Looking at Charlotte who was dressed in outdated professional clothes that went beyond her age, ine was surprised, but at the same time, she was secretly delighted.


    By the looks of it, Charlotte was having a hard time in the past few years.


    “Lottie, where have you been all these years? I’ve been so worried!” ine recovered from her shock and asked with feigned concern.


    Charlotte did not expect to meet ine this soon. She thought that she would only be meeting her at the banquet.


    However, when she noticed that ine’s acting skills were still the same as before, Charlotte’s lips curled up into a mocking smirk.


    “Long time no see, ine, but your acting skills are still on point. I’m so sorry. I don’t have the money to tip you.”


    There was a hint of hatred in Charlotte’s eyes. The tone of her voice was no longer as weak as it used to be.


    This invoked a sense of fear in ine’s heart. However, she quickly went back to her previous demeanor and resumed to persuade Charlotte ‘earnestly’.


    “I know you hate me, but you should think about your father. He’s been worried about you for all these years. He’s also aged a lot.”


    “Since you are back,e home with me.”


    As she spoke, ine took a step forward to grab Charlotte’s hand. However, Charlotte evaded her grasp.


    “Home? Father? I’m sorry, I have no rtive here in this prosperous metropolis.”


    As Charlotte said the words “home” and “father”, she felt disgusted. Her gaze turned ice-cold and sharp.


    Seeing this look, ine was bbergasted. She stopped trying to pull Charlotte. She could only watch as Charlotte left.


    ine didn’te to her senses until she saw Charlotte getting into a bus.


    At this time, her cell phone rang.


    The call was from her younger sister, Yuliana.


    “Hello?”


    “Sister, why aren’t you here yet?”


    “Oh, almost there.”


    After hanging up the phone, ine did not stay any longer. She drove directly to the bar where she had an appointment with Yuliana.


    In the private room, Yuliana was already well into the fun and action. She smelled like booze. She was so drunk that she was leaning on a youngd, letting the man caress her body as he pleased.


    When ine saw this, she was so enraged that she immediately turned off the music and drove all the irrelevant people out. Only the two sisters remained.


    “ine, what are you doing?” Looking at ine who wore a dark expression, Yuliana sobered up.


    ine looked at Yuliana with a look of exasperation. She said angrily, “Look at you. You don’t look like the youngdy of a prestigious family at all.”


    Hearing her elder sister’s scolding, Yuliana pouted her petite mouth and retorted, “I’m not one anyway.”


    ine and Yuliana were originally born in a small and remote vige.


    At that time, in order to leave the countryside, ine studied hard and obtained the quota to go to the city to study. In the city, she had concealed her real background.


    Yuliana didn’t share her sister’s good luck. She had been living in the countryside until five years ago, when ine brought her to River City.


    Under ine’s management, Yuliana not only became a famous youngdy in River City, but she also became a beautiful anchor.


    The most crucial thing had been the fact that she was born on the same day as Charlotte. When Shane came looking for her with the jade ne, she had sessfully taken Charlotte’s ce.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Recalling the past, ine couldn’t help but sigh at how lucky Charlotte had been back then. She didn’t get eaten up by the man ine had arranged for her. Instead, Shane had been the one who had slept with her.


    “I’m telling you now, Charlotte is back. Be careful,” ine grumbled in a bad mood.


    ine couldn’t help but feel a little resentful when she thought of how fallen and miserable-looking Charlotte still dared to look at her with that kind of gaze. At the same time, ine also felt anxious.


    Although she had tried to test Charlotte just now by attempting to bring her home, she had been rejected. However, Charlotte was a member of Emerson family after all.


    If anyone from the Emerson family found out about Charlotte’s return, it would inevitably affect her ns.


    “What, she’s back?” Upon hearing the word ‘Charlotte’, Yulianapletely sobered up.


    She was only starting her extravagant lifestyle for a short while. If Charlotte was back, wouldn’t she need to get off the bandwagon straight away?


    “ine, what should we do?”


    “Look at you, a good-for-nothing.” Obviously, ine was moreposed in this.


    There was a hint of viciousness in her eyes. “Since I had the means to make her leave Emerson family for five years, I will naturally have a way to keep her from returning to the Emerson family forever.”
