Chapter 98:
The blackness overwhelmed her like countless dark clouds.
It made people congested and their heartbeats almost suffocating, close to death.
However, Kennedy easily dissolved this symptom of hers today.
“I’m sorry……” Charlotte could only quietly apologize, “Looks like I’m going to give you trouble if this keeps up ……”
“What, you want to go on retreat? Now you attend only as a chaperone. If you attend in the capacity of Miss Moore, will you back off too?”
What? Charlotte was a bit confused by this last sentence, and couldn’t quite come to her senses.
What did she mean by attending as Miss Moore in the future – weren’t they going to get divorced?

The moment Charlotte froze, Kennedy realized what she had said. He frowned slightly and looked at her.
The woman was stunned again.
Was the woman thinking about what she had just said?
Inexplicably, Kennedy felt annoyed, “Did you hear me?”
Charlotte came to her senses and nodded mutely, “Yes.”
The expression on her face was quite subdued. She pushed Kennedy away, her soft aura mingling with Kennedy’s cool, powerful aura.
The walk was quiet. Not that anyone wanted to talk to Kennedy, but he was cold.
Lord Zhou the host of this banquet came out to greet him.
“It is an honor to have Mr. Kennedy here.”
Kennedy met his eyes and said in a clam voice, “I didn’t entertain you last time when we talked about cooperation, so today I am here to make amends for my mistake.”
Mr. Zhou looked calm and self-possessed, and raised his glass to Kennedy, “Thank you very much.”
After that, his gaze fell on Charlotte, who stood behind Kennedy.
When she met Mr. Zhou’s gaze, Charlotte suddenly became nervous.
Mr. Zhou’s gaze left soon after landing on her cheek, after which she looked at Kennedy, “Mr. Kennedy?”
Kennedy understood and told Charlotte to come closer.
“I’m going upstairs to talk to Mr. Zhou about something.”
Hearing that, Charlotte took a sharp breath, “Can I come up with you?”
“Stay here.”
Charlotte’s face turned slightly pale, “Me, stay here?”
“Wait fifteen minutes for me.”
“Okay, fine.” She had no room to resist and could only nod.
Soon Nathan and Kennedy disappeared. Before they left, Kennedy told her not to walk around, to stay obediently in her seat and wait for him to return.
Seeing Kennedy’s figure disappear before her eyes, Charlotte felt anxious.
The last time she had attended a banquet as his attendant, he had left her alone after entering the banquet.
This time he entered as her chaperone and still left her behind.
After he left with Mr. Zhou, Charlotte was left alone in the same place. People were curious about her identity, but dared not ask why Kennedy was there. Now Kennedy was gone, they approached her.
“Mr. Kennedy always attended without female company, how come he suddenly changed?”
“I hear Mr. Kennedy just got married, so is that you?”
“No!” A clear female voice interrupted the other party’s question. Charlotte’s hand tensed unconsciously, she pretended to look calmly at the other, “Hi, I’m Mr. Kennedy’s new assistant, my last name is Wilson.”
“Wilson? I heard the person Mr. Kennedy married is named Christina Wilson.”
Charlotte blushed slightly, “Really? I’m honored to have the same last name as Mr. Kennedy’s wife.”
She hadn’t forgotten what Kennedy had told her.
She couldn’t let outsiders know she was Kennedy’s wife, because he believed it would only make her lose face.
“Really? His wife’s last name is Wilson and your last name is Wilson. You’re really not his wife?”
Charlotte tried to keep a smile on her face, “Thank you, but no.”
“Oh, then you’re his assistant.”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen an assistant to Mr. Kennedy.”
Charlotte started to get nervous again, the blackness in front of her eyes. She bit her lower lip, turned around and hid in a corner.
She found a quiet place to sit, and the eyes focusing on her began to dissipate. Charlotte sat for a while and gradually calmed down, then her eyes began to clear.
She saw a glass of red wine on the table and was about to pick it up to drink. But when she thought she was pregnant, she put the wine down.
Just after she put the glass down, a male voice was heard over her head.
“Assistant Wilson, may I ask you for a dance?”
The sudden appearance of a male voice startled Charlotte. She raised her eyes and saw a man in a suit looking at her with a slight smile.
Charlotte was quick to shake her head, “Thank you, but I don’t know how to dance.”
“That’s okay, I can teach you.”
Charlotte looked down, “I’m sorry, I really don’t know how to dance.”
The man looked a little disappointed, but kept smiling, “It’s okay if you don’t dance, can I have a drink with you?”.
Charlotte looked at him again and saw that he had a clean smile, without any malicious look, except that his intent toward her was obvious. Charlotte turned him down.
“I can’t drink.”
Man: “All right.”
“Tsk, such an arrogant assistant, Kayden Chang, did you back out?”
As the man was about to leave, a familiar male voice was abruptly heard, with a cold, mocking tone.
Gerald Carter appeared with three men behind him. They must have been his subordinates.
His gait was different. He now looked like a loser.
Seeing him, Charlotte stood up abruptly.
“What, are you afraid to see me?” Gerald looked at Charlotte with a sinister smile, but said to Kayden, “Kayden Chang, you are too weak. Even an assistant hasn’t respected you. You shouldn’t let her go.”
Kayden was a gentleman, and he couldn’t help but frown when he heard such vulgar words from her.
“Mr. Gerald, you go too far. I never force myself on others. Even if she is an assistant, she should be respected.”
