Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Anne Group
The latter took a few slow steps and positioned herself in front of her.
The frustration in her sinister eyes was seen by Charlotte Thompson more than once.
With a tight grip in her hand, Zoe Anne looked her in the eye and scoffed, "Charlotte, you may not know me, but rest assured, I know very well who you are."
Upon hearing this, Charlotte’s eyes narrowed, her face masked in confusion.
She wrestled her hand free from the grip, her fair wrist now turned red from the pressure. She flexed her hands, her eyes maintaining composure.
"Miss Anne, I do know who you are - the dream girl of countless men and the newly debuted starlet Zoe Anne."
She turned her look to Zoe, a faint smile on her lips, "You’re best known for your role in the recently popular TV drama ’Endless Summer’, right?"
It wasn’t so much that she had time to review the background information of her guest, but rather that Jordan Thompson had enjoyed watching the show on TV recently, especially the finale which left him in a melancholic mood for some time. This TV drama was none other than "Endless Summer", featuring Zoe in a starring role.
However, the surprising thing for Charlotte was that Zoe would drop all her other commitments to participate in a variety show.
Even though "The Birth of Beautiful Clothes" has provided a launchpad to fame for a number of actresses, Zoe, at the height of her popularity, should not have participated in this kind of show under normal circumstances.
With a probing glance at the athletic woman standing in front of her, Charlotte softly pursed her lips as if she realised something, she said, "You came to this show for me?"
That is, to target her.
Upon hearing this, a trace of sarcastic laughter surfaced on Zoe’s face, she clicked her tongue, "So, you’re not as stupid as I thought... but you don’t know that, apart from being an actress, I have another identity."
She clasped her hands across her chest in a leisurely manner, the sense of aggression radiating from her unaltered.
"I am the heiress of Anne Group, real name, Emma Anne."
Anne Group?
Charlotte was slightly startled, a surprise flashed in her eyes.
No wonder she felt so familiar the first time she saw her on TV. After all, Anne Group was also considered a big enterprise in the city.
During Ashton’s time, Henry Thompson had cooperated with Anne Group on several occasions and Charlotte, as the personal assistant to the president at the time, always accompanied him.
She still remembers that during one such serious meeting, a girl suddenly barged in wearing a light-colored floral skirt, her hair neatly laid over her shoulders, with a pale green hairpin beside her ear.
According to the introduction by Anne Group, this was the daughter loved by the Group’s Chairman, Emma Anne.
Although they only had a brief meeting, looking at Zoe now, she was surprisingly different from the lively and animated girl from a few years ago.
Zoe chuckled lightly, saying with disdain in her eyes, "The Anne Group and Ross Group are old-time allies, surely you know that?"
In response, Charlotte honestly shook her head.
She indeed knew about the Anne and Ross Groups, but she wasn’t privy to the information about their long-time alliance.
The complex relationships and stakes tangled within the business world were something her older brother always discouraged her from getting involved in. The farther away from this, the better.
Upon seeing this, Zoe’s eyes widened in exasperation, "If you don’t even know this, then what do you actually know?!"
Charlotte raised slight eyebrows.
Although she had met her before, judging by her current behavior, it was very likely that Zoe had never seen her.
