The old lady watched Axel leave, feeling a bit messy in the heart, "Mr. Lloyd," she said apologetically, "sorry to embarrass you. The marriage should be canceled. Sorry to bother you to take the dowry back. I'll apologize to you in person when I get the chance."
"It must be the Xiang family playing tricks behind this." Charles thought.
Since the Xiang family interfered in this, there was no use in continuing to entangle them, so he said with a cold face, "All right, let's go."
He left the Hunt family and got on the car around the corner.
"How's it, Charles?"
Tyler, the great master of the Chou family, was behind the wheel. "Katherine just left crying," he grinned. "Old Lady Hunt must have forced her to get a divorce and marry you. Ironically, the Hunt family doesn't know that you're just playing with Katherine. When you're tired of her, you will kick her away."
"Is that enough?"
"What?" Tyler was stunned.
Charles frowned. There was a beautiful maid in the car. He took her in his arms and fumbled with his hands.
"I didn't make it. Old Lady Hunt changed her mind and refused the match. It must have been the Xiang family who intervened into this."
Tyler lamented, "Damn it, the Xiang family is determined to go against you."
Charles raised his lips, and ripped off the maid's clothes as if no one was around. "But I didn't leave without any gains." he said grimly. "Katherine's parents are getting a divorce. Although I didn't deal a blow to that bastard, I'm glad Katherine is upset."
"Bro, where are we going now?"
"J City is about to attract investment. They will hold business talks and set up a trade union. I'll go for it and take down the J City."
Charles paused. "So, just stop by your house for a while."
Tyler was exultant.
This meant that Charles was supporting the Chou Family, who always stayed in the second tier and who had always wanted to be a top tier family in J City, but couldn't get it.
Now, they had got a great opportunity.
"Bro, I will treat you well."
Tyler pressed a button on the center console, and a panel appeared in the middle of the car, dividing the front and back into two spaces.
In a few moments, the maid's groan was heard from the space behind.
Spencer went home, simply packed her bags and left J City with Isabella by coach. She did it so briskly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Katherine wailed under the covers.
Charlie did not know how to comfort her. He could only hug her gently. After a long time, the crying gradually stopped.
"Charlie, I don't want my parents to get divorced."
"I see."
Charlie wiped the tears from Katherine's face and felt distressed by seeing her red and swollen eyes.
"I have sold the Rolls-Royce, and the money has been sent to your card. You have more than 25 million and you can do everything as you like."
"But does it have a big impact on you when I expose the money? And how should I explain it to my parents?" Katherine was worried.
A touch of warmth swept through Charlie's heart.
At the same time, Katherine still cared about him.
"Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want and I will support you unconditionally. As for your parents... just tell them you won the lottery."
"Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
Charlie laughed. "It is unbelievable that you've got $ 25 million. You parents are smart, and you will know you've got a secret. Just give them a reason and they won't ask further."
"Well, just do as you say." Katherine took the bag and urged, "Go buy the lottery now. Hurry up."
"It's late. The lottery shop has stopped selling now. What's more, it is not reasonable to buy it now. I will fake a few winning tickets. Rest assured and leave it to me."
Katherine nodded.
She felt strange. Now she trusted Charlie unconditionally and felt that there was nothing Charlie couldn't do.
"I'll cook for you and wait for you to come back."
"Yes, darling."
Charlie left the house and walked around the neighborhood. He called Jaiden and told him about the lottery stuff.
Forging winning tickets was an easy thing, as long as no one verified it.
"Dad?"
In the central garden of the community, Charlie accidentally saw his father-in-law.
Axel leaned against a big tree, clutching a bottle, surrounded by cigarette butts. His eyes were red and he seemed to be sad.
Charlie ran to him, "Dad, why are you here? Let me help you home."
"Charlie, I'm not a man."
