Chapter 282
"You didn''t treat me like this when you locked me up in the conference room and wanted me to
bleed to death."
I sat down and looked at her. Even if I knew that Gina and Jeremy may be sentenced to life
imprisonment, there was no emotional response in my heart.
They were my parents, but they were like two unrted people to me.
Gina held the receiver and said excitedly, "It was your father who asked me to do this. I had nothing
in the past few years, so I could only listen to him!"
"Hehe, he hasn''t been my father since long ago." I held the receiver and looked at Gina through the
tempered ss, "If it weren''t for my good luck, I wouldn''t be sitting here talking to you today."
If Patrick hadn''t gone to find me.
I would have been dead.
During the two weeks in the hospital, the doctor said that if I had been sent to the hospital half an
hourter, I might had died.
When she heard that someone saved me, Gina''s eyes got wet again. "Charlotte, please let us go.
We really lost our minds at that moment. I also advised Jeremy that since Shelton had been willing
to give us money, then forgot it. But he didn''t follow my words and insisted on getting your house."
"I almost died. How can I let you go? And as you are poor, isn''t it good to live in prison to get food
and drink for free?"
I spoke tly.
In fact, it was better to stay in prison than to live such a bad life.
"No, I don''t want to stay in prison for a lifetime." Gina pressed one hand on the ss, and her face
was tightly attached to the ss. "Charlotte, please, just let us go, for I had been pregnant for 9
months to give birth to you."
"So what?" I sneered. "If Caroline and I weren''t twins, I wouldn''t believe you''re my mother at all.
How could a mother treat her child like this!"

"No, it''s not like that..."
"At that time, both Caroline and I were on the boat. Generally, you would be happy if both of us
came back. You were going to be d too even if only one of us came back. But what about you?
What did you do? If Caroline was there that day, would you treat her as what you did to me?"
Even if Gina didn''t answer, I knew that they wouldn''t.
A vicious tiger would not eat its cub.
In their eyes, I was not their child, but Caroline was.
Gina looked at me and said in a kind voice, "Yes, Caroline has been growing up with us, so we have
deeper feelings for her. But over the past few years, we have been trying hard to ept you and
treat you kindly. Affection can''t be cultivated overnight..."
"So you tried to kill me for getting the house?" I looked at Gina, without any pity in my eyes, and
said, "To tell you the truth, looking at Caroline, that good-for-nothing, I don''t regret living in the
Archer Family at all!"
Gina had been saying nice things to me.
But just as I spoke ill of Caroline, her face changed immediately and she couldn''t hide her anger.
She said to me, "What are you talking about? How could Caroline be a good-for-nothing? She..."
"What?" I interrupted her and asked, "How many times did I do homework for her at school? I even
took the makeup exam for her. She found someone on the Inte to make the graduate project. It
took her a lot of effort to get the Cowell
Family to set up a studio for her. In the end, she giarized a deceased designer''s work. She didn''t
really earn a penny by herself and only relied on others to support her. She didn''t contribute
anything to society at all. Isn''t she a good- for-nothing?"
I calmlyined about Caroline, and Gina''s face was getting more and more gloomy.
Finally, when I questioned her whether Caroline was a good-for-nothing or not, Gina couldn''t stand
it anymore. She pounded the table and stood up. "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if
Caroline doesn''t do anything, we''re willing to support her!"
"You support her as you like. Why drag me into it?" She was fierce, but I was not afraid at all. "You
took me back for the shares. In order to take back the shares, you asked me to marry someone as
her recement and wanted me to be hated by my grandmother. Fortunately, my grandmother is
wise, otherwise, you would have smeared mepletely a long time ago!"
"Her recement? You actually dare to bring that up!" Gina was furious. "It''s all your fault! Patrick
came to save you that day. Don''t think that I couldn''t see the expression on his face when he held
you. He loves you! You b*tch, you not only killed Caroline but also stole her lover!"
"I stole? She was a mere turtledove trying to take over a magpie''s nest. Why do you think Patrick
likes her? It''s because I rescued Patrick when I was a child, and Caroline said that she was the
rescuer!" I was also angry. "She deserved to die!"
If it weren''t for these twists and turns, perhaps Patrick and I wouldn''t have ended up like this!
"You! You!" Gina was so angry that she pointed at me. After a while, she said, "You b*tch! I shouldn''t
have let the hospital send you to an orphanage. I should have strangled you directly!"
What she said made me stunned.
I stood there holding the receiver for three seconds before realizing what had happened. "What did
you say?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face.
"She meant that she had already known my existence, didn''t she?"
"I was not lost in the hospital but abandoned by her?!"
Gina realized that she had blurted out something, but she didn''t want to change. She sat back in the
chair, looked at the sky, and said with a ferocious face, "Neither of you is my daughter. My daughter
had already died in my womb..."
"What?"
I looked at Gina in a daze.
This...
What did this mean?
Gina looked at me with a nk expression. "When Jeremy refused to marry me, I was pregnant. I
told Jeremy that and he didn''t care about it at first, but I knew that Rosy would definitely let me
marry Jeremy as long as I gave birth to this child. But then, the doctor said that my child was not
healthy and advised me to abort it. How could I abort it? But the child died in my womb when it was
six months old."
"... And then?"
"And then, I still kept it. During that time, I''d sent photos to Jeremy every day. On the day of delivery,
I went to the hospital, only to give birth to a dead fetus." Gina was sitting there with a strange
expression on her face.
She seemed to beughing, but she also seemed to be crying.
"Then how did you get Caroline and me?"
The only thing I wanted to know was this!
Gina looked at me and said, "The next day, there happened to be a woman who was pregnant
before she was married and gave birth to twins. The family felt disgraced and wanted to find a ce
to throw the children away. I got them out of kindness, but I had only given birth to one child.
Because my belly was small, I picked a thin and weak one and sent the other to an orphanage."
As soon as I heard Gina''s words, my mind was filled with all kinds of information.
"That means I am not her child!"
"I still have my own parents!"
I looked at Gina and asked her urgently, "What about my mother? Who on earth is she? Who did
you get us from?"
At this time, the police of the detention center came in and said, "The visit is over."
With that, he was about to take Gina away.
"Wait a minute!" I patted the ss window and shouted, "Who on earth did you take the children
from? What''s the surname of that family?"
