Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Karen was angry because her personal interests were involved.
“That good-for-nothing is nothing but a jinx! He’s so evil, and he has lost his conscience. I bet he’s here to harm us! Even if he wants to die, he shouldn’t drag us down with him! No! Tell your sister to divorce him immediately so that your grandfather won’t blame us! Quickly, call your sister and tell her to hurry home!”
Karen pushed Charlotte in a moment of panic while Charlotte stomped her feet hard and said, “Mother, it’s useless. Grandpa said that Cheyenne and that loser took on the task together, so they have to complete it. Otherwise, none of us will be spared.”
Karen was so furious that she stomped her feet and cursed at Lucas with all sorts of malicious remarks. After she was done, she started scolding Cheyenne.
Hearing that they would be kicked out of the Carter family, William was no longer in the mood to continue reading the newspaper, as his heart was heavy.
Furthermore, Karen’s screaming and cursing made him feel even more frustrated and annoyed, so he yelled, “My eardrums are going to break from your screaming. You’re so annoying!”
“How dare you be fierce to me?” Karen retorted in an even louder voice after being shocked by William’s outrage.
“At the end of the day, it’s still all your fault! If it weren’t for the fact that you’re not Dominic’s biological son, he wouldn’t kick us out so easily. You’re a useless good-for-nothing too. All you do is snap at me at home! If you have what it takes, go lash out at your father! I’m so unfortunate to have married a loser like you. If we really get kicked out, what are we supposed to do?!” Karen started hollering at William again.
Charlotte was also incredibly frustrated and thought, I can’t stay in this house any longer.
She pushed open the front door and drove to the kindergarten to pick up Amelia.
She arrived at the entrance of Sanse Kindergarten.
Along the way, in the stylish and luxurious sports car, Charlotte attracted the envious gazes of passersby, lifting her mood greatly.
It was the peak hour at the kindergarten. Charlotte waited at the entrance for a long time, but she didn’t see Amelia, so she entered.
Charlotte saw Amelia in front of a slide and was about to call out to her when she heard the bright and clear voice of a boy.
“You’re a bastard child that nobody wants! Boo!” There was a little boy opposite Amelia, sticking his tongue out and grimacing at her.

Chagrined, Amelia’s face flushed red, and tears were welling up in her eyes. “I have a daddy. My daddy has already come home!”
“Boo, my mommy said that your dad is a rapist and a good-for-nothing who’s going to be arrested by the police. Pew pew! He’s going to be shot dead! You’re a little rapist, so you also have to be shot! Pew pew!” The little boy stretched out his index finger and made a gun sign before rushing forward to poke Amelia.
“Stop it!” Charlotte yelled as she frantically rushed over and pulled Amelia behind her.
When the little boy saw Charlotte, he turned around to run away, only to trip over his own feet and fall to the ground.
The boy wailed and bawled out loud.
When Amelia saw Charlotte, she hugged her hard and also cried out loud.
“Auntie, I have a daddy. My daddy is back. He’s a good guy… He’s not like what he said.”
Charlotte felt teary as she heard Amelia crying in her arms.
“Yes, Amelia, be good. Your dad is back, and they won’t dare to bully you anymore.” She gently patted Amelia’s back and consoled her.
“Baby! What’s wrong, baby?” Hearing the crying, a couple immediately rushed over from afar and helped the bawling boy up heartbrokenly.
“Mommy, she hit me!” Upon seeing his parents, the little boy pointed at Charlotte and cried even louder.
The couple immediately glared at Charlotte hostilely. “You’re an adult, but you hit my child. Do you have any shame at all?”
Having been wronged, Charlotte was immediately infuriated. “It was your son who bullied my niece! As soon as I came over, he ran away in fear and tripped on his own. Since when did I hit him?”
The chubby woman in her thirties obviously wasn’t willing to hear Charlotte’s words. She looked up and rushed to Charlotte. “You hit a child, huh? You brazen hussy, try hitting him again in front of me!” She reached out and was about to slap Charlotte.
Charlotte was astonished. She was wearing stilettos and holding Amelia in her arms, so she dared not dodge at all!
Seeing the fat hand about to reach her, Charlotte closed her eyes and stiffened her body while protecting Amelia.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed that woman’s wrist!
“Ah! Who are you?”
Instead of the pain she expected, Charlotte heard the chubby woman yelling in exasperation.
She carefully opened her eyes and saw a tall figure blocking her.
Charlotte gasped in disbelief.
The sturdy figure was the good-for-nothing Lucas!
Lucas flung the woman’s wrist away and turned around to look at Charlotte and Amelia carefully. He asked concernedly, “Are you alright?”
“Daddy!” Amelia exclaimed in surprise and stared at Lucas with glistening eyes. Just as the chubby woman was about to hit her and Charlotte, her daddy suddenly appeared just like a hero from a cartoon!
