Chapter 101: Charlotte Is Sad
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing how hostile Sharon Hart was being, Karen gritted her teeth and looked at the beautiful diamond bracelet on her wrist.
Lucas had given her that bracelet a short while ago, but Karen simply tossed it into her drawer without even looking at it. Only when Bryce gave her another one last night did she put the two bracelets together and compare them. She found that the one Lucas gave her had higher clarity and better quality. It was her first ti wearing it today. But she didn’t expect this incident to happen at all.
Karen removed the bracelet and handed it to Sharon reluctantly after taking a few glances at it longingly.
“Since you like this bracelet, I’ll give it to you as compensation.”
Sharon’s eyes lit up. She snatched the bracelet and put it on her wrist. After so ti, she finally rembered to control her expression and said sulkily, “It’s not that I’m asking you to give the bracelet to . It’s just you compensating for damaging my bracelet just now. Understand?”
Lucas frowned slightly.
Karen didn’t know much about jewelry, but Lucas knew its value clearly since he had personally bought it at the auction. The bracelet was of superior quality and had been auctioned off at a final price of more than 1.5 million dollars.
Lucas couldn’t help but wonder what happened between Karen and Sharon, which resulted in Karen having to compensate her with such an expensive bracelet.
Seeing that Sharon had accepted the bracelet, Karen hurriedly smiled. “Yes, it’s my duty. Well, you’ve already accepted the bracelet, so can we get going now?”
Upon hearing her words, Sharon sneered. “Hah, you wish! I just said that this bracelet is rely compensation for damaging my bracelet. The slaps you and that bitch next to you gave aren’t going to be settled so easily! Well, how about this? I was slapped by you two five tis. I won’t be excessive. Just ten slaps will do. Let slap you ten tis, and I’ll spare you.”
“Um...” Karen imdiately looked conflicted while Charlotte’s expression changed drastically.
Wouldn’t my face be badly hurt after ten slaps? Karen didn’t hesitate for long before quickly pulling Charlotte to the side. “Charlotte, you were the one who slapped her just now, so just let her slap you back. Ten slaps will be over quickly.”
Charlotte stared at her mother in disbelief, her eyes wide open. “Mom, what are you saying?”
At the thought of the fact that Sharon had already called people over, Karen hurriedly urged Charlotte, “Just let her slap you ten tis, and she’ll let us go! It’s your fault. Why did you slap her just now? Hurry up and go over to let her slap you. I’ll get you a hot towel to rub your face with when we get ho later. I guarantee it won’t leave a mark.”
Karen spoke ‘benevolently’, having considered everything thoroughly.
However, Charlotte was on the verge of crying out of infuriation. “Mom, you’re pushing to get slapped by soone? I slapped her just now only to help you. How can you bla it on ?”
“Did I ask you to help slap her?” Karen asked righteously before pushing Charlotte toward Sharon in fear that the latter’s people would rush over.
The onlookers couldn’t help but start discussing among themselves.
“Oh my god. Is she her biological mother? She got into a fight with soone, and her daughter ca to help her, yet she’s now pushing her daughter out to get slapped!”
“I really take my hat off to her. Mothers would generally choose to protect their daughters if soone wanted to slap them ten tis. Even if not, they would share the burden with their daughters. Who would get their daughter to take all the slaps?”
“She’s such an oddball. Since she said that ten slaps won’t hurt, why doesn’t she take it for her daughter? Anyway, the other woman didn’t specify who she wanted to slap.”
“Exactly. She’s too ruthless! If I were her daughter, I’d leave her alone.”
The voices of the people discussing were rather loud, so Charlotte and Karen could hear them.
Charlotte’s heart was full of sadness, but Karen simply pretended as though she didn’t hear them.
“It seems that you’re not willing! When my husband cos and sees that I got hit so badly by you two bitches, it won’t be as simple as ten slaps,” Sharon threatened while touching the bracelet on her wrist.
Upon hearing this, Karen panicked and pushed Charlotte forward. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and let her slap you so that we can leave!”
Unable to contain her emotions, Charlotte imdiately burst into tears and looked at her mother with disappointnt and sorrow in her eyes.
She clenched her jaw and looked up at Sharon. “Fine, slap all you want. But let tell you, don’t think you’re that powerful. You’re just putting on airs because of the Wilsons! If your family falls one day, let’s see if you can still be arrogant and smug!”
“Bitch! How dare you curse my family? I’ll beat you up!”
Overwheld with fury, Sharon raised her arm to slap Charlotte hard on her face.
If this slap were to land on Charlotte’s face, it would definitely ruin her pretty features!
Charlotte kept her eyes tightly shut, ready to take the slap.
Now, getting slapped was no longer a big deal to her. Karen’s behavior just now was like a dagger that stabbed her hard in her heart, making her feel deeply saddened and disappointed.
Just as Sharon’s slap was about to land on Charlotte’s face, a hand quickly reached out to grab Sharon’s wrist.
Lucas glared at Sharon coldly. “Since you’ve already taken the bracelet, don’t go too far. Who are you to slap my sister-in-law?”
Charlotte suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the figure in front of her in shock.
It was the second ti that Lucas had stood in front of her and saved her from Sharon’s slap.
Lucas had already saved her thrice, including the incident at the Luxe.
When he ntioned that she was his sister-in-law, she felt touched and teared up even more.
Her biological mother threw her under the bus and forced her to get slapped by soone. But Lucas stood up for her to defend her against the harsh slap.
“My wrist... Let go of my wrist!”
Lucas was clamping down on Sharon’s wrist with so much force that she couldn’t move it at all. She cursed, “You loser! If you don’t let go, I’ll make sure my husband breaks your hand!”
Lucas roared angrily, “You have a foul mouth, so you need to be taught a lesson!”
With a loud smack, he slapped Sharon’s face.
