"Yes, Aunt Amanda, you're truly amazing."
"Thank you. Do as I say now."
After ending the call, Charlotte swore to herself that she had to grow stronger. That way, she would be able to be the one in control in the future.
After washing up, Charlotte packed her documents into her bag and went downstairs with her phone.
Regardless, I have to settle this before I can think of doing anything else. I'll have to find a way to get away from that man from T Nation and bring the kids to live in another city.
Meanwhile, the Whites' car had already arrived, and Amanda had personally come to pick
Charlotte up with her bodyguards.
The man from T Nation was trembling as he sat in the backseat; it was as if he was a frightened chick who dared not even make a noise.
When the bodyguards saw Charlotte, they immediately pushed her into the car before they sped off.
When Charlotte finally raised her head, she froze upon seeing Simon.
Unlike his usual gentle demeanor, Simon's brows were furrowed as he reprimanded, "Charlotte, I always thought of you as a good kid. I can't believe you did something as shameless as this. Although Hector was in a relationship with you in the past, he’s now Luna’s husband and Timothy's dad. How can you-"
"What your daughter did was even more
shameless. Have you ever scolded her for that?” Charlotte retorted.
"You-"
"Shut up!" Amanda yelled as she slapped Charlotte. Jabbing a finger in her face, she seethed, "If not for your father, I'd have killed you!"
"Haha!" A laugh escaped Charlotte. "You make it sound as if you actually thought of my father like your brother. Were you not the ones who set my father up back then?"
"What rubbish are you talking about?" Simon bellowed. "Richard has done so much for me. How can I possibly set him up?"
Staring at him, Charlotte realized that his agitation seemed genuine.
"Just ignore her." On the other hand, Amanda was averting her eyes away from Charlotte. However, her tone remained indignant. "She's just a shameless b*tch. Since her plans to seduce Hector have fallen through, she's now trying to ruin our reputation."
"The one who killed your father was-"
Amanda interrupted when Simon started to speak, "Shut it. Why are you wasting your breath on her?"
