On the sixth day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Anisa Cooper brings John Collins and Emily Hill to visit Charlotte at Clark Manor.

Anisa and John have brought New Year’s gifts, while Emily, who drove her car, brought a load of mother and baby supplies.

When they arrived at the entrance to Clark Manor, five people from the Clark family helped to bring the stuff inside.

Charlotte came from the North Court, and upon entering the living room, she looked at the pile and asked Emily, “Isn’t it a bit early to prepare all these things?”

Emily greeted Harton Clark first, then replied, “Not early. Time flies; you’ll see.”

Charlotte thought to herself that she couldn’t wait for time to pass quickly.

So that everyone would stop revolving around her.

And Harton could be more settled.

“I’ve used all these things myself, and they’re very good,” Emily said.

“Thank you, Sister Emily,” Charlotte replied.

Today, Elina Clark and Tom Wayne were not at home, as they went to the Theatre Garden. Finn Clark was the only one in the front courtyard.

It took them a while to come from the North Court. Finn had already chatted with Anisa, John, and the others for a while.

“Lucia, Third Master, Happy New Year,” Anisa said.

“Happy New Year,” Charlotte replied, touching Anisa’s face.

John, still wearing a mask and no hat, with the scars on his face partially hidden by his hair, greeted, “Third Master, Dean Lane, Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year,” Harton replied.

The group sat down, with the men talking together, and the women chatting amongst themselves.

After sitting down, Anisa shifted closer to Charlotte and glanced at her stomach, asking, “Lucia, did the check-up say you’re having twins?”

Charlotte looked at her.

She had only told her family about the twins, but no one else.

Without denying it, Anisa excitedly said, “So it is! Then we bought too few supplies.”

Emily was also surprised, “Really? Then we should have gotten more.”

“See, I told you. That temple is very efficacious,” Anisa said, “I prayed there devoutly, hoping that Lucia could have a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. It will definitely be dragon and phoenix twins.”

Charlotte smiled and said, “Thank you for the good wishes.”

Emily laughed and said, “Enough, it’s all thanks to Third Master’s prowess, doesn’t concern you.”

Anisa pursed her lips and whispered with a smile, “I think Lucia is more amazing.”

Charlotte nodded, “Good taste.”

Harton, chatting with John, overheard their conversation and smiled.

John said, “Anisa is too outgoing; sometimes her brain can’t keep up with her mouth.”

“Charlotte really likes her,” Harton replied.

John didn’t say anything more, and they talked about Ryan Easton’s matters.

On Charlotte’s side, the women were still discussing the temple’s miraculousness.

Charlotte asked, “What did you ask for yourself? Dragon and phoenix twins, too?”

“No,” Anisa said, “Brother Miller and I want to establish ourselves in the Imperial Capital in the future. But the cost of living there is too high. So, we decided that having one child would be easier to raise. Besides, both of us are busy, and we won’t be able to look after two children.”

Charlotte nodded, “When are you getting married?”

“Once my contract expires,” Anisa said, “As soon as it expires, I’ll immediately get the certificate. Then I’ll renew the contract after getting the certificate.”

“You’re silly,” Emily said, “Why don’t you just get the certificate without telling me?”

“Teaching others to deceive themselves, that’s a first,” Charlotte said.

After sitting in the front hall for a while, they took a tour of Clark Manor.

The size of Clark Manor is vast and difficult to imagine. The winding paths make it hard to differentiate the directions.

Anisa curiously looked around as they walked, “Lucia, was this built to resemble the royal palace?”

“The area is slightly smaller than the royal palace,” Charlotte replied nonchalantly.

But it’s much larger than a prince’s mansion.

“My goodness, the legendary 25-acre Lotus Flower Pond!” Anisa exclaimed as she stood at one end, unable to see the other side.

Although it was winter, and only evergreen trees were green, the scenery was still beautiful.

The grand and intricate architecture overshadowed the bleak landscape.

“25 acres.” Charlotte corrected, “Come back here in the summer, and it’s very beautiful.”

“Then Lucia, you must invite me,” Anisa said.

“Yeah.”

Walking along the corridor by the Lotus Flower Pond, Hill Dawson said, “The box office exceeded one billion yesterday.”

“Yes. Our box office has always been good, and getting even better now.” Anisa Cooper said, “I thought the online criticism would affect the box office.”

On the internet, from the first day of the Lunar New Year until now, there have always been criticisms aimed at Charlotte Lane.

However, despite the criticism, the box office is getting better and better.

People praise the movie while criticizing Charlotte for not yet appearing to promote the movie.

People are asking why only the male lead has appeared while the female lead hasn’t even interacted yet.

Various attacks.

They have even started attacking her for having a precious pregnancy and being treated like an ancestor.

On one hand, they want her to leave the entertainment industry; on the other hand, they buy tickets to watch the movie.

“Are you really not going to show your face?” Hill Dawson asked.

“No.” Charlotte Lane replied, “I didn’t participate in the promotion of any TV series before either. I’m not the female lead in the movie, she has her own name. If I promote it too much… people might not be able to distinguish if they are blindly supporting Charlotte Lane or if they are truly moved by the character.”

Hill Dawson did not speak. Clearly, as an agent, her opinion is different.

“Good works will not be buried,” Charlotte Lane said, “I think the current promotional force is enough. As actors, we serve the work, not the other way around.”

Hill Dawson still remained silent.

She can understand Charlotte’s thoughts, but this line of thinking does not fit the current market.

Seeing her not speaking, Charlotte continued, “Everyone’s thinking is different, and their purposes are also different. This is just my personal opinion.”

Hill Dawson nodded: “But how do you plan to handle the fact that you’re not Daisy Zane?”

Charlotte Lane looked at the Lotus Pond in the distance and paused before saying, “We’ll see.”

…

After Anisa and the others left in the morning, Charlotte did not rest either, dealing with some Research Institute affairs.

In the afternoon, she went to the Research Institute and didn’t return to Clark Manor until past 10 PM.

After washing up and lying in bed, she received a message from Holt Lawrence.

Charlotte picked up her cell phone, and before opening Holt’s message,

Messages from Gael Easton, Luke, James Collins, and Robinson Scott came in one after the other.

On the other side, Kevin Clark’s phone also rang at the bedside table.

Charlotte opened Holt’s message.

[Nana, the Dark Web Killer Rankings have been updated.]

Other people also informed her of this matter.

When Kevin finished his shower and came out, he saw the person who was supposed to be in bed, but now at the bay window, looking at her computer.

He walked over, rubbing the top of her hair: “What’s wrong?”

“The Dark Web Killer Rankings have been updated.” Charlotte clicked a few times, went in, and had a look.

It indeed was updated.

The second-place person has been replaced.

And the first place… is the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Demons Pavilion.

As for Kevin… he’s like a hidden expert, never appearing on the hitman list.

Because he has four top assassins under his command. Thomas Firway, Yoshua and Edward, all on the list. Only they use codenames.

Moreover, one of them is ranked number one.

Before, it used to be Nameless, now it’s the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Demons.

The second place is a newcomer named James Flory.

How long has it been since a newcomer appeared on the hitman list?

No wonder everyone is so excited.

Kevin stood behind her, looking serious, “You’re giving up sleep just for this?”

Having said that, he closed the computer directly and carried her back to bed.

Charlotte lay in bed and closed her eyes.

Kevin stood beside the bed, watching her.

Sure enough, after a while, with her eyes closed, Charlotte said, “Aren’t you curious? A sudden newcomer might affect some situations.”

“It won’t affect us.” Kevin stood there for a while, eventually leaning down and giving her a gentle kiss, “Get a good night’s sleep. Otherwise, next time I’ll have to tie you up and bring you back from the Research Institute.”

Charlotte laughed but said nothing more.
