“Hmm?” Quentin and Charlotte were both taken aback. What was this woman up to now?
“What’s the matter?” Charlotte frowned. “Why are you causing trouble again?”
“I just want to ask one thing. Where did you get that Chanel handbag? A few days ago, I bought a new handbag, and it suddenly disappeared these past few days.”
“So, someone actually stole it!”
Georgia sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “A bag worth tens of thousands of dollars, how could a poor loser like you afford it? Considering that we’re from the Pittman family, I won’t bother with the fact that you stole my bag. Put it down and get lost.”
She had an air of commanding authority.
Georgia had been eyeing this bag for a long time but hesitated to make the purchase. However, when she saw Charlotte, this poor loser, carrying the bag she had been coveting, how could she sit still?
“This bag looked familiar!” Nikolas immediately echoed with Georgia, “It’s the one my sister bought a few days ago!”
Maverick’s gaze trembled slightly as he calmly said, “Charlotte, when did you learn to be a thief? You’ve disappointed your uncle. Put the bag down, apologize, and leave. We won’t pursue this matter any further.”
“You all…”
Charlotte was on the verge of losing her mind.
These guys were blatantly lying and accusing her of stealing the bag?
“I never expected this from you, Charlotte!”
“You’re truly embarrassing the Pittman family!”
“Return the bag immediately and get out of the Pittman family!”
Upon hearing these words, other members of the Pittman family trembled with anger, staring at Charlotte with contempt.
Given Charlotte’s financial situation, there was no way she could afford such an expensive bag. How else could she have obtained it if not through theft?
“Someone gave me this bag!” Charlotte argued back angrily, “Georgia, stop spreading false accusations!”
“Am I spreading false accusations? Do I need to? I did buy the same style of bag, and then it disappeared, coincidentally, you’re carrying the exact same style…”
“It’s hard not to be suspicious… hehe…”
“Besides, you can’t afford this bag in the first place! You definitely stole mine!”
Charlotte felt a wave of frustration. She knew that Georgia was lying, yet the other members of the Pittman family were standing there, self-righteously supporting her fabrication. Not a single person stood up for her!
She felt a chill in her heart. Her only hope was Russell. “Grandfather, this bag really belongs to me…”
Russell waved his hand indifferently and asked, “How much does the bag cost?”
Charlotte was taken aback. She didn’t know since it was bought by Quentin, and Georgia quickly interjected, “Its market price is 142, 000. See, she doesn’t even know the market price. How can she claim it’s hers?”
Russell looked at Charlotte and calmly said, “Charlotte, the result is already clear. I don’t want you to continue embarrassing yourself.”
“Put the bag down.”
“Leave.”
“Besides… even if this bag is yours, what difference does it make? Can’t you just give it to your cousin? Don’t let a bag ruin the harmony within the family.”
“Your temperament doesn’t match this bag. Georgia is more suitable for it.”
He spoke calmly, as if everything was perfectly reasonable.
Charlotte’s heart ached. “Why should I just give up on a bag worth tens of thousands? She accuses me of stealing, and thus I’m a thief? Grandfather! Have you ever considered my feelings?”
“Why is it that when they benefit, they never give me anything?”
“Why should I be labeled a thief just because she says so?”
“Bang!”
A loud noise rang out as Russell slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide with anger. “Shut up! Are you questioning the decision of the head of this family?”
“What I tell you to do, you do! I can distribute everything within the Pittman family as I please! When I say you stole it, even if you didn’t, you hve to bear it!”
“You are in no place to argue!”
“Here’s your last chance. Make your own choice, or else don’t come back again.” Russell assumed the stance of the family’s head.
“Hold on!”
Quentin shouted loudly, his gaze shifting towards Georgia. “You all keep accusing Charlotte of being a thief, but what if I can provide evidence to prove that the bag belongs to her? How would you all react then?”
