I Have Never Been Your First Choice novel Chapter 213

Chapter213

After Charlotte took care of Gustavo’s affairs, she wanted to take Maggie home. She met Reynald downstairs at the hospital.

Reynald stepped out of the car and walked towards them, his face turning serious. “I heard about the tragedy in your family.”

Charlotte was stunned and couldn’t say a word.

Reynald nodded to Maggie and whispered, Aunt, please accept my condolences.”

Maggie just nodded, her expression still dull and lifeless, as if only an empty shell remained.

Reynald, Charlotte croaked, “I’ll take my mom back first.”

I am worried about your current condition, so I will drive you there.”

Charlotte looked at him and nodded, Thank you.”

Reynald drove the two of them to the Sutton’s residence. The neighbor next door saw this scene and, unaware of the Sutton family’s situation, thought Reynald was Charlotte’s husband. He shouted to Maggie,‘Oh, Aru, is your son–in–law here to see you?”

When Reynald heard the word “son–in–law,” his movement of helping Maggie out of the car paused.

Maggie couldn’t take in anything at the moment, and she didn’t respond to the neighbor’s questions either.

Charlotte was too busy sending Maggie back to rest, so she naturally didn’t pay attention.

Watching the mother and daughter ignore each other, the neighbor muttered, “What a gloomy expression, as if someone had died!”

Charlotte helped Maggie into the house, with Reynald also lending a hand.

After Maggie returned to the bedroom, she finally spoke, “I want to be alone for a while.”

Charlotte was worried about her, but the sudden turn of events happened too quickly, and she did need some time to calm down.

“Mom, I am right outside the door, just call me if you need anything.”

Charlotte left the bedroom.

Reynald was looking at her in the living room, “How is Aunt?”

She shook her head, “She’s fine.”

“Charlotte, don’t be too sad. If there’s anything you need from me, just speak up,” Reynald approached, raising his hand and placing it on her shoulder, Don’t keep it all to yourself either.”

After hearing this sentence, Charlotte’s heart suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.

Let yourself cry if you want to.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Charlotte covered her lips, trying not to cry too loudly.

Reynald embraced her and patted her back to comfort her.

Three days later.

Gustavo’s funeral was simple, but among those who came to pay their respects, only Layla was sincere, while the rest of the Sutton family were trying to find ways to take over Gustavo’s business.

Madam Sutton and the Julian family were in cahoots, humiliating Maggie in front of the funeral parlor, If my son hadn’t married you, would he have died so soon! You are just a gold digger! And you still want to take over the Sutton family’s belongings!”

Maggie remained silent from beginning to end, just standing there quietly.

Charlotte walked into the lobby and said, Enough!”

Several people looked at Charlotte.

“When my dad was alive, did you ever think about helping him? Now that he’s gone, the house and business have become yours? My dad hasn’t even had his seventh–day memorial yet, are you still human?”

The other two did not respond, but Christina laughed, “Isn’t Gustavo leaving the Sutton family? Besides, I am also considering you. With Gustavo gone, you are now orphans with a widowed mother. You should return to the Sutton family, right?

Charlotte sneered, “Return to the Sutton family? Is it to have my mother come back and serve you all? Why did my father split from the family in the first place, aren’t you all very clear about that?”

Gustavo chose to split up in order to escape from the exploitation of Madam Sutton and his older brother.

Gustavo was eager to turn the Sutton family around,” wanting his son to succeed, stand out, and only to break free from the unfairness brought to him by his original family.

Charlotte looked at the guilty Madam Sutton and sneered, “As both your sons, you favor Julian just because he married a daughter–in–law with a decent family background to serve as the face of the Sutton family, right? If my father hadn’t given you a grandson, you wouldn’t care about the Sutton family’s lineage. If my father died today, you probably wouldn’t even come to take a look, would you?”

Perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed, Madam Sutton also showed her true colors, “You, a junior, what qualifications do you have to question me! So what if he is? He is my own son, I can do whatever I want!”

Today, whatever belongs to my son, you have to give it to him, whether you want to or not!”

Charlotte slapped Madam Sutton in the face.

This came too suddenly, and almost no one could react in time.

Charlotte, are you crazy!” Julian looked at her.

“I went crazy.” Charlotte pulled out a fruit knife, pointing at them with a smile, “Whoever comes to take it, I’ll stab them!”

Julian’s face changed slightly,“Charlotte, let’s have a good talk, why resort to violence?”

“What can a little yellow–haired girl like her do?” Christina refused to believe it.“Does she have the ability to stab me to death?”

“Christina seems to have forgotten my profession, hasn’t she?” Charlotte said sharply, playing with the knife in her hand.“I am a doctor, and I can ensure

that you will experience the feeling of being better off dead without actually stabbing you to death.”

“Besides, there is no surveillance here, your testimonies to each other cannot be used as complete evidence. Or should I start with Christina first!”

Charlotte picked up the knife and was about to stab Christina.

Christina panicked and backed away, her face turning pale, “She’s gone mad, she’s gone mad!”

“Let’s go, let’s leave first!” Julian was afraid that things would get out of hand and didn’t dare to stay any longer. The group quickly left.

Layla turned back to look at Charlotte and her daughter, sighed, and left the room.

The funeral parlor was finally quiet.

“Lottie,” Maggie called out to her from behind, her eyes red, “It’s because of Mom that you’re in trouble.”

Charlotte put down the knife and walked towards her, “Don’t say that. You have raised m

there is nothing that can’t be connected.”
