There were her mother\u2019s medical bills, Christopher\u2019s tuition, and the savings she was putting aside for a house back in her hometown. She glanced down at the shopping bags in her hands: clothes, shoes, handbags, and a few household items for lodging. All this . cost thirty thousand? She couldn\u2019t accept it. Still, everything was brand new. If she sold some of it in the secondhand market, she probably wouldn\u2019t lose too badly.<\/p>\n<p>Estimating roughly, she could maybe reimburse Ethan an additional seven or eight thousand. It would be painful, but manageable. Seeing Charlotte fall silent, Ethan spoke again. \u201cIf it\u2019s too much, don\u2019t force yourself. This was just a token of my appreciation for Christopher.\u201d But his words only spurred her further. \u201cI\u2019ll return what | owe, | just\u2026 need a few days,\u201d Charlotte said through gritted teeth, shooting him a sharp side-eye. Ethan nodded. \u201cFine. Then you can write an IOU for three \u2014- hundred thousand.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Actually, it\u2019s three hundred and eight thousand, but I\u2019ll round it up for you.\u201d \u201cWhat?!\u201d Charlotte nearly screamed, and the shopping bags nearly slipped from her hands. \u201cYou just accepted them,\u201d Ethan said lightly, \u201cWhy the shock? The receipts are all there. If you don\u2019t believe me, check yourself. Charlotte stared dumbfounded, then looked at Christopher, whose scalp was practically crawling When Ethan had taken him shopping, he hadn\u2019t let Christopher see the prices-only asked if he liked the items. Many of the things were forced into his hands, chosen for him.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher had no idea how expensive they were. He just felt everyone was being nice and attentive, so he didn\u2019t dare say no. And now-hearing the total-he was even more stunned than Charlotte. Charlotte scoured the receipts and realized most items were nearly ten thousand each, with one bag topping over two hundred thousand. \u201cEthan, you\u201d \u2014- She almost cursed, but Ethan immediately held up a finger. \u201d Mind your words, Charlotte. We aren\u2019t on familiar terms, so you can\u2019t be swearing at me.\u201d \u201cOriginally, | didn\u2019t care about the cost. | genuinely wanted to do something nice for Christopher.<\/p>\n<p>But since you won\u2019t appreciate it, | won\u2019t force it,\u201d he added, tilting his head as he studied Charlotte\u2019s ashen face with a faint smile. Charlotte clenched her fists, cursing herself for never learning how to box. How could one person be this infuriating? She hadn\u2019t guessed wrong-Ethan was deliberately provoking her. \u201cEthan, if your grudge is against me, fine. But taking it out ona kid and guiding him into mistakes\u2026 isn\u2019t that shameless?\u201d Charlotte snapped, though the three hundred thousand still made her knees weak. \u201cCharlotte,\u201d Ethan said smoothly, \u201cyou should speak with some sense.<\/p>\n<p>How exactly am | targeting a kid?\u201d He circled around her, coming up behind Christopher. He lightly tapped the boy\u2019s slight frame \u201cChristopher, you came to see me today, right?\u201d Christopher glanced at Charlotte, who frantically signaled him, \u2014- but he couldn\u2019t resist the pull of his own conscience. He nodded. Ethan grinned triumphantly. \u201cSee? Today, Christopher came to thank me. | treated him to a meal, shopping, and gifts. How is that \u2018targeting a kid or \u2018leading him into mistakes\u2019?\u201d Charlotte was utterly speechless and simultaneously furious at her brother.<\/p>\n<p>She felt like she might explode from frustration.<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
