When Jed saw Charlotte, his expression immediately became ferocious. He snapped, "You slut, how dare you lay a hand on my son! Do you know that I only have one son, and I've never laid a finger on him? Who do you think you are to beat my son up?
"I'm not just going to kill you. I will make sure your entire family goes down with you!"
Charlotte was completely stunned upon hearing this.
The last time Jed had gone to her house to apologize, he entirely blamed himself for not raising Alexander properly. At that time, she and her father had thought that Jed was a reasonable man. They assumed that he was just someone who hadn't adequately disciplined his spoiled son.
Who would have known that Alexander and Jed were cut from the same cloth?
"Alexander, do whatever you want with that slut. Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will cover for you!" he added with a cold chuckle.
Feeling elated, Alexander responded, "Thanks, Dad! But are you sure that there's no problem with Gordon?"
"Don't worry. I've checked. Not only has he stopped helping the Hayes family, but because they seem to have angered their benefactor, he regrets ever helping them. So you don't need to worry about anything!"
Charlotte stood there, speechless. She was shocked to learn that the Hayes had offended their benefactor, and on top of that, they had offended Gordon. How could that be? They didn't even know who their benefactor was, so how could they have offended them?
Charlotte was starting to piece things together. Could it be that their mysterious benefactor was hiding right before them? Who is it? Who could it be?
