Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 5

It seemed that Caroline and her mother didn't expect me to wake up. Although the light of the floor-to-ceiling lamp was dim, I could tell that the looks on their faces were not good.

Caroline's mother put on a fake smile and asked me, "Charlotte, how is your injury? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

If it were in the past, I would have been moved. But now I was indifferent.

Seeing my indifferent expression, Caroline, who certainly knew that I had heard all their conversation, interrupted her mother directly. "Mom, you don't have to act anymore. Judging from her tone, she, a wild dog, knows what's going on."

"A wild dog."

Hearing Caroline call me a wild dog so smoothly, I knew that they must have nicknamed me like this early.

"A wild dog?" I endured the pain, walked to the empty sofa, and sat down. Then I deliberately said, "Even so, I am a wild dog who has 4% shares."

Sure enough, as soon as I said

that, Caroline's mother understood what I meant. She scolded, "Charlotte, my family has been raising you for three years. You should have fulfilled your filial piety to us with those shares!"

I just sat there. Thinking that they had schemed against me for such a small amount of shares, I found them ridiculous and couldn't help laughing.

My mother asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Oh, no, it was not appropriate for me to call her "mother" now.

The name of Caroline's mother was Gina Frost. And Caroline's father's original name was Jeremy Archer.

Staring at Gina, I stopped laughing and said, "In fact, if the matter today hadn't happened, I would have thought more highly of the family affection than anything else. If you asked me for them, I surely would give them to you without saying anything. But, after what happened today, everything will be different."

They thought I was the same as them, who valued nothing but benefits and gains.

What they didn't know was that I valued the family affection the most.

But now, everything was gone.
