In the hospital, Russell slowly regained consciousness, his face terrifyingly pale as he looked at the group of people surrounding his hospital bed and waved his hand. “Water, give me water-”
Nikolas quickly fed him some water.
Russell’s complexion improved slightly, and he parted his lips, “How long was I unconscious for?”
“You were in a coma for five or six hours. The doctor said it was a faint due to elevated blood pressure, and there’s no other major issue. Don’t worry!”
“Is our the Pittman family really gone?” Russell’s lips trembled, “It’s my lifelong effort! I can’t just watch it disappear like this… Help me up! I want to see Charlotte!”
“Dad… do we really have to beg that woman?” Maverick looked resentful, “I can’t bear doing this! Just go warn her and make her lift the ban on the the Pittman family immediately?”
“Fool!” Russell rebuked, “Why can’t you see the situation clearly? Can you decide this matter now?”
“If Charlotte doesn’t spare us, we, the Pittman family, won’t have a chance to rise again. Let’s bow to her for now, and settle the score with her when the opportunity arises!”
Russell’s face darkened as he spoke, his fists clenched.
If it weren’t for Charlotte, would the the Pittman family have fallen to such a point?
It’s all because of Charlotte!
At the Pittman family’s rented house, a group of the Pittman family members arrived in front of the door, and Russell, supported by others, rang the doorbell. Emery, as soon as he saw him, was shocked.
“Dad, why are you here?”
Although Russell had not been good to them, he was still their father. How could they show him a cold face?
Although the things Russell and others did to Charlotte in the past few days made him very angry, he still didn’t dare to confront Russell. Firstly, because Russell was his father, and secondly, because Russell’s years of pressure had deeply ingrained fear in him.
He was afraid.
“I’m here to find Charlotte.”
Russell gently pushed him aside and walked in expressionlessly. The interior made him frown slightly, with a hint of disdain in his expression.
“It stinks!”
“People actually live in a place like this?”
“It’s really terrible…”
The Pittman family murmured, holding their noses, their faces full of disdain and disgust.
This made Emery hang his head in shame, feeling extremely inferior.
The Pittman family had always lived a privileged life, unlike him, who had lived like a stray dog these past few years! This made him unable to lift his head in front of the other members of the family!
“Shut up, all of you.”
Russell reprimanded in a low voice, then looked at Emery with a stern gaze, “Is Charlotte at home?”
Emma quickly stood up and said, “Dad, Charlotte has gone out to look for a job. How could she be at home at this hour? If you’re looking for her, I’ll pass on the message.”
She didn’t want this group of people to see Charlotte.
She was annoyed just by seeing them.
She didn’t know what bad idea they were brewing again!
Russell glared at her, “Don’t interrupt. What’s a woman’s place to be so talkative?”
This reprimand made Emma grit her teeth, she hesitated for a moment and then shut her mouth, but she felt very wronged in her heart!
The Pittman family was in ruins, where did this old man get this sense of superiority from?
“Emma, what you did was not righteous. Charlotte is clearly at home, why would you tell such a lie?” Maverick sneered, “Hurry up and let her out!”
“I…”
“What ‘I’?” Maverick put on a show of a big brother, “Hurry up! Now you guys have grown bold, huh? How dare you deceive the master?”
“We’ve come to find her, and there’s something we need to discuss with her! If she doesn’t come out soon, I, as the elder, will personally drag her out…”
“Yes!”
“Hurry up and get Charlotte to come out!”
“Otherwise, we won’t be so polite!”
The Pittman family were clamoring, venting all their anger in an indignant manner, showing a posture of seeking justice and accountability.
Creak-
Charlotte and her brother opened the door and walked out of the room. Charlotte’s expression was cold as she said, “If you have something to tell me, just say it!”
