Chapter 121:.
After setting up an appointment with the Nelson Group, Charlotte felt refreshed.
She had said she would like to invite Zain to dinner, but there was no opportunity. Diana said her brother was very busy, and it sounded like he really was. He could only meet her for half an hour at lunchtime.
Charlotte checked Zain’s eating habits and booked a restaurant.
Charlotte was worried again when she placed the order. She didn’t have enough money…
It was supposed to be paid for by the company, but because of the Carter Group issue, she didn’t dare ask the company to pay.
Now he had no money, how was he going to invite Zain to dinner?
After thinking about it for a long time, Charlotte called her sister.
Since the last time she left the Wilson Family, she hadn’t contacted her, who hadn’t contacted her either.
Christina hung up the phone when she received it.
She feared Charlotte would ask for her money back.
Charlotte scoffed when Christina refused to take the call.
Charlotte decided to wait for her outside the school.
Normally, by the time Charlotte got off work, the school should be closed, but Christina was going to dance practice after school.
Charlotte saw Christina leaving with her various dance partners.
“Christina!” Charlotte called out her name.
Christina froze and looked toward her with a grim face.
“Christina, is that your sister?”
“Your sister is here, are you still going to have dinner with us?”
Charlotte stood up and waited quietly. Christina was impatient, “Go to the nearby milk tea store and wait for me. I’ll talk to my sister and then I’ll look for you.”
“Okay.”
After her companions left, Christina said unhappily, “Sister, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming to see me? I found it awkward that you suddenly appeared at the school gate. My friends are waiting for me.
Charlotte’s face remained expressionless. She looked coldly at Christina, “I’d like to tell you in advance, but have you answered my phone?”
Charlotte pulled out her phone and waved it in front of Christina, “I’ve made a few calls to you, have you answered?”.
Hearing that, Christina’s eyes averted, “I was practicing dancing and I put the phone on silent, so I didn’t hear it ring. Sis, didn’t you know I have to practice, why did you call me?”.
“So you don’t check your phone after dancing?” Charlotte’s face was still cold and calm, “I’m not going to follow up on your responsibility for taking my notebook. I have tens of thousands in it, give me back ten thousand.”
Christina’s eyes widened, “Ten thousand? Sis, do you have amnesia, didn’t mom tell you I had used the money? Go to mom.”
Charlotte scoffed, “You know who took the money.”
“I didn’t take it anyway. I wouldn’t give you ten thousand.”
“Really?” Charlotte said, “Actually, we’re sisters, I never wanted to take things too far. Since I was little I gave you everything you wanted, but you stole my money, and as your sister it’s my duty to teach you a lesson.”
Then Charlotte grabbed her by the sleeve and said, “Come with me to the police station. Or let’s go see your teacher to see what you have learned during your time at school.” Hearing that, Christina’s face suddenly paled.
“Sister, don’t do that. I didn’t take your money or spend it.”
“Never mind. We’ll talk after we see the teacher or the police.” Charlotte said coolly.
Christina, “Sister, you have been good to me since childhood. Please forgive me. If you take me to the teacher, it will be humiliating. If my boyfriend finds out, he will leave me, sister…… you forgive me.”
“Are you willing to tell the truth now?” Charlotte paused. “Where did the money go?”
“Last time I said I was going to invite everyone to a party for my birthday and they all came, so I took your money and spent it to maintain my image. If I asked mom and dad for that much money, they wouldn’t give it to me. Besides, mom would kill me if she knew I spent that much money on a party. But, sister, I didn’t expect everyone to come, and they invited so many friends. Forgive me, sister! We’re sisters, and I really didn’t mean to, otherwise, how else would I take your hard-earned money!” cried Christina as she gripped Charlotte’s arm sorrowfully.
Charlotte, “……”
Her heart seemed to soften.
Christina was her sister. Now Christina was admitting her mistake and telling her the truth.
Charlotte found she couldn’t be angry.
“Sister, are you still mad at me? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
“What can I do, even if I am angry with you, can I cut you to pieces?” Charlotte had saved the money for a long time, but she had spent it in one night. It was useless, even if she was angry.
“Sorry, sister, there’s two thousand left, I’ll pay you back now.” Christina quickly pulled out the purse and took out two thousand for Charlotte, “This is the rest of the money. I’ve always wanted to give it back to you, but the last time you asked me for it, I was afraid, so I didn’t dare admit it.”
Seeing the two thousand, Charlotte felt annoyed, “What are you going to do since you give it to me?”.
Christina wiped away her tears and said with a smile, “Never mind, sister. My classmates have meal cards, I can eat with them. Or you give me a hundred, so I can buy bread. This is my fault, I should be punished.”
They were sisters, and Charlotte would not let her suffer. Now Cristina admitted her guilt, and Charlotte’s heart softened.
“Forget it, I take a thousand and you take a thousand. I need a lot of money now. I’ll give you some when I get my paycheck.”
Hearing that, Christina’s smile froze, “Sis, are you having a hard time in the family?”
