“No“” Rebecca asked again, her brows furrowed in confusion.

Lynn also looked perplexed as she replied, “Yeah, I can’t see it either.”

A mysterious smile played on Charlie’s lips as he suddenly produced a magnifying glass and handed it to Rebecca. “Take a look at this,” he suggested.

Rebecca was taken aback but accepted the magnifying glass anyway.

Could it really be so precise that she needed a magnifying glass to see it?

“Quick! Take a look,” Courtney urged, unable to contain her curiosity.

Rebecca carefully scanned the earrings with the magnifying glass and finally spotted her name engraved at the

very bottom.

It was true!

“It is engraved with such precision,” Lynn marveled in amazement.

What was even more impressive was that despite the precise engraving, there was no visible flaw on the outside. The engraved area seemed to meld with the earring’s design seamlessly.

“Put it on for the ribbon–cutting ceremony we’ll be going together later,” Charlie coaxed with a smile.

Rebecca snapped back to reality and complied with Charlie’s suggestion. Meanwhile, Lynn took the magnifying glass from Rebecca’s hand and watched as Rebecca put on the earrings and bracelet again.

“What about you?” Courtney inquired, directing her gaze at Charlie.

Charlie chuckled and settled onto a stool, stating, “You’re still as sharp as ever, Courtney.”

Rebecca couldn’t help but chuckle; Charlie was forever the life of the

party.

When it came to makeup, guys had it easy. Courtney only needed half an hour to work her magic on Charlie before

she was done.

“Okay, let’s all go to the store together,” Charlie declared cheerfully, clapping his hands with excitement.

“Charlie,” Lynn interjected anxiously, “You…are you coming too?”

Charlie raised an eyebrow, turning to look at Lynn before flashing a smile at Rebecca. “Of course!

“It’s Becky’s first endorsement gig: I’ve got to be there to watch her back!” Charlie asserted confidently.

Watching Charlie, Rebecca couldn’t help but feel the comforting presence beneath his lively, boyish exterior.

“Do you have the invitation?” Lynn asked curiously.

Charlie chuckled, “Of course I do! Getting it is a piece of cakel”

With that, Charlie pulled out a red invitation card from his pocket.

Lynn examined the invitation and confirmed its authenticity, her gaze flickering between Charlie and Rebecca.

“There’s something I’m not sure if I should ask.” Lynn tentatively began.

“Becky and I aren’t dating. We don’t have romantic feelings for each other, and we will never be together in our lives. Is that answer satisfactory for you?” Charlie explained.

Lynn chuckled, explaining, “It’s just a professional inquiry.”

“I understand,” Charlie nodded.

Lynn simply suspected that Charlie was treating Rebecca well because they were dating.

Charlie looked at Rebecca, affectionately ruffling her hair, and said with a smile, “Lynn, I think of Becky as my little sister, and I just want to protect her well for the rest of my life!

Lynn froze because the phrase “rest of my life” slipped from Charlie’s mouth naturally. Though simple, it carried a profound weight that would span a lifetime.

“Okay,” Lynn nodded in agreement after some thought.

Inside Janet’s dressing room at Evergrande Entertainment.

Today, it was the ribbon–cutting ceremony for Carter’s Jewel branch opening, followed by the much–anticipated grand opening banquet.

Janet slipped into her meticulously prepared black gown and adorned her neck with the latest gold necklace from Carter’s Jewel, which she had bought at the Hivalis store a couple of days ago. While gazing at herself in the mirror for a while, she marveled at her beauty.

The necklace around her neck was particularly stunning, making Janet stare at her reflection, repeatedly comparing her makeup and the necklace to see if they matched.

Janet, that necklace from the Carter family suits you perfectly, Lisa praised from the side.

Janet chuckled and replied as she sat down, “That’s for sure.

“When does the banquet start?” Janet inquired again.

Glancing at the time, Lisa replied, “It’s still an hour away. We’ll wait a bit longer before heading out.”

Janet nodded slightly. “Sure.”

Janet glanced over at Mary and Arthur standing nearby. She had recently given birth and was allowed to bring her son to work by the company, so usually, Mary would take care of Arthur while Janet was busy with work.

Mary became a bit nervous when she saw Janet approaching.

Sitting down beside them, Janet picked up one of Arthur’s toys and played with him.

While absent–mindedly watching Arthur’s face, Janet’s mind wandered off, hoping to replace his features resembling either hers or Theodore’s on the child’s face.

Knowing Arthur was hers and Theodore’s son made her heart swell with anticipation for the future.

But after she stared at him for a while, her brows furrowed gradually. Why did it feel like… Arthur didn’t have any features that resembled Theodore’s?

They said sons took after their mothers, while daughters took after their fathers. Could it be that because Arthur was a boy, so he resembled Janet more than Theodore?

Janet pondered for a moment before she relaxed. Perhaps it was normal for her son not to resemble Theodore so much?

Carter’s Jewel was adorned with large banners from inside out, while a large group of staff dressed in suits celebrated the occasion joyfully.

At the entrance of the jewelry store, two rows of flowers lined the path, and a red carpet covered the ground. Many citizens gathered around, wearing smiles as they curiously observed the ribbon–cutting ceremony.

When Rebecca and Charlie’s car arrived, it was actually still early, but the place was already bustling with an

excited crowd.

As Charlie stepped out of the car, many passersby recognized him and exclaimed, “Is that Charlie?”

“Oh my gosh, it’s Charlie! I can’t believe my idol’s here!”

Passersby were initially shocked, but soon their expressions turned to excitement. This was especially true for

Charlie’s fans, who quickly realized the situation and hurried over.

Thankfully, the Carter family had already arranged for security guards to intercept these emotionally charged fans, preventing any chaos.

Charlie also noticed his fans and turned to greet them with a happy wave as they approached.

Some fans who had seen Rebecca with Charlie on a variety show quickly recognized her and exclaimed in delight, “That’s Becky, right?”

“Is it Becky?”

“I’m going crazy! Charlie and Becky are still together, and they’re even attending events together!”

The fans shouted excitedly, hastily taking out their phones to take pictures of them.

Rebecca glanced sideways at Charlie, then followed his lead, raising her hand and greeting everyone graciously, “Hello, everyone, I’m Becky.”

Hearing Rebecca’s greeting, the fans who were eagerly taking photos became even more excited, shouting, “Becky is talking to us! Her voice sounds even nicer than during the livestreams!”
