Chapter 156 Scam Call
Vivian pondered for a moment, "... probably."
Andrew suddenly stood up, and his eyes ignited a raging, intimidating, and frightening fire.
Vivian frowned slightly, sighed, and whispered, "Actually, we can't blame Char. Mr. Clark is the best choice for her."
Andrew pressed his lips together, and his usually cheerful and handsome face darkened.
Vivian glanced at the mineral water bottle he almost crushed in his grip, her lips forming a slight smile. Andrew wasn't a saint, and this unrequited love would breed resentment in him.
It would have been easier to bear if Charlotte had broken up with Andrew due to relationship problems. But unfortunately, it was because she admired power, and she ended up with Andrew's uncle.
For Andrew, Nelson was like an insurmountable mountain, a symbol of strength since childhood. The combination of male pride and Andrew's obsession with Charlotte would undoubtedly make him hate Charlotte madly and try to sabotage Charlotte's relationship with Nelson. Charlotte would undoubtedly end up in misery...
Vivian thought Andrew was a subtle weapon, much more useful than Rhona, who was merely a brainless waste born into a wealthy family.
"Andrew." Like a caring older sister, Vivian gently said, "Just let go of your feelings for Char."
Andrew didn't say anything, his lips tightly pursed.
Vivian had said what needed to be said; she understood that it was meaningless to stay any longer, so she quietly left. She didn't see the young boy standing alone on the basketball court, fiercely squeezing the mineral water bottle in his hand until it burst. Water dripped onto the ground, but it felt as if something else was flowing away. His gaze was deep.
If you leave me because of power...
Will you return to me when I become more powerful and wealthy than my uncle?
...
In the afternoon, Charlotte received a call from an unfamiliar number with a local Seyso area code. After thinking for a moment, she answered, and a strange woman's voice came from the other end, "Hello!"
It was a scam call!
Charlotte quickly said, "I don't have any savings or credit cards. I don't need a Mac or an iPhone!"
The woman remained silent momentarily and said, "Miss, I am Arthur's mother, Hazel Campbell."
Charlotte was taken aback. Arthur?
Wasn't he the original owner of Magnolia?
Thinking back to her previous foolish remarks, Charlotte's cheeks turned red, and she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I thought it was a scam call because it was an unfamiliar number..." She paused, "But Arthur told me that his mother had passed away..."
And he mentioned that his stepmother treated him poorly and so on.
Hazel felt slightly embarrassed as she explained, "I am his stepmother... When his biological mother suddenly passed away, he strongly disliked me. I'm allergic to dog hair, and we can't keep dogs at home, which made him hate me even more..."
Charlotte was startled. So that was the case?
Hazel continued, "But I can see that Arthur misses that dog. Could you bring the dog to our house sometime so Arthur can see it?"
Charlotte asked, "Aren't you allergic to dog hair?"
Hazel sighed, "... It shouldn't be a problem if it's not for a long time. The loss of his mother has hit Arthur hard. I'll just Let him see the dog."
