Charlotte sat in the car, feeling an indescribable irritation, her face dark and frightening.
To her, everything Quentin did was pushing her to her limits.
Although she hadn’t seen any explicit contact between Quentin and Virginia, seeing Virginia rush over right after she left made her extremely angry.
She gave a self-mocking smile, “What does their relationship have to do with me? I don’t care about them. I’m just an ordinary person, not as dazzling and radiant as others.”
Virginia was indeed outstanding. In Charlotte’s eyes, they were not on the same level, at least not yet.
So, when facing Virginia, she always felt a bit inferior, especially after knowing Virginia’s feelings for Quentin. This made her even more conflicted.
Moreover, Quentin actually had Virginia secure Time Group as a gift for her? She found it hard to accept this fact.
However, since she had already accepted the challenge, Charlotte would not easily admit defeat! Otherwise, wouldn’t that be showing weakness? That wasn’t her character.
Since this path was difficult, she would walk it and see! She couldn’t give up so easily!
At her core, she was a very strong-willed woman. Now, with such an opportunity in front of her and a hint of provocation from a rival in love, her unyielding spirit was ignited!
Nash smiled and said, “Think about it, most women in this world admire the strong. There are some who like little boy toys, but they are very few.”
“If that girl is really excellent, the likelihood of her liking Quentin should be small, right? Maybe you really misunderstood.”
On the surface, Nash seemed to be defending Quentin and Virginia, but in reality, his words carried a hint of belittlement.
Charlotte felt something off about his words and didn’t respond.
“Let’s not talk about them anymore,” Charlotte said tiredly. “Let’s go home.” Nash wisely didn’t continue.
He knew that a conflict between the two was very close.
With a little more manipulation and some added fuel to the fire, he could easily make them part ways. But for now, the priority was to calm Charlotte’s emotions rather than stir things up.
At the entrance of the auction house, Virginia walked away from Quentin with a look of disappointment. Her long hair fluttered slightly, and her cold, beautiful face couldn’t hide a trace of sadness, making her look pitiful.
“Quentin, if one day you get tired of being by her side, remember that someone is still waiting for you.”
She paused, her curved red lips looking somewhat sorrowful. “When you’re young, don’t meet someone too amazing; otherwise, no one else will ever measure up for the rest of your life…”
“To gain is my fortune; to lose is my fate. I, Virginia, live my life seeking only to be true to myself without regrets. Does it matter how others see me?”
Her clear voice echoed as Quentin felt the figure behind him gradually walk away…
His chest felt tight as if something was stuck inside, and his mind was in turmoil. Quentin stood there and lit a cigarette.
Nicotine spread through his lungs to every corner of his body…
He exhaled a breath of smoke, finally suppressing the annoyance in his heart!
“Forget it! Let’s take it one step at a time. The most important thing now is to appease Charlotte.”
Indeed, he had handled this matter poorly. Perhaps he shouldn’t have involved Virginia from the beginning, which led to so many misunderstandings.
