CHAPTER 1357 REALIZING HE IS ANGRY

When Kieran called back, Charlotte knew that it was Brody and Andrew who had told her to come here.

This is a trap that Brody set for himself.

She didn't want to lose face to Camilla, and she also wanted to secure a guest spot for Jerry in “Adam's Garden.” So, she had no choice but to walk into this trap.

As everyone was chatting, the door to the private room opened again. Charlotte paused for a moment when she saw the man being led in by the waiter.

“Jerry, come here,” someone called out as they stood up to greet him.

After listening to a few lines of conversation between that person and Jerry, Charlotte found out that he was a producer from a certain company. Jerry's next film would be produced by their company, and there was also an investor at the table.

That producer is a regular here and knew that Jerry was dining here, so he asked the waiter to invite him over.

After chatting for a short while, someone began to toast Charlotte. She smiled and clinked glasses with them. Once she sat back down, she took this opportunity to bring up a matter with Brody.

Brody suddenly asked, “Lottie, how did your dad's overseas investments break the funding chain?”

Charlotte's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her smile. “I'm not very smart and I don't understand business, so I'm not clear about this matter either.”

Brody let out a sigh, “It's just bankruptcy, what's the big deal? Your dad is so capable, it wouldn't be difficult for him to make a comeback. Why would he commit suicide over this? It's really not worth it...”

Charlotte held her wine glass tightly, her eyes downcast and remaining silent.

“Hey, I heard you're working as an agent at a production company now?” Brody persistently asked, spreading his legs under the table and deliberately moving closer to Charlotte.

“Um,” Charlotte calmly avoided his touch without showing any emotion.

Brody stroked his chin and said, “You're used to living a luxurious life, how can you endure this kind of hard work? I have a friend who owns a cosmetics company. How about I arrange for you to work there as a manager?”

Charlotte held back her temper and gently declined, “No need, I quite enjoy my current job.”

As dinner was almost over, the waiter brought in a plate of juicy peaches.

Now is not the season for juicy peaches, but these peaches have been specially cultivated by fruit farmers for Jazona Clubhouse, exclusively for their dining guests.

Brody picked up a peach from the fruit plate, but he didn't rush to eat it. Instead, he played with the peach's surface using his fingers.

After the peach flesh was softened, he inserted his fingers into the peach and moved them in and out twice. The scene was full of eroticism, making Charlotte feel utterly disgusted.

Brody pulled out his hand and licked the juice off his fingers.

He turned to look at Charlotte, smiling as he said, “Lottie is just like this ripe peach, perfectly matured...”

Before Brody could finish speaking, a wine bottle was fiercely smashed over his head, drenching his face in half a bottle of red wine. Jerry, with a gloomy expression, threw away the broken shards in his hand and roughly grabbed Charlotte.

It wasn't until several minutes after the two had left the private room that the others finally reacted.

Charlotte's wrist ached from the man's tight grip as she stumbled along in her high heels. As they left the courtyard, a cold wind blew, making her shiver all over. : text © owner.

“I didn't bring my coat,” Charlotte said with a pained expression. “That's a Dior coat, worth more than thirty thousand!”

Jerry suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Charlotte couldn't brake in time and collided with his arm. The next moment, the pain in her wrist eased as Jerry let go of her and walked away.

His pace was extremely fast, and Charlotte could tell that he was angry.

Although she was reluctant to part with her beloved coat, she didn't want to go back and see Brody's disgusting face either. So, she quickly told the waiter at Jazona Clubhouse and hurriedly chased after

Jerry.

Fortunately, Jazona Clubhouse was located in an alley, with cars parked outside. She quickly went out and jogged to catch up with the man ahead.

It was freezing cold in the evening, so Charlotte wore a knitted dress and thin silk stockings. She went up to Jerry, opened his coat, and skillfully slipped inside.
