<b>Chapter208 </b>
Lucy <b>ran </b><b>all </b><b>the </b><b>way </b>downstairs, her legs still feeling weak.
She hesitated, <b>unsure </b>whether to tell Charlotte about this.
Not <b>saying</b>, her conscience would be uneasy, but if she did, her situation would be very dangerous…
Just <b>as </b>she <b>was </b><b>about </b>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.
“Howe, 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 <b>turn </b>a deaf ear.” Caroline approached her, with a smile, “Besides, even <b>if </b><b>you </b>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 <b>react</b><b>, </b>Caroline patted her on the shoulder <b>and </b>said, “You need to weigh the pros and cons <b>yourself</b><b>, </b>whether to help me or someone who may note back.”
Caroline left a <b>message </b>and walked <i>away</i>.
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.
<b>On </b>the other side, Victoria saw the morning hot search and indeed looked <b>for </b>Charlotte.
In <b>the </b>living room, after the other servants had retired, Victoria began to scold <b>her</b>, “<i>What </i><b>are </b>you and Jaxson up to? Passing on one after another, even if you are in a <b>secret </b>marriage, you still need to restrain yourselves, how will those who know about <b>your </b>rtionship view us, the Hamilton family?”
“<b>Sorry</b>, I’ll <b>next </b>time…” Charlotte paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that there wouldn’t be a next time, and immediately corrected herself, There <b>won’t </b><b>be </b><b>a </b><b>next </b>time<b>.</b><b>” </b>
<b>“</b><b>Are </b>you <b>expecting </b><b>there </b>to be a next time?” Victoria was <b>furious </b>and didn’t <b>care </b>anymore.“How can Nancy look <i>at </i>me when <b>you </b><b>can’t </b>even manage your <b>own </b><b>daughter</b><b>–</b>in–<bw </b>properly?”
“Mom<b>, </b>why <b>were </b><b>you </b><b>so </b>angry <b>today</b><b>?</b>”
<b>Jaxson </b>walked into <b>the </b>living <b>room </b>at a <b>leisurely </b><b>pace</b>.
Charlotte looked at him, her brows <b>furrowed</b>.
“<b>Are </b>you <b>really </b>asking?” <b>Victoria </b><b>even </b><b>cursed </b><b>at </b>him,“<b>Are </b>you <b>deliberately </b>trying to provoke me<b>?</b><b>” </b>
<b>“</b><b>It’s </b><b>just </b>some hical media writing things <b>to </b><b>attract </b>attention,<b>” </b><b>Jaxson </b>stopped <b>beside </b>Charlotte, holding her arm and pulling <b>her </b>into his arms, “I’m not even angry<b>, </b>why <b>are </b><b>you </b><b>angry</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
Charlotte stiffened and pushed him subconsciously, but he remained unmoved.
Victoria looked at him <b>meaningfully</b>, then turned to Charlotte<b>. </b>After a moment, she <b>sat </b>back on the sofa and poured <b>herself </b>a cup <b>of </b>tea, “If it weren’t for fear of your grandmother’s reprimand, I wouldn’t bother with you guys<b>.” </b>
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 <b>raised </b>her eyes, set down the teacup, and <b>her </b>expression became <b>puzzled </b>andplex
She was starting to feel unsure about her son’s attitude towards Charlotte now…
The moment Charlotte walked out of the vi, she immediately broke free from Jaxson’s embrace.
Watching the sudden loss of warmth in his arms, Jaxson’s gaze fixed on her profile, <b>deep </b>to the extreme.
“Please let me know in advance, Mr. Hamilton, if you want me to act along with you in front of the elders. I don’t want any unnecessary misunderstandings.”
She had just left.
