Listening to their conversation, Charlotte was almost furious.
“Get out now!”
She gritted her teeth and forcefully pushed Frank out the door, pointing towards the entrance, “If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Charlotte, how dare you…” The Pittman family members wanted to say a few more harsh words.
But seeing Charlotte pick up a broom, her clear eyes coldly staring at them, they immediately felt a bit panicked.
“Fine! Great!” Russell was furious, “This is how you treat your grandfather and clan members! Charlotte, you’ve got guts! We’re leaving!”
He was close to exploding with anger.
This troublemaker!
Russell left with his hands clasped behind his back, the others could only glare fiercely at Charlotte, then begrudgingly followed Russell out.
Frank stood outside the door, his face filled with malice.
Cursed woman!
He had pursued this woman for years, and now she not only remained unmoved, but also drove him out?
Times had changed!
He was already the young master of the Duncan family, how could he endure such humiliation?
“I will definitely get you, you wretched woman, ravish you thoroughly, then dump you, let you crawl back to me like a dog!”
His mind roared in madness.
In truth, he was only attracted to Charlotte’s beauty, how could he really like her? What drove him now was nothing but an unattainable obsession!
Seeing Russell and the others walk out, Frank’s malicious expression softened.
“Mr. Duncan!” Russell immediately caught up, speaking in a fawning tone, “Can we have a word?”
“Please, Grandfather.” Frank suppressed his feelings of humiliation and anger, forcing out a smile.
The two walked side by side, and Russell spoke in a low voice, “Mr. Duncan, the crisis currently facing the Pittman family is your doing, right?”
“Huh?”
“What?”
Frank was completely bewildered, what was going on?
He hadn’t done anything!
Russell continued, “Inspector Wade has informed me that the downfall of the Pittman family is due to a powerful figure who is dissatisfied with us, speaking up for Charlotte…”
“So, that’s why the Pittman family is in such dire straits…”
“A powerful figure?” Frank was still puzzled, “Grandfather, I really don’t know what you’re talking about…”
Russell secretly thought that Frank was definitely pretending!
Among Charlotte’s many suitors, besides Frank, who else had this kind of power…
But it wasn’t wise to reveal everything, so they had to play dumb.
After a moment, Russell said, “Mr. Duncan, these are internal conflicts within our family. Even if Charlotte resents us, she wouldn’t want the Pittman family to be ruined.”
“Cutting ties was just a moment of anger from her.”
“Mr. Duncan, please don’t take it to heart.”
“If you can help us resolve the crisis facing the Pittman family, we will definitely marry Charlotte to you! I know her very well!”
“As long as you resolve our crisis, we can guarantee that Charlotte will marry you, I stake my life on it!”
“Really?” Frank’s face lit up with excitement and a hint of madness.
“Of course.” Russell chuckled lightly, “I’ve watched her grow up, I know all her weaknesses, she will definitely yield to you.”
Russell changed the subject, “However, there are conditions we’d like you to consider…”
Frank’s eyes narrowed, he didn’t know who the Pittman family had offended, causing them to be targeted now. But with his current status, it wouldn’t be a problem to help the Pittman family…
Might as well take on this matter, get Charlotte first and figure it out later!
“Alright!” Frank nodded slightly, “This matter is on me!”
“I have the power now, and the capability to help the Pittman family get back on their feet, but…”
“I also have the power to crush the Pittman family! I hope Grandfather, you remember that.”
“Yes, yes!”
Seeing Frank’s expression, the Pittman family members were even more fearful and apprehensive, immediately concluding that Frank was the one behind their troubles!
This made them more afraid of him.
It also reinforced their resolve to pressure Charlotte into submission, to make her marry Frank!
Frank saw their attitude, sneered inwardly. Whatever these foolish Pittman family members thought, it wasn’t his concern!
He just wanted to win over Charlotte by any means necessary!
