Chapter208
Lucy ran all the way downstairs, her legs still feeling weak.
She hesitated, unsure whether to tell Charlotte about this.
Not saying, her conscience would be uneasy, but if she did, her situation would be very dangerous…
Just as she was about to dial a number on her phone, a figure appeared behind her out of nowhere and snatched her phone away.
Shocked Lucy saw Caroline’s face and instantly turned pale.
“How come, do you want to tell Charlotte everything you heard?”
Lucy’s body was shaking violently, and she didn’t dare to speak.
Caroline smiled slightly and put the phone back in her hand.“You can tell Charlotte, but you better think carefully about the consequences of going against me in the hospital.”
“If you want to continue in this industry, I advise you to be smarter. In this world, without connections, you should learn to turn a deaf ear.” Caroline approached her, with a smile, “Besides, even if you help Charlotte, what can she bring you? What can you get? Foolish girl, people don’t care about others, it’s every man for himself.”
Without waiting for Lucy to react, Caroline patted her on the shoulder and said, “You need to weigh the pros and cons yourself, whether to help me or someone who may not come back.”
Caroline left a message and walked away.
Lucy slumped against the wall and slowly sank to the ground, her head buzzing and the ironic yet realistic topics still echoing in her ears.
On the other side, Victoria saw the morning hot search and indeed looked for Charlotte.
In the living room, after the other servants had retired, Victoria began to scold her, “What are you and Jaxson up to? Passing on one after another, even if you are in a secret marriage, you still need to restrain yourselves, how will those who know about your relationship view us, the Hamilton family?”
“Sorry, I’ll next time…” Charlotte paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that there wouldn’t be a next time, and immediately corrected herself, There won’t be a next time.”
“Are you expecting there to be a next time?” Victoria was furious and didn’t care anymore.“How can Nancy look at me when you can’t even manage your own daughter–in–law properly?”
“Mom, why were you so angry today?”
Jaxson walked into the living room at a leisurely pace.
Charlotte looked at him, her brows furrowed.
“Are you really asking?” Victoria even cursed at him,“Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”
“It’s just some unethical media writing things to attract attention,” Jaxson stopped beside Charlotte, holding her arm and pulling her into his arms, “I’m not even angry, why are you angry?”
Charlotte stiffened and pushed him subconsciously, but he remained unmoved.
Victoria looked at him meaningfully, then turned to Charlotte. After a moment, she sat back on the sofa and poured herself a cup of tea, “If it weren’t for fear of your grandmother’s reprimand, I wouldn’t bother with you guys.”
Jaxson put his arm around Charlotte’s shoulder and said, “Then we’ll be leaving first.”
Hurry up and get lost,” Victoria said without even looking up.
Jaxson left with Charlotte.
Victoria slowly raised her eyes, set down the teacup, and her expression became puzzled and complex
She was starting to feel unsure about her son’s attitude towards Charlotte now…
