Chapter 121 I Must Take Part in This Project
Luke soon turned to look at Charlotte sternly, "Yes, it''s almost settled now. So what do you want to
do?"
"Can you please let me be in charge of this project?" Charlotte''s facial expression changed. She
said quickly.
If she was responsible for that project, she would be able to go to Lanyard Construction frequently.
Then, she could always have the chance to meet with Julian.
Recently, she was busy because of her family affairs. I t had been such a long time since she met
Julian.
She rather missed him.
"Are you going to take charge of that?" Luke looked at her. "You just want to take this chance to
meet with Julian! Charlotte, haven’t you given up hope on that? D o you want the entire Jenkins
family to be ruined just because you want to go and annoy Julian again?”
Luke sounded stern and serious.
Charlotte pursed her lips. She could not bring herself t o reconcile with that. She said, "Is it that
terrible? I just want to go and meet him! I won''t go and offend Susan again!"
When she mentioned about staying away from Susan, she was filled with utter unwillingness.
She never thought that she would have to be careful around a person like Susan one day.
She still could not believe that Julian was deeply in love with Susan.
Besides, she stubbornly believed that Julian did what he had done just because he was only
protecting Mrs. Shaw’s identity. He was not protecting Susan.
If she became Mrs. Shaw one day, the person who was protected by Julian would be her then.
Luke realized that Charlotte had not given up on Julian by looking at her facial expression.
Luke could not help but say coldly, "Charlotte, you''re a youngdy from a rich family. As your elder
brother, I need to help our parents to guide you. I have the responsibility to teach you how to be a
truedy. Julian is clearly uninterested in you. Yet, you still want to throw yourself at him
shamelessly. Don''t you feel humiliated? I''m ashamed of you. You don’t have t o worry about the
company’s affairs for the time being. Just stay home and be with mom from now on."
Charlotte''s facial expression changed drastically." Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you
trying to kick me out of thepanypletely?"
"I''m just asking you to rest at home temporarily,” Luke replied.
"I don''t need that." Charlotte used a piercing voice.
Madam Jenkins said, "Luke, Charlotte''s major is in business. Now that your dad is no longer here,
there''s even a homewrecker creating all kinds of messes in thepany. You really need
somebody there to help you. What about this? Let Charlotte go and give you a helping hand.”
"It''s considered the biggest help for me if she refrains from doing anything," Luke said calmly.
"Besides, mom, you smashed a lot of things recently. I ordered the servants to change all of the
chinaware at home to things that cost merely around ten dors. Then you can smash them all you
want without holding back."
Madam Jenkins''s facial expression changed slightly and inevitably.
“I still have work to deal with at the office. I''ll leave now," Luke said before he turned around and left.
"I’m going out shopping.” Mandy nced at both Madam Jenkins and Charlotte as she was clearly
enjoying their misfortunes. Then, she got up too.
Madam Jenkins could not help but re at Mandy sternly. "Mandy, what are you so smug about?
Did Luke ever nce at you since he came back just now?”
Suddenly, Mandy''s facial expression changed too.
Before their marriage, it was not an exaggeration to say that Mandy was on such good terms with
Madam Jenkins that they acted just like mother and daughter.
After their marriage, Madam Jenkins wanted to have control over her daughter-inw. However,
Mandy was not a timid and gentle person. Hence, Madam Jenkins had been at war with Mandy
ever since.
Recently, Luke always sided with Mandy, so Mandy became slightly smug about it.
But what Madam Jenkins said destroyed her every fantasy and hope.
It was because what Madam Jenkins said was true.
Luke neither nced at her nor spoke to her since he entered the room.
"Try to think about it. If you were Susan, would Luke b e so cold and aloof?" Madam Jenkins was
delighted when she saw the change in Mandy''s facial expression.
Previously, she was reluctant to talk about Susan when she mentioned Luke. But now she did not
mind talking about them since she could give a blow to Mandy.
Mandy''s facial expression indeed worsened. She sneered, "Mom, you''re indeed interesting. You
mentioned Susan a lot. Why don’t you ask her toe and be your daughter-inw? That''s
enough. I''m leaving." 1
Then, she ignored Madam Jenkins''s facial expression, grabbed her bag, and left.
Madam Jenkins was pissed off again. She could not help but p the table. "Charlotte, tell me, why
does no one respect me now?"
"My sister-inw acted like that because she''s spoiled by my brother." Charlotte pursed her lips.
"Mom, I''m o
n the same side as you. You must help me!"
"How do I help you?"
"I must take part in that project between the Jenkins Corporation and Lanyard Construction!"
Charlotte said immediately. "Then, I''ll be able to get in much contact with Julian. I''m confident that
he''ll fall in love with m e."
"Charlotte, Julian is such a difficult and mysterious man. Why don''t you forget about it..." Madam
Jenkins was slightly scared when she thought about Julian. She thought that it was best to give it
up.
"Mom!” Charlotte gritted her teeth and said firmly, "I only want Julian for the rest of my life. I''ll never
give him up. Moreover, you told me that Julian didn''t even hold a wedding ceremony for Susan. It’s
clear that he''s not sincerely in love with her. He''s just interested in her for a short while. When he
gets bored with her and sees my capabilities at work, he''ll definitely understand who is the best
choice for him!"
Madam Jenkins was slightly persuaded.
"Besides, mom, the problems we face now are because of Julian who is plotting against us secretly.
If I get to be with him, then all of our problems will be resolved. Isn’t that right?” Charlotte tried her
best to persuade her mother.
"What you said is reasonable." Madam Jenkins started to see it in a different light.
"Mom, you must help me." Charlotte Jenkins grabbed
Madam Jenkins'' hand.
Madam Jenkins patted the back of her hand. "Let me think about it."
At the Jenkins Corporation.
"Good. Our meeting ends here. I’ll be in charge of the project with Lanyard Construction. Later, I''ll
go there i n person and sign the contract with Chairman Shaw," Luke said.
The others stood up too.
Suddenly, a piercing voice was heard. "Chairman Jenkins, how about me? Chairman Shaw said
that I need to be on the project team too."
Luke looked over and saw a woman who was wearing thick makeup looking at him in a provocative
manner. 1
Luke raised his eyebrows.
It was Moya who was put there forcefully by Julian.
Clearly, Julian wanted to manipte her so that it would disgust him.
But it seemed like Julian had looked down on Luke.
"You''re in charge of finance on this project. You do know that finance is extremely important, so your
post is significant too. But you don’t have to be there when we''re signing the contract," Luke said.
''Finance?'' Moya learned that she was going to be in charge of the money affairs, so she agreed on
that happily.

Luke only averted his gaze calmly.
In fact, Moya was only a woman who had never learned anything regarding ounting. How dare
she agree to be in charge of finance? The entire staff of thepany listened to him. If he wanted
to frame Moya i n financial affairs, it was extremely easy.
Moya snatched away the Jenkins'' properties. Hence, h e wanted her to pay for that.
In fact, a few million dors was nothing for the Jenkins.
But Julian was the one who created the trouble for them, and Luke was apetitive person. The
more Julian messed with him, the more he would try his best to resolve everything nicely and
properly.
He wanted to prove that if he was given the chance, he was no less than Julian too.
