After Death, Love Unveiled

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."

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.
