Chapter 119

"Who are you? Charlotte asked, her expression defensive as the ryed Lysander.

She had noticed him when he walked in, but hadn't paid him misch attention at first.

In her mind. Aubrey was already quite handsome.

But Lysander was even more striking.

But so what? she thought. Even if he is more striking, he couldn't possibly match Aubrey's family background.

After all, the entertainment industry was full of good-looking people, and Charlotte had long been immune to handsome guys

That was why her attitude toward Lysander was far from friendly, and she even found his presence a bit intrusive.

Elara, noticing the tension, turned to Lysander and said, "Let's go. There's no point in engaging with her."

She rugged on his arm, trying to leave.

"Elara!" Charlotte called after her sharply, stopping her in her tracks. "I haven't given you permission to go yet. You think you can just leave?"

"What exactly do you want?" Elara asked, clearly frustrated.

She had never seen someone so intent on making things difficult. After all, there was no serious animosity between her and Charlotte-just some minor friction.

Elara had assumed they could simply part ways and not collaborate in the future.

But Charlotte seemed determined to escalate things.

"I already told you. I want to play the lead role," Charlotte said, her tone impatient. "I'm not even going to hold it against you for signing away the rights to your novel to someone else. I'm giving you a chance here, don't you get that?" She had come here specifically to get Elara's agreement.

Only then could she smooth things over with Aubrey.

Therefore, she wasn't about to let Elara leave without getting what she wanted.

"I..." Elara started to respond, but Lysander interrupted, turning to Charlotte with a cold expression. "Who gave you the right to talk to her like that?"

She seemed to be threatening Elara, and Lysander was very unhappy with that.

Charlotte scoffed at him, clearly unimpressed. She thought he was as clueless as Elara.

"Why are you getting involved? Don't you realize I'm doing this for her own good? I want to star in her novel, and she should be grateful to me for giving her this chance!" Charlotte said.

Lysander's frown deepened at what Charlotte said. "My girlfriend doesn't need it," he said sharply.

Charlotte rolled her eyes at his naiveté, assuming he didn't know who she was. She tried to explain, "My boyfriend is Mr. Blue-Blooded of the Hawthorne family-you know, the Hawthorne family of Starfield City. It's a blessing that I even bothered to read her book. You should tell her not to let a little popularity go to her head and to appreciate people like me."

Chapter 119

Elara, standing to the sttle-noticed that Lysander's expression hal darkened considerably.

She coughed and reminded Charlotte, "Standing in front of you is, as you said, Mr. Blue-Blooded of the Hawthorne family How do you even not recognize him when you claim that you have a good relationship with the Hawthorne family and boast about how great your boyfriend is?"

Charlotte was speechless.

Charlotte glanced at Lysander. "Are you kidding me, Elara? Everafter posing as my boyfriend's fiancée yourself, now you bring a fake and try to pass him off as Mr. Blue-Blooded! Do you really think I won't do anything about this?" of this.

Lysander couldn't listen anymore. "Then call your boyfriend over!" he demanded. He was determined to get to the bottom

"Why should he come just because you want him to?" Charlotte scoffed.

worse.

Aubrey had already blacklisted her, and she knew if she bothered him with something like this, it would only make things Her goal now was to make Elara agree to her request.

Lysander wasn't backing down. "So, what's your boyfriend's name? You should know that, right?"

"You don't know about Mr. Blue-Blooded? His name is Aubrey!"

Charlotte's family was also from Starfield City, and Aubrey was Felicity's only son..

She had met him before but never expected to get into a relationship with him.

Therefore, of course, she was proud of that!

After all, not just anyone could go out with Aubrey.

Lysander frowned at the mention of Aubrey's name, and even Elara looked a little surprised. Lysander took out his phone and made a call.

Soon, Aubrey's voice came through. "Lysander, are you guys at the hotel yet?"

"Your girlfriend's here. You should come check this out," Lysander said.

"Girlfriend? What girlfriend?" Aubrey sounded stiff, then suddenly realized something.

'Could it be Charlotte? Damn!' he thought.

Lysander ended the call, then turned back to Charlotte, unhurried. "Since you said Aubrey is your boyfriend, he's already on his way. Let's see who gave you the nerve to say what you just said."

And she even dared to claim that Elara should be grateful to her. Lysander couldn't help but wonder if her brain was broken. Elara glanced at Lysander and said, "If she's really Aubrey's girlfriend, let's just drop it."

After all, she owed Aubrey a favor and didn't want Lysander to make things difficult between them.

But Lysander was firm. "I only called him to ask. I'm curious how he would explain his so-called 'girlfriend."

Elara cleared her throat at Lysander's words and looked at him. "So what? Maybe your girlfriend isn't so highly regarded by

your family after all?"

After all, her previous affair with Asher had even reached the Hawthorne family last time.

Lysander shot her a look. "Just wait. He'll be here soon."

He didn't have much time on this, but he could wait at this time

Charlotte noticed the brief exchange between them.

She stepped back, feeling slightly awkward, and asked the agent beside her, "He doesn't actually know Aubrey, does he?"

Lysander's demeanor was too composed.

His entire aura seemed different, and for a moment, Charlotte felt confused.

The agent shrugged. "I've heard Aubrey has an older brother who was raised in Brookfield. Could be him?"

Charlotte's eyes flickered with a hint of disdain. "Him? Just someone raised in Brookfield, with his mother gone for so many years, and he still thinks he can challenge who really runs the Hawthorne family? So he's Elara's boyfriend. No wonder she had the nerve to stand

up to me!"

Even knowing that this man in front of her was Aubrey's brother Charlotte couldn't imagine Felicity allowing the son of her husband's ex-wife to overshadow her own son.

Therefore, in Charlotte's mind, Aubrey was the true "Mr. Blue-Blooded" from the Hawthorne family.

This realization filled her with renewed determination.

Hearing that Aubrey was on his way, Charlotte suddenly felt no worry.

It wasn't long before Aubrey arrived.

The car pulled up to the entrance, and the hotel driver opened the door for him.

As soon as he stepped inside, Charlotte hurried over to greet him. "Baby, you're finally here!"

Aubrey glanced at her coldly. "It is you."

Lysander had mentioned his girlfriend, and Aubrey now understood who Lysander was referring to.

Charlotte grabbed his hand. "Why did you blacklisted me? Was it because I messed up the copyright deal?"

Realizing Lysander was Aubrey's brother had made everything fall into place for her.

It had to be Elara who'd tattled on her!

'How dare she interfere in her relationship and try to break her and Aubrey up over something so trivial!' she thought. 'Don't be ridiculous!'

Aubrey sighed. "We've already broken up. Stop clinging to me. You're not trying to cause more trouble, are you?"

Aubrey had felt uneasy the entire way over, his right eyelid twitching the whole time.
