Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 80

Knowing why Gina was calling me, I blacklisted her number without any deliberation.

But soon, Jeremy's call came. I looked at it and blacklisted his number as well.

I had made up my mind about this matter.

"No matter who comes to beg me, I won't let Caroline go."

She had killed my child. And I couldn't just let her go in vain.

I went home. Just as I was about to enter the gate of my residential quarter, I heard someone calling me, "Charlotte!"

Then, someone grabbed my hand.

I turned around and saw Gina coming out of nowhere. And she looked at me with a smile on her face and said kindly, "Charlotte, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've lost weight."

Jeremy was behind her.

With a fawning smile on his face, Jeremy was holding a famous brand's package in his hand. I roughly glanced at it and recognized it was a bag.

"What's the matter?" I looked at them without any expression on my face.

In my opinion, I had broken up with them a long time ago.

"We haven't seen you for a long time. So we want to be here to see if you are having a good life." When Gina spoke, she kept grabbing my arm and didn't want to let go of me at all.

And she grabbed me very tightly as if she was afraid that I would run away.

Jeremy echoed behind her, "Yes. We're all missing you."

"Missing me?" As soon as he spoke, I found his words ridiculous as I said, "To get my shares with tricks, you beat me up that day when I returned to your house with Patrick after my wedding date. Now, are you saying that you are missing me?"

Hearing this, Jeremy couldn't go on pretending anymore. But when it came to lying, it was natural that one had to use countless lies to get rid of the first lie.

Even though one knew that the lie had long been exposed.

With a pretentious smile on his face, Jeremy said, "Charlotte, I was confused at that time. You should forgive me."

Gina added, "Yeah. I scolded him for a long time after we were at home that day."

They hit me. They betrayed me. And they schemed against me. They could let go of the past. But I couldn't.

I glanced at the two of them and said word by word, "Since I left your home that day, I didn't intend to go back there anymore. And you are no longer my parents."

After that, I wanted to shake off Gina's hand and go back to the residential qaurter.

But Gina grabbed me tightly.

Jeremy, who had lost his patience, stopped smiling pretentiously. Now that I said so, he immediately became serious and took my other hand as he said, "Charlotte Archer, don't be so shameless! I'm telling you that you have to withdraw your accusation!"

"Why?"

I looked at Jeremy.

"Why? Let me tell you, our Archer Family has been raising you for three years! You lived and ate at my house for free. So you have to withdraw your accusation!"

"Yes. Moreover, I brought you to this world! Caroline is your senior sister after all. If you do this, you can only be judged as a cruel person in the future!"

Jeremy and Gina said one after another.

One of them tried to convince me by saying that they had been raising me for three years.

The other one tried to pressure me with the kinship, saying that I couldn't be in this world without them.

I looked at Jeremy first and said to him, "In the three years when I was in the Archer Family, you didn't give me a penny. My tuition fee was sponsored by a kind-hearted person when I was in the orphanage. And I earned my living expenses on my own by doing parttimejobs."

"Because I, who studied at Design College, needed to buy some very expensive paint materials. Consequently, except for sleeping, attending classes, and doing homework, I had been doing part-time jobs for the rest of my time. I didn't have many meals in the Archer Family. And I only lived in Archer Family for three years at most.”

Jeremy was speechless instantly.

Over the three years, I was self-reliant and never asked for any money from the Archer Family, which was solely to please Jeremy and Gina and make them think that they didn't need to spend any money to raise me.

I didn't ask for anything else. I only wanted a little family affection.

But, in the end, everything was fake.
