As Charlotte looked in the direction of the voice, she saw Spencer slowly ushering Henry into the house. Zachary and Bruce were by his sides too.
Everyone grew serious, and everything turned solemn at that moment. It was as if they all knew a bad clash was about to happen when Henry met Charlotte.
As expected, Henry looked at the injured Cynthia for a few seconds, and then shifted his gaze to Charlotte. Instantly, he got so worked up that his hands on the wheelchair began to tremble. A complicated expression settled upon his face.
Spencer too was astounded to see Charlotte in person even though he had heard about her return.
He recalled his impression of Charlotte two years ago and compared that with the person standing in front of him now. The same person gave him a completely different feeling.
Right then, the past grievances, resentments, and all sorts of conflicting emotions rose to mind, creating turmoil in everyone's heart. It was an extremely tense situation.
Standing at the hallway on the second floor, Charlotte cast a condescending look upon Henry and the rest of the Nacht family. Scenes after scenes of how Henry used to despise and humiliate her kept coming back to haunt her.
“I won't agree to this marriage. There's no use even if you've sent out the invitations. I'll ask them to call it off!”
“I've repeated this a million times, and I'll say it once more. I won't allow this woman to marry into our family.”
“Needless to say, the children must carry the last name, Nacht. That's a given. Just quote me a price for changing the last name, and I'll see to it that you get your check right away.”
“It doesn't matter whether the kids have a mother. Having a father is the priority.”
“Raising the children as Nachts will guarantee them utmost privileges for life. They will suffer if they were to stay with you. Not only will they not have food on the table, but they will also be bullied by others. If you love them so much, you should consider this and make the right choice for their sake.”
“Annul the wedding! The kids can stay, but she has to go! This is my bottom line.”
These harsh words kept repeating in her ears. They were like a sharp blade, slicing through her heart a thousand times.
Narrowing her eyes at Henry, Charlotte continued having more dreadful flashbacks.
“I declare that the wedding has been called off!”
