Chapter 769
“Who are you calling names?”
Fedelia shot Charlotte a glare, her neck craning forward as her voice rose, sharp and shrill.
“You,” Charlotte replied, her pretty features cool as she arched a brow. Her eyes slid to the side. “And you too.”
“You…”
Charlotte’s expression turned cold. Mahoney hurried to tug Fedelia out of the way, giving her a meaningful look.
He forced a smile, swallowing his anger before he turned to Charlotte. “Charlotte, it was just a misunderstanding. I apologize on my wife’s behalf.”
Charlotte was the Gates family’s princess, and her grandfather was the honorary president of Cabinda University. If Robert said the word, the university president would definitely do him a favor and Letty wouldn’t get expelled.
This was definitely not the time to piss her off.
Andrew and Parrish exchanged a glance, both a little lost.
Mahoney tried again, pushing through Charlotte’s cold silence. “We came to Kingswood University today to see Stella,” he said. “And also to apologize to you for Letty.”
“Please, for Stella’s sake, help Letty this time.”
Andrew rolled his eyes.
So all this talk about seeing Stella was just a cover for begging favors for Letty? Unbelievable.
“For Stella’s sake?” Charlotte echoed, a lazy smile playing at her lips. She spoke slowly. “If I remember right, you sold Stella off to Lamplighter Village and left her to fend for herself. The Stella standing here now is my family. You didn’t bother raising her or teaching her. Now you remember she exists?”
“You just want money, is that it?” Fedelia caught on to Charlotte’s meaning and quickly turned to Stella. “If you let Letty off, whatever Stella wants, we’ll give her.”
Letty’s future was worth any price.
Andrew glanced at Stella. Her hands were clenched tight, but her face gave nothing away.
Those two deserve to rot.
“Whatever she wants?” Charlotte laughed. “Let me think…”
Mahoney and Fedelia waited, not sure where she was going with this.
“How about you trade your lives for Letty’s future?” Charlotte suggested, her voice sweet but her words sharp.
Mahoney and Fedelia stared at her, speechless, their faces flickering between red and pale.
She was playing with them.
“I already warned you not to bother Stella again. If you do…”
Charlotte’s smile disappeared. She spoke slowly and clearly. “You won’t

Just wait. This isn’t over. .net>
What consequences? None of them had any idea what Charlotte might do.
“Stella…” Mahoney finally turned to
her, knowing he’d crossed the line
with Charlotte Letty is your sister, Are you really happy to see her future ruined?”
Stella stopped walking. She turned around slowly, her eyes calm and steady as she looked at Mahoney.
“I am,” she said, her red lips moving
just enough for her cool voice to drift through the air. “Seeing her future ruined, watching the Adams family fall, watching you both suffer My late mother and tean barely keep from laughing.”
Andrew and Parrish couldn’t help it. They burst out laughing.
“Letty’s expulsion notice is coming down today. Stella and Charlotte won’t help. What are we going to do?”
