nIt was already dark when Charlotte returned to Royal Villa.

nShe didn't know how she got back.

nOnly that she was already in a state of unconsciousness when the bodyguards released her from the roof.

nAfter sitting against the wall for a long time, she rose unsteadily to her feet, holding on to the wall, cold and stiff. Then she took the elevator down and took a taxi home.

nBack to the villa, her legs suddenly gave way, and she fell to the floor at the door. The servants came to support her in a hurry but were sent away by her.

nCharlotte bit her lip and staggered up the stairs herself.

nShe didn't want anyone to see her so miserable.

nJust as she entered her room, Ethan called to ask her how the engagement was going and why he hadn't heard from her about holding the engagement party again after so long.

nCharlotte couldn't hold back her tears any longer and wept aloud, telling her dad that Dylan would never get engaged to her.

nEthan was shocked and asked why. Charlotte didn't dare to say that she had asked someone to drive into Savannah and almost hit Kaiden. She just sobbed that Dylan and Savannah seemed to have made it up again.

nEthan sighed after a long silence.

nIn fact, he was surprised and uneasy when her daughter called and said that Dylan had proposed and wanted to get engaged to her.

nHe knew how Dylan petted Savannah. How could he suddenly propose to his daughter?

nThe only possibility was that Dylan used Charlotte to annoy Savannah after they had a quarrel or something.

nBut Charlotte was so crazy about Dylan. She would not listen to him and might think it was a good chance even if she knew the truth.

nSo, Ethan just let them go. The Rowe family was in great trouble now. His old mother was badly ill in bed, while his son was still facing lawsuits in the detention center. He really had no time to lay a finger on his daughter's relationship.

nUnexpectedly, his fears came true so soon.

n

"Charlotte, don't cry. Mom, dad, and grandma will always love you and care about you. Come back home, okay?

" Ethan comforted his daughter.

nCharlotte's crying stopped.

nBack home?

nOne last step, and her dream would come true.

nHow could she let it go and went home after her dream broke in the wind?

n

"Dad... I'm not going back. I'm sure Dylan will come around.

" She shook her head firmly.

n

"If he would change his mind, he would not have suddenly canceled your engagement. Why should you stay there and beg for nothing?

" Ethan sighed.

n

"I don't care. I'm staying here. I can't see Dylan being taken away by Savannah again!

"

nEthan was about to speak again when the phone clicked dead. His daughter had already hung up.

nFashion Queen was starting on television and video websites. It was rapidly gaining ground in the ratings and surpassed that of the TV series of the same period, claiming the top rating spot.

nUnexpectedly, but not surprising, Savannah's part in the play, the role of Angelina, became an overnight hit. Online topics that mattered to her was even hotter than that of the hero and heroine.

nThis Sunday, when Savannah got up and updated her Twitter, she was shocked by the overwhelming comments, private messages, and the number of new followers.

n

"You kept your part fresh and exciting. Compared to the perfect leading role, Angelina has her own personality, a real character.

"

n

"I like Angelina. She's an able woman, but there's also a little girl in her heart. She behaves so aggressively and competitively just to protect herself from being hurt.

"

n

"I like you. You look better than charming.

"

n

"If I were Angelina, I would also be unhappy if another girl suddenly comes to steal the show.

"

n

"I cried when Angelina said goodbye to her colleagues at the airport before she left to study abroad. In fact, Angelina is not bad, just too proud.

"

n

"If I were the hero, I would choose you! You are the real Fashion Queen, much better than Eva. No, actually, even the leading man is not worthy of you, you deserve a better man!

"

n

"Looks like you're acting for the first time, aren't you? Amazing!

"

n

"Hope you can do more acting!

"

n

"I wish there was a sequel to Fashion Queen. You can come back!

"

nSavannah realized she became popular with the role of Angelina.

nSome of the audience preferred negative characters who had shortcomings than perfect protagonists.

nJust then, the phone rang.

n

"Hello?

" Savannah answered the phone, her drawing voice sounding lovely.

n

"Not up yet?

" There came a familiar male voice with a smile.

n

"Chris?

" Savannah started up in bed.

nMost of her scenes were with Chris, but she didn't have any personal contact with him.

nAfter the shoot, she never met Chris again.

nShe felt extremely flattered to receive his phone early in the morning.

n

"Well. It's me.

"

n

"What's the matter?

"

n

"Fashion Queen is the highest rated metropolitan drama series of the year. They're having a party tonight. Would you like to be my date and go with me?

" Chris asked gently.

n

"Your date?

" Savannah was stunned.

n

"Yeah.

"

nEven if Chris needed a lady to accompany him, he should look for the actress who played the leading role of Eva or find a female star who was well-known in showbiz...

n

"I... That's not right...

" Savannah hesitated.

n

"You don't have confidence in yourself?

" Chris laughed.

n

"Well,

" since he called in person and invited her kindly, it was not good to refuse him.

"See you tonight.

"

nIn the evening, Chris drove to Green Bay to pick up Savannah at the appointed time.

nWhen he arrived in his Lotus, all servants and maids looked out in wonder.

n

"Savannah, he's not the big star Chris Pattinson, is he?

" Garcia looked at the man with eyes wide as he got off the car.

n

"Yes. That's him.

" Savannah laughed.

n

"He's here! Oh, my gosh!

" Garcia was not young, but all the women liked handsome men.
