CHAPTER 1588: CHAPTER 1588: MARRYING INTO A WEALTHY FAMILY

"What skills does Charlotte Thompson have, just because she married Justin Battleson, does she really think she’s that impressive?"

Charlotte Thompson isn’t in the habit of eavesdropping.

However, upon hearing her own name, Charlotte naturally stopped in her tracks.

"Summer, don’t be mad. Among your suitors, aren’t there any rich kids? Plus, isn’t there a rumor that... the marriage between Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson was forced because she used a child as leverage?"

"Also, I don’t think Charlotte is as pretty as you are, Summer. She must have had something done. It’s really shameless to resort to such means to marry into a wealthy family."

Listening to the slander against her, Charlotte felt more amused than angry.

The people inside seemed to be saying more, but Charlotte chose that moment to open the door and walk in.

Charlotte was somewhat thankful that Annie Anne and Riley Thompson’s two productions had temporarily merged.

Otherwise, how could she overhear such entertaining remarks!

Perhaps not expecting someone to suddenly come in, the two people in the room were stunned, one of them being Summer Lilian.

Having been caught gossiping, the two wore awkward expressions.

The small-time actor who had been talking with Summer hurriedly left the lounge, while Summer quickly adjusted her expression and gave Charlotte an icy snort.

"Why didn’t you knock before coming in? That’s basic etiquette, don’t you know?" Summer’s voice was cold and hard.

Charlotte raised an eyebrow sarcastically, "I wonder if basic etiquette taught you, Miss Summer, not to gossip behind people’s backs?"

Biting her lip at Charlotte’s retort, Summer glared at her, then approached Charlotte with angry strides in her high heels, glaring directly at her.

"How long do you think you can keep your arrogance, Charlotte?"

"Miss Summer, I don’t recall having any grudge against you." Charlotte tilted her head, genuinely puzzled by Summer’s incessant targeting.

But Summer’s next words offered Charlotte a clue.

"Charlotte, how much longer do you think you can stay by Justin’s side? He will soon tire of you."

"Oh? How would Miss Summer know that?" Charlotte gave Summer a curious glance, the gears turning in her mind.

She suddenly remembered that Summer seemed to be an artist under Justin Battleson’s entertainment company.

Summer didn’t respond further but merely raised the corners of her mouth at Charlotte.

"Miss Summer, you got one thing right just now. I did marry into wealth."

Charlotte crossed her arms and smiled at Summer, "But you seemed to forget one thing—I am the heiress of the Thompson Family, I’ve always been elite."

Charlotte’s smile was bright, yet none of it touched her eyes.

"Miss Summer, I’m unsure what point you’re trying to make with your nonsensical words, but I’m not one to enjoy creating trouble. However, that doesn’t mean I’ll stand by and tolerate everything."

Charlotte’s words made Summer step back a bit, her hand pressing onto the dressing table.

"You actually dare to threaten me!"

"Miss Summer, this is a warning."
