Second Marriage novel Chapter 160

Belinda stared at her blankly for a long time.

"You...It seems that you will only be satisfied after pissing me off," Belinda said.

Charlotte stood there, staring at her steadily.

"Mom, you asked me for 150,000, isn't it also killing me?"

"...Okay, it doesn't need to be 150,000! 100,000 is okay. Or 50,000 is also fine!"

"Mother, you really look at me too high."

"Charlotte, I raised you, did you repay me like that? It's only tens of thousands of dollars, and you don't want to give it to me? Do you want to be an unfilial daughter?"

Charlotte didn't speak, but her hand hanging beside her kept tightening. She bit her lower lip firmly, letting the strange sight of the street fall on her face.

Forget it, ignore them.

It was just that she really didn't have money now.

"Say something!" Belinda stepped forward and pulled her clothes vigorously, "Look at what you wear, and see what you use every day. Didn't I win it for you? You are ungrateful. You even want to abandon your parents when you have a good life."

She scolded loudly, and Charlotte closed her eyes and let her pull.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands swept her over and resisted all Belinda's attacks.

"Auntie, please don't be like this." A gentle voice rang above her head, and Charlotte opened her eyes quickly, staring at the incoming person.

It was Manfred...

Why was he here?

"You, who are you?" Belinda looked at the man who suddenly appeared to protect Charlotte. He was noble and looked extraordinary in everything he wore.

Belinda squinted at him. "Are you Lottie's husband?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, and explained anxiously, "Mom, he is not..."

Hearing Belinda's words, Manfred was stunned and smiled slightly, "You are Lottie's mother."

Charlotte looked at Manfred in astonishment. What did he mean by this? Why didn't he deny it!

"Yeah, I'm Lottie's mother. Are you her husband?" Belinda's smile became flattering. "My family has had some problems recently. So, I asked Lottie to borrow some money first. However, she is stubborn and tells me that she doesn't have money... How is this possible? Isn't she married to you? ... She is supposed to have lot of pocket money, right? Besides, she has a job..."

Just before Belinda finished speaking, Manfred smiled and asked, "Excuse me, how much do you want to borrow?"

Belinda quickly said the amount of money she wanted.

"Not much, only two hundred thousand dollars!"

"Mom! You just said..." Charlotte couldn't help but interrupt her shrilly.

Belinda gave Charlotte a stern look.

Manfred smiled and shielded Charlotte behind him, preventing her from speaking, then took out his wallet and drew a bank card from it and handed it to Belinda.

"Auntie, there are 300,000 dollars in this card. If you are in a hurry, use it first. The code is six sevens."

When Charlotte, who was dragged behind by Manfred, heard the amount of money, she came out anxiously to get the bank card. However, Belinda had taken it away first, and she was already very happy now.

"My son-in-law is sweet! Thank you. Lottie, you really married a good husband!"

After that, Belinda was afraid that Charlotte would come up to grab the money, so she quickly stepped back and said, "I have an urgent matter, so I will leave first, and I will see you another day."

After Belinda dashed across a street corner, it suddenly dawned on her.

Strange, wasn't Charlotte marrying a disabled person? Why was that man standing just now?

Then she told herself to forget it. After all, she had 300,000 anyway and could do anything in the future.

On the other side, Charlotte stood still on the spot, and Manfred turned to look at her.

"Well, your mother has gone."

"Why do you give her 300,000?" Charlotte asked lifelessly. She raised her head, depression filled in her beautiful eyes, "Do you know what the concept of 300,000 is? Do you know I can't afford it at all? Do you know what she will do with 300,000?"

Manfred was taken aback by the depression in her eyes, and after a moment he smiled faintly.

"It doesn't matter. I am very happy that I can help you. Moreover, I don't want you to pay it back."

Charlotte took a step back, her eyes widening.

"How is it possible not to pay back? I hate owing favors to others. Since my mother took your money, then I have to pay it back on her behalf!"

It was 300,000 dollars. Well...

The smile on Manfred's face was a bit bitter, "Are you blaming me?"

Charlotte stared at him without speaking.

Manfred looked worried, "Then you have to forgive me. I don't want to see you be beat and scolded again. It is really distressing, little fool!"

After speaking, Manfred reached out and rubbed her head.

"..."

Charlotte stiffed, staring at him incredulously.

What's the matter with this pampering tone...Charlotte saw that his look was complex. His gentle pampering appearance seemed to contain a more complex feeling.

What was that? ?

When Charlotte came into her mind, she took a big step back and looked at him with a little horror. Manfred's hand stopped in the air, and then it took him a long time to withdraw it.

The smile faded from the corner of his lips, "It's my fault, but I am only treating you as a family member. Don't feel stressed. The 300,000 dollars is a welcome gift for you."

Charlotte said, "...giving me 300,000 dollars as a welcome gift. You are so generous."

Manfred could know the sarcasm in her words.

Charlotte clenched her fists, "The welcome gift is not necessary. I will slowly return the 300,000 dollars to you."

After speaking, Charlotte turned and left.

"Charlotte..." Manfred tried to stop her, but Charlotte left quickly as if she hadn't heard it.

Charlotte rushed into the company. Her look became serious when she entered the elevator.

She had had an uneasy life since she was in the Moore family. Not to mention the money she owed to the company, she also owed Kennedy. She originally thought that working hard and winning projects could earn bonuses. However, she was demoted by Kennedy.

Now... it was really hard to make money.

Suddenly, Charlotte thought of the mall contract that Kennedy had given her before.

If it were not for this desperate moment, Charlotte had really forgotten the mall contract.

At that time Kennedy bought the entire mall and gave her the contract, she was embarrassed to accept it. But he didn't want the contract, so she hid the contract under the box.

Now it seemed... it was time for her to go to the mall.

When it got off work, Charlotte went straight to the mall.

She came to the clothing store which she visited last time. The waiter became happy as soon as she saw Charlotte go into the store.

"Ms. Wilson, you are finally here!"

Charlotte, "..."

Had she been looking forward to her coming?
