"Charlotte, Charlotte, are you listening?" Shelly shook Charlotte gently, who was already lost in a deep thought.
Charlotte immediately snapped back to her senses, she had lost her manners repeatedly today, she might look suspicious if she just kept it that way, so she hastily answered, "I'm sorry, I was so shocked. It was just mind-exploding."
"Urgh, it was not just you! Mom and I are also shocked and can't even dream of it." Shelly was so angry that she pouted her mouth. She had set Joyce up and gotten herself kicked out of the car design project team. She couldn't bear it any more.
"Auntie, I wonder if there's anything the Heath family can do to help?" Charlotte volunteered to ask.
She thought that Jacqueline and Shelly were not just visiting her today to complain to her.
Jacqueline came and asked if Cecelia was here, so she must have something to ask.
"Ahem." Jacqueline saw Charlotte take the initiative and said directly, "You're on your own, and I have nothing to avoid. I'd like to ask the Heath family to step in and force a marriage."
"Forced marriage?" Charlotte thought she had misheard and repeated.
"Hey. You have no idea, after Stephanie's death, I had a hard time getting a lawyer to draft the divorce papers overnight. And I had specially rushed to the detention center to get Joyce's signature." Jacqueline said, feeling thirsty, so she drank a cup of tea.
Before Jacqueline even continued, she felt her heart hang in her throat, "And Joyce signed it?"
"Yes, Joyce signed it." Shelly said back.
Charlotte was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Jacqueline, "But Luther didn't sign it!"
