Chapter 260
While everyone around had gussied themselves up. Theresa was still wearing the ordinary dress, which, though,
couldn’t prevent her from emerging as the most impressive one among the crowd. Though she had left the guest
room crying, she now seemed much more cheerful. Charlie just found his tension alleviated at the sight of her
softly smiling eyes, which he had grown quite fond of now.
Having perceived the gaze from above, Theresa looked up to Charlie. And Charlie just looked away immediately.
True as it was that he adored Theresa, he just couldn’t get rid of the sense of humiliation she gave him. He still
remembered how she wept when he kissed her, and that just made him resentful as he regarded her reaction as a

When Theresa could see Charlie clearly enough, he was already switched his stare at Sarah from Theresa. He just
appeared so grim and gloomy. When Theresa turned to Sarah, Sarah was pressing herself against another man,
either showing off to Charlie or really being intimate. Theresa thus drew a conclusion that Sarah really weighed a
lot in Charlie’s heart, judging from his expression. She just couldn’t understand why he refused to divorce since he
loved Sarah so much.
“Hello, Dr. Hill!” Mrs. Calsis hailed.
Theresa looked back to the auditorium, just to find Roderick Hill was joining them, alongside his sister Daphne Hill.
As they
sat down next to Theresa, Roderick exclaimed, “Fancy that, Theresa!”
Theresa was embarrassed. She only wished Charlie wouldn’t mistake her this time, as she just didn’t want her own

the woman next to Roderick, “So this must be your sister?”
“Yes.” Roderick nodded.
“How graceful she is!” Theresa praised sincerely.
Daphne laughed, “Thank you for your compliment.” She then turned to her brother, “Roderick, you don’t present
me to your friend?”
“Daphne Hill, my sister. Theresa Calsis, my school mate and Charlie’s wife. I’ve told you about her before.” said
Roderick.
It dawned on Daphne. “So you are Charlie’s wife, whom I’ve heard so much of! On top of being so pretty, you come

of his, who simply vanished like smoke when Charlie met with the accident. What a heatless woman!” Daphne had
never thought Sarah could match Charlie from the start, and Charlie even was reduced to a laughingstock due to
the escape of his fiancee after the accident. What an unpredictable world that Charlie Calsis could have been
disliked by women one day!
“Thank you for your praise.” Theresa responded coyly, and was deeply impressed by the good manners and
appearance of this elegant Miss Hill.
Sarah had overheard their conversation, she thus tuned round to blink at Daphne, “Are you getting at me?”
Daphne just answered imperturbably without the slightest twist of her facial expression, “Oh it’s Sarah. It’s really a
long time. When did you come back?”
