Chapter 4: For Someone as Dirty as Her
After finishing her words, there was a slight change in Evelyn's expression and she grinded her teeth with hatred. "You gave up on Lawrence back then and he was forced to leave the city. Now that he has just returned to the country, he has started to lay hands on the Garcia Group. It's obvious he wants to take the chance to revenge."
Evelyn squinted and glanced at Charlotte from the corner of her eyes. She sounded even more despicable. "To be honest, it's all because of you. Therefore, you should be the one making amends for all of these now. I'll send you to Lawrence's and you have to make him give up on the thought of pressuring on the Garcia Group."
She squatted before Charlotte, pinched her chin and looked at her from left to right. A cold smile broke up on her lips. "You know men, they would more or less have some special feelings towards their first love. As long as you behave well, I'm sure you can do it."
A chill instantly spread over her body. Charlotte raised her head at once and met Evelyn's calculating eyes. She turned her head away strongly and rejected without hesitance. "I won't see him!" No matter for what reason, it was her who gave up on Lawrence back then, and she no longer had the eligibility to stand in front of him. For someone as dirty as her, she did not even dare to do so...
A slap landed on her face. Due to the impact, Charlotte fell hard onto the floor. "Who gives you the right to reject?" Evelyn grabbed her hair and forced her to raise her face. She narrowed her eyes and warned with a cruel look. "Charlotte, let me tell you. If I was able to force you to give up on Lawrence back then, I'll be able to use the same trick to force you back to his side."
"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you one thing. Your father was just saved from cerebral hemorrhage few days ago, and he's now relying on a bunch of medicine to survive. If he knows what kind of life you've been living these few years, what do you think would happen to him?"
"And your brother..."
As if her lifeline was almost being cut, Charlotte's chest tightened and she felt hard to breathe. "Don't say it anymore! I'll go! No matter what you want me to do, I'll do it!" She shrilled and interrupted her. Her body shivered uncontrollably. There had been a thousand times she was so eager to bite and break that woman's neck.
"Evelyn Wilson, why do you want to do this? Dad treated you so well and I treated you as my mother, why do you have to be so cruel and evil? You'll go to hell and you won't die peacefully!!" Evelyn let out a satisfied smile. "Those are not important, what's important is the Garcia's is now mine, and you are my utmost important chess piece."
She pushed Charlotte onto the ground, patted her hands casually and headed towards the exit. She stopped after taking just a few steps. “I suppose I don't need to teach you what you shouldn't do and say? Remember, no one knows where your father and brother are besides me. Even if you've told Lawrence the truth, he can't help you either."
"Plus, who would give up on a wonderful marriage and accept someone as filthy as you?" She laughed and slammed the door shut. Even after a long while, her complacent and reckless laughter still lingered on her ears. Charlotte lied on the floor with the rim of her eyes red and her tears instantly dropped.
Lawrence Harris. How could someone like her be so shameless to show up in front of him again?
A modest black car was speeding along the road and it soon reached a financial tower which was located among many skyscrapers. The moment the car stopped, Charlotte was pushed out of the car by someone behind her mercilessly. She staggered for a few steps to the front and instinctively raised her hand to block the sunlight from above.
It had been too long that her eyes seemed to be scorched when she first saw the sunlight after so many years. In order to cover the traces on her body, Evelyn's men had tried hard to dress her up. Although it was a hot and sunny day, they still made her put on a dress with long sleeves and thick fabric.
Charlotte looked at the strange things before her with a panic and frightened look. As she just turned around, a stretched limousine drove all the way and stopped right in front of her. The car door was opened and a long leg clad in suit pants showed up first. Charlotte froze at the spot the moment she saw that face and blood seemed to rush to her head.
"He's here! Lawrence Harris is here!" The press suddenly popped out behind her and rushed forward while carrying their equipment. She was squeezed to the middle and was forced to the front. Not knowing who had bumped into her from behind, she flew to the front...☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
