Chapter 320

However, she resisted the urge to do so.

The sight of the girl had grated on her nerves since a long time ago, but she refrained from saying anything about it in front of her son.

This little b**** is a vixen who will only drag my son down.

She had blossomed into a graceful young lady in the past few years. Men would inevitably be attracted to her beauty like a moth to a flame.

The problem was that she was ill and did not even go to university. What good was a daughter-in-law like her? She would be an embarrassment to their family.

Only a socialite from a noble family was worthy of becoming the Fraser family’s daughter-in-law.

A girl with unknown origins would never be worthy of her son.

But her son spoiled this girl to bits. It was fine if he took care of her for just a while when she was little, or perhaps treated her like a pet just for his amusement.

However, it looked like her son had completely rejected the idea of marriage.

The knot that had formed in Mrs. Fraser’s chest due to all her pent-up frustrations was so tight she found it hard to breathe at times.

Whenever she looked at Charlotte, she saw a pile of s***. She could not understand why her son treated her like some kind of precious jewel.

If the girl were healthy and well educated, she could probably accept her as her daughter-in-law.

Nevertheless, the girl was nothing to her dismay.

So no way!

Both of them must be separated at all costs.

As long as this little b**** stays, it’ll be impossible for my son to marry a daughter from a socialite family.

She must be sent away.

“Mom, I’m attending Charlotte’s rehearsal tomorrow. She’s participating in the National Day Gala Night held by the government. Tomorrow is her first day of rehearsal and it’s very important. I have to go with her.” Lochlan immediately rejected his mother.

Mrs. Fraser was livid. “She’s not a child anymore. Why don’t you accompany Ms. Warhol tomorrow, and I’ll accompany Lottie to the rehearsal.”

Charlotte’s chest constricted with panic and she subconsciously gripped the edge of Lochlan’s shirt.

Mrs. Fraser became more infuriated when she noticed this minute detail. “I’m not a monster that’s going to eat her up.”

“Mom… Lottie trusts me more.” Lochlan stated in a decisive tone, “You should get someone else to accompany Ms. Warhol.”

When Charlotte saw that the mother and son were about to quarrel again, she bit down hard on her lower lip.

She did not want her uncle to quarrel with his mother because of her.

She was a little bit scared and looked at Lochlan with a hint of reluctance in her eyes as she whispered, “I… I can go alone. Ms. Berry will be there.”

The way she stammered in a timid voice only sounded petty to Mrs. Fraser’s eyes.

She could hardly pass off as a normal person to her!

Mrs. Fraser looked down on Charlotte even more than before. “Since Lottie is so sensible, you should go out with Ms. Warhol tomorrow and I’ll accompany Lottie to the rehearsal. Everything’s settled then!”

With that, she turned around with a stubborn tilt to her head and left.

Lochlan tipped up Charlotte’s chin with heartache lining his features. “You shouldn’t have said that, idiot.”

“I don’t want you to quarrel with Mrs. Fraser,” Charlotte whispered. Although she was sad that her Uncle Lochlan would be accompanying some other woman, she knew that she shouldn’t stand in the way of his marriage.

She forced a smile onto her face. “Let’s go now. We don’t want to keep Ms. Berry waiting.”

In the suburbs.

Lochlan and Charlotte were both startled when a tall man emerged from the Bentley.

Charlotte instinctively shifted to hide behind Lochlan.

It’s…

It’s that scary man.

The man’s powerful aura and frosty look were deeply embedded in Charlotte’s mind, so she immediately tensed up upon seeing him.

She was naturally a faint-hearted person.

Lochlan patted her hand to comfort and reassure her, “There’s nothing to be scared of.”

He greeted Lucas next. “Mr. Nolan, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“The pleasure’s mine,” Lucas nodded lightly.

Then, he reached a hand into the car, but it was slapped away by Ashlyn who snapped at it, “I can get out of the car myself.”

Lucas had a helpless look on his face.

Is this woman for real? The moment we’re out of Grandma’s sight, she treats me worse than crap.

Lochlan was slightly baffled.

What is an egoistic man such as Mr. Nolan doing with Ms. Berry?
