Joseph unloaded the luggage upon their arrival at the airport. He reminded Charlotte, “Follow me. There's a lot of people here.”
She hurriedly nodded.
“Lottie!” A familiar voice sounded from nearby.
Charlotte looked in the direction where the voice came from with surprise and saw Lochlan approaching her.
Olivia, all dressed up, was trying to keep up with him in her high heels. “Hey, Lochlan. Where are you going?”
A hint of anger flashed across Lochlan's eyes when he saw Joseph and Charlotte standing together like a match made in heaven.
Lochlan got angry and asked, “Why are you with him? Where are you guys going?”
“It's none of your business where we're going,” said Charlotte coldly.
She glanced at Joseph and said, “Joseph, let's go.”
Lochlan, on the other hand, did not plan to let her go. He took a step forward and blocked her way, saying, “Lottie, come back. Don't stay at the Field residence. The Fraser residence is your true home!”
“Mr. Lochlan, are you kidding?” Charlotte suppressed the pain in her heart and laughed coldly before continuing, “Your mother came to the Field residence to cause a scene and scolded me, but you're telling me that the Fraser residence is my home?”
She paused and said, “I'm thankful that you cared for me for many years, but I'm just a burden to you in your life.”
Joseph took out a bank card from his wallet and passed it to Lochlan, saying, “There's five million in here. This should be enough to pay for the expenses of taking care of her for all those years.”
It was an apparent and blatant insult.
Lochlan stared fiercely at Joseph's handsome face in disbelief that the latter had used the money to undermine him.
He did not expect that anyone would do that to him.
Isn't he just the mayor's son? What's so great about that?
Lochlan's eyes became tempestuous, and he swatted the bank card away. “Mr. Joseph, you think too little of me!” he fumed.
“Mr. Lochlan, Lottie has left you. I hope you will stop pestering her.” Joseph recalled how the Fraser family had caused a commotion in his house and the image of him fighting with Lochlan when he saw the latter.
