I Only Want You novel Chapter 144

Thinking of what James said just now, Charlotte knelt down in front of Elizabeth without thinking.

Elizabeth was frozen. She didn't expect Charlotte to really kneel down to her. To be honest, she hated her uncle's family. But when she faced Charlotte's behavior, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Before she did anything, James, who was next to her, sneered and said, "Is this all your family's sincerity?" As he said this, he glanced at Josephine.

Josephine was stunned by Charlotte's sudden kneel. And now when she received James's obvious glance, she immediately opened her eyes wide and cried exasperatedly, "Do you want me to kneel down to her? Impossible!"

Almost as soon as she finished her words, Charlotte grabbed her wrist and pulled her down. "Josephine, think about your father!"

"..." Hearing this, Josephine felt so upset that she wants to cry. She couldn't say anything.

For Dad's sake...

Josephine resigned to her fate and closed her eyes. The grievance, unwillingness, and helplessness in her heart made her want to shout and scold, but she couldn't.

Now, her family nearly lost everything. Her father was already so old...

"Josephine... I'm begging you... Your father has high blood pressure and heart disease. If he does get arrested, how long will he last in jail?"

Josephine felt sad in her heart. She gritted her teeth and was pulled to kneel by Charlotte.

Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She turned around and wanted to ask James to stop. But James seemed to be proficient in mindreading. He said before she spoke, "They bullied you again and again." He smiled gently at her, "You deserve their apology, understand?"

Hearing that, Elizabeth looked at his smiling face and the black circles under his eyes. She pursed her lips and finally just nodded to agree with him.

He had put in so much effort, which was all because of her! As for what Charlotte and Josephine were doing now, actually she felt a little uncomfortable. In her personal opinion, he had gone a little too far. But didn't he do everything just for her?

He did everything in order to let her know that she was not alone. There was someone who still cared about her and was always there to protect her. He also made those who had bullied her understand that she wasn't easy to bully.

"Elizabeth..." Charlotte clenched her fist. "Could you help your uncle?"

"We... We were very bad to you before. But I hope you can forget about it... Your uncle is old. He's not well either. He can't take this kind of torture!"

Elizabeth frowned and looked at the custom-made carpet in front of her, which looked like it had been changed not long ago. No one knew what she was thinking about.

"Now we know we were wrong... Now, we kneel down to apologize to you. Could you... could you help us beg Mr. Lu? Now that you've got what you want. I'm begging you, please show us some mercy, okay?"

Hearing this, Elizabeth just wanted to laugh.

In fact, she really laughed. But the smile was full of sarcasm. Originally, she felt somewhat apologetic when she and Josephine knelt down. But now she only felt discontent.

Charlotte looked at Elizabeth like this and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Forget it? What I want? Show some mercy?" Elizabeth felt like she was about to explode with anger, "I really can't accept what you said."

She thought for a moment and continued to say, "Yes, I do want Liang Company and Liang estate. But it's not like what you mean. You make it sound like I'm the one who snatched your things. Shouldn't those things belong to me? Remember, you're the one who framed me to get these things. I'm just going to get them back now. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"Now, I clearly tell you that I will never forget what you have done to me. As for showing you some mercy, that's not what I can do. If you didn't do what you shouldn't do, would Liang Company go bankrupt? Would Uncle be arrested? So, it's all your own fault, and you can't blame others."

"Besides," Elizabeth took a deep breath, "You have to take responsibility for what you have done. I think I can't help you because August broke the law. I don't want to do that, so I won't plead with James on behalf of you to add his troubles. As for this, I also hope that you..." She looked at Charlotte and Josephine coldly, "You can forget it in the future."

Samuel had always thought that Elizabeth was that kind of person who was like a delicate little sheep, but she was instantly shocked by her words. She was indeed spending a lot of time with his president. Under her perfect appearance, there was a strong and smart heart.

James, who had been looking at his watch, couldn't help but smile. He was satisfied. This was supposed to be the style of the real Liang Company's successor.

"You..." Charlotte's face turned pale, and she knelt there stiffly, not knowing what to say.
