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.
Gina didn't expect me to say so as she said, "You..." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Hearing this, Caroline pulled Gina's hand and said, "Mom, you can go up now. I'll talk to her."
I probably guessed what Caroline was going to tell me, which would be all useless things.
After Gina went up, Caroline sat down next to me intimately and said with a smile, "Charlotte, it's my parents who figured out this idea. At first, I didn't agree..."
I had come to my senses tonight. So it was impossible for me to be tricked by her again.
Even so, as Caroline pulled my hand and said something against her will, I didn't interrupt her.
Thinking that it was almost time, I got up and walked to the door.
Seeing that I insisted on leaving, Caroline was finally impatient. She pulled me directly and scolded, "Charlotte Archer, you are a dog raised by my family. We have supported your life materially. Don't be so ungrateful!"
This was who Caroline really was.
I turned around and looked at Caroline's detestable face as I said in a light voice, "I wish that I could show Patrick what you look like right now."
Caroline acted like she had nothing to lose, "Hehe, you won't have the chance anymore! Patrick Cowell is my husband. And you are nothing!"
Looking at her, I suddenly felt that she didn't match Patrick at all.
Patrick Cowell, who was such an excellent man, would suffer great losses if he married Caroline.
I, who probably had been possessed, said, "I have to tell you something. I pressed my fingerprints on the wedding agreement. With a word from me, the agreement will be nothing but a stack of wasted paper."
Caroline was a little surprised.
Before she could speak, I continued, "So you and Patrick are not a couple yet. We are doing a fair competition."
After that, when she let go of my hand in a daze, I quickly turned around and left.
Enduring the pain, I ran out desperately and ignored Caroline who was cursing behind me, saying that I was a shameless b*tch. Even so, I didn't turn back.
