene?”

Charlotte nodded. “Please, just callCharlene.”

“Hello, hello! I'm Steven Wills, Hendrick’s assistant. Please cwith me. Hendrick’s already waiting for you in

the studio.”

Hendrick Andrew was a trending hotshot, a male celebrity who'd skyrocketed to fwith a hit historical .

He was raking in endorsement deals left and right.

This time, he was shooting a commercial for a nationally recognized brand, and that was where Charlene came

in.

Upon entering the studio, they saw a man seated in a chair, surrounded by seven or eight staff members fussing

over him. They were busily touching up his makeup, wiping away sweat, and adjusting his clothes.

“Hendrick, Charlene’s here.” Steven jogged over to Hendrick and whispered.

Hendrick looked up. In person, he wasn't as striking as he appeared on screen. His skinny frmade his bones

prominent, but his features were indeed delicate, the kind of pretty boy look that was all the rage with young

women these days.

Tina stepped forward to discuss the project with Hendrick’s manager, Reese White.

The shoot included promotional photos and short videos spanning three days. There were also outdoor scenes

planned, making the schedule pretty tight.

Charlotte decided to start with the promotional posters, figuring that nailing the style for those would set the

tone for the commercial.

She walked straight towards Hendrick. Just as she was about to speak, someone stopped her. “You can say

whatever you need to from there. Why are you getting so close?”

The person's tone was wary as if she were skind of suspicious character with ill intentions.

Charlotte paused, then spoke, but her voice was soft.

Hendrick frowned. “What did you say? Speak up, will you?”

Charlotte calmly replied, “If you listen carefully, you'll hearjust fine.”

Hendrick looked up from his phone, his eyes widening as he took in Charlotte's appearance. A flicker of

admiration crossed his face, and his attitude instantly shifted. He flashed her at charming smile.

“Sorry about that. | was just replying to a message. What were you saying? Could you repeat it?” Hendrick rose

to his feet and walked towards her.

Charlotte met his gaze with calm, clear eyes. She reiterated the shooting requirements and added, “Your

makeup isn’t quite

right for this. It needs to be redone.”

She explained that while his meticulously groomed eyebrows and eyes were striking, the brand emphasized a

natural aesthetic, not a heavily stylized one.

“Sure, no problem,” Hendrick agreed readily. “Why don’t you stay and supervise? Feel free to give the makeup

artist any feedback.”

He reached for her hand as he spoke.

The surrounding staff members didn’t bat an eye, even stepping aside to give them more space. It was clearly a

familiar scene for them.
