When I looked at the timeline from my past life, Jaxon definitely blow up after tonight. But there was a catch.
My big brother, Kyle Marshall, was the CEO of a film company, and when he gave an order, which media outlet would dare to defy him?
With so many accounts pushing Jaxon at once, how could he not become famous? Plus, my fourth brother, Nathan Marshall, was the social media king.
A simple post from him could get billions of shares. He also deliberately visited Jaxon’s livestream.
With all these boosts, Jaxon was bound to get more and more popular.
Right now, though…
I looked up. “I’m really sorry. I just remembered that I’ve been too busy these past two years to take on new talent. Our previous agreement is canceled. How much compensation do you think is fair?”
Anyone could tell I was angry.
The manager’s face darkened immediately.
*Jaxon, the award ceremony tonight was indeed open to family members, but not just any family member can be brought in. I worked hard to get these two spots, and now they’re gone. If that’s the case, we won’t be working together anymore.”
He stormed off in a huff.
Soon after, Jaxon’s rookie award was abruptly canceled, and his account was banned from the platform.
The few million followers he had worked so hard to gather vanished just like that.
“Madison, I’ve had enough of you. Let’s get a divorce!” Jaxon said with a dark face right at the
Revent.
Madison froze as if she hadn’t heard him clearly. “What did you just say?”
“I said I want a divorce. Madison, I’m divorcing you. If you don’t agree, then let’s just go our separate ways. From now on, we don’t need to bother with each other!”
With that, Jaxon looked around the room.
His eyes landed on me sitting in the front row, and he walked over to me with a humble demeanor, seemingly wanting to invite me for a meal.
Madison saw this.
Suddenly, she rushed over like a mad woman, screaming, “Charlotte, you sit, how dare your
my husband! Jaxon is mine now! He’s mine, do you understand?!”

Before I could even speak up, Jaxon had already struck.
Ho hit her with all his strength.
Madison’s mouth bled, and with a thud, she fell right at my feet.
I could handle such a gift.
口
Wed, 12 Mar
I coula nanale such a gift.
Jaxon pressed down on Madison’s neck, his voice full of anger. “You’re the si*t! Apologize to Ms. Clark now, or I’ll make you regret it!”
Madison’s body shook, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
I laughed. “Got divorced again?”
Only Madison would understand the sting in my words.
In my past life, she took the rich and powerful Lyrinia’s great heir, thinking she could step all
over me. In the end, she was abandoned and divorced in disgrace. Now, in this life, she jumped in to steal away my husband, thinking she would win this time, but look at where she ended up.
“What does that tell you? Understand now?” I added with a cold glance. “Trash will always be trash.”
Those words completely enraged Madison.
She charged at me like a mad woman. “Charlotte, I’ll kill you!”
I intentionally stayed still.
In situations like this, it was best to take a small hit to make the scene bigger. I couldn’t let
her have another chance to frame me like last time.
In the midst of the chaos, Madison grabbed a chair and swung it at my head.
“Anyone who dares harm her will die!”
Two women suddenly rushed out.
They moved with speed and skill.
In just a few moves, they had Madison pinned to the ground.
“Are you alright?” one of the women asked, her voice filled with concern.
I understood now.
These women were the bodyguards Dominic had arranged for me.
“I’m fine, thank you,” I said as I pulled out my phone and called the police.
There were many witnesses at the event, including videos of Madison repeatedly causing
trouble. The police responded quickly.
Madison raged and caused a scene at the station.
Even now, she was still convinced Jaxon would blow up by morning, blaming the staff for not
recognizing his potential.
She wouldn’t learn until it was too late.
By dawn, Jaxon didn’t just fail to blow up. He was implicated because of her and was
arrested as an accomplice in an intentional assault.
“Impossible, this can’t be true! He was supposed to be trending today. How did this p
Madison screamed as she tried to check online for answers.
The online backlash was overwhelming.
People called Madison stupid and arrogant, saying she wouldn’t die if she didn’t keep causing trouble. Some even suggested to the internet police: [That woman must be crazy. She needs to be checked!]
II’m not crazy. I’m more clear–headed than any of you. You only have one lifetime of
needs to be checked!]
I’m not crazy, I’m more clear–headed than any of you. You only have one lifetime of memories, but I’ve lived two!]
Madison once again suspected I was behind all this chaos. Enraged, the staff dragged her to a psychiatric hospital.
Whether or not she had a mental illness, it was clear her behavior wasn’t normal. They decided she had to stay for observation and treatment.
Even though Thomas and Sarah rushed there, giving all kinds of assurances, Madison still had to stay in the hospital.
What company would accept a CEO with a mental illness?
So, the Clark Group had no choice but to return to Thomas.
A year ago, when Madison took over, it was a mess. Now that it was handed back to Thomas,
things not only had not improved, but they were worse, saddled with a pile of high–interest loans.
The 10 million dollars invested in Jaxon was a complete loss, driving Thomas crazy. Finally, Sarah remembered I was her biological daughter.
She walked over to me in a few quick steps. “Charlotte, Madison doesn’t have a mental illness. She didn’t mean to hurt you. She was just saying things out of anger. Besides, you’re not hurt, right? We’re family. There’s no need to say more. Just write a letter of understanding so they’ll release Madison.”
I thought, “So, I, the victim, didn’t die, but the one who attacked me is innocent? What kind of
twisted logic is that?”
Seeing me sitting there motionless, Sarah became annoyed. “Charlotte, Madison is about to be locked up, and you’re still sitting here? Hurry up and write the letter of understanding.”
I was seriously confused.
I had never seen anyone be so shamelessly direct.
“Are you suffering from memory loss? Have you forgotten that I’m the victim here? You want me, the victim, to write a letter of understanding, and you speak to me like you’re giving an order? Who gave you the nerve?!”
“You! How dare you speak to me like that? I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Just as Sarah was about to strike me, Thomas hurried over to mediate. “Alright, alright, we’re all family. Even if we fight and argue, we’re still blood relatives. There’s no lasting grudge. Charlotte, how about you just write the letter to get Madison out?”
Thomas‘ words were a clear sign of him trying to lower his stance. If I agreed, they might give.
me some benefits in return,
I was too angry to say anything.
“Why should I? Why do you think I should write a letter of understanding? I’ve already disowned my biological parents. Why would I care about a Madison with no blood ties?”
As soon as I finished speaking, Sarah tried to strike me again.
I couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. “It’s truly like mother and daughter are in sync. At first,

I thought that if Madison had apologized sincerely, maybe I could have forgiven her. But now? No
way! Because of your bias, because of your arrogance, she can stay in the psychiatric hospital as long as she needs to.”
No matter how Thomas and Sarah reacted, I turned and walked out.
The next morning, all the major newspapers and websites in Lyrinia published reports titled: [The Chairman of the Clark Group Rushed to the Hospital for Emergency Treatment.]
By the time I still hadn’t shown much of a reaction, the next day, Thomas gave an interview c the hospital.
*… Before I die, I have only one wish, which is to see my daughter one last time.” With those words, the public turned on me, calling me ungrateful.
Sarah spoke in a gentle, roundabout way, “Don’t blame Charlotte. She’s not at fault. It’s because we’re poor and powerless. Now that she’s climbed higher, it’s natural she would look down on us. It’s fine if you won’t accept us, but could you just come and take a look? Just once….”
