Fled With CEO's Twin Babies novel (Mia and Joe)
Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Grand Debut

After the incident with Yeates, Charlotte received both a court subpoena and an invitation to the Wolkin preliminary banquet.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, the gold trim catching the light, a cold smile played at the corner of Charlotte's lips. Having endured cyberbullying for so long, it was about time those people experienced the same taste.

On the evening of the banquet, everyone speculated whether Charlotte, embroiled in scandals, would make an appearance. After all, the lawsuit had garnered significant attention, and it was said that Saxton had already issued a court subpoena-this time, it was getting serious.

If they were in Charlotte's shoes, they would not attend the banquet and might even be too afraid to step out of their doors.

As the crowd buzzed with discussions, Charlotte appeared on the red carpet, arm in arm with Joe.

She was dressed in a sleek black haute couture gown that bared her back, her makeup giving her a sharp yet bold appearance. Her vivid red lips radiated an exceptionally powerful aura.

Everyone present was stunned. No one had expected that Charlotte would have the audacity to appear at the banquet amid such a turbulent situation.

"No wonder she managed to become a president. Her mental fortitude is beyond ordinary. If it were me... I would have died of shame long ago. How could I still flaunt myself like this?"

Someone in the crowd uttered this, and others immediately chimed in, echoing the sentiment.

Charlotte casually glanced in the direction of the voice and provocatively curled her lip.

The person who had spoken was suddenly wide-eyed. He never dreamed that Charlotte would dare to provoke him!

Before he could say anything, a red figure swiftly entered the scene.

His gaze landed on Lisa's face. He knew that Charlotte seemed to have some unresolved issues with Lisa, so he settled in comfortably to watch the drama unfold.

As he anticipated, Lisa strode straight up to Charlotte, a sinister smile gracing her lips. "Heard you received a court subpoena? Instead of focusing on the lawsuit, why bother attending this kind of competition? The organizing committee won't let someone with a flawed character like you pass the preliminary round anyway. I advise you to go home quickly!"

Charlotte keenly sensed that Lisa's demeanor was a bit peculiar. Her gaze swept over Lisa, noting several discordant aspects.

Lisa was wearing a red evening gown today, which didn't quite fit her well. Not only were her jewelry choices haphazard, but even her hairstyle seemed a bit messy, making her look a far cry from the delicate princess she used to be.

These years, Master Phil had been generous to Lisa. Even though she had left her financial backer now, she shouldn't have fallen into such a desolate state.

Seeing that Charlotte didn't respond, Lisa's emotions escalated further, her voice becoming sharp. "Charlotte! You're just relying on a bit of money, so you shamelessly plagiarize without any regard? Now, your hypocritical facade is going to be torn apart! I will make you pay!"

Charlotte, who had taken out her phone to record once Lisa appeared, subtly curled her lip. She then calmly put her phone away and spoke deliberately, "Every word you just said has been recorded by me. I'll have my lawyer charge you with defamation and threats. Let's see if you'll be so bold when confronted with legal consequences."

Lisa's expression underwent a dramatic change. She reached out, attempting to snatch Charlotte's phone while muttering, "I don't want the police! No reporting allowed!"

Her behavior grew increasingly bizarre, and without drawing attention, Joe discreetly positioned himself between Lisa and Charlotte, shielding Charlotte behind him. Witnessing this scene, Lisa, who was already emotionally charged, completely lost control.

She let out a sharp, abrupt scream, continuing her mutterings, even attempting to reach out and pull Charlotte, trying to seize the phone from her grip. Charlotte's reflexes were lightning-fast, preventing Lisa from succeeding.
