“Mom.” A young man stepped out from behind Aleena in the driver’s seat.
He had slicked-back hair, a slightly chubby build, dressed sharply, giving off the vibe of a moderately successful man. “Is this the girl you were talking about?”
“That’s right.” Aleena chuckled. “This is her.”
Charlotte furrowed her brows lightly.
“Ms. Wilder, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head up first.”
“Oh, don’t rush. Wait a moment, I’ll go up with Oliver to your place.” Aleena seemed overly enthusiastic, which made Charlotte uncomfortable.
How did this sharp-tongued woman become so warm?
She hadn’t spared them any trouble before.
“Ms. Wilder, there’s no need for that. It’s not time to pay the rent yet today.” Charlotte smiled awkwardly, refusing. Why would she invite such a person to her home if not for renting?
If it weren’t for renting, she wouldn’t want to meet such a vulgar person, let alone spend time with her.
“Girl, what nonsense are you talking?” Aleena became a little unhappy. “Me going to your place is your honor, you know?”
Aleena’s expression darkened slightly as she adopted a lecturing posture.
Charlotte couldn’t help but feel speechless, as if she was supposed to be honored by Aleena’s presence.
Nevertheless, she held back. “Ms. Wilder, it’s really inconvenient.”
“Fine, then I’ll just tell you here briefly.”
“This is my son, Oliver Freeman. He’s currently at a marriageable age, and I think you’re not bad, so I want to set you two up.”
Oliver looked at Charlotte, with a hint of heat in his eyes. “Hello, I’m Oliver. I’ve heard about you from my mom.”
Despite his deliberate attempt to conceal it, there was still a hint of arrogance in his tone.
Charlotte didn’t speak.
Aleena felt a bit smug. “Well then, let’s get down to it. My son is quite successful, with an income of two to three hundred thousand dollars a year.”
“But he has high standards and likes good-looking women. Ordinary women find it hard to catch his eye, so… you’re quite lucky.”
“I just thought, your conditions are not bad, at least you look quite pleasing to the eye.”
“With your family situation like that, it’s already good enough that we’re not picky about you. If you can marry into our Freeman family, it’s also your good fortune.”
“An unmarried woman with two kids like you can’t find someone better than my son, right?”
“But, if you want to marry into our family, I have a few suggestions…”
Aleena intentionally dragged out her tone.
Quentin couldn’t bear it anymore. “Ms. Wilder, Charlotte…”
“Shut up!”
“Who do you think you are to interrupt our conversation!”
Aleena glared at him angrily.
Quentin was speechless. He found it impossible to reason with such a rude woman. He really didn’t understand why this rude woman had a sense of superiority.
At this point, Oliver stepped forward. “You’re Charlotte, right? I’ve seen you a few times and got to know a bit about you from my mom.”
Oliver said in a confident tone, “You look okay, but your family conditions are quite average, and, to top it off, you even have two kids…”
“I won’t hold that against you.”
“But let me be clear, if you want to be with me, I absolutely won’t accept those two kids! And as for the bride price, it’s unnecessary, after all, it’s your fortune that someone like me with my conditions is willing to accept you! And you’re not… well, you know yourself.”
“Also, although my family is wealthy and yours is poor, if you enter my family, the Freeman family, my money won’t be spent casually on outsiders.”
“I’m sure you can understand that.”
“And…”
“Stop!” Charlotte couldn’t take it anymore. “Mr. Freeman, please behave yourself!”
“Firstly, I never intended to have any relationship with you.”
“Secondly, you don’t need to flaunt yourself in front of me, I’m not interested.”
“Thirdly, stop talking about marrying into your ‘Freeman family’… I can’t even reach your ‘Freeman family,’ let alone marry into it. That’s it, goodbye.”
“You…”
Charlotte’s attitude infuriated both Aleena and Oliver.
“What’s with your attitude?”
Aleena scolded angrily with her hands on her hips.
“Charlotte, you explain to me! You ungrateful thing!”
Oliver’s face was also flushed. How could such an outstanding man like himself be looked down upon by someone like her!
He felt deeply humiliated!
“Wait!” He shouted angrily, “How can you be like this? Can’t you see the reality? It’s your luck that I’m willing to have you!”
Charlotte turned around, snorting, “Thanks, but I’ll leave that luck to someone else. I wonder who’s unlucky enough to have it!”
Oliver felt humiliated, “Look at my car! A Benz! A Benz! Do you know? I have two houses in the city!”
“What are your conditions? Do you even qualify to pick me? Are you worthy? Do you have the qualifications?”
He was hopping mad.
His chubby face turned red!
Quentin turned back, “Driving a Benz is impressive? Two houses are amazing?”
“At least it’s more impressive than you poor losers who still pretend to be high and mighty!”
Oliver tugged at his tie fiercely, exhaling sharply through his nostrils.
Since this woman looked down on him, he’d step on them fiercely!
