Chapter 617: Chapter 560: The Big Wedding
The soundproofing in the Lane Family’s home was indeed very good, but it couldn’t withstand Kevin Clark’s relentless torment after holding in for so long.

Charlotte Lane had no idea when she finally fell asleep.

She only vaguely remembered the light seeping through the curtains.

Her eyes were unfocused, like a flat boat floating on the sea, constantly sinking and rising, continuously drowning, yet continuously reliant on the sensation of drowning.

“Don’t cry.” Kevin Clark’s voice was cloyingly gentle, laden with infinite desire as he kissed her ear, whispering softly, “It’ll be over soon.”

Charlotte Lane vaguely remembered being carried to the restroom.

But she had no idea when she came out.

An entire night of sporadic exhilaration left her drained of sensory responsiveness and alertness.

By the time she regained consciousness, lunchtime had passed.

Charlotte Lane reached for the clock by the bed and gazed at it, then despairingly hurled it onto the carpet.

What good was soundproofing if she couldn’t get out of bed?

She was still thoroughly embarrassed.

The others had been drinking and had an excuse to wake up late. What about her?

Indeed, only her world of embarrassment was achieved.

Charlotte Lane’s body felt achy and sore, even lifting her arm hurt.

Back when she trained on the M Continent, she might not have ever felt this awful.

She thought about it, it was indeed worse on the M Continent.

Since she was already late and the damage had been done, Charlotte Lane decided to stay in bed and check her phone messages.

Hill Dawson, Anisa Cooper, Gentry Morris and numerous others from the “Hope” crew had texted her.

Charlotte Lane opened the message sent by Hill Dawson, scrolling upwards to the important news.

“Hope” had been nominated for the Golden Queen Award.

Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Cinematography.

Hill Dawson told her a few days ago that they expected the nomination results today.

The award ceremony is on the 22nd of next month, more than a month from now.

The two most prestigious movie awards domestically are currently the Golden Queen Award and the Golden Tiger Award.

The Golden Queen Award was named from the word “Queen” of Best Actress.

As for why the word “Emperor” from Best Actor was not taken, or simply the word “Movie”, there are many theories.

There are both scientific and metaphysical explanations.

The Golden Tiger Award was named that way because it was established in the Year of the Tiger.

These are the two most credible awards domestically, with fair evaluations that always satisfy people.

Charlotte Lane, as a screenwriter, has won both these awards. Not only these two, she has won all major and minor awards domestically.

She has been nominated again as a screenwriter this time.

But being nominated for Best Actress is a first for her as an actor.

Even though the movie made groundbreaking box office record.

However, this outcome was somewhat unexpected, yet somehow not surprising.

Charlotte Lane was a little distracted reading the message sent by Hill Dawson, only returning to her senses at the sound of the bedroom door opening and footsteps approaching.

Kevin Clark came in, seeing that she was awake, he first smiled: “Congratulations. You’ve been nominated for Best Actress.”

Kevin Clark came up to her and kissed her.

“The award hasn’t been won yet.” Charlotte pushed his face away, “Go away, don’t kiss me.”

Kevin Clark held her hand, gently squeezing it: “Are you still angry? Didn’t I took good care of you last night?”

Charlotte Lane gave him a look, ignoring him.

Kevin Clark touched the ring on her ring finger: “Next time, I will lie down, and Madam can do whatever she wants.”

“Wanting comfort without putting in effort.” Charlotte Lane shook her chin she was resting on her palm, “Third Master, that’s not how you get a bargain.”

Kevin Clark laughed pretending to pout. After a while, he suddenly said, “We should get a new ring.”

“Hmm?”

“Let’s get a prettier one.”

“Okay.” Charlotte Lane said, “Our Third Master is rich.”

…

Charlotte Lane kept a close eye on the Golden Queen Award after the nominations were announced.

But remarkably, on the award day, the day the winner of Best Leading Actress was about to be announced, Charlotte Lane could not leave the laboratory at the research institute.

She and Kevin Clark had not returned home for a week, constantly in the lab, they spent the nights at the institute’s dormitory.

But no matter how much they rushed, they couldn’t get out that night.

The duo, engrossed in their experiment, were out of touch with the outside world.

It was only after they had worked through the night, when they left the laboratory in the early morning the next day, that they had time to look up the news online.

At the 56th Golden Queen Awards, Gentry Morris won Best Director, George Dunn won Best Actor, Flynn Ninevara won Best Screenwriter.

Daisy Zane won Best Leading Actress.

After the nominations were announced, they had asked Charlotte Lane if she wanted to change her name to Charlotte Lane.
