Chapter 103 Not Photoshopped
Andrew stared at the scattered photos on the ground and clenched his teeth tightly in anger.
Charlotte kept her head down without saying a word.
Andrew took a deep breath and said, "If you insist on causing trouble here, I'll have the security take you away."
The woman wanted to create a scene, but suddenly saw something and froze. She sneered, "Fine! You think things will be settled just because I'm not causing trouble anymore? Forget it! Let me tell you, if Charlotte, the slut, dares to seduce my husband again, I won't spare her!"
With that, she turned and left.
People around pointed and whispered with disdainful glances. If it were someone else, they would have crumbled under the pressure. But Charlotte showed no extraordinary reaction. She was used to it.
Eloise held Charlotte's hand gently and said cautiously, "Char, don't worry. As long as you're innocent, the truth will reveal itself eventually!"
Charlotte couldn't help but smile, "Do you really believe me that much?"
"You're not that kind of person," Eloise said earnestly, "I trust you."
Cecilia awkwardly added, "You can be annoying sometimes, but I trust you won't get involved with sleazy middle-aged men like him."
"...Thank you," Charlotte brushed her hair back lightly and spoke softly, "I don't feel like going shopping anymore. Maybe some other day."
Encountering such a situation would upset anyone's mood, and Eloise worriedly said, "Char, don't worry, I'll have someone investigate who that woman is!"
Charlotte nodded, "Then I'll head back now."
Eloise gave a nod.
"Char..." Andrew caught up with Charlotte in a few quick steps, "I'll also have someone look into this matter. I..."
"No need," Charlotte's voice remained gentle but resolute, "Andrew, for your own good, and for mine too, please don't meddle in my affairs."
"..." Andrew felt hurt as he said, "Are you trying to avoid suspicion now?"
Charlotte hesitated, "I guess you're right... The driver's here to pick me up, so I'm heading back. Don't worry about this matter."
Andrew stood in place. Watching Charlotte walk away, he clenched his fists slowly.
...
Waylon opened the car door for Charlotte, "Why are you so late today?"
Charlotte didn't want to tell Waylon about the crazy woman and said, "I was chatting with some classmates."
Waylon didn't ask further.
Back at Oswye Community, Paisley had already prepared dinner, and another servant, Cora, poured a glass of water for Charlotte. "Ms. Lopez, what's wrong? You don't look well."
Charlotte liked both of these servants. They were very kind people. Charlotte took a sip of water and replied, "Maybe I haven't fully recovered from the cold."
Cora sighed, "Ms. Lopez, take good care of yourself, okay? Don't neglect your health just because you're young."
Charlotte nodded in agreement.
Paisley chimed in, "Alright, alright, Ms. Lopez, go ahead and have your dinner."
Dinner was plentiful, and it was enough to feed three more people like Charlotte. She quickly finished her meal and went to her room to do her homework.
After letting out a sigh of relief, she closed the door and leaned against it with a smile.
...
The next day, rumors were rampant throughout the school, and everyone was talking about the incident. Charlotte acted as if she didn't hear anything, and focused solely on her studies.
Nicholas arrived a bit late. With a tired look on his face, he placed the milk formula on Charlotte's desk as usual. Charlotte paused her writing and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Nicholas yawned, "My father's condition worsened last night, so I went to the hospital."
Charlotte nodded in understanding. Heart disease usually acted up unpredictably.
As soon as Eloise saw Nicholas, she immediately said, "Hey Nicholas, let me tell you something."
Nicholas leaned against the chair lazily, "Oh come on, what's that? Go ahead."
Eloise put her hand together and said, "Yesterday, a crazy woman came to the school gate and accused Char of seducing her husband. She spread the photos all over the place. So, can you delete those photos and posts?"
Nicholas furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "What?"
Eloise took out her phone and showed Nicholas. His expression darkened bit by bit.
Eloise asked hopefully, "Nicholas, you're a computer whiz. Could those photos be photoshopped actually?"
"...No," Nicholas said firmly. "They're not photoshopped."
Eloise looked puzzled, "...Then what's going on? Char couldn't possibly do something like that."
Nicholas pursed his lips and took out his own backpack.
