Chapter 834: Chapter 834

Ethan Allen couldn’t forget what he had experienced the last time he went to find Charlotte Thompson.

He now felt full of guilt towards Charlotte.

If only he had been nicer to Charlotte earlier, would things have turned out differently?

"Why not? Is Charlotte someone you adopted from an orphanage?" Emily Allen couldn’t help but interject sarcastically.

Ethan Allen immediately retorted, "Nonsense, Charlotte is the biological daughter of Xia Qing and me, how could she be adopted from an orphanage!"

"If that’s the case, is there a problem with a biological father asking his daughter for some money?" Emily Allen said with her arms crossed.

"Dad, Charlotte has become somewhat of a public figure now. If she refuses to give us the money, we can totally expose this affair."

Even if Charlotte didn’t care, Emily believed that the netizens online would care a lot.

If word got out that Miss Thompson, in her pursuit of fame and fortune, had abandoned her own biological father, it would be a huge sensation.

With that thought, Emily quickly gave Ryan Richard a look, signaling him with her eyes. Ryan, understanding her cue, also stepped forward to try persuading Ethan Allen.

"Sophie is right, Uncle. The Thompson family has such a big business; they could easily support both the Richard family and the Allen family," Ryan said.

"We can’t waste this great opportunity. As long as Charlotte is willing to help, our Allen family will surely make a comeback," Emily said with conviction.

Finally, Ethan Allen’s turbid gaze cleared up somewhat, as he glanced at Emily Allen beside him and slowly began to speak.

"I know, Charlotte has always been soft-hearted. She definitely can’t bear to see us ."

Having finally persuaded Ethan Allen, Emily let out a sigh of relief.

"We shouldn’t delay. Let’s go find Charlotte right away," she urged.

Perhaps Charlotte was still at the television station. A place swarming with media; if they made a scene there, it would certainly cause a big stir.

"No, no, I need to get ready first," Ethan Allen waved his hands.

"Get ready for what?"

Emily looked disapprovingly at Ethan Allen, "Isn’t the way you look now even more of a testament to our family’s plight? Mom, you should make yourself look more miserable too."

"Do we really need to do that..." Mia Stewart’s face showed some hesitation.

Although their current domestic situation was rather downcast, Mia was still accustomed to living a life of luxury. The clothes she was wearing were out-of-season, but they were still luxury brand names she had purchased in the past.

The thought of dressing up like Ethan’s unkempt appearance was worse to her than being killed.

Emily interrupted Mia sharply, "The more pitiful you look, the easier it is to gain other people’s sympathy, understand?"

Mia’s expression was still unsightly.

"What? You don’t want the money?" Emily directly questioned her.

Hearing this, Mia quickly shook her head, "No, no!"

Since it was for money, Mia resolved to go through with it.

At this moment, Ryan, who was standing beside them, suddenly said, "We’ll go find Charlotte tomorrow."

"Why?" Emily asked right away.

"You just went to the television station to find Charlotte today and got thrown out. If you go again now with more people, who would sympathize? They’d all know you’re just there to extort money," Ryan explained.

Hearing Ryan’s words, Emily still looked somewhat hesitant.

Because she was desperate to get the money.

"I know you’re anxious," Ryan said, noticing what was on Emily’s mind and placing a hand on her shoulder. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fire·net
