Charlotte quietly listened as Amanda went over it again, and her pretty face was expressionless. After Amanda had finished speaking, Charlotte responded, "I won't meddle in your personal affairs."
Helena was surprised and asked, "Charlotte, don't you have humanity? That's your own mother!"
Charlotte lowered her head and said indifferently, "This is not your concern. Although I won't help you, I can share some information with you."
Amanda and Helena exchanged a glance, and Helena asked, "What is it?"
Charlotte briefly told them what she had heard from Sophia and added, "As long as you can gain access to the things in her safe, she'll end up behind bars for sure."
They were taken aback and asked, "Are you serious? How dare Amanda do such things?"
Charlotte didn't reveal any further details and said simply, "If you manage to obtain these materials, give me a call."
Amanda questioned, "Even if what you've said is true, we have no idea what the password is..."
Charlotte replied, "Jonathan knows it."
Amanda was puzzled and asked again, "What do you mean?"
Charlotte responded, "Nothing. It's all up to you. I have other matters to attend to, so please excuse me."
With that, she picked up her backpack and left the restaurant.
Helena stared at her mother with a puzzled look and inquired, "Mom, what does Charlotte mean? How could we possibly get the ledger and contracts?"
Amanda clenched her teeth and replied, "...She said Jonathan knows the password."
Helena stared at her mother with a puzzled look and inquired, "Mom, what does Charlotte mean? How could we possibly get the ledger and contracts?"
Amanda clenched her teeth and replied, "...She said Jonathan knows the password."
"Jonathan? Why did she mention him?" Helena still didn't get it.
Amanda hesitated, "...Men are willing to say anything in bed."
Helena finally grasped the implication and her eyes widened in shock, saying, "Charlotte wants me to seduce her own father?! How could she..."
"But this is our only option now, Helena!" Amanda held her hand and added, "If we want revenge, this is the only way. I won't force you, Helena. You have to decide for yourself."
Helena asked, "Can't we find another woman?"
"Finding someone else isn't safe. It's too easy for Aurora to discover," Amanda spoke in a hushed tone, "Amanda, if it were possible, I'd even be willing to do it in your place, but..."
Helena clenched her fist and asked, "...What if that wicked Charlotte is deceiving us?"
"...We don't have other choices."
Helena had a bitter smile and said, ...After everything Aurora's done to us... I won't let her off the hook."
...
Charlotte clenched a fist, took a deep breath, and looked up at the sunset sky.
She had never done anything like this before. Even though she had meticulously planned it, she was still a bit scared to carry out her plan.
She feared changing into a different person, but the path ahead was long, and there was no turning back.
Waylon was busy today, so Charlotte was picked up by another driver, whom she didn't know. This person didn't talk much and drove her back to the Oswye Community. Nelson hadn't come back yet. Charlotte took her dog and went to inspect her small farm. She found that the messy vegetable patch from the day before had been enclosed by a small fence, and a wooden sign next to it read, "Lottie's Farm" which was written in childish handwriting.
Charlotte blinked in surprise.
That was so embarrassing! Who made this?
Paisley said with a smile, "This was done today at Mr. Clark's request before he went out. He wanted to protect the garden from Magnolia." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Charlotte asked, "What about that sign?"
Paisley replied, "That was Mr. Clark's idea too. He thought it was necessary to clarify the ownership."
Charlotte was speechless.
How could Nelson be so childish?
However, she touched the wood sign and didn't remove it.
After finishing her homework, she read books for a while. Nelson finally returned home. They had dinner together, and Charlotte planned to take the dog for a walk. Nelson said, "I'm coming with you."
Magnolia protested silently by holding onto Charlotte's leg. Charlotte felt somewhat confused because he and the dog didn't seem to get along well with each other. Eventually, she patted Magnolia, and Nelson could finally go outside with them together.
Oswye Community was large, but not many people lived here, and there was a long distance between different villas. Charlotte never got to meet her neighbors.
Magnolia was nothing like a typical gentle Samoyed; instead, it was as naughty as a Husky. Charlotte couldn't help but wonder if it was born into the wrong kind of dog.
Once they were outdoors, Magnolia instantly ran around chasing butterflies and rolling around on flowers. It was too lively and active.
Charlotte, gazing at its muddy paws, sighed, "I have to bathe it when we get back."
Nelson asked, "Is keeping a dog too much trouble? If you're not up for it, we could send it to someone else tomorrow night."
Magnolia was a clever dog and seemed to understand what he said. It quickly lunged at Charlotte, but she remembered what happened last time and hid behind Nelson.
Nelson looked down at it and scolded, "I'm your owner, and how dare you be so unfriendly towards me?"
Although Magnolia didn't like Nelson, it was also afraid of him, as it immediately began to whine.
Nelson sneered and took Charlotte's hand, saying, "Let's go."
Charlotte took a walk with Nelson for about half an hour, with the dog tagging along and whining, trying to grab their attention.
After they got back, Nelson held a video conference which lasted until two o'clock in the morning. Most of the attendees favored a peaceful resolution, but Nelson disagreed. He sneered with a gloomy face, "You only learn how to fight back with guns pointed at your heads, don't you?"
The council members who were strongly against him fell silent.
The President of Guabia, who wore a tired expression on his aging face, quickly masked it with indifference. asked, "We are currently divided into two sides, one advocating for peace and the other for war. Whose counsel should I heed?"
No one dared to utter a word.
Nelson calmly replied, "There's no need to test me. I insist that either Keswon publicly apologizes to us in front of other countries, or they should prepare for the might and fury of Guabia. There are no alternative options."
The other council members didn't dare to say anything and just cast their gazes towards the President, who tapped his fingers on the table. The President asked, "Nelson, are you aware of the cost of wars?"
Nelson answered, "We must defend for every inch of our territory. It's something even elementary school students know. You don't need me to reiterate it."
The President sighed and continued, "Begin negotiations with Keswon. If they refuse to offer an apology, then..."
"We shall go to wars."
