Chapter 5 You Are Nothing But a Wild Dog Raised by the Archer Family

It seemed that Caroline and her mother didn't expect me to wake up. Although the light of the floor-to-ceiling lamp was dim, I could tell that the looks on their faces were not good.

Caroline's mother put on a fake smile and asked me, "Charlotte, how is your injury? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

If it were in the past, I would have been moved. But now I was indifferent.

Seeing my indifferent expression, Caroline, who certainly knew that I had heard all their conversation, interrupted her mother directly. "Mom, you don't have to act anymore. Judging from her tone, she, a wild dog, knows what's going on."

"A wild dog."

Hearing Caroline call me a wild dog so smoothly, I knew that they must have nicknamed me like this early.

"A wild dog?" I endured the pain, walked to the empty sofa, and sat down. Then I deliberately said, "Even so, I am a wild dog who has 4% shares."

Sure enough, as soon as I said that, Caroline's mother understood what I meant. She scolded, "Charlotte, my family has been raising you for three years. You should have fulfilled your filial piety to us with those shares!"

I just sat there. Thinking that they had schemed against me for such a small amount of shares, I found them ridiculous and couldn't help laughing.

My mother asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Oh, no, it was not appropriate for me to call her "mother" now.

The name of Caroline's mother was Gina Frost. And Caroline's father's original name was Jeremy Archer.

Staring at Gina, I stopped laughing and said, "In fact, if the matter today hadn't happened, I would have thought more highly of the family affection than anything else. If you asked me for them, I surely would give them to you without saying anything. But, after what happened today, everything will be different."

They thought I was the same as them, who valued nothing but benefits and gains.

What they didn't know was that I valued the family affection the most.

But now, everything was gone.

Gina didn't expect me to say so as she said, "You..."

Hearing this, Caroline pulled Gina's hand and said, "Mom, you can go up now. I'll talk to her."

I probably guessed what Caroline was going to tell me, which would be all useless things.

......

After Gina went up, Caroline sat down next to me intimately and said with a smile, "Charlotte, it's my parents who figured out this idea. At first, I didn't agree..."

I had come to my senses tonight. So it was impossible for me to be tricked by her again.

Even so, as Caroline pulled my hand and said something against her will, I didn't interrupt her.

Thinking that it was almost time, I got up and walked to the door.

Seeing that I insisted on leaving, Caroline was finally impatient. She pulled me directly and scolded, "Charlotte Archer, you are a dog raised by my family. We have supported your life materially. Don't be so ungrateful!"

This was who Caroline really was.

I turned around and looked at Caroline's detestable face as I said in a light voice, "I wish that I could show Patrick what you look like right now."

Caroline acted like she had nothing to lose, "Hehe, you won't have the chance anymore! Patrick Cowell is my husband. And you are nothing!"

Looking at her, I suddenly felt that she didn't match Patrick at all.

Patrick Cowell, who was such an excellent man, would suffer great losses if he married Caroline.

I, who probably had been possessed, said, "I have to tell you something. I pressed my fingerprints on the wedding agreement. With a word from me, the agreement will be nothing but a stack of wasted paper."

Caroline was a little surprised.

Before she could speak, I continued, "So you and Patrick are not a couple yet. We are doing a fair competition."

After that, when she let go of my hand in a daze, I quickly turned around and left.

Enduring the pain, I ran out desperately and ignored Caroline who was cursing behind me, saying that I was a shameless b*tch. Even so, I didn't turn back.

    After leaving the Archer Family, I, who had nowhere to go, could only call Lisa Harper, my best friend. It turned out that Lisa's phone was turned off. Lisa Harper and I were classmates in the orphanage. She was two years older than me, who was supported by a kind-hearted boss. After graduating from high school, because of her appearance and temperament, she studied in the Academy of Aviation. After graduation, she directly became an air stewardess. In fact, at university, I was also supported by a kind person. It was just that I had never seen him in person. The fact that Lisa's mobile phone had been turned off indicated that she was working. Walking on the street in a daze, soon, I saw a sign of a shop at the corner of the street which was still lit up. Walking to the front of it, I found out that it was a bar. Alright. It happened that I was in need of a drink. It was the first time I had visited a bar, which was different from what I

    Hearing my words, Patrick looked disgustful. However, stopped cupping my neck, he held my chin as he observed me with his black eyes as if he wanted to see through me. It was so terribly quiet that there was only the smell of alcohol in the air. After a long while, he sneered, "What do you want?" At this time, I naively thought that he had been convinced by me. Then I said, "I pressed my fingerprint on the wedding agreement. As long as you don't sign a new agreement with her, I will be yours." Patrick pushed me away and sat back in the driver's seat without saying anything. However, after he drove all the way home, he threw me into a bathtub which was filled with icy water, pulled my hair, and said to me, "Do you think I will believe what you said? A woman like you is at most a b*tch around me." At that moment, I came to my senses, thinking that Patrick, who loathed me so much, surely wouldn't be convinced by me. I struggled in the water. But h

    Fortunately, Lisa caught the cell phone for me. Staring at the string of number "9" on the screen, she guessed it right at once, "Patrick Cowell?" I nodded silently. The ringtone continued playing. Seeing that I didn't intend to pick the call up, Lisa said directly, "I'll pick it up for you." After that, she went to press the answer button. Seeing her move, I was so scared that I immediately grabbed the phone from her and put it beside my ear as I said in a trembling voice, "Hello." "Where are you?" The man's impatient voice soon came from over the phone. With a quiver in my heart, I looked at Lisa and said, "I am in my... friend's place." "Come home in an hour." After saying that, Patrick hung up the phone without giving me any chance to refute. His words were like an imperial edict. Although Lisa kept telling me I shouldn't do as he said, I dared not do so. In the end, she helped me put on very seductive makeup as she

    "Mr. Cowell, it is you who are fooling me, okay?" I took the agreement in front of me in my hand and stood up without showing any sign of weakness. Then I pointed at the clause. After that, I threw the agreement onto Patrick and turned to leave. I dared not look back. I am afraid that if I stayed here for one more second, I couldn't pretend any longer and I would show my embarrassment in front of him. I walked quickly all the way to the gate of the residential quarter. Looking at the luxurious gate behind me and thinking back on my naive thoughts before, I found myself sad as well as ridiculous. Patrick Cowell was the boss of the Towering High Group, who surely wouldn't fall in love with a woman after a one-night stand. He wouldn't do so even if I shared the same face as the girl he liked. (To be continued) I moved into Lisa's house and started my life again. After I graduated from college, I, who majored in interior design, found a

    With the incident in my childhood that Patrick had no money and couldn't be rescued on my mind, I had no choice but to go to the hospital with the 911 team. After arriving at the hospital, I helped Caroline to pay the medicine fee and was about to leave. When I arrived at the door, I was stopped by a policeman. The couple on the third floor was standing behind him. The hostess pointed at me and said firmly, "It's her. It's she who pushed the girl down." The policeman nodded and said to me in a business-like tone, "Hello, please come with us." Although I was reluctant, I also knew that even if I didn't go to the police station today, I would have to go there tomorrow. On the way to the police station, the couple on the third floor went with me and the hostess said to the police, "I heard them quarrel so fiercely. Later, I heard someone shouting for help. And then the girl rolled down." Lisa lived on the fourth floor. When I moved there, she told

    By the time I woke up again, I was in a single ward. There was only a woman in her fifties in the room. I could tell at a glance that she was a servant of my grandma, Rosy Archer.  I said weakly, "Olena..."  Olena looked back and saw that I was awake. She said nervously, "Lie down and don't move. I will call the doctor first." As she said that, she rushed out of the ward. I observed the ward. Based on the style of the decoration, it should be the Holy Spirit Hospital. "But why am I here? Why is Olena taking care of me?" I was full of doubts and didn't know whom I should ask. Soon, Olena came in with a doctor. The doctor had an examination of me, saying that I was exhausted and had hypoglycemia and that I just needed to have some nutrition at home before I would be fine. I thanked the doctor. Only after he went out did I ask Olena what had happened. Olena told me the general situation. After I fainted, Patrick sent me here and reveal

    As there was hope rising in my heart, Rosy said, "I asked her to come here." Her voice sounded unhurried. And others couldn't tell what her purpose was. But I stole a glance at Jeremy. And there seemed to be a layer of sweat on his forehead. The four of us entered the room. Rosy took me to sit on a two-seat sofa. While Jeremy and Gina sat on the opposite side. And Olena began to pour tea for us. Rosy took my hand and went straight to the point, "Diane has told me everything about the wedding." At this time, Jeremy broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. He stood up, pointed at Diane, and scolded, "You are an ungrateful b*tch! Were you bribed by Charlotte?" As he spoke, he picked up the glass on the table and smashed it directly on Diane! Diane, who couldn't dodge him in time, was smashed with a cup of hot tea. And the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces! "It's enough!" Rosy shouted loudly and said to Diane, "Diane, go in and get

    After hearing Rosy's story, Jeremy was still unwilling to let go as he said, "Charlotte is well-known for her lack of manners. If she marries Patrick, it will only bring shame to the Archer Family!" In the end, he added, "I will never agree to such absurd things!" Yes, it was indeed absurd. How come there would be a new bribe after the wedding ceremony? And if it was spread out, wouldn't it make the Cowell Family and the Archer Family become the laughing stock of City Y? I spoke out my thoughts. Gina had been cold to me before. But now she treated me nicely as she said, "Caroline is still sensible." Seeing that I was reluctant, Rosy said to me, "Charlotte, go and see if Diane was hurt just now." I knew that she was making an excuse to drive me away. When I was hesitating, Olena came over and invited me to the servants' rooms. The servants' room was not far from the living room. Although I went in, I leaned against the door and listened to their

    After the wedding, our honeymoon plan was postponed because Rosalie was too young and Patrick's legs had not yet fully recovered. I had been resting at home all along. Sometimes I would talk to Nancy about my work. It was March with spring blossoms when Rosalie was 100 days old. Early in the morning, Patrick went out as usual, and I saw him off at the door. He held my face, kissed my forehead gently, and said softly, "Pack your daily necessities this morning. We'll go to our new home this afternoon." "New home? Where is it? Why didn't you mention it before?" I was stunned. I hadn't heard anything about the new home from Patrick so far. He looked mysterious and tidied up the messy hair on my face. "You will know when we arrive in the afternoon." After that, without waiting for me to ask more questions, he glanced at his watch and hurried out. "A new home?" I thought about it carefully. After getting married to Patrick, I

    Patrick and I held a wedding when Rosalie was 100 days old. Although he wanted to hold a grand banquet, I refused to do so. Mostly, I was too old to care about the formalities anymore. But I understood that it was Patrick's heart for me, and I did not refuse to hold the wedding. We just needed to call some good friends and have a Simple banquet. Patrick couldn't convince me, so he naturally agreed. In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day. Shirley sent me the wedding dress. Because it was a mini wedding, only seven or eight tables were available. Most of the guests came from my studio and Towering High Company. Everyone was familiar with each other. In order to solve the marriage problem of the older single women in my studio, Nancy and I also made a special effort on the seating row. We specifically put single men and women of marriageable age at one table, expecting them to develop their relationship. Early

    Listening to Shirley's words, I truly felt lucky for Shelton. Fortunately, he returned. Fortunately, he returned to Shirley's side. Back to the person who loved him. Michael Blake was hired as defense counsel in Shelton's case. I went to find Patrick and asked him about the case. He told me Shelton had locked Emily up for a while, but he soon let her go. But after that, Emily asked Shelton for money. Shelton gave her some. After Emily spent all the money, she was desperate and went to the police. She wanted to use this method to force Shelton to give her money. When I heard Patrick's words, I thought that Emily was too naïve. If this were true, then someone might help her. But it was she who exposed the video in the first place, and everyone knew that. She had made the choice. Now everything she said just made it worse. Emily had no money, so she could only find the assigned lawyer to file the lawsuit. In the first

    She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years. She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?" "The operation was successful." Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad. Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good." Then she turned around and was about to leave. Patrick said, "Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you." "I blame myself for being stupid." Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?" She didn't go on but left with her head down. I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?" "Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to

    Patrick's words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Roger's heart. Roger stood there. Although he looked calm, he lost all his momentum. At this moment, the ambulance arrived. Although Dulcie was angry and hard to accept it, she could tell what was more important. She opened the door and let the doctor in. The doctor examined Ned first, and then quickly carried him into the ambulance. Because of the small space in the ambulance, only two people were allowed to accompany Ned. Sheridan and Melissa got in. Once they left, it was just me, Patrick, Dulcie, and Roger left in the room. "I'll ask the driver to drive the car over." Patrick took out his phone and called the driver. Then I supported him to go out. Dulcie and Roger stood there without saying a word. Patrick did not talk to them either. He went out with me and got in the car. We decided to order the servants to take care of Glenn first. We cal

    Hearing his words, Sheridan looked gloomy on the side. Patrick held me in his arms, "You seem to care about the affairs of the Cowell Family so much. Each time we have some disputes, you will help us enthusiastically. Now you are making a move on my aunt, aren't you?" "No." After finishing his words, Roger imitated Patrick and held Dulcie in his arms, saying, "Dulcie and I love each other sincerely." ...... I looked gloomy. It wasn't that I didn't believe in December Romance. However, the age gap between them was so large. As Patrick's aunt, Dulcie was quite good-looking. It was just that she, who was old, had encountered too many unpleasant things in the past few years, making her meaner and harsher. As for Roger by her side... From all aspects, every woman lusted for him. He, who wasn't poor, surely could get whatever woman he wanted with ease. Indeed, in every way, there was no way that he would take a fancy to Dulcie.

    "All right." I nodded. I would marry Patrick soon. Because of the things taking place in the past, the Cowell Family didn't have a good impression of me. If I arrived there late because of getting changed this time, it wouldn't be worth it. Holding Patrick's hand, I went downstairs with him. Coming out early, we didn't see many cars on the road. When we arrived at the Cowell Family's mansion, it was exactly 6:30 p.m. By the time we went in, it had been quite lively inside the house. Sheridan, Melissa, and Ned were all surrounding Glenn. Glenn, a six-year-old child, was smart and flexible. Whatever others asked him, he would respond like an adult. Upon seeing us, the three of us looked at me. Ned straightened up first and said with a smile on his face, "You're here." "Yes. Hello, Grandpa Cowell." After greeting Ned, I said to Sheridan and Melissa, "Hello, Mr. Sheridan. Hello, Mrs. Melissa." Now, the relationsh

Cupping my face with his hands, he looked as if he were waiting for me to show my mercy. Frowning, i didn't know what to do for a while. What's more, unlike Patrick's office where there was a lounge, my office was a small one with a sofa only. Moreover, the setup was later divided. It wasn't quite soundproof. Once, Nancy made a phone call to argue with a construction company in her office. I heard all that she had said clearly in my office... Thinking of this, I shook my head heavily. Seeing his distressed look, I tentatively asked, "Shall we go upstairs?" Upon finishing my words, I felt that my suggestion wasn't quite plausible. At this time, Patrick was on the verge of ejecting. His private part was bulging. On the way out, we would pass by the open office... Everyone would be watching us.

    "Why did you... come here?" Standing up in a hurry, I helped Patrick into the office. While walking in, he closed the door handily. Looking up at the closed door, I knew that he should be here for what had happened just now. Even if he wouldn't take the initiative to come here, I would ask him about it. I helped Patrick seated on the sofa. Sitting up, he looked at me and said, "What do you want to know? Go ahead." Sure enough, he knew me. Sitting opposite him and looking at him, I thought for a moment before asking, "What happened? What did Kelsi do?" "Ever since she left last time, per my order, Louis had been keeping an eye on everything about her, including the ones she contacted. As expected, she dealt with the ones who smuggled guns and bribed a murderer, asking him to kill someone." Patrick didn't state who Kelsi had wanted to kill explicitly. Even so, I knew that it was me. I looked at Patrick, asking, "What did you do?
