Chapter 52: Marriage Crisis
On the way home.
Katherine asked, "You are not driving the car home, are you?" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"Up to you, if you want to drive it home, I have no objection."
"Forget it, too swanky is not good for you. Besides, in my current capacity, I am not qualified to sit in a
Rolls Royce."
Charlie knew that Katherine was empathetic, and he smiled, "Then sell it, you can get at least 15
million, plus 10 million in the bank card, 25 million. Tsk, you are now a little rich woman."
"I'm not."
Katherine said so, but there was a sweet and excited smile on her face, "You won it back, so it's yours."
"Should we really make it so clear between husband and wife? Mine is yours."
"Don't want to take me down with money. I'm not that kind of woman."
Katherine rolled her eyes, thinking about what happened in Qingfeng Mountain Villa, she was full of
doubts.
Charlie seemed to sense something and said, "Katherine, I can't explain it to you now, but I will explain
it to you clearly in the future."
"I know."
Katherine took a deep breath and said with a weird expression, "Everyone says that you are a trash,
but they don't know that you are the real dragon among people."
"People see me as crazy, while I see them as fools who are not able to see through."
At a bus stop away from the community, Katherine got off, while Charlie drove to the Xingyun Building
and found Jaiden.
In the office.
Jaiden was in a good mood and felt proud and elated. "Mr. Lloyd, I know what happened at Qingfeng
Mountain Villa. What a relief."
"It's nothing." Charlie asked, "Where is the old man?"
"He left. I sent someone to send him to the Hehua Village."
Charlie nodded, "By the way, the owner of that Rolls-Royce is Mr. Lloyd. Besides, I don't like swank.
Sell it, and transfer the money to my account."
"Okay, Mr. Lloyd."
Jaiden paused and continued to report, "Mr. Lloyd, Jackson has annexed the remnants of Elliott. He is
currently the underground boss of J City. It seems that the kid has decided to join you."
"You are thinking it too simple. He wants to break away from Marco's control. Then how can he easily
join me. At least, Jackson will only cooperate with us before I show the strength of surpassing the
Xiang family."
Jaiden snorted coldly, "This can't be decided by him. Mr. Lloyd, I'll find a chance to put some pressure
on him."
"No need."
Charlie waved his hand, "I don't really value Jackson too much. It's a good thing for him to join me. It
doesn't hurt if he doesn't join. Just keep an eye on Eduard."
"Mr. Lloyd, do you value him?"
"For five thousand years, I haven't made a mistake on my instincts of people, except for the traitor in D
City.” Every time he thought of this, Charlie's mood fluctuated.
"Eduard is an ambitious person, or he has the potential to be a powerful figure. He was scrupulous
before, but now his beloved wife is dead, and nothing will fetter him. And I also treated his father. I
believe it will not be long before he will come to me."
Charlie was very confident. From the first sight of Eduard's ID card, he had a hunch.
Eduard was not an ordinary person.
In the underground casino of Baykong City, he was beaten very hard and he didn't say a word.
The vengeance of killing his wife was wreaked immediately, and the killing was adroit and clean.
He held back his grief in time, with deep thoughts in his mind.
Charlie liked everything about him and generated the thought of cultivating him.
Jaiden was getting older and he was in business. He needed an underground emperor.
Jackson was treacherous and cunning, ambitious, and rebellious, so he was not the best candidate.
Having been betrayed once, Charlie was now cautious when choosing people.
"All right."
After leaving the Xingyun Building, Charlie took a taxi and returned home.
As soon as he walked in, he found something was wrong in the air.
Isabella winked secretly, and Charlie was puzzled. He glanced at Axel who was lying prone on the
table, and Spencer, who was blushing and squinting on the sofa.
He had thought there would be something nice.
"Dad, mom, I'm back."
"Charlie."
Spencer opened her eyes abruptly and rushed over, "You come back right on time. Listen to me,
divorce Katherine immediately. Charles has called and said that if you don't get divorced within three
days, he would withdraw the bride-price."
"Um..." Charlie twitched the corner of his lips.
He thought it was a good thing to see his mother-in-law's ruddy face, but now it seemed that she had a
quarrel with Katherine and now she was furious.
Isabella held her forehead and secretly scolded herself that her brother-in-law was really stupid.
"Charlie, I know you are reluctant, but you have to think for Katherine, the Hunt family, and yourself."
Axel pushed up his glasses and started to make a seemly wise analysis.
"Katherine will definitely not be happy with you, but Charles is different. I have already learned that he
is the youngest master of the Lloyd family in Jinling. With such a position, it would be the honor of
Katherine and the Hunt family to be wanted by him. You must not badger her and get in the way of
Katherine's happiness."
"Secondly, Old Lady Hunt values her reputation a lot, and it is impossible to return the bride-price. Also,
if she knows who is affording the bride-price, she will definitely agree to your divorce."
"As for the third point, you have no good background, no power, and insist on not divorcing, you are
undoubtedly annoying Charles. He can kill you with his power. You have to consider your safety!"
After finishing speaking, Axel seemed to think that what he said was very reasonable.
He clapped his hands nd laughed, "To make a summary, divorce is the best choice. Since you have
been working for us for three years, we have discussed and will give you 300,000 dollars for the
settlement.”
Damn it, there was even settlement expenses.
Charlie found it both funny and annoying, but he really had some doubts in his heart.
If Old Lady Hunt knew Charlie's family background, she might really break them apart regardless of her
dignity.
What should he do?
How could he expose that hypocrite's lie, that it was not he who was giving the dowry?
"Mom and dad, stop speaking. You are making Charlie confused. I'll persuade my sister and brother-in-
law. Just leave it to me."
Isabella walked over and pulled Charlie into her room.
Katherine was lying on the bed with a cold towel on her forehead.
"What's wrong? Do you feel sick?"
"No, I'm just too angry that I have a headache."
Katherine sat up and looked at Isabella suspiciously, "Why are you holding your brother-in-law's hand?"
"Huh." Isabella stuck out her tongue, "Are you jealous?"
"That's not the case. Your relationship seems to have not been very good. A few days ago, you even
framed Charlie for assaulting you and took private photos of you."
Charlie also felt that something was wrong. He sat on the floor and leaned on the big bed. He laughed
and said, "F three years, it looks like it's the first time that you've called me brother-in-law today. You
are accepting me."
"Don't overthink it."
Isabella also sat down, hugged the big bear doll, wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Comparing you with
that Mr. Lloyd, I hate him more. I think he is too hypocritical, and he is even a playboy. Sister, if you are
with him, not only will you not be happy, but will be tortured miserably!"
"Bingo!"
Charlie snapped his fingers and praised, "Yes, you are not that stupid."
Isabella rolled her eyes at her and asked, "Sister, but mom, dad and grandma, they won't care if that
guy is sincere. They only value his money and background. What should you do?"
"I, I don't know either." Katherine looked at Charlie and bit her red lips lightly.
"Let me see."
Charlie was also very helpless, who knew that hypocrite would do something like this.
Should he expose his own identity, and say that he is the one that afforded the bride price?
It wouldn't work. No one would believe it.
Should he bring Jaiden with him?
That was a bit over.
Should he kill that hypocrite?
Well...
Charlie was trying to thinking up an idea in his head. With his method, it was too simple to assassinate
a person, plus being in J City, Jaiden could completely erase any traces.
However, the Lloyd family will definitely not let it get away easily.
As one of the largest families in Jinling, regardless of whether there was evidence or not, if someone
were suspected, then the Lloyd family would arrest him. They would rather make mistakes by arresting
thousands of innocent people than spare any one that was possibly right.
Should he kill the whole Lloyd family then?!
"I got one!"
Suddenly, Isabella yelled, with her big eyes rolling around, and said mysteriously, "Sister, why don't you
two run away?"
"Ouch."
Isabella covered her forehead, "Sister, why did you beat me? I am thinking for your good."
"The project in Binhu District is still there, how can I go? Should I abandon my parents and abandon
you? If I leave, what about this family!" Isabella said angrily.
"Sister, I was just joking."
Isabella got into Katherine's arms and said, "After all Charlie is too useless. If he is powerful enough,
he can protect you."
"Don't say that." Katherine blushed.
Charlie's power was beyond their imagination. If it weren't for his not wanting to be exposed, what
would that playboy be?
Bang bang bang.
At this moment, a knock on the door was heard.
Spencer yelled outside, "Get out, get out. Let's go to the Hunt Old House immediately. News came that
Charles went to the Hunt Old House to visit Old Lady Hunt, and talked about the bride-price in person."
What!
Katherine was a little panicked, "Charlie, what should we do?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Charlie's expression didn't look good. How could there be such a shameless person, which was
considered an experience for him.
"Let's go, to the Hunt Old House and see what tricks he is playing. If it's necessary, I don't mind letting
the Lloyd family have a new young master."
