Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 59

Staring at the two piles of banknotes, I shook my head. "Gina, you are so amazing. Are you preparing this money at any time so that you can set me up?"

Gina's face turned livid when she heard I call her "Gina".

"Bang!" Before I could react, Jeremy came over and raised his hand to slap me in the face!

All of a sudden, my vision was blurred. And my ears were buzzing.

I heard Jeremy scold me exasperatedly, "We gave birth to you. And we raised you for three years. You stole our money. How dare you call us like that?"

"Charlotte!" Caroline pretended to come over to hold me and said to Jeremy, "Dad, Charlotte is someone with a criminal record now. It's not easy for her to find a job. She won't be wanted by any company. So she surely did so out of desperation."

I sneered and pushed Caroline away, "Stop pretending, okay?"

"Charlotte."

"Look! You speak up for her. She doesn't even take your kindness to her heart. She's such an ungrateful thing!"

Gina pulled Caroline to her side.

"Yeah. You..."

"It's enough!"

When Jeremy raised his hand, intending to hit me again, Rosy, who was sitting on the side, finally spoke.

She waved to me and said kindly, "Come on. Charlotte, sit here."

"Mom, you can't be deceived by her anymore!"

Seeing that they had been putting on a show with great effort for so long and Rosy didn't change her attitude towards me at all, Jeremy was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged out.

Hearing Rosy's words, I sat on the sofa next to her.

She touched my face and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

I nodded and then asked her, "Grandma, do you believe me?"

In this family, Rosy was the only one who I considered as my relative.

"You're my granddaughter. How come I don't believe you?"

As she said this, she held my hand in her hand and patted it.

Everything was the same as before. And it seemed that nothing had happened before.

Seeing this, Gina became anxious as she said, "Mom, have you forgotten how she set up Caroline over and over again? There is solid evidence!"

"Mom, forget it."

Caroline held Gina's hand. But her eyes were a little red.

Her acting skill was indeed becoming better and better as day passed by.

"Stop it. I haven't seen Charlotte for a long time. I want to have a good talk with her. You can go back."

Rosy immediately ordered them to leave.

Gina and Jeremy were both dumbfounded. Especially, Gina, who stared at me closely as if she was eager to swallow me alive.

Later, they muttered a few more words. But Rosy still let Diane send them away.

After they left, Rosy pulled me and said, "Charlotte, they hid the whole thing so well from me. So I didn't know you had been in jail. You were wronged."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

I believed that Rosy sincerely loved me.

I took Rosy's arm and leaned my head on her shoulder. Then I shook my head and said, "It's all over. Grandma, I will try my best to start a new life. It is just that..." I paused and said, "I was wronged."

I had to tell her about this.

"I know. I know. If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have let you go to jail! It's all my fault. I don't care much about what's going on outside. So I don't know much about it."

Rosy patted me on the shoulder.
