Chapter 1119
Back then, Beatrix would get into an argument with Charlotte without hesitation.
Now, I can't do that anymore. Eurydice had already given me an earful because of what happened the last time
around. I can't afford to anger her. Otherwise, the Gaudette family is not going to protect my family anymore. With
that, Beatrix had no choice but to apologize to Amanda.
“Since you already paid me, you can keep this broken necklace.” Charlotte grabbed Beatrix's hand and put the
necklace in her hand.
With that, Charlotte moved closer toward Beatrix and whispered, “Beatrix, even though this is Jadeborough, you're
still not supposed to bully Genevieve's kid. The child's great-granddad is General Zeigler. Don't you think General
Zeigler would come after you if he were to find out about what you did?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBeatrix was scared out of her wits, and her face went pale. Genevieve was Old Mr. Zeigler's granddaughter? The
Zeigler family founded the country. Neither the politicians nor the military would dare to disrespect Old Mr. Zeigler.
Besides, Baykeep practically belongs to the Zeigler family, and everyone's busy buttering them up! In recent years,
even the Gaudette family has been trying to rope the Zeigler family into their camp.
Beatrix could tell Charlotte was telling the truth, so she immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurried away.
As she was fleeing, she felt a sharp pain in her knee and ended up falling to the ground.
After Beatrix left, Charlotte gave Sally a thumbs up. “What a great move!”
“You're so kind, Aunt Charlotte.” Amanda wrapped her arms around Charlotte's leg and uttered in her cute voice, “I
hate that. I'm so happy to see her getting bullied by you!”
Charlotte pinched Amanda's cheeks and answered, “I'm not married yet, so please don't address me that way.”
“Okay, Miss!” Amanda hurriedly changed the way she addressed Charlotte.
Charlotte knew Beatrix was protected by the Gaudette family, so she wasn't one to be trifled with. Fortunately,
Genevieve told me about her relationship with the Zeigler family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to strong-arm
Beatrix. I wouldn't want my dad to keep helping me by exhausting his resources.
Amanda soon forgot about the incident and started picking the dolls she liked. Charlotte and Sally just kept following
her from behind.
Suddenly, Charlotte whispered in Sally's ear, “Is Genevieve really...”
Sally didn't know Charlotte well, so she remained silent. This is baffling. Only I and Frank are supposed to know
about Armand and his wife. How did General Zeigler find out about it? Now, even Beatrix knows about it too.
Before Sally and Amanda entered the doll store earlier on, Amanda said she wanted cream puffs. Hence, Lucian
went down to buy for her and missed the incident that had taken place in the store.
Lucian and Cooper ended up entering the doll shop around the same time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharlotte waved at Cooper and greeted him. She told him everything that had happened moments earlier before
asking him about Genevieve and Armand.
Cooper glanced at the kids and answered, “It's true.”
Charlotte was in disbelief. They were just fine!
Right then, she recalled the incident regarding the photo. “Is it related to Johanna?” she asked softly.
“I gave the photo to Timothy. He told me Johanna was kidnapped, but that didn't seem like the case to me,”
Charlotte added.
“It has nothing to do with Timothy and Johanna. Don't overthink it. If someone were to ask you about Genev, just
tell them you don't know anything,” Cooper reminded.
“I understand.” Charlotte nodded.
Charlotte's driver waited for her for a long time downstairs, so he ended up going upstairs to check on her.
The driver saw Charlotte and Cooper chatting, and they seemed to get along quite well. Before he approached
Charlotte, he took a photo of them discreetly and sent it to Jiminy.
“Hi, Ms. Benson. I'm here to carry your bags for you,” the driver said.
Charlotte only left with her driver after chatting with Cooper for a while more.
