"What are you saying? How could Charlotte target Mango? Are you sure about it?"
Walter was completely befuddled right now.
He could not think of a plausible reason why a university student like Charlotte would go against Mango. Furthermore, how did she know about Mango?
When Nathaniel saw Walter's confusion, Nathaniel could tell that the latter had no idea about it, or perhaps he did not know about Charlotte's true colours. Then, he immediately frowned at the thought of this.
"Do you still remember Novalee Zhang?"
It had been so long since she passed away, but Nathaniel suddenly mentioned her. Thus, Walter immediately tensed up when he heard her name.
Although she had already passed away, her name had hit a sore spot in Walter's heart.
"Are you trying to remind me that I can't let Charlotte turn into a person like Novalee?"
"I'm glad that you understand this situation. After all, there are some things I don't want to say directly. I'm here to tell you that I want Charlotte to pay the price for everything that she has done to Mango. If she still doesn't learn her lesson, then don't blame me for being merciless."
After saying that, Nathaniel stood up and left.
When he left the room, Walter said, "I am not familiar with her. You can do what you want, and you don't have to tell me about it. I will not stand up for such unimportant people like her."
"That's good to hearthen."
After that, Nathaniel left. Meanwhile, Walter furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure.
He had only helped Charlotte because the latter had been facing some hardships in her life. Who would have thought that this would cause trouble for Mango instead?
At this thought, Walter quickly called his assistant.
"Help me find out how Charlotte and Mango met. I need detailed information, so send it to my phone immediately."
"Okay, Mr. Song."
After hanging up the phone, Deborah returned and brought Walter some food.
Walter frowned nervously when he saw her arriving suddenly.
"What's wrong? Why did Mr. Ye come here?"
Deborah replaced the flowers in the vase with the new flowers that she bought for Walter while asking this.
"It's already late at night. So, why are you replacing the flowers?"
Walter felt that she was doing something useless.
Deborah said with a smile, "Don't you feel much better when you see such beautiful flowers?"
"I don't think so! Also, I'm allergic to pollen."
"Bullsh*t! If you're really allergic to pollen, you would've been suffering from an allergic reaction right now because these flowers have been here for a day. If you don't want to talk about why Mr. Ye is here, don't say anything. Besides, I never wanted to find out anyway!"
Deborah snorted and went to tidy up her stuff.
Walter looked at her and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Charlotte?"
"Charlotte? That poor student?"
Walter frowned slightly when she heard Deborah's sarcastic tone.
"Can you stop calling her names? Besides, she was born in a poor family, so she can't help it!"
"She's poor and shameless, and she tried to deceive others by using her poverty as an excuse.
Bleh! That's why I look down on her."
Walter realized something after hearing what Deborah had said.
"Wait a minute. What do you mean by that? Do you know something?"
"Of course I do! Charlotte hooked up with quite a few rich people so that they would sponsor her tuition fees. After all, she could deceive gullible men easily with her pitiful appearances. I have seen many students with poor family backgrounds. They can still pay for their own tuition fees and living expenses, even though they attend classes in the daytime and work at night. But why can't she do that? She isn't that busy because she's only a college student. So, why does she have to ask others to support her? Besides, she's not in her sixties, so she can live independently, right? Perhaps she's attracted to you because you're young and handsome. Oh, well, perhaps you were the one who gave her too much hope!"
Walter felt that Deborah's words were unpleasant to her.
"What do you mean? I didn't give her any hope! Heck! I'm not that familiar with her at all."
"Come on now, if you don't know her well, then why did the doctor contact her after you have an
accident?"
Deborah complained jealously.
Then, Walter's gaze suddenly darkened after hearing this.
After all, this car crash was merely an accident. On the other hand, he gave her his phone number to contact her before he sent her donations. Other than that, he was not close to Charlotte at all.
Now that he heard what Deborah had said, Walter was especially uncomfortable to know that Charlotte had learnt about his car accident quickly. After all, he felt as if she was stalking him, and she wasn't giving him any privacy at all.
How did he get himself into this mess?
He frowned with a puzzled expression on his face.
Deborah sighed when she saw his expression, "Alright, don't look so upset. After all, Charlotte won't dare to cause any trouble because I'm here. Don't worry."
"Well, she didn't do anything to me. However, she's stirring up trouble for Mango instead!"
"Ah? What did she do to your cousin?"
Deborah was a little confused.
Walter was not sure as well. However, it seemed that Nathaniel was plotting something against Charlotte.
Soon, he received some information about Charlotte from his assistant. In the file, there was a list of names of people who had sponsored her studies.
Walter was shocked when he saw it.
