“Outrageous!”
Russell was shaking with anger.
“Charlotte, I’m telling you, today you’re getting married whether you like it or not! If Mr. Duncan has set his eyes on you, consider yourself lucky. Don’t be ungrateful! If I say you’re getting married, you’re getting married, or else don’t blame me for not being polite!”
Forced marriage?
Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh out of irritation.
In this day and age, still daring to force someone into marriage?
What made her even more cold-hearted was Russell’s collusion with Frank, pressuring her on a day like this.
“If you want to get married, then go ahead and get married. If you love money so much, then marry yourself.”
With that said, she turned and walked away.
But Emma grabbed her, “Charlotte, listen to my advice. Mr. Duncan is wealthy and powerful, he genuinely cares for you. It’s hard to encounter such a man…”
“You should be grateful!”
“Isn’t he much better than those useless men out there?”
Charlotte retorted angrily, “I don’t care about his money, I don’t want it.”
“Whoever wants to get married, should go and get married-”
Frank’s face turned pale, the flowers in his hand almost crushed into pieces. A hint of darkness flashed across his face as he spoke hoarsely, “Charlotte, won’t you reconsider?”
“No need.” Charlotte coldly refused, “I will never marry you, not now, not ever. Don’t harbor any foolish thoughts.”
The whole room fell silent.
How did this woman have the courage to reject Mr. Duncan like this?
If Mr. Duncan liked her, she should be flattered. She doesn’t know what’s good for her!
“Fine! I hope you won’t regret this!” Frank gritted his teeth, his face darkening.
Russell lost his temper, “Charlotte, don’t be ungrateful.”
Ignoring him, Charlotte headed straight for the door without looking back.
Emma stomped her foot in frustration, why is this child so stubborn? What kind of spell has Quentin put on her?
With the experience of an elder, Emma tried to tell Charlotte that Frank was the best option!
Being with Frank, even if there’s no love between them, at least he could ensure a lifetime of luxury!
Isn’t that what many dream of?
Charlotte just doesn’t know how to appreciate it!
“Wait!” Georgia sneered, “You think you can just walk away like this?”
Charlotte turned to see Georgia holding a key, “Oh, what do you want now?”
Georgia shook the key in her hand, “You can’t leave like this. I want to have a look at your grand villa, take us there.”
Today, she will make this woman lose face completely!
Seeing Georgia’s intentions, Charlotte simply nodded, “If you want to go, then go. It’s up to you.”
She was numb to it all.
She didn’t have the energy to argue with someone like her.
If she wants to play, let her play, a few taunts won’t hurt her. How many times has she been kicked when she’s down? She’s used to it.
“Let’s go!”
Georgia grinned, “Let’s go see the show.”
“Let’s have a good look at Villa One, shall we?”
Her sneering expression drew chuckles from the crowd.
Georgia’s actions were meant to make Charlotte a laughingstock!
“Alright! We also want to see!”
“Let’s go!”
“Explore a bit!”
Frank also chuckled coldly, “I’d like to see what happens when Quentin’s lies are exposed.”
The group marched out of the house towards Villa One.
“Will we offend Mr. Rogers by doing this?”
“It should be fine, right?”
“You see, no one is guarding the villa now. It should be fine.”
“Let’s take a look, no harm done.”
Maverick patted Emery on the shoulder, his smile mischievous, “Haha, buddy, I’ve got to see what this filial son-in-law of yours, who bought you this super mansion, is really like.”
Emery blushed even deeper upon hearing the sarcasm, feeling embarrassed.
Emma looked like she wanted to disappear from the embarrassment…
Another public humiliation!
Their faces had been utterly disgraced.
Russell snorted, “Georgia, open the door. Let’s see if this key is real or fake.”
Since Charlotte had publicly embarrassed him today, he was going to make Emery and his family lose face as well!
This is the consequence of defying him!
“Everyone, watch carefully!”
Georgia raised her head high, walking toward the door with Brian, lifting the key in her hand, “Let’s take a good look at what this key really…”
She inserted the key into the keyhole, her face slightly stiffening, subconsciously turning it…
