Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 59

Staring at the two piles of banknotes, I shook my head. "Gina, you are so amazing. Are you preparing this money at any time so that you can set me up?"

Gina's face turned livid when she heard I call her "Gina".

"Bang!" Before I could react, Jeremy came over and raised his hand to slap me in the face! Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

All of a sudden, my vision was blurred. And my ears were buzzing.

I heard Jeremy scold me exasperatedly, "We gave birth to you. And we raised you for three years. You stole our money. How dare you call us like that?"

"Charlotte!" Caroline pretended to come over to hold me and said to Jeremy, "Dad, Charlotte is someone with a criminal record now. It's not easy for her to find a job. She won't be wanted by any company. So she surely did so out of desperation."

I sneered and pushed Caroline away, "Stop pretending, okay?"

"Charlotte."

"Look! You speak up for her. She doesn't even take your kindness to her heart. She's such an ungrateful thing!"

Gina pulled Caroline to her side.

"Yeah. You..."

"It's enough!"

When Jeremy raised his hand, intending to hit me again, Rosy, who was sitting on the side, finally spoke.

She waved to me and said kindly, "Come on. Charlotte, sit here."

"Mom, you can't be deceived by her anymore!"

Seeing that they had been putting on a show with great effort for so long and Rosy didn't change her attitude towards me at all, Jeremy was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged out.

Hearing Rosy's words, I sat on the sofa next to her.

She touched my face and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

I nodded and then asked her, "Grandma, do you believe me?"

In this family, Rosy was the only one who I considered as my relative.

"You're my granddaughter. How come I don't believe you?"

As she said this, she held my hand in her hand and patted it.

Everything was the same as before. And it seemed that nothing had happened before.

Seeing this, Gina became anxious as she said, "Mom, have you forgotten how she set up Caroline over and over again? There is solid evidence!"

"Mom, forget it."

Caroline held Gina's hand. But her eyes were a little red.

Her acting skill was indeed becoming better and better as day passed by.

"Stop it. I haven't seen Charlotte for a long time. I want to have a good talk with her. You can go back."

Rosy immediately ordered them to leave.

Gina and Jeremy were both dumbfounded. Especially, Gina, who stared at me closely as if she was eager to swallow me alive.

Later, they muttered a few more words. But Rosy still let Diane send them away.

After they left, Rosy pulled me and said, "Charlotte, they hid the whole thing so well from me. So I didn't know you had been in jail. You were wronged."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

I believed that Rosy sincerely loved me.

I took Rosy's arm and leaned my head on her shoulder. Then I shook my head and said, "It's all over. Grandma, I will try my best to start a new life. It is just that..." I paused and said, "I was wronged."

I had to tell her about this.

"I know. I know. If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have let you go to jail! It's all my fault. I don't care much about what's going on outside. So I don't know much about it."

Rosy patted me on the shoulder.

I can hear the self-blame in her tone.

Later, we talked a lot. She asked me about my work. And I told her about my recent work in Seth's company.

We've been talking till the evening.

Rosy asked me to stay for dinner. Over the dinner, she asked me, "Since you are not going back, do you need to tell Ned's grandson about this?"

"Well..." Her words made me entangled for a moment. But I still chose to lie, "No need. He has been on a business trip these days."

Rosy looked at me and didn't say anything at that time.

But after the meal was over, she said to me, "In fact, I know everything about Ned's grandson and Caroline. Although Caroline is a little clever, she can't do everything in perfect order. It's all his grandson's doing, isn't it?"

"Grandma, no..."

I didn't want Rosy to worry about my marriage.

But I didn't expect that she would turn back and found out all these things after she knew that something had happened to me.

After I explained to her about these two things, Rosy shook her head and said, "Ned doesn't believe you. But you are my granddaughter. I know you. And I believe in you!"

She took out a file bag and a key from the cabinet. Then she handed the key to me first, "After what happened last time, I didn't keep your share bonus on hold anymore. Thinking that you went to study abroad and it was unknown when you would come back, I bought a house with your money this year to avoid the deprecation of the money. You go to live there and don't live in Ned's grandson's house anymore."

"Grandma, you don't have to do that. I..."

"Take it. You are my granddaughter. Our Archer Family is not as good as the Cowell Family. Even so, you don't have to go far as to live under someone else's nose!"

Knowing that I was going to refuse her, Rosy forced the key into my hand.

Then she took out a bank card from her bag, saying that the rest of the bonus was inside the bank card.

I refused her over and over again. But Rosy insisted on giving the bank card to me.

That day, I stayed in Rosy's house until ten p.m.

When I was about to leave, Rosy asked the servant to take out a box from the warehouse and handed it to me.

I opened it and saw that the computer I had used in college was inside.

There were also some albums.

She said that when Jeremy threw away my things, she asked the servants of Archer Family to keep an eye on my things. Thinking that these things might be useful to me, she kept them for me.

I was very grateful to Rosy.

At the same time, only then did I know that she had someone among the servants of Archer Family who could keep an eye on the situation there for her.

I left with the box.

After I got home, I tried to turn on the computer, only to find that the computer seemed to be broken.

Helplessly, I put down the computer.

On the weekend, I received a call from Rosy, urging me to move into the new house.

I didn't have many things. So I tidied up my usual clothes and my previous computer and tablet. Then I opened the house property certificate. Reading the address on it, I was jaw-dropped.

"Unit No.1, City Y".

If it was asked as for which residential quarter of City Y was at the best location as well as got the most expensive price, It had to be Unit No.1, City Y.

This residential quarter was surrounded by water on all sides. And its property management was of the first-class.

If it weren't for my name on the house property certificate, I would have thought that Rosy had given me a wrong one.

After I took a taxi to the entrance of the residential quarter, a security guard eyed me and drove me away very rudely, "Go away. Promotion is not allowed here."

I hurried to explain, "I'm the owner. I just moved in today." "The owner? What is the address of your house?" In such a high-end residential quarter, even security guards were judging others by their looks condescendingly.

He looked at me and seemed to be sure that I was here to do the promotion. And he got a proud look on his face, indicating that he was waiting for me to be exposed.

When I was about to put down the luggage on my hand to show him my house property certificate, a gentle and steady voice came from behind, "I prove that she is the owner."

I turned around and looked at the person standing behind me, who looked a little familiar...

I soon remembered who he was. Although I was very reluctant, I still called out, "Uncle..."
