Inside the Pittman mansion hall, at this moment, the Pittman family’s patriarch, Russell Pittman, sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression on his face.
“Grandfather, you must teach those two a lesson!” Georgia said angrily, her face filled with resentment. “Those two went too far!”
“Yes, grandfather, that day, we were utterly humiliated…” Brian complained with a mournful face.
“Hmm, rest assured, I will make sure you get justice,” Russell nodded slightly.
Nikolas Pittman, the grandson of the Pittman family, also spoke up, “Charlotte has been too audacious, we must teach her a proper lesson this time.”
Georgia was his younger sister, so he was very angry after knowing she was bullied.
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice drifted in from outside the door, “Grandfather, I’m back.”
It was Charlotte and Quentin.
At the sight of the two, everyone in the Pittman mansion displayed anger.
In particular, Georgia and Brian were trembling with rage.
“Charlotte, do you have the cheek to come back?” she angrily questioned.
“Wasn’t it you who asked her to come back?” Quentin’s remark enraged Georgia.
Russell snorted, “Charlotte, do you know what you did wrong?”
“What did I do wrong?” Although she knew they had summoned her to hold her accountable, being directly reprimanded by her grandfather still made her feel somewhat wronged.
“How dare you!”
“Georgia is your sister, yet you made her make a fool of herself in public. Do you think the Pittman family hasn’t been humiliated enough? The things you did in the past were enough to make the Pittman family lose face!”
This scolding made Charlotte even more aggrieved, tears swirling in her eyes…
“With such an attitude, do you think you can become a part of the Pittman family again? Dream on! As your grandfather, I command you to apologize to Georgia and Brian right now!”
“I…”
Russell’s gaze turned icy, and he stood up directly. “You don’t listen to my words anymore? “Do you still consider me your grandfather? Do you even consider her your sister?”
Charlotte felt stifled. When Russell drove her out, did he treat her as his granddaughter? When Georgia bullied her, did she treat her as a sister?
No! She really wanted to retort!
But, she didn’t dare to defy Russell’s authority, and besides, if she truly angered him…
They would never be able to return to the Pittman family!
She made an immediate decision.
Just as she was about to speak, Quentin grabbed her hand and said, “Charlotte, let’s go. You don’t have to endure this injustice.”
“You… mind your own business,” Charlotte shook off his hand. “You’ll never understand the grievance I suffered.”
Georgia crossed her arms, “Apologize! Start now, and remember to be sincere!”
She had an air of superiority.
Nikolas also reprimanded, “Don’t you have any sense of your own identity and status? If this happens again, I’ll be the first one to slap you!”
Watching this scene from the side, Quentin felt an overwhelming anger.
The woman he cherished was being bullied like this by these people?
In secret, he was already plotting to make these people pay the price.
“I’m sorry!” Charlotte apologized, enduring the humiliation.
“Alright!” Russell waved his hand, “Let’s get down to business.”
“The Spicurity Group, one of the top financial conglomerates in Stresall, is currently looking to invest in a $50 million project.”
“I want you to go after this big project. Whoever secures it will be the director of our company. My expectations of you are high.”
“Also-”
He glanced at Nikolas and Georgia, “Nikolas, haven’t you been wanting to switch daycare for Joe? I recently made some connections with Sloburg Kindergarten and secured two internal slots.”
“If we win this project, I’ll give one slot to Joe.”
Upon hearing this, Nikolas’s eyes lit up.
Sloburg Kindergarten was the most prestigious local aristocratic daycare in Stresall, where children came from affluent families.
He had tried to use his connections to no avail, but now there was a chance to get in?
This was too good to be true! And he had long coveted the position of director…
Now was his chance! He had to seize it!
Nikolas nodded firmly, “Yes, Grandpa, I’ll do my best.”
“Good! Good!” Russell chuckled, “I believe in your abilities.”
“Grandpa, I also want to give it a try!” Just then, Charlotte suddenly spoke up, sounding a bit unsure, “I also want to switch Theo and Janessa to a new daycare…”
“Hmm?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes turned to her, with mocking smiles on their faces.
