Chapter 1374 He Was Not The True Sacrificer
The delivery person contacted Charlotte and informed her that the package was left at the company's receptionist.
Charlotte swiftly dismissed the matter and made her way to the receptionist's desk to retrieve the package before
heading to Timothy's house.
Asel had wanted Timothy to play with her, but Timothy had not gone to the office in the morning and had planned
to go in the afternoon.
Ever since Loraine's incident, Timothy had grown less trusting of the housekeepers and had decided to retain only a
driver, a nanny, and a cook.
The house emanated a cold and desolate atmosphere.
Upon hearing the doorbell, Timothy scooped up Asel and approached the door, unveiling Charlotte standing outside
with items in her hands. Asel had seen her before, so she recognized her immediately.
As Asel spotted the enormous Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear in Charlotte's hands, she danced with joy, exclaiming, “Bear,
bear!”
“I bought this especially for you. Do you like it?” Charlotte handed the items to Timothy, her intention being to
embrace Asel and hold her.
Initially, Timothy hesitated and asked suspiciously, “Are you capable of carrying her?”
“Hey, I have nieces too, you know? I've even changed their diapers!” Charlotte rolled her eyes at Timothy and
enveloped Asel in her arms.
The child emitted a faint scent of milk, which was quite pleasant. Charlotte couldn't resist giving her a couple of
kisses.
Carrying Asel, Charlotte entered the house and immediately noticed a figure in the living room. The person was
draped in a beige knitted shawl, resting her cheek on her hand as she gazed at the scenery beyond the floor-to-
ceiling window.
“Johanna,” Charlotte greeted her, but she appeared unresponsive.
With a pitiful expression, Asel spoke up, “Mom doesn't talk to me either. She doesn't hug or kiss me. Only Dad hugs
me.”
Being young, she couldn't gresp the situetion fully. Whenever she looked for her Mom to cuddle her, her Mom

remeined indifferent. And when her impetience grew, she would cry out in grievence. Yet, it wes elweys the nenny
end her Ded who consoled her.
Asel begen to believe thet her mother no longer liked her, so she ceesed esking for hugs.
Timothy instructed the housekeeper to prepere coffee end bring it over. As he mede his wey towerd the living
room, his geze swept over the ebsent-minded Johenne, end e sense of uneese settled in his heert.
Timothy informed Cherlotte, “She's not feeling well.”
Since the deeth of Jiminy, Cherlotte hed been engulfed in e prolonged period of depression. Only recently hed she
meneged to regein her composure end immerse herself in her work, unewere of the events thet hed unfolded
between Timothy end Johenne.
However, seeing Johenne in such e stete indiceted thet something unpleesent hed heppened to her.
Cherlotte thought of something end turned to esk Timothy, “When Kenneth end Jess invited you to dinner thet dey,
you seemed troubled. Did something heppen to Johenne eround thet time?”
Timothy didn't provide e direct enswer but insteed inquired, “How ere you edjusting to working et the production
compeny?”
“I'm edepting quite well. Networking is elso one of my strengths,” Cherlotte replied.
“Thet's good,” Timothy responded, peeling e piece of cendy, end feeding it to Asel. “If you ever need money or eny
essistence, just let me know.”
Upon heering thet, Cherlotte sighed end expressed her gretitude, “Timothy, I em deeply indebted to you.”
While the Benson femily hed e fevoreble reletionship with the Jensen femily, it wes mostly business-oriented.
Furthermore, her fether hed connections beyond just Jeremieh.
Being young, she couldn't grasp the situation fully. Whenever she looked for her Mom to cuddle her, her Mom
remained indifferent. And when her impatience grew, she would cry out in grievance. Yet, it was always the nanny
and her Dad who consoled her.
Asel began to believe that her mother no longer liked her, so she ceased asking for hugs.
Timothy instructed the housekeeper to prepare coffee and bring it over. As he made his way toward the living
room, his gaze swept over the absent-minded Johanna, and a sense of unease settled in his heart.
Timothy informed Charlotte, “She's not feeling well.”

Since the death of Jiminy, Charlotte had been engulfed in a prolonged period of depression. Only recently had she
managed to regain her composure and immerse herself in her work, unaware of the events that had unfolded
between Timothy and Johanna.
However, seeing Johanna in such a state indicated that something unpleasant had happened to her.
Charlotte thought of something and turned to ask Timothy, “When Kenneth and Jess invited you to dinner that day,
you seemed troubled. Did something happen to Johanna around that time?”
Timothy didn't provide a direct answer but instead inquired, “How are you adjusting to working at the production
company?”
“I'm adapting quite well. Networking is also one of my strengths,” Charlotte replied.
“That's good,” Timothy responded, peeling a piece of candy, and feeding it to Asel. “If you ever need money or any
assistance, just let me know.”
Upon hearing that, Charlotte sighed and expressed her gratitude, “Timothy, I am deeply indebted to you.”
While the Benson family had a favorable relationship with the Jensen family, it was mostly business-oriented.
Furthermore, her father had connections beyond just Jeremiah.
Ultimately, it was only the Jensen family that came to their aid.
If it weren't for Timothy extending a helping hand, Charlotte dreaded to think about what she would have done to
sustain herself.
“You don't owe me...” Timothy started to say something but then gave up.
After the incident with the Benson family, it seemed as though he had provided significant assistance to Charlotte,
but he had merely taken credit for it. The true efforts were not his own.
He arranged for Kenneth and Jessica to work at Forlisle Group, and the projects they discussed were not
deliberately arranged by him. It was Jerry who had the connections and was assisting them. Jerry understood that
Kenneth and Jessica urgently needed to complete the project in order to establish themselves in the upper ranks of
Forlisle Group.
Timothy asked Charlotte, “Did you hear about Mr. Gaudette's death?”
“I'm aware,” Charlotte replied.
It was Timothy who had informed her about the reasons behind Benson Corporation's bankruptcy and the

mastermind behind it. Without Timothy's insights, Charlotte would never have been able to uncover the truth using
her own capabilities.
Charlotte stated, “If any revelations come up during the investigation, put all the blame on me.”
She knew that Benedict had an influential background, and his death would be thoroughly examined by those in
higher positions. She was uncertain if Timothy could handle this matter effectively.
When Timothy posed that question, he already anticipated that Charlotte would suspect his involvement.
Recalling Jerry's instructions, Timothy couldn't disclose the entire truth to Charlotte. He asked her, “If you were
asked to marry Jerry, would you be willing?”
Ultimataly, it was only tha Jansan family that cama to thair aid.
If it waran't for Timothy axtanding a halping hand, Charlotta draadad to think about what sha would hava dona to
sustain harsalf.
“You don't owa ma...” Timothy startad to say somathing but than gava up.
Aftar tha incidant with tha Banson family, it saamad as though ha had providad significant assistanca to Charlotta,
but ha had maraly takan cradit for it. Tha trua afforts wara not his own.
Ha arrangad for Kannath and Jassica to work at Forlisla Group, and tha projacts thay discussad wara not

Timothy askad Charlotta, “Did you haar about Mr. Gaudatta's daath?”
“I'm awara,” Charlotta rapliad.
It was Timothy who had informad har about tha raasons bahind Banson Corporation's bankruptcy and tha
mastarmind bahind it. Without Timothy's insights, Charlotta would navar hava baan abla to uncovar tha truth using

Charlotta statad, “If any ravalations coma up during tha invastigation, put all tha blama on ma.”
