Chapter 9 Too Biased
Aurora pulled on Jonathan's arm and said, "How do you talk to a child? You scared Char!"
Jonathan snorted, "I think she's gotten too proud now!"
Charlotte pursed her lips and remained silent. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Aurora affectionately grabbed Charlotte's arm and asked, "Char, are you comfortable staying here?"
Aurora's grip on Charlotte's arm felt like a venomous snake, making Charlotte very uncomfortable. She calmly withdrew her arm and said, "I'm fine."
Aurora smiled and said, "You've married well now. The Clark family has such a good background, and Mr. Clark is so powerful..."
Back then, Charlotte would have gone along with her, but now she was thoroughly disgusted.
Married?! Aurora called her way of being sold like this "marriage"?!
Charlotte really admired Aurora's ability to switch sides so easily. Not long ago, Aurora was sneering at her as the daughter of a mistress. She even said that Charlotte had been raised by the Lopez family, so she had to repay their kindness. Now, she was holding her arm so warmly.
Strange things happened for a reason. Charlotte understood that Aurora had something to ask her for help.
Charlotte looked at Aurora and said sarcastically, "Then why didn't you let my sister marry into the Clark family?"
Aurora instantly froze in shock.
Jonathan said, "What nonsense are you talking about?! How could your sister, who is so outstanding, marry that evil spirit?!"
Charlotte's eyes narrowed, "Dad, you are at the Clark family."
Jonathan knew he misspoke and quickly shut his mouth, glaring at Charlotte, "You'd better know what you are!"
Aurora interrupted, "Okay, be careful how you talk to Char!"
She looked at Charlotte tenderly and said, "Char, your father is just angry. We've been waiting here for so long, you know your father's temper. Don't take it to heart."
Charlotte had finished her meal in less than ten minutes, and it only took her fifteen minutes to get there. For her previous tendency of being readily available whenever called upon, this time she had indeed made them wait for a long time.
Charlotte was unfazed, her fair cheeks showing no expression as she asked, "Just tell me, what do you want from me?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, but her tone was cold.
Aurora's smile vanished from her face as she cursed Charlotte inwardly, calling her a little slut who refused to accept kindness and deserved to be punished. She didn't bother to pretend any longer and said, "Since you've entered the Clark family's doors and survived, it shows you have some skills. Go talk to Mr. Clark and ask him to help your sister get into the Srolanya High School!"
Charlotte's pupils shrank, looking at Aurora incredulously.
Srolanya High School... it was the best high school in Guabia, and ordinary people couldn't even dream of getting in. The students there were all descendants of prestigious families, and those who
graduated from the school could enter prestigious universities without even taking the college entrance exams.
Vivian had always wanted to enter Srolanya High School, not because she was afraid of not being able to get into a good university, but because it was full of talented and influential noble children. Making connections with just a few of them would provide an astounding network, not to mention the teaching staffs at Srolanya High School were top-notch.
Clearly, when Aurora and Jonathan had brought Charlotte to the Clark family, they had intended to pave the way for Vivian. If Charlotte had been tortured to death by Nelson, they would have made up for the financial loopholes in the Lopez Medical Corporation. If Charlotte had survived, they would have drained her of her last bit of usefulness and sent Vivian to the Srolanya High School...
Charlotte looked at Jonathan and suddenly found it amusing.
How could they differentiate between their children so blatantly? Jonathan was willing to sacrifice his youngest daughter's entire future for Vivian's bright prospects...
