How could she know any big shots?
Anger flashed across Russell and the others’ faces, showing intense fury.
They felt that Charlotte was just messing with them, unwilling to help, simply to ruin the Pittman family, leaving them embarrassed and homeless!
Disgusting!
“Charlotte, I’ll ask you one last time, will you help with this or not?” Nikolas almost roared, “You conniving hypocrite!”
Rashad was also incensed, pointing at her angrily, “Help you damn fool? With that attitude of yours, even if we could help, we wouldn’t. Who do you think you are?”
“Keep yelling at my sister, and watch as I knock you down with one punch! Get lost-”
Seeing Charlotte’s family’s strong reaction, Russell immediately spoke sternly, “Rashad, we’re all family here, so speak politely. Don’t be so aggressive.”
He knew this family always responded better to softness than hardness, so he needed to cajole them to achieve their goal.
With a stern expression, he continued, “About the incident last time, everyone involved should apologize to Charlotte. You really went too far.”
“Dad…”
“Grandpa…”
Upon hearing Russell’s demand that they apologize to Charlotte, they immediately became reluctant.
“Do you really want me to apologize to her personally?” Russell huffed.
At this comment, they didn’t dare say anything else. They reluctantly apologized to Charlotte, but she couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge them.
Is an apology effective?
Is it sincere?
If the Pittman family wasn’t in trouble, would they have come to apologize? Perhaps they would have been even more ruthless.
Ridiculous.
Emery fell silent for a moment, then spoke, “Charlotte, do you really not know who this is? Or are you sure this has nothing to do with you?”
Although he had been ostracized from the Pittman family, he couldn’t bear to see the entire family facing bankruptcy and being kicked out of their home.
“I really don’t.”
Charlotte shook her head firmly.
However, at that moment, a figure accompanied by a few followers strode in through the door.
“Uncle Emery, Auntie Emma, I’ve come to visit you. Is Charlotte at home?”
The person was Frank Duncan.
But today’s Frank was adorned in luxurious brand-name attire, exuding an air of grandeur. He was accompanied by a group of lackeys, and his demeanor was extremely imposing.
Full of confidence and pride.
As soon as everyone heard this, they all turned their gaze on Frank, a feeling that made him very satisfied.
“Frank? Oh-why are you here again?” Emma, seeing this, immediately showed delight. “Quick, have a seat, have a seat-”
In her view, Frank Duncan was a perfect match for her standards of a wealthy son-in-law; how could she neglect him?
Charlotte subtly furrowed her brow.
Rashad remained expressionless.
Emery nodded slightly.
Russell, upon seeing the grand entrance of this person, was momentarily stunned and asked, “Who is this…?”
Frank cleared his throat, then walked over with his head held high, saying, “I am Frank Duncan. My father has just taken over as the head of the Duncan family, hello.”
Upon hearing Frank’s words, the people present all brightened. The Duncan family, what a formidable presence! One of the top four richest families, the Duncan family!
This person…
The heir to the family head?
This was the future figure of power in the Duncan family, the entity they needed to ingratiate themselves with!
“Mr. Duncan,” Russell immediately approached with a flattering smile.
“You’re too kind.” Frank’s expression was smug as he waved his hand, and someone brought a box over. “Auntie Emma, Uncle Emery, I didn’t have time to prepare a proper gift for today’s visit, so please accept this modest token of respect.”
The box was brought over and opened, revealing a pile of brightly colored banknotes that immediately widened everyone’s eyes!
“Eight hundred thousand as a meeting gift, I hope the two of you will accept it. My father has just become the head of the Duncan family, and as his son, I am privileged.”
Seeing so much cash, Emma’s eyes immediately lit up.
