Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 111 Go Back Early

Chapter 111 Go Back Early

Rumors at school gradually died down. Although some people would still discuss this matter, after Reagan was expelled, students gradually realized that Charlotte was not a helpless illegitimate daughter like they thought she was and that her backer was probably a very powerful person. Therefore, they tacitly avoided provoking her.

Charlotte felt more relieved.

Nicholas spun the pen between his fingers at high speed and slightly tilted his head to look at Charlotte, asking, "Who helped you with Samantha's matter?"

Charlotte paused and shook her head, answering, "I don't know either."

Nicholas said with a smile, "How would someone help you without letting you know? That person is very powerful and Samantha was directly taken away from the municipal police station."

Eloise turned around and joined the talk, "Yes. I wonder which kind-hearted person did this."

Charlotte thought it was Nelson's doing, but since the latter didn't admit it, she became uncertain about it either. She replied with a smile, "I must thank that person if I know who it is."

Cecilia spoke, "It has been past, so let's drop this topic. We have a riding lesson this afternoon. Is anyone interested in competing with me?"

Eloise immediately rolled her eyes and retorted, "Ms. Wesley, you're very skilled in horse riding. Who would want to compete with you?"

Cecilia slapped Nicholas' desk and asked, "Nicholas?"

Nicholas put down his pen and replied, "Okay."

Eloise was not very interested in horse riding. Holding her chin, she looked around the classroom and asked, "Hey, why is Andrew absent again?"

Cecilia replied, "Someone said he was home arrested by his mother."

"Why?" Eloise asked curiously.

"Because of Charlotte. Andrew spoke for Charlotte when she was in trouble. You also know Andrew's mother's personality. Her desire to control... Tsk... She doesn't want Andrew to get close to Charlotte."

Hearing Rachel's name, Charlotte suddenly remembered the cheque.

It didn't have a high face value, just ten hundred thousand.

She had never seen Rachel before marrying into the Clark family, however, she had learned about her methods when she studied in the Seventh High School.

At that time, shortly after Andrew transferred into the new school, a middle-aged woman came to the Seventh High School. She slammed the cheque right onto Charlotte's face in front of other students and asked her not to pester Andrew anymore.

At that time, it caused a commotion and Charlotte was almost expelled. She thought that woman must be Andrew's mother. However, much to her surprise, Rachel looked down upon her so much that she even didn't want to meet her in person. She just designated a servant to deal with her.

"I'll give you ten hundred thousand. It isn't because the Clark family is stingy, it's just because you, Charlotte Lopez, are such a bitch and you only deserve this amount."

"Actually, it's not a small amount. It can cover your grandfather's medical expenses for a month. Don't feel aggrieved. We've been kind enough to you."

"If you pester Andrew again, we won't ask you to leave him with money anymore."

...

Those words were still vivid in her mind.

Apparently, Eloise knew a thing or two about Andrew's family. Cecilia disdained Rachel very much and remarked, "She's not the real daughter of the Clark family. I don't know why she acts so arrogantly every day. I heard that Mr. Clark didn't give a shit about her at all."

Charlotte's ears twitched when she heard the words "Mr. Clark". She asked in a weak voice, "Have you ever seen Mr. Clark?"

Cecilia replied with a matter-of-the-fact tone, "No."

Charlotte was rendered speechless.

Eloise joined them with great interest, "Hey, I heard that Mr. Clark looked very horrifying. Is that true?"

"Probably. I heard from one of my friends several years ago that Mr. Clark didn't like to show up in public because he looked horrifying."

Eloise heaved a sigh and said, "Although my cousin is Mr. Clark's adjutant, I've never seen him. I'm so afraid of cousin and I don't dare to ask him about this."

Cecilia said confidently, "He must look so ugly and ferocious. If he has a good appearance, why doesn't he like to show up in public?"

Eloise agreed, "I think so."

Charlotte was rendered speechless again. Nelson's face appeared in her mind. It was true that he looked very ferocious... But as for ugly... No place of his body could be described as "ugly".

"Indeed..." Charlotte contemplated her words and continued, "I think Mr. Clark is good-looking."

Eloise and Cecilia immediately looked toward her and asked in unison, "Have you ever seen him?"

Charlotte replied weakly, "No... No..."

Cecilia said, "How would you know if you haven't seen him?"

Charlotte was lost for words. She wanted to tell them that Nelson was not ugly at all.

However, Cecilia and Eloise had stopped talking about this and shifted to a new topic.

...

At the weekend, Matthew came to pick up Charlotte on time.

Nelson looked gloomy because he had just finished a bowl of bitter decoction. He didn't even have a good attitude toward his own younger brother. He said blandly, "Take her back intact."

Matthew nodded and replied, "Okay."

Charlotte had prepared everything and was holding a little suitcase. Matthew took a glance at her and took the suitcase from her. Charlotte was surprised and hurriedly thanked him.

Nelson clasped Charlotte's wrist and said gloomily, "He's asking for your help, so you don't have to thank him."

Charlotte was a bit helpless to Nelson's bad temper. She nodded and replied, "Okay."

"Go back early." Nelson let go of her.

Charlotte smiled, her eyes curving, and replied in a soft voice, "I see."

...

The Ryker family was also a rich, prestigious family. But because most members of the family were engaged in the political circle, it didn't have many connections with the Clark family whose members mainly engaged in the military circle.

Charlotte looked out of the car window to appreciate the scenery outside. Matthew who was driving the car suddenly broke the silence, "Don't mention me if Ms. Ryker asks you about the recommender."

Charlotte was dumbfounded. She asked, "Why?"

"She may get unhappy if she knows you are recommended by me." Matthew's handsome face looked expressionless, but the subtle narrowing of his eyes exposed his unease.

Charlotte instinctively felt that something must have happened between the two. But as thoughtful as she was, she didn't probe into it and just nodded her head.

The Rykers' mansion was similar to the Clarks' mansion. It was also an ancient building. When Matthew stopped his car, Charlotte found someone was already waiting for them. It seemed like Matthew had informed them in advance.

However, the maid looked very shocked when she saw Charlotte. It was not difficult to guess the reason because Charlotte looked too young.

But the maid of the Ryker family was still very polite to Matthew and Charlotte. She led them to Fiona's courtyard and explain with a smile of apology, "It's such a coincidence that the patriarch of our family has to deal with some affairs and he has to ask our little young master to entertain you. Please don't take it as disrespect."

Matthew replied, "It doesn't matter." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They walked past a covered corridor and then reached the main hall of the mansion. There was a set of redwood furniture in the hall and its decoration was very classical, elegant, and unique.

However, the red-haired young man who was in a biker jacket and was sitting in a chair cross- legged and playing a game looked very incompatible with this living hall.

The maid heaved a sigh and reported, "Little Young Mater, Mr. Matthew Clark is here."

The young man replied impatiently without even raising his head, "Don't disturb me."
