Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Despicable Person Deserves it (1)

Upon seeing her big brother being restrained by a burly security guard, and venting his fury, Charlotte Clark swiftly ran over, crying out her big brother’s nickname, "Big Brother——"

"Charlotte, you’re here. Rest assured, mom, your brothers, and your cousins won’t let you feel wronged. If need be, we will quit our jobs." The thought of going to a desolate place like Africa made Edward Clark’s heart ache.

Ever since Charlotte was born, she was indulged by her family. He is five years older, and when his little sister was born, he too helped take care of her. To this little sister, he was incredibly affectionate, even not allowing his own wife to speak negatively of her.

Charlotte behaved unbridled at home, even dismissing her sister-in-law with disdain. Her arrival did not threaten her position in the Clark Residence at all. Hence, even at thirty years old and not yet married, no rumours or speculations could bother her. Charlotte did not understand why this was seen as strange, and the Clark family didn’t think anything was amiss either.

"..." Charlotte stays silent, looking back, her mother and a few cousins who came were all restrained. The color drained from Dean Liu’s face. Her heart ached because she had thought her mother’s offer to help was only an attempt at comfort, but she never thought she would actually come. She walked over to plead on their behalf, "Dean Liu."

"Charlotte, your mother and brother seem to think you’re not willing to go to Africa. Is this true?" Dean Liu asked, his voice cold.

"I——" For that moment, Charlotte did not know what to say. She truly didn’t want to go, but looking at the expression on Dean Liu’s face, she knew she could not openly express her feelings.

"Don’t worry, Charlotte. If we’re not able to go home in an hour, your father will bring people here. You need not fear, we have got your back. If you don’t want to go, just say so to your dean. I refuse to believe there can be coercion in today’s society. If someone doesn’t want to go, they can be forced?" Her mother exploded, defiant even when restrained, her voice shrill.

Of course, a mother protective of her daughter is unstoppable. Even if her daughter is seen as annoying by many, in her mother’s eyes, she is the one and only treasure in the world.

"..." Hearing what Charlotte’s mother had to say, Dean Liu could only gasp for breath. He had seen shameless people before but none as flagrant as this, "So you plan to have the entire police station disturbed, is it?"

"No, not at all, Dean Liu, please, my dad won’t show up, you don’t have to worry." Charlotte quickly assured him. After all, they were ordinary folks and Dean Liu was the Dean. She could confront Carolline Ruiz, but couldn’t offend Dean Liu, who was an important figure closely related to her job. She couldn’t afford to, and neither could her family.

"Charlotte, you don’t need to grovel like this, you are our family’s treasure. Why should you cater to him?" For the first time, Edward Clark disapproved of his sister acting so submissively.

"Don’t talk about it now, Big Brother." Charlotte quickly stopped Edward. Their family, the Clark family, were not prestigious. What works at home wouldn’t work outside. How could they possibly get by without considering the feelings of others?

Moreover, the thought of resigning never once crossed her mind. Only family members who knew nothing about her work would say such a thing. The salary as a nurse may not be high, but it was respectable.

Having been set up for so many blind dates, every time she mentioned her profession, she saw a look of admiration in the men’s eyes. What’s more, Carolline Ruiz, also a nurse, caught the attention of a man like Bryan Hawkins. She thought, even if she couldn’t land a man of Bryan’s caliber in the future, she intended to settle for a man who is not too far behind.
