Charlotte’s unexpected response left Congreve with no choice but to nod in agreement. Seeing
Congreve
finally relent, the headmaster let out a long sigh of relief.
The rest of the evening’s event was a great success, and Charlotte showed no signs of being affected
by
the dress incident.
She carried herself with grace and composure throughout, and the unsuspecting audience had no idea
of
what she had been through.
After the event, Charlotte returned to the backstage area feeling exhausted. As she entered the

room, she noticed a gift box placed on the makeup table.
Enter title…
Inside was a sparkling sky-blue sequined dress, shimmering under the lights. “This dress suits you
perfectly,” Joe’s voice suddenly rang out, and Charlotte turned to see him standing at the door, smiling
at
her.
Charlotte immediately understood who the gift was from. “This dress is too precious, I can’t accept it,”
she
said.
With her keen fashion sense, Charlotte recognized the dress as a new haute couture from Valentino,
likely
priced at no less than a hundred thousand dollars.
Given her relationship with Joe, she didn’t think it appropriate to accept such an expensive gift.
Before Charlotte could offer the box back, Joe shook his head. “This dress was custom-made to fit your
measurements. No one else can wear it. If you don’t want it, it will end up in the trash,” he explained.
“How did you know my measurements?” Charlotte became wary, thinking that Joe had bought the
dress
as a last-minute gesture, but it turned out he had prepared the gift in advance.
Seeing Charlotte’s nervous reaction, Joe found her adorable.
He coughed lightly and explained, “I had your tailor provide the measurements. It wasn’t difficult to
obtain.”
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to accept the dress. After all, as Joe had said, if she didn’t
wear

After carefully putting away the gift box, Charlotte asked, “Is there anything you’d like as a return gift? I
can give you something in return.”
Joe had never thought that his gift would lead to a return gift. After careful consideration, his gaze fell
on
his wrist, where something seemed to be missing…
“In that case, why don’t you give me a pair of cufflinks?” Joe boldly made his request.
Charlotte felt that it was somewhat inappropriate, as cufflinks were a very personal item. However,
unable
to think of anything else to give, she reluctantly agreed.
In the shadows, Wendy once again saw the two of them happily conversing, and her eyes filled with
jealousy.
She couldn’t understand why, despite being by Joe’s side for so long, he never noticed her, and instead
developed feelings for someone who had suddenly appeared.
Wendy took a deep breath; this matter was far from over.
