Chapter 682: Chapter 682: The Relationship of Jointly Raising a Child
Charlotte Thompson lazily lifted her eyelids, stepping aside, she drawled, "I know there’s only forty minutes left until the observation ends..."
She turned her head towards Zoe Anne with a sly wink, stating with a cheshire grin, "Miss Anne is pretty well-off, so maybe you don’t care about the competition results, but me, as the poorest designer in the industry, I have to be extra reliable and trustworthy."
She waved her hand, speeding up her pace, "I also need to feed my family by this show, so I can’t chat with you anymore."
Watching the woman’s receding figure, Zoe Anne’s eyes widened. The hand gripping the strap of her backpack tightened, and after a few seconds of processing, she quickly ran after her.
Charlotte kept a helpless expression on her face as they went, with Zoe Anne prattling nonstop in her ear.
However, after a long talk, Charlotte finally understood what she meant.
Miss Anne entered the entertainment industry for the sake of love, but the object of her affection had turned to pursue someone else instead.
What was more heartbreaking was that the man didn’t even care about whom he was pursuing was a devious mistress.
Charlotte, who was at the center of the public’s attention, couldn’t bear Zoe Anne’s incessant talking anymore. She halted abruptly, throwing up her arms in surrender.
Turning towards the woman beside her with a weary look, she said, "Miss Anne, Mr. Ross was just playing around. My relationship with him is completely innocent, just pure comradeship in raising a child together."
Yes, the Anne and Ross families were old friends. Zoe Anne and Adam Ross had grown up together, two children as close as siblings.
Similarly, in the cliche plot of a novel, Zoe Anne had been openly in love with Adam Ross for eight years. However, it was a one-sided love, like a flower tossed onto the flowing river, ignored by the very water it adored.
Adam Ross hadn’t shown genuine love for any woman, not even Zoe Anne, who had been heartbroken by him.
Having heard about the scandalous affair between Adam Ross and Charlotte a while ago, Zoe Anne had been so angry that she had thrown countless objects around. Only now had she seized an opportunity to meet Charlotte.
Hearing this explanation, Miss Anne’s eyes widened in anger and she burst out, "You’ve already co-parented a child, there’s no such thing as pure comradeship. I know you are eager to climb up to my brother Ross, to get onto Ross Group."
At her words, Charlotte’s lips twitched, at a loss for what to say.
Not far away, the camera was set up. Because the second episode of the show had created a lot of new ideas, the highlights were unpredictable, so it was broadcast live.
Charlotte glanced up at the camera pointing at them, lazily yawning, "Miss Anne, they are broadcasting live there. If we keep standing here, the audience will suspect that we are not doing our job..."
Before she could finish, Charlotte’s returning gaze suddenly halted. Her breathing quickened slightly as she quickly pushed Zoe Anne away.
The latter, caught off guard and pushed with such force from Charlotte, staggered back a few steps, falling heavily to the ground.
With a cry of surprise, Zoe Anne’s shocked gaze flickered, she raised her eyes, "You actually dared to push me..."
Meanwhile, the staff behind the camera was also dumbfounded.
This was being broadcast live.
From a distance, they could clearly see the scene of Zoe Anne being pushed.
The netizens in the live chat were also stunned. After a few seconds of silence, they crazily hit their keyboards, sending strings of question marks on the screen.
"??? Speechless, told the platform to change the host. My little sister Zoe is bullied like this in public."
"Charlotte is really ex, I feel sick just looking at her."
"Tsk tsk tsk, ugly people doing shit, I curse Charlotte to die a horrible death!"
In contrast to the live chat, Zoe Anne lifted her eyes.
As soon as her words fell, after seeing the scene in front of her, a shiver ran down her spine.
