Chapter 240 Troy’s Surprise Move

Chad’s intense gaze remained locked onto her, refusing to let go.

Charlie averted her eyes. She passed by Chad and carried on as though nothing had happened.

Chad suddenly gripped her wrist as they crossed paths. His expression was as dark as coal. He whispered, “Charlie.”

Liam’s presence stung Chad again.

Watching her converse and giggle with Liam brought an indescribable unease, like drowning in the ocean and leaving behind a lasting bitterness.

There was no longer a place for him in her heart.

Charlie paused. Her expression was calm as she said, “Let’s talk later. I’m busy with work right

now.”

Chad watched her for a while before finally letting go and said, “You go on. I’ll let you get back to

work.”

Chad returned backstage to find her when the awards ceremony officially began, but Charlie had already vanished without a trace.

He clenched his fists and returned to his seat in silence.

The man beside him nodded toward Liam, who was singing on stage. “Is that him?”

Chad’s expression grew even darker as he nodded subtly.

The man scanned at Liam and stroked his chin as he commented, “He does bear some resemblance to you.”

He wasn’t talking about appearance. Instead, it was the aura he projected. He had a polished and sophisticated demeanor, like a well–read classic gentleman.

Chad stared intensely at Liam on stage. His eyes grew even more ominous.

Meanwhile, Blake, as the victim, appeared at the mediation session with Erik and Robert.
