Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: She Must Make Charlotte Thompson Pay the Price
She felt that this man was her savior, granting her a new lease on life, but at the same time, for Evelyn Curtis, he was also her greatest fear.
Every time she thought back to that period, Evelyn only felt her throat go dry.
"Forget it," Leon Battleson scoffed with a grunt, "It’s no fun if you say the same things as Charlotte Thompson."
Then he turned around to look at Evelyn, who was still kneeling on the ground, and with a lift of his foot, motioned for her to stand up.
"In a couple of days, I will take you to meet Justin Battleson. The chances of you entering Riley Group are slim, so you better continue in the entertainment industry," said Leon indifferently.
"Thank you, young master," Evelyn replied, pressing her forehead but a shadow flickered across the bottom of her eyes.
Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson, I am back; welcome me properly.
In a daze, Evelyn reached out to touch her cheek but suddenly felt a sharp pain, which made her retract her fingers and bite her lip unwillingly.
This time, she was determined to make Charlotte Thompson pay the price.
"Cough cough..." Charlotte Thompson held her fist to her mouth, coughing softly.
Justin Battleson noticed her condition and pulled her coat closer around her, "You’ve been overworking recently, haven’t you? Your body can’t take it."
"I’m fine, there’s no need to make such a fuss," Charlotte smiled up at Justin.
Justin tightened his grip on Charlotte’s fingers in his palm, "It is you who always cause people to worry."
Charlotte glanced at Justin, and at that moment, the children lined up and walked out of the kindergarten.
On seeing Justin Battleson and Charlotte, they came bounding over excitedly.
"Daddy, mommy!"
Hank Thompson was always the first one to run over, beaming a brilliant smile at Justin Battleson and Charlotte.
Charlotte had initially stretched out her hand to pinch the little fellow’s cheek, but the cheeky boy slipped away just before she could.
Behind Hank, Chad Thompson and Annie stood shoulder to shoulder, each holding a beautiful wreath.
"Mommy, mommy," Annie called out, waving her hand at Charlotte.
Naturally accommodating, Charlotte bent down, supporting herself on her knees.
Annie then slipped the wreath she was holding onto Charlotte’s head.
"This is a wreath the kindergarten teacher taught us to make today; Annie and little Hank made it together, for mommy."
The wreath, made of fresh flowers, carried a faint fragrance when worn on the head, relaxing Charlotte slightly.
Charlotte lifted Annie, "Annie, you are mommy’s good daughter. Mommy really likes the wreath, thank you Annie, thank you little Hank."
"If mommy likes it, then that’s great," Annie hugged Charlotte’s neck, rubbing her cheek against hers.
Meanwhile, a somewhat embarrassed Hank scratched his head on the side.
On the other side, Chad tiptoed, aiming to place his wreath on Justin Battleson’s head.
"Dad Justin, this is a wreath made by Chad and Jack for you," Chad said, looking at Justin hopefully.
The children were young, so the act of making such a wreath seemed adorable. Though it was such a garish wreath, wearing it made Justin look quite amusing.
Nonetheless, Justin squatted down, allowing Chad to place the wreath on his head.
Although it didn’t matter if Justin wore it or not, wearing it did attract quite a bit of attention from those around.
Not for anything else, but because Justin Battleson’s face was just too good-looking.
It’s said that when ordinary people wear such flashy wreaths, it might look somewhat ridiculous.
