Chapter 854: Chapter 854
"Those bad people not only bullied you but also bullied Annie."
Not just Grace Thompson, all these children were young, yet they had the ability to discern right from wrong already.
In their eyes, a bad person was a bad person, and a bad person must be punished.
Moreover, Ethan Allen had already made a fuss online, and all the children were aware of this.
The children also had some understanding of Charlotte’s past, which is why they were sure that Ethan Allen was a bad person.
This was the reason why Grace felt so wronged when she saw Charlotte let Ethan Allen go.
"Grace," Cyrus Thompson’s brows twitched slightly.
Normally, Grace was full of mischief, but it was the first time she had shown such aggrievement.
Charlotte couldn’t stand to see Grace cry and quickly held her in her arms.
"My dear Grace, Mommy knows they are bad people, Mommy didn’t let them go to forgive them but to give them a more severe punishment."
Charlotte spoke to comfort her, and upon hearing these words, Grace looked up, dubious yet hopeful.
"Really?" she asked with a sob.
"Of course, when has Mommy ever lied to you? They bullied you, and Mommy definitely won’t let them off lightly," Charlotte said.
Even if she had someone drive Ethan Allen and his people out of Druarus, it still allowed them the opportunity to spread rumors at will.
What she needed to do was to deal a heavy blow to Ethan Allen and his group, to ensure they could never hold their heads up again.
"But... isn’t he our grandfather..." Grace murmured, looking down.
"He is not," Charlotte said without a moment’s hesitation.
Grace hung her head and finally spoke in a soft voice, "I’m sorry, Mommy, I was being temperamental just now."
Hearing Grace’s apology, Charlotte showed no sign of rebuke, she kissed Grace’s little cheek and spoke gently,
"Mommy knows you are all worried about her, you are Mommy’s most treasured possessions, so Mommy won’t let anyone bully you."
The other children also hugged Charlotte, bringing warmth to her heart.
On the other side, Emily Allen and Ryan Richard were smiling as they returned home. The source of thɪs content is novel•fire.net
"I thought Charlotte was all that, but now she’s obediently listening, isn’t she?" Emily said with a sneer.
"That’s all thanks to my doing."
Ryan looked quite pleased with himself, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Emily,
"The money that’ll come later, the Allen family and I will split it sixty-forty."
"What did you say?" Emily’s expression changed immediately upon hearing this.
"Ryan Richard, that’s quite a large bite you’re taking, isn’t it?"
"I’m being very generous giving the Allen family forty, after all, without my threat today, how could Charlotte possibly have let us go?" Ryan was still self-satisfied in his delusion.
"Ryan Richard, that money Charlotte intends to give is out of respect for my dad, if it weren’t for the Allen family taking you in, where would you have found Charlotte?" Emily couldn’t help but mockingly retort.
Then she slowly extended two fingers, "I’ll give you twenty percent of what we get."
"What a joke, Emily Allen, didn’t you hear a single word Charlotte said earlier? She has long since disowned the Allen family, with the Thompsons now, in her eyes you are nothing more than some pitiful beggars."
Upon hearing this, Emily immediately stood up, her voice sharp,
"You are nothing more than a discarded dog of Charlotte’s, so why the arrogance here?"
