Chapter 108
"I''m going home for a bit. Please postpone today''s meeting by half an hour." Timothy picked up the
suit jacket hanging on the rack and left the office in a hurry.
At Emerson family house, ine ced her hand on a man''s waist and walked into the empty vi
with a smile on her face.
"There''s really no one here."
The man felt at ease instantly and kissed a coquettish ine in his arms. He heard herugh in
satisfaction.
"Would I lie to you?" ine pretended to punch him angrily, but not very forcefully. She continued,
"Don''t you trust me?"
"Of course I do."
The man tightened his arm around ine. He raised the corner of his mouth handsomely and said,
"Baby, I''ve always trusted you."
"That''s more like it."
Satisfied, ine broke away from the man''s hold, walked around the vast living room, and then sat
down on a leather sofa.
"This will be mine in the future. What do you think?"
"Very nice, but are you sure that the old guy, Timothy, won''t suddenlye back?" The man was
still a little worried as he looked around.
ine stared at him with her beautiful eyes. Her face, which was covered with a thick and heavy
white foundation, looked a little unnatural. In the end, she snorted.
"He would have told me if he''sing back. Don''t worry, he won''te back."
After hearing ine''s promise, the man instantly became bold.
"Where''s our son? I haven''t seen him in a while."
"Alistair has gone to school. Did you think that everyone is as ignorant and ipetent as you? But
I really feel a little sorry for Timothy. He''s even raising someone else''s son, haha."
ine''sughter gradually drifted into Timothy''s hearing, who had been hiding outside the door for
some time.
"You scandalous couple!"
Timothy clutched his cor tightly and thumped at his heart. His feet trembled as they moved.
"Ti... Timothy, listen to me."
ine suddenly turned around. When she saw the man standing at the door with his briefcase, she
instantly became worried and walked toward Timothy. As soon as her hand touched his arm, she
was thrown off by him ruthlessly.
"Get lost!"
Still exasperated, Timothy coughed violently.
"Timothy..."
The man who had been standing behind ine suddenly stood in front of her to protect her. He
arrogantly looked at Timothy before him and said word by word, "Old man, I''m not afraid to tell you
that Alistair is my child. Thanks for taking care and loving him for so many years.."
"You... you..."
Timothy pointed at the two of them standing side by side. Suddenly, he took a few steps backward
and tried to grasp at something with his weak hands. In the end, he only slid down the wall.
"Timothy?"
ine looked at Timothy, who was motionless on the ground, and walked over mechanically, trying
to reach out to him.
"He... he..."
As ine looked at the man on the ground, her legs turned weak. She continued, "What should we
do? What should we do?"
"Let''s take him to the hospital first."
The man put his hand gently on ine''s shoulder and said softly. There was a sh of shrewdness
in his eyes.
"Alright, you leave first. Leave the rest to me."
ine took a deep breath. This was the moment she had been waiting for. She had nned for a
long time for this day. She had not even hesitated in sacrificing her youth. Now, she had to calm
down.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
In order to avoid other people''s suspicions, ine quickly dialed the emergency hotline. It was only
after the ambnce arrived that ine pretended to cry fiercely.
"Doctor, save him quickly!"
"Please, I''m begging you."
ine clutched at the doctor''s sleeve with snot and tears on her face. She did not care about her
own image at all.
Outside the emergency room, ine looked at the light. A wicked smile slowly crept to her mouth,
forming a sharp contrast with the family members of past patients.
The hour- long rescue procedures didn''t manage to save Timothy''s life. As ine watched a white
cloth being pulled over the man, she didn''t feel afraid at all. She tiptoed toward him.
"Timothy, I was going to lie to you for the rest of your life, but since you decided to eavesdrop, I''ll
exin it to you clearly. Not that you have the chance to change anything."
ine suddenly took a step back and continued to say, "It doesn''t matter anymore whether Alistair
is your son or not. Everything belonging to thepany and the Emerson family will be mine. Oh
yes, I also have the will that you modified some time ago. I really don''t understand. You''ve already
disowned Charlotte. Why is she still getting an inheritance!"
At the mortuary, there was only the sound of ine''s chattering teeth, which made the atmosphere
very strange.
"It''s so cold here!" ine constantly rubbed her hands to get warm, but the smile on her face never
disappeared. She continued, "But it doesn''t matter. I''ve hidden that will of yours somewhere no one
will find it. Charlotte won''t be getting anything!"
After that, ine left without looking back.
Since Charlotte and Shane''s rtionship was still not public knowledge and due to ine
purposefully keeping it quiet, the news of Timothy''s death didn''t spread to Charlotte or anyone close
to her.
The luxury car looked very out of ce as it drove into a remote town. Although they couldn''t see
clearly the people who sat in it, the car drew the envious gazes of many people.
In the car, Charlotte had already woken up. When she found out from Cole who they were here to
see, Charlotte became very excited.
"Where is she?"
Charlotte asked anxiously.
Even if she still couldn''t find an answer, she wouldn''t be discouraged.
"Miss Charlotte, the house in front is the ce. ording to the investigation, that person who lives
there was an old servant of your father. You should be aware of that."
Cole looked at Charlotte and pointed at an ordinary two-story bungalow right in front of him.
Charlotte nodded nervously. She remembered that, many years ago, Ms. Coco had always treated
her like her own daughter.
Her memories from more than ten years ago had been unlocked...
"Miss Lottie, today, I made your favourite Coca-C chicken wings. Isn''t that great?" Charlotte, who
had just reached the side of the table, nodded her head forcefully. She lifted her small, delicate face
and let out a giggle.
"Ms. Coco is the best!"
After getting off the car, Charlotte frowned as she approached the small courtyard. The door to the
house was tightly shut.
"I''ll do it myself."
When she saw that Cole was about to press the doorbell, Charlotte immediately stopped him.
"Ding dong-Ding dong-1''
The doorbell suddenly rang out in the courtyard of the two-story house. Charlotte''s heart was
caught in her throat.
"Who is it?"
The door was suddenly opened, and a thick male voice came from inside. He looked at Shane and
Charlotte, who were obviously not typical visitors, standing outside, but she did not open the door
fully to them.
"Who are you looking for?"
There was a hint of ill will in his tone.
"Does Ms. Coco live here?" Charlotte asked.
Suddenly, she felt a burst of anticipation.
"Who''s looking for me?"
Charlotte instantly raised her head and looked at the room where the familiar voice wasing
from. Her eyes teared up.
"Ms... Ms. Coco."
Charlotte clenched her fists tightly and cried out in a trembling voice. She did not notice that
Shane''s demeanour had changed.
The woman who had just walked to the door of the living room immediately turned her back and
said slowly, "I''m sorry, you''ve mistaken me for someone else."
"I didn''t make a mistake, Ms. Coco. I''m Lottie, the girl you''ve been looking after since I was a child."
Charlotte shouted loudly, afraid that Ms. Coco wouldn''t be able to hear her.
"You can leave now. I''m not Ms. Coco. My name is Amanda."
The woman raised her head slightly, as if she was enduring something difficult.
