Chapter 571
Even with half her face disfigured, she still has such a hold over my son! Oh, this is maddening.
Lochlan was at a loss.
His own mother raised him up, and he was eternally grateful for that. He could still vividly remember what she had
to go through that night.
However, the fact remained that Lottie was disfigured. She spends her days cooped up at home and she’s never
offended anybody. Who would be as cruel as to disfigure her?
Charlotte stared dejectedly at Lochlan, her heart stone cold.
She could see the struggle and hesitation in the man’s eyes.
Then she burst into a heart-wrenching laugh.
“You don’t believe me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLochlan’s body twitched. He felt so guilty that he couldn’t even bear to meet Charlotte’s reddened eyes. “It’s not
that I don’t believe you, Lottie. I just want to get to the bottom of this before I come to any conclusions.”
“What I’ve said is the truth. But it doesn’t matter if you believe me or not,” Charlotte sighed as she shook her head.
“Please don’t appear before me ever again. I don’t remember who you are anyway. Kindly return me all of my ID.
Since the Fraser family doesn’t welcome me, you guys shouldn’t be withholding my stuff.”
Lifting her chin slightly, she gave them a frosty look.
Lochlan stared at her in disbelief. Is this still that quiet girl who couldn’t even express herself?
He discovered that the haughty look Charlotte had was extremely familiar. She looks... she looks just like Ashlyn!
How could she possibly resemble the cold and strong-willed Ashlyn?
I must be confused.
Lochlan’s head was in a mess. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t bring himself to believe either side of
the story.
Although Mrs. Fraser hadn’t had her say yet, he started dragging her out of the place.
“Don’t you find this humiliating? Let’s go home, Mom,” he pleaded.
Mrs. Fraser didn’t want Charlotte exposing any more of the Fraser family’s secrets. “Mr. Field,” she snorted coldly,
“Your actions today have been rather eye-opening. I certainly never expected our mayor to be like this.”
She then gave Charlotte a disdainful, albeit suggestive, look. “Could it be that a certain vixen has pulled the wool
over your eyes?” she mused as she looked from Mr. Field to Charlotte and back again.
If she were going down, she’d drag the Field family down with her as well.
She certainly didn’t believe Mrs. Field would welcome Charlotte anymore after hearing what she said.
As expected, an outraged expression flashed across the latter’s face.
Much to her surprise, however, Mrs. Field began marching toward her just as she was about to leave with Lochlan.
Smack!
A tight slap landed across Mrs. Fraser’s face. As a noblewoman, she was well-respected by many. Furthermore, the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfact that her nephew was Dixon meant that people dared not easily offend her.
Given her seniority, she hadn’t expected Mrs. Field to have the guts to slap her.
Her eyes widened with shock as pain seared across her cheek.
“What did you do?” She unleashed an ear-piercing shriek. “How dare you hit me?”
Not only was everybody present completely flabbergasted, but so were the people watching discreetly from outside
the Field family home.
Mrs. Field is famous for her elegance and grace. She actually hit someone?
“Kate Lawrence!”
Mrs. Field addressed Mrs. Fraser by her full name! This b**** has gone too far!
“My goddaughter, Lottie, is a sweet and obedient girl. And my husband, James, is a righteous man. Neither of them
deserves to be defamed and insulted by you. How could you say such nasty things and trample over other people’s
dignity? It truly is the misfortune of the Fraser family to have you as one its members. Don’t blame me for showing
you no mercy if you dare to spread this misfortune to the Fields! If I hear about such things in the future again, I will
never forgive you!”
She even pushed the both of them so hard that Mrs. Fraser lost her balance and fell onto the ground.
