Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 134

“Mind your words!” Charlotte rebuked her.

“That’s the truth,” Luna slyly replied.

“Shut up,” Amanda interjected and gazed intensely at Luna.

Then, she turned and looked towards Charlotte.

“Be it that the bracelet was stolen or lost, that is not important. Nonetheless, it is undisputed that your daughter is the culprit of this unfortunate event. We’re reasonable people and do not intend to be hard on the child. Hence, we invited you here to resolve the situation. Now, how do you suggest we solve this?”

Ever since she was punished by Zachary during the last auction, Amanda had adopted a different strategy.

Now, she was pretending to be reasonable and courteous towards Charlotte. This way, even if Zachary were to find out, she would not be reprimanded.

“Please give me some time to figure this out,” Charlotte urged.

Charlotte was a reasonable person. It didn’t matter that the mother-daughter duo were nasty and absolutely despicable. If Ellie did lose the bracelet, she would have to bear the responsibility.

“We’re rushing back home to celebrate my grandson’s birthday.” Amanda checked the time on her watch. “Is ten minutes sufficient?”

“That works.” Charlotte carried Ellie in her arms and calmed her down. Later, she asked Mrs. Berry softly, “Mrs. Berry, didn’t I ask you to accompany Ellie to return the bracelet?”

Mrs. Berry’s frustration was apparent. “That’s true. However, when I was sending off the three babies to the school bus, Ms. Cheney was not there. Therefore, I instructed Ellie to hand it back personally to Ms. Cheney. I didn’t expect this to happen… I’m all to blame!”

Mrs. Berry blamed herself for it.

“Don’t blame yourself for it. I’ll try to make things clear.” Charlotte turned towards Ellie and gently touched her face. She then asked, “Ellie, can you tell me what happened?”

“When I reached school and wanted to return the bracelet to Ms. Cheney, I realized that the bracelet was gone…” Ellie whimpered. “Mommy, I’m sorry…”

“No worries.” Charlotte swiftly hugged her. “Ellie, you’re still young. It’s normal to make mistakes. Mommy is here to help you solve it. Don’t be afraid, alright?”
