Honey, I'll Make You a Star (Margaret and Charleston) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 A Gentleman's Wallet

Four years had passed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has landed at the Asshington Airport in Haverland..."

Margaret dragged her luggage along and exited the airport.

Four years ago, she insisted on keeping the baby and was then kicked out from the Simons family as William was worried that the family would be humiliated once others find out about the scandalous pregnancy.

The only choice the family had left was to send her abroad.

Margaret smiled ironically as she thought about what had happened in the past.

"I just got off the plane!" Margaret was on a phone call with her best friend, Harper Alken.

Harper asked her, "Where are you staying now? Is it at the Simons family villa?"

"My company assigned me a dormitory."

"Remember to give me your signature when you become a superstar," Harper yelled over the phone.

Margaret replied, "I've just signed the contract. I'm still far from becoming a superstar. Alright, I've got to go. I'm taking a cab."

"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Margaret received the address of the company's dormitory.

She had signed a contract to become an artist in an entertainment company through an overseas audition, but she had not had an agent assigned to her yet. Therefore, all information was sent through the company's group chat.

After reading the address silently, Margaret put her phone away, only to notice something black laying in front of her feet.

She looked down and found out that it was a wallet.

Margaret scanned through the people around her and frowned.

The wallet is of a luxurious brand. She was not sure who it belonged to.

So, she decided to bring it over to the lost-and-found counter.

Margaret pushed the glass door open. She took the wallet out of her bag and handed it to the person in charge, saying, "Hello, this is a wallet I just found in Area B."

"Okay." The person in charge nodded and took a photo of the wallet. A form was handed to Margaret and the person said, "Please fill in your information."

The management department of the airport had their concerns for any potential disputes arising due to the loss of property, so they would normally ask the person who found the lost item to leave a contact number.

Margaret took the pen and filled in the needed information.

"Can I leave now?" Margaret asked when she returned the pen and form.

"Sure." The person in charge nodded.

Margaret pulled her luggage with her and exited the office.

At that moment, a broadcast was made. "Mr. Limbaugh, please come over to the lost-and-found counter to retrieve your wallet." The voice over the broadcast announced.

As Margaret pushed open the left side of the glass door, the right side of the door too was opened.

Larry Yates followed behind Charleston and helped him submit Charleston's information to the person behind the counter for verification.

The person in charge stared at Charleston's delicate facial features and went blank in an instant.

She came back to her senses and blushingly checked the information given. After confirming his identity, she handed the wallet to Charleston and said, "Mr. Limbaugh, here is your wallet."

Larry, who was next to him, breathed a sigh of relief. Charleston was so furious that he looked like he could kill a person when he found out that he lost his wallet. There must be something important in the wallet. Fortunately, the wallet was found.

Charleston took the wallet. After checking it, he frowned and questioned coldly, "Is this it?"

Was there anything else?

The person in charge trembled with fear and replied, "That's all, sir. The lady only handed over a wallet."

"Sir, is there anything missing?" Larry asked cautiously.

Charleston threw the wallet at Larry and spoke in an extremely cold tone, "A photo inside is missing."
