“Remember, Charlotte is my woman. When you bully her in the future, I hope you all think about whether you can bear the consequences,” Quentin said, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his words deliberate.
At that moment, Quentin’s aura was terrifying. Not a single person in the room dared to utter a word when he spoke. Even Russell fell silent.
After collecting the bags from the floor, Quentin took Charlotte’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Charlotte felt a moment of daze, but being pulled by Quentin, she felt an unprecedented warmth…
After the two of them left, the Pittman family hall erupted into a clamor.
“This is outrageous!”
“Who does this guy think he is? How dare he act so arrogantly in our Pittman family!”
“This infuriates me!”
They were filled with anger, especially Georgia and the others, who felt humiliated beyond measure.
“Quentin! Charlotte!”
“One day, I will make you pay the price! I swear it!”
She shouted with bitterness.
She would remember those two slaps today.
The burning pain on her face constantly reminded her of this great humiliation.
“Enough!” Russell’s face darkened as he spoke. “Georgia, go and take care of your face! Today’s incident must not be leaked to the outside world, so as not to tarnish the reputation of our Pittman family!”
“Just take Quentin as a mere clown.”
“Furthermore…”
“The ribbon-cutting ceremony in the Night City must go without any mistakes. This is an opportunity for our Pittman family to climb higher. Understood?”
“Yes!” Maverick and Nikolas nodded, then turned to Georgia. “Don’t worry, Georgia, we will make sure you get justice.”
After being publicly slapped in the face by Quentin, their family was completely humiliated.
Outside, in the car, Quentin and Charlotte sat in the back seat.
“I was so angry just now. I never expected them to accuse me like that.” Charlotte felt a lot of pent-up frustration.
“Thank goodness you were there to support me.”
Quentin smiled faintly and said tenderly, “You are my woman. If I don’t support you, who will? But I don’t think it’s necessary to stay with the Pittman family.”
“That bunch of people, not a single one of them is good.”
Charlotte sighed softly, “There’s nothing I can do. They are family no matter what. My parents and brother dream of returning to the Pittman family, and I can’t do anything about it.”
“You’re just too kind. You need to assert yourself, so that others won’t dare to bully you.”
“That bunch of bastards have been bullying you to the extreme. How can you bear it? If it were me, I would have slapped them across the face.”
Charlotte nodded in agreement.
“By the way, I have some good news to tell you,” Quentin said with a smile. “Today, I obtained something, and I want to show it to you.”
Upon hearing this, Charlotte’s eyes brightened, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her beautiful eyes. “Could this be the surprise you mentioned?”
“Exactly.” Quentin laughed and deliberately kept her guessing. “Guess what it is?”
“I… I can’t guess,” she replied.
“Alright then, I’ll show it to you. If you think it’s a surprise, then give me a kiss.”
Charlotte’s cheeks instantly flushed, and she gritted her teeth. “Deal.”
What else could make her feel surprised? Her material desires weren’t high.
Quentin smiled and took out two paper cards. Charlotte took them and looked at them, her face instantly showing a mix of surprise and joy. “Enrollment confirmation from Sloburg Kindergarten?”
