Chapter 34 Shots Fired
After comforting her daughter for a moment, Aurora breathed a sigh of relief and said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness... Thank goodness he didn't actually take action... That despicable Charlotte! Did she intentionally want us all to die at the hands of that monster?!"
Thinking about Charlotte, Jonathan was filled with rage, his face turning pale. He said grimly, "That bastard! If only... If only I had strangled her when she was just born!"
Aurora said, "You were involved with that wretched woman from the Moore family back then. Are you willing to do that?"
Jonathan remembered something, his expression becoming even more grim, "Don't mention Madelyn to me!"
Aurora knew that this slut was a sore spot for Jonathan and didn't want to argue with him. So, she changed the subject, saying, "What should we do now? With Charlotte having the support of Nelson, she might continue to torment our family in the future! Especially Vinny, who will be attending the same school as her!"
Jonathan replied, "How much longer can Nelson live? Her glory won't last!"
Thinking about Vivian's situation, he hesitated and looked at his beloved daughter, "Vinny, how about we don't go to Srolanya High School?"
"No!" Vivian screamed, "The whole school knows I'm going to Srolanya High School. If I don't go, how can I face everyone at school in the future?!"
Jonathan spoke kindly, "We can transfer to another school... Dad will arrange it for you tomorrow, okay?"
"No!" This time it was Aurora who objected, gritting her teeth, "Why should we let Vinny suffer because of Charlotte? This is a hard-won opportunity that we absolutely cannot give up!"
"Then what do you suggest?" Jonathan angrily asked, "You won't let Vinny transfer, and you're worried about her being bullied in Srolanya High School..."
Vivian said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry." She wiped away the tears on her face, "Given Charlotte's character, she's no match for me. I will definitely make her unable to stay in Srolanya High School!"
Aurora and Jonathan exchanged a glance, not saying anything more to each other.
Indeed, with Charlotte's personality, how could she possibly defeat Vivian?
...
Charlotte took one last look at the villa where she had lived for six years, feeling no attachment at all. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of liberation.
She was finally free from this family.
In the car, Charlotte wrestled with her thoughts for a while before finally asking the question that was on her mind, "Mr. Clark... If my father, Jonathan, refuses to sign, would you really... really shoot?"
Nelson found her question interesting, resting his hand on the back of her seat. He asked in a slow voice, "What do you think?"
Charlotte was a well-behaved child who followed principles and pursued beauty. She furrowed her brow and said, "You're just scaring them, right?"
Waylon, who was driving, chuckled.
Nelson replied, "I would really shoot."
Charlotte's fair face, tinged with a rosy hue, immediately turned pale.
She widened her eyes, looking at Nelson in astonishment. Her moist lips slightly parted, big enough to fit a duck egg.
Nelson's gaze darkened as he captured her delicate chin. His thumb slowly caressed her lips, feeling the trembling of the young girl's body.
In a low, hoarse voice, Nelson said, "Don't be afraid. I was just teasing you. In a society governed by law, no one can simply kill others." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Waylon thought to himself, "Mr. Clark, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Only then did Charlotte relax, forgetting that she had a finger on her lips, "You scared me to death..."
