Chapter 275
Charlotte's actions renderedspeechless. | used to believe she was a genuinely nice person, only that Lina
had misled her. But now, she was even worse than Lina.
At least after breaking up with Lina, | never helped her again. But Charlotte? | had helped her several times—
both openly and behind the scenes. Not only had she never returned the favor, but she also badmouthed me
behind my back. This was the definition of ingratitude!
"I don't know. I've never wronged her. She just doesn't likefrom the start."
Lina sighed. "It's my fault. | spoke ill of you in front of her early on, which gave her
a bad impression of you. That's why she's been pushing you away. If you want, | can speak well of you to change
her opinion of you."
"No need. Let her say whatever she wants."

If it were someone | cared about, | would explain myself. But Charlotte? She didn't deserve an explanation.
Upon hearing this, Lina immediately becanxious. "You never bother to explain yourself. It's because you
never explain that we've had so many misunderstandings!"
"What? Are you trying to blme for our breakup? Lina, when | was with you, | never lied to or did anything to
hurt you."
"How can you still say that you didn't lie to me?" Her voice was filled with grievance.
"If you had just toldthe truth from the beginning and toldyou were just the son of a fruit vendor, how
would | have misunderstood you as a vain person?
"Of course I'm not blaming you. | know I've done many things wrong. I've really realized my mistakes now. | don't
care about your background at all. | want to be with you for the long haul."
Here we go again. In the end, she still wanted to get back together. | sighed. "Lina, even if | forgive you and even
if | really got back together with you, it wouldn't last. You love the spotlight, enjoy showing off, and relish being
above others.
"But | just want to live a low-profile life. Even if | have money, | don't want to flaunt it. The thing I hate most is
being at the center of attention. We're just not compatible."
"I don't! William, believe me. I've changed! | won't be so vain anymore. Just giveone more chance!"
This time, | chose to hang up the phone immediately. She would never give up if | didn't cut her off hard. Not
long after hanging up, | received a message from the bar's owner.

"Sure. I'll cover and take a look."

However, alcohol was the bar's most important product and the easiest thing for employees to shortchange or
substitute. | couldn't let my guard down.
After dinner, headed to the bar. It was busy, with many customers, so | didn't go straight to the owner. Instead,
sat in a corner as a customer, drinking and enjoying myself while using my phone and observing the bar's
operations.

After a whole evening of observation, | found that the bar was doing well. The drinks and food were provided
promptly.
Aside from a few instances where the service staff's attitude wasn't great, there were no significant issues.
When the bar closed for the night, my phone rang immediately.
"Mr. White, we're about to close. You can cover now."
