    Chapter 715 My Money Is For My Family


    They met in a luxury retail store.


    Timothy, who was initially irritable, did not want to enter the store, but when he saw Johanna and herpanioning toward him from a


    distance, he strode quickly to catch up with Charlotte and snaked his arm casually around her waist.


    Charlotte stiffened and refrained from aiming a kick at him. “Don''t hug me. It''s ufortable.”


    “I''m your father''s ''son-inw,'' aren''t I?”


    Charlotte did not know how to react. She only realized what Timothy was doing when she saw the two familiar figuresing toward them


    and chuckled to herself.


    They entered the store with Timothy''s arm still intimately wrapped around Charlotte. A retail assistant hurried over to greet them.


    “Pick whatever you like, Lottie. Money is no object,” Timothy dered before taking a seat on the bench so Charlotte could shop in peace.


    “All right!” She took him at his word. Pointing at whatever caught her fancy, Charlotte soon picked out a small mountain of apparel.


    The retail assistant almost fainted from excitement as the bill approached the six-figure mark.


    Acting as if she did not know Timothy, Johanna entered the store with Genevieve without so much as a sideways nce. She tried on two tops


    and a pair of shoes before going to the cashier to pay.


    Timothy came over and held out his card. “Use this.”


    “That won''t be necessary. As clothes are something personal, I don''t like others footing my bill.” Johanna smacked his hand aside.


    The card fell to the ground.


    Johanna was taken aback. She was about to squat down when Timothy bent over first to pick up his card. After cing it back into his wallet,


    he turned around to leave.

    Johanna collected her purchase that had been packaged by the cashier and departed the store with Genevieve. She did not look at Timothy the


    entire time.


    Charlotte was overjoyed to witness Timothy''s downcast expression. “I''ve picked out the clothes, Mr. Jensen. Pay up!” she chirped with her


    chin in the air.


    “My money is reserved for my wife and kids,” Timothy snapped. “Who are you to spend it?”


    “What the h*ll? You told me that money was no object!”


    Timothy waved his hand dismissively, his eyebrows raised in amusement. “As Mr. Benson''s daughter, your pocket money must be in the


    millions a month. I''m sure the tiny cost of some clothes wouldn''t be a problem for you.”


    Charlotte suppressed the urge to hurl a vase at his head. “You scumbag!”


    It was already past four when Genevieve came out of the mall with Johanna.


    Sensing her friend''s forlorn mood, Genevieve took her phone out to send Jack a message, wanting to inform him that she would be spending


    the night at Johanna''s.


    Before she could do so, an iing call from an unknown number came.


    Genevieve nced at its area code and discovered that it was from Baykeep. Confused, she answered the call. “Hello.”


    “Is this Ms. Genevieve Rachford?”


    “Speaking.”


    The voice on the other end of the line said, “Good day, I am calling from General Hospital of Baykeep. Is a Mdm. Melissa Jones, who had


    received treatment here, a rtive of yours?”


    Genevieve took several long moments to recall that Melissa was their old housekeeper. “Yes, what is it?”


    “Our cleaners have found during their routine cleaning this morning a phone wedged in the mattress. There was no passcode, and yours was


    the only number in the message log, so I called it. As Mdm. Jones had previously upied this ward, we guessed that the phone belonged to


    her.”


    Genevieve asked, “Could you send it over to me in Jadeborough?”


    “I''m afraid that''s not possible. As it has to be registered as per hospital policy, you need toe to retrieve it.”


    “That''s fine.”


    Since the old housekeeper had passed away, Genevieve was the one in charge of sorting out her belongings. Her phone must contain


    something important if she took it with her during her stay at the hospital.


    After hanging up, Genevieve turned to Johanna and said with a resigned sigh, “I won''t have time to keep youpany tonight as I have to


    collect something in Baykeep.”


    Johanna did not mind. “No problem. Have a safe trip.”
