Ethan got back into his car and hit the accelerator, driving past Charlotte and Christopher.

But he hadn’t gone more than a few meters before he couldn’t resist glancing back, eager to see their reactions.

As expected, Christopher took a few hesitant steps toward the car, almost reluctant to leave.

Charlotte, however, was decisive. She grabbed Christopher’s hand, and neither of them even glanced at the shopping bags Ethan had tossed beside the trash. Together, they strode straight toward the elevator, moving in the opposite direction.

Ethan had thought his departure might at least stir some trace of unease in Charlotte… but he was mistaken. Lost in thought, he nearly ran into the barrier at the garage exit.

Meanwhile, Charlotte led Christopher into the elevator without so much as a backward glance.

“Charlotte… do you really think tossing all those things was right?” Christopher asked quietly.

“They’re not yours. Don’t touch them. Besides, the loss isn’t yours to bear.”

Charlotte’s voice was firm, leaving no room for debate.

Three hundred thousand dollars worth of luxury goods-who wouldn’t feel a pang of regret? But to Charlotte, anything branded with Ethan’s name was tainted.

Snapping back to reality, she lightly twisted Christopher’s ear-not enough to hurt, but enough to convey her full anger.

“Do you really think Ethan is a good person? I’ve told you before-he and I don’t get along, and with us…”

“He’s not from our world,” Christopher interrupted softly. “A rich heir of his level can’t empathize with us. He only takes. If he’s nice to me, it’s a trap.”

Christopher had grown tired of her sister’s warnings. Before, he had only nodded along, but now he wanted to make his stance clear.

“Charlotte, I know you don’t trust Ethan, but I don’t think he’s as bad as you say. He’s… actually really nice.”

The moment his words left his mouth, Charlotte’s hand shot up. “Do you want me to smack you again?”

She had no patience for explaining complex matters that he couldn’t understand; she resorted to blunt, physical enforcement.

“Slapping me doesn’t change my thoughts,” Christopher muttered, a little fearful, but still mumbling, “Ethan was really, really nice to me.”

“You…”

Charlotte gave his arm a sharp smack.

“What kind of villain writes his evil on his face? Do you even know what a sugar-coated bullet is? He spoils you, gives you things you don’t need as a treat, and you think that’s being nice?

“Think about it can you even use these luxury goods? Enjoying what isn’t yours now means paying a heavier price later.

“Meeting Ethan was a coincidence. He dangled a few things in front of you so you could enjoy a life that isn’t yours. If you keep accepting his gifts, how will you ever go back to your own life?

“Even if Ethan keeps giving, relying on what others own makes you dependent. You study to achieve your own dreams, not to be a prop for someone else. Don’t covet the favor of others-it will corrupt you.”

Charlotte’s words rang with conviction, and her face flushed with intensity. She had feared Ethan would brainwash Christopher, so she’d guarded him closely, cutting off all contact. Yet, he had clearly been thinking about it all along-so much so that he actually went to see Ethan.

“Charlotte, I think you’re overreacting. It’s not as serious as you make it out to be… and anyway, I didn’t come here for anything else. I just wanted to thank Ethan.”
