Chapter 158 Alexander Says Self-Respect is Impossible
"Alexander, what more do you want!" Charlotte's face darkened too. What was this man trying to do? What did he mean by "in your dreams"?
Alexander's chiseled, ice-cold face remained expressionless, his eyes filled with a terrifying, chilling gaze. He let out a cold laugh, his icy voice reaching Charlotte's ears, "What I, Alexander, don't want, I won't let others have either. If you dare forget me, you're asking for death!"
Charlotte glared at him angrily. What was this lunatic going crazy about now? "I'm a person, not a thing. And even if I were a thing, I wouldn't be yours. What wouldn't I dare? As for forgetting, naturally I can't forget."
Alexander's grip loosened slightly. He was quite satisfied with that last sentence.
But the next second, a mocking smile appeared on Charlotte's delicate face as she spoke sarcastically, "You were never in my heart to begin with. Even if I wanted to forget, I wouldn't know what to forget."
"Is that so?" Alexander raised an eyebrow, his sharp eyes completely cold.
"No one in this world is irreplaceable. You're so curious about who my boyfriend is, right? James is my boyfriend. And tonight I'm going to meet my future in-laws. When we get married, Mr. Wilson, you must come to the wedding." Charlotte blurted out, each word striking directly at his heart.
"You wouldn't dare!" He looked at her coldly, his aloof presence making her feel the air around them had grown colder.
Charlotte hated this arrogant, superior attitude of his most. She straightened her back and met his cold stare, "What wouldn't I dare? Also, unless it's work-related, please don't get too close to me, Mr. Wilson. I'm busy enough without having to explain this kind of boring gossip. Please show some restraint from now on. If you keep this up, I'll definitely call the police."
"Restraint is impossible, so go ahead and call the police." He coldly spat out the words.
Charlotte's lips twitched, "They say a good horse doesn't eat the grass behind it. Your taste really is unique."
This damn bitch was really too hateful!
Alexander pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands, his thin lips parting slightly, "I'm giving you one day to deal with this James situation. Otherwise, forget about staying in the entertainment industry. I don't even need to lift a finger to destroy your reputation."
James was her boyfriend? Meeting her in-laws tonight? Getting married? Don't even think about it!
"Well, I'm really sorry, but you won't get that chance." The bathroom door suddenly opened, and James's steady, powerful voice came through.
Charlotte's heart jumped. Why was he outside? Had he heard everything?
James reached out and dominantly pulled Charlotte into his arms, patting her back and looking at her with gentle affection. Their intimacy completely ignored the cold Alexander standing before them.
Charlotte had wanted to struggle at first, but thinking about Alexander's increasingly excessive harassment in the future, she didn't move and obediently nestled in his arms like a little bird.
She and James were impossible, but she and Alexander were even more impossible. For the sake of having some peace, she had to use James to make Alexander give up on continuing to harass her. If this kept up and the child's matter was discovered, that would be trouble.
She reached out and took James's hand. This action made James pause for a moment, but seeing her bright eyes, he understood immediately. He smiled faintly and gripped her hand even tighter, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Charlotte nodded, "Okay, I'm not afraid."
Alexander watched the two people showing affection in front of him with an expressionless face. Though his face appeared calm enough that you couldn't tell if he was happy or angry, his heart was already burning with rage. He really wanted to reach out regardless of everything and pull that damn Charlotte back. But now wasn't the best time. He wasn't stupid enough to cut off his own escape route.
His cold eyes glanced at Charlotte. This woman - he was determined to have her!
Charlotte finally stood up from his embrace. The handsome man and beautiful woman standing together looked perfectly matched, forming a striking scene.
"Mr. Wilson has always been generous. When you had something, you didn't know how to cherish it. When you lost it, who can you blame? Charlotte is my girlfriend now. I really don't want you targeting Charlotte everywhere or pestering her anymore. I don't want to become enemies with Mr. Wilson." James's face still wore a gentle smile, but a hint of threat flashed through his eyes.
Alexander naturally understood what he meant. He let out a cold laugh and glanced at him fearlessly, "Then you'd better keep a close eye on your girlfriend, because if she can be your girlfriend today, she can be someone else's tomorrow."
"Of course, I'll naturally keep a close eye on my woman. Our relationship doesn't need Mr. Wilson's concern." He looked at Charlotte with gentle eyes and walked away with her.
Watching their figures disappear around the corner, Alexander punched the wall hard, his stern face frighteningly cold, those bloodshot eyes not hiding his fury at this moment.
Yes, he was furious.
That damn Charlotte actually had a boyfriend. Then what about what happened in the car yesterday?
Charlotte, I don't care if you really hate me or really like James. As long as something belongs to me, Alexander, it can never escape. You can't escape from my grasp...
The press conference was completed smoothly. Elegant Jewelry's new jewelry line also went online the same day. In an instant, TV commercials and product images flooded the internet. The transaction volume in just two hours had already exceeded expectations. The prospects looked great, and Charlotte's celebrity effect was fully demonstrated here.
Ian threw a small celebration party, but since Charlotte had scenes to shoot in the afternoon, she left first. During this time, Zara's intentional or unintentional hostile glances left her speechless and helpless.
The new production had moved back to filming inside the Wilson Group. Since it was a period fantasy drama, most of the scenes would be composited in post-production. It looked like they'd be shooting green screen scenes for a long time. It seemed she'd be spending even more time at the Wilson Group in the future.
Today's scenes included scenes with Poppy and scenes with the third female lead, Daisy. When Charlotte came out after getting her makeup done, she met Daisy's not-so-friendly gaze.
"Pay attention in a bit. If that woman tries to actually hit me while acting, record it on video. The people in this crew are getting more and more arrogant." Charlotte snorted coldly, her expression unchanged.
She wasn't unaware of these people's relationship with Sophia. She wasn't some kind soul to begin with. This Daisy had pulled little tricks on her many times during filming. If she kept tolerating it, she wouldn't be Charlotte anymore.
Melissa nodded, "I've been annoyed with her for a while now. A third-tier actress actually daring to give everyone attitude - this woman has quite a backer."
"I don't care what her background is. As long as she offends me, I won't let her off." It had only been half a month of filming, but she felt like so much time had passed. The Wilson Group's artists really were exceptionally arrogant. First there was Zara, now there was Daisy. She felt truly exhausted.
