Chapter 168

Charlotte wondered, "Grandma, what do you mean?"

"Unfortunately, your nature is nothing like Cecelia’s. I can see that you

want to get my approval very much, and have taken the trouble to

dress up today. You wear no makeup, but with all those luxurious

pieces, it can be seen that you want to show your purity. You must be

unwilling to give up the extravagant life you have. You are quite a

complicated person after all. If the person sitting here today is Cecelia,

she will certainly not dress up like you do. Simplicity won't hide your

nobility, and luxury can also be low-key." Stephanie hit the nail on the

head to point that out and she looked a bit disdainful.

Different emotions showed up on Charlotte's face. Her long diamond

tassel earrings shook slightly, and at the moment hit her face. It was

cold.

"I..." Talkative as she was, at this moment she actually did not know

how to explain.

"Although you grew up in an orphanage and did not have a good

education in manners. But it is all about principles. Now you have

wealth and power, you should look at it all the more lightly and should

not pay too much attention to them." Stephanie bowed her head and

smiled. She could not see whether it was a cold smile or a sarcastic

one.

"Grandma is right. I will pay attention.”

Charlotte just had to admit it. She felt humiliated by Stephanie, who

pointed out bluntly that she had come from a humble background and

couldn't shed the pettiness in her. The unconcealed sharpness of her

words made her lose face.

No matter how much she hated it, there was nothing that could be

done.

In order to cover up her discomfort, she hurriedly made another cup of

tea and respectfully served it to Stephanie.

It's just that, in order to successfully marry into the Warner family, there

was nothing wrong with being embarrassed by Stephanie, and she was

prepared for it before.

"You love Luther very much?" asked Stephanie, picking up her cup of

tea and taking a sip.

"Grandma, I really love him. Grandma, please allow us to get married.”

Charlotte replied sincerely.

This was true. She wanted to marry Luther. She could not wait and she

was almost crazy about it.

Stephanie glanced at the sequined high heels Charlotte was wearing

on her feet and frowned.

She shook her head, dissatisfied, "I don't think so. If you really love

him, you should take extra care of the child in your belly. Such a high

heel is not quite appropriate.”

Charlotte was shocked. She never thought about that after all the long

time.

Because it was not Luther's child in the first place, she didn't even care.

She should have worn flat shoes instead.

At the moment Stephanie's dark eyes were glaring at her sternly.

The sophisticated black eyes were just like an endless void. Being

stared at by such eyes, Charlotte only felt a chill down her spine, and

sweats were all over her back.

She did not know what to say for a while, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I ... I

was too nervous today. I'm afraid you're not satisfied with me, so ...

sorry, I neglected it. I didn't notice, and I really won't do such a thing in

the future.”

At this point, Charlotte really felt Stephanie's difficult to deal with. The

prohibitive majesty of hers really made her like an empress. She felt

that she was full of loopholes today, and in front of Stephanie she was

getting nowhere to hide.

"Heh. You don't have to be nervous, I was just saying that." Stephanie

straightened her posture and asked again, "I heard that you and Joyce

are the same age?"

"Yes." Charlotte replied. She didn't understand why Stephanie always

had to bring up Joyce.

"Oh, it's quite a coincidence that you both grew up in the same

orphanage, are the same age, and are both with Luther ... I learned

that for the first time today.” Stephanie let out a low laugh. She

suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong...
