When Charlotte went to the piano room to practice the next day, she was late on purpose.

Charlotte didn't arrive until quarter past eight for a class that was supposed to start at eight o'clock.

Seeing Charlotte come over, Stella looked angry. Charlotte had guessed it because Stella hated students being late for class the most.

Stella scolded Charlotte and told her to practice the piano quickly.

Charlotte kept apologizing to Stella, but Stella said seriously, "Go practice the piano. You have already wasted too much time."

Charlotte made several mistakes while practicing the piano and was criticized by Stella.

Stella was a perfectionist, which could be seen from her experience. She had high demands on herself and her students. But all her students were excellent. Strict teachers produced excellent students. Every year before the postgraduate entrance examination, students tried their best to ask her to be their mentor.

After finishing piano practice in the morning, Charlotte went to see Stella alone.

Charlotte limped over. Stella asked her, "Did you hurt your leg?"

Charlotte pressed her lips and looked a little shy. She lowered her head. Stella saw many kiss marks on her neck.

Stella immediately understood what was going on.

At this time, Charlotte said shyly, "Ms. Sampson, I'm sorry for being late today."

Stella said, "You are not allowed to have this happen again."

Charlotte smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Ms. Sampson. You're not angry with me anymore, right?"

Stella looked into Charlotte's eyes and said calmly, "Practicing the piano is your business."

"Actually, my boyfriend came over last night." Charlotte's voice was filled with shyness, and her face was flushed.

Stella had been young once. Looking at Charlotte like this, she could tell that Charlotte was in love.

Charlotte was well-known in the music conservatory. The reason why Stella was so strict with Charlotte was because she was optimistic about Charlotte. Charlotte had good basic skills, a good image, and a positive attitude. Stella was willing to support Charlotte.

Many people were pursuing Charlotte. Stella had encountered several men sending Charlotte flowers and gifts before. But Charlotte seemed to have high standards and had never really agreed to anyone.

Stella was a little surprised to hear Charlotte say that she had a boyfriend. "You have a boyfriend?"

Charlotte nodded. "Yes, we have been together for a year and a half. But he is busy, and we don't have many opportunities to meet. He suddenly came to see me last night, so I was late today..."

Charlotte felt very happy when she said these words in front of Stella as if she had defeated Stella.

Stella didn't know the truth now, but she would know it sooner or later.

When Stella knew the truth and recalled what Charlotte had said today, her expression would definitely be interesting.

Charlotte wanted to continue talking when someone suddenly came to find Stella. "Ms. Sampson, your husband is here to pick you up for lunch."

Charlotte's pride and pleasure in her heart disappeared instantly at these words.

Stella went to find Isaac upon hearing that he was coming. Charlotte followed Stella and met Isaac with her.

Isaac saw Stella and walked up to her, hugging her in his arms and considerately combing her hair.

Charlotte saw this scene and felt jealous. She smiled, "Ms. Sampson, you're so lucky."

Isaac glanced at Charlotte and asked Stella, "Is she your student?"

Stella said, "She's Charlotte, a very smart girl."

Isaac nodded slightly towards Charlotte as if they had really met for the first time.

Charlotte naturally couldn't compare with the psychological quality of Isaac. After all, there was an age difference between them.

The man who had hugged her and called her "baby" last night and said he would divorce his wife for her was now showing his affection with his wife in front of her. Charlotte found it intolerable.

"Mr. Whitman, don't you remember me? We have met several times before!" said Charlotte deliberately.

Then, Charlotte deliberately looked at Stella. Sure enough, a hint of doubt emerged in Stella's eyes.

As for Isaac, he was still the same, not feeling guilty. He said calmly, "Really? Sorry. I'm old, and my memory is not very good."

Charlotte said, "In fact, I saw you when you came to see Ms. Sampson before."

Isaac nodded. "I see." After that, Isaac looked at Stella. He smiled, "It's great that every one of your students cares about you so much."

Charlotte felt jealous again when she saw Isaac pleasing Stella. She added, "But I have indeed seen some interviews with you before, Mr. Whitman. My boyfriend is also in the Internet industry, and you are the one he respects the most. May I invite you and Ms. Sampson to dinner sometime? You could give him some career advice."

Isaac said, "Of course. Just tell about it with your Ms. Sampson. We're going to have dinner first. Bye."

Isaac hugged Stella into the car, opened the door for her, and fastened her seat belt.

As the car stopped in front of the restaurant, Stella suddenly asked Isaac, "Have you met Charlotte in private?"

Isaac said, "Honey, are you jealous?"

Stella said, "Charlotte is quite arrogant. I have never seen her talk so much to anyone."

Isaac smiled helplessly, "Isn't she talking to me because you're her teacher? I got this treatment for my wife's sake."

He was particularly good at coaxing women. He made Stella laugh with just a few words. The two walked into the restaurant, hugging each other.

After this incident, Isaac didn't come to see Charlotte for almost half a month.

Charlotte had called him, but no one answered. She had sent him a WhatsApp message but received no reply.

She knew that Isaac must be angry because she had deliberately said those words in front of Stella that day.

Isaac still cared about Stella's feelings and didn't want Stella to have any doubts about him.

Charlotte felt more and more that Isaac was lying to her when he said he wanted to divorce his wife and marry her.

Half a month had passed. In two or three days, it would be Charlotte's birthday.

Charlotte's birthday was on Saturday. On Friday night, Charlotte called Isaac many times.

The result was the same as before. No one answered her.

Charlotte thought Isaac must have blocked her calls directly. After the tenth call went unanswered, Charlotte threw the phone away and started crying.

She was emotionally broken and trembling all over. For some reason, her mind was filled with images of Isaac and Stella.

Charlotte thought, "No, I can't just give up like this."

She got a fruit knife and picked up the phone. Then, she put the fruit knife against her wrist and took a photo.

Charlotte sent it to Isaac via WhatsApp and followed it with a sentence: [If you don't spend my birthday with me tomorrow, I will die in front of you.]

It was said that a woman threatening a man with her life was a sign of incompetence. But now, Isaac ignored her. Charlotte could only use this method to attract his attention.

As long as Isaac came, everything would be easy.

Isaac was interested in her body. If they had sex with each other a few more times, she would surely make Isaac crazy about her.

Charlotte thought that she must really be in love with Isaac, loving him to the point of losing her mind, and no medicine could cure her.

Obviously, she had noticed him at first because she was jealous of Stella. But she hadn't expected that she would get deeper and deeper into it. It was all Isaac's fault for being so charming.

He was mature and wealthy. He had high emotional intelligence and was good at coaxing women. And he was romantic. No matter what you said to him, he could respond very freely.

It was hard not to love a man like this.

Charlotte's suicide photo did work.

After disappearing for a long time, Isaac finally came on Charlotte's birthday.
