Cassius chose the seemingly smartest but actually the stupidest solution, which was to escape. But of course, he failed. Instead, he was caught and beaten up by Zachariah's men. That was how he got the bruises on his body. They were also the ones who injected Onyx into Cassius's body. Cassius was never the one to lie, so he told Charlotte everything.

As Charlotte listened, she frowned and said, "Where did Zachariah find the courage to do that? Wasn't he afraid that you would call the police?"

"Do you think I dare to do that? If it weren't for you guys, who else would seek justice for me? Even if I went to the police station and reported to the police, what could I do if Zachariah buys them off by treating them to a meal? Besides, they injected Onyx into my body because they were afraid that I would call the police. I took the drug... I could have been in terrible shape if it weren't for you guys." Cassius smiled bitterly.

"Don't be afraid." Charlotte patted him on the shoulder, her expression becoming much softer than before. "I will help you solve this problem, you..." "Miss Charlotte, I don't want to bother you. This is a complicated matter. I'm scared that it will cause you trouble, so I hope that I can have a fair competition with Zayn Kiefer. I think I'm going to take part in the filming of the recent musical, 'Eternal Love'." "You want to have a showdown with him on screen?" Charlotte frowned.

"That's right."

"No problem, but you'll have to wait until the problem is solved. I can hide my identity first, and you can play along too. But if something happens, you must tell me as soon as possible, okay?" Cassius smiled softly and bowed to her. "Miss Charlotte, I'll remember everything you said, and I hope you can believe in me. Although I'm not that capable, I'm loyal, and I'm willing to be your pawn." Charlotte didn't know what happened to Cassius, but she had always thought that he was quite pitiful, so she said, "You don't have to say all these unnecessary words. Film better videos and make all the fans stand up for you. That will be the first thing you do for me. As long as this is over, even without me, you can still have a meteoric rise in the future."

"Miss Charlotte, I don't want a meteoric rise without you." Cassius looked at her seriously.

"I have a husband." Charlotte frowned and continued, "And I don't have the slightest interest in your appearance. I advise you not to ask for humiliation."

Ask for humiliation.

The smile on Cassius's face instantly froze. He lowered his head and said in a low and hoarse voice, "I'm sorry that I bothered you. Perhaps, you don't understand the mind of a pessimist like me. I was already pushed to the edge of the cliff. And you were still willing to help me during times like this. I want to protect you no matter what. Even if I have to give up my life, I will always stay by your side. As long as you give me this opportunity, I..."

"Stop. We're just partners, and I'm only using you. You don't have to do this. Otherwise, I don't mind paying the penalty to you immediately."

"That's not what I meant. I just want to say that I don't have any romantic feelings for you. It's just sheer loyalty that I have for you. Was Sucky Barnes enamored with Captain America? Was Captain Marvel in love with Nick Fury? But, they could still sacrifice their lives and blood for their leaders. The same goes to me," Cassius said as he knelt on one knee and held up four fingers. "I swear."

Charlotte was speechless. She helped Cassius up and said, "You really don't have to do this. Our plan has succeeded. You are a free man now. You..."

"Actually, I've always had a question to ask you."
