Tell me, Ethan forced you into it, didn\u2019t he?\u201d Charlotte couldn\u2019t afford to pay back 300 thousand dollars. Even if it went to the police, as long as Christopher insisted he hadn\u2019t wanted any of it, there was no way Ethan would let a student foot the bill. Christopher looked torn. Before he could speak, Charlotte\u2019s voice rose again. \u201cChristopher! 300 thousand dollars!<\/p>\n<p>We haven\u2019t even paid off Mom\u2019s medical bills! Are you trying to kill me?\u201d \u201d Christopher glanced at Ethan. He understood his sister perfectly, but he also didn\u2019t want to pin all the blame on Ethan. After all, Ethan had been so kind to them, especially to him. \u201cCharlotte, Ethan didn\u2019t do anything wrong\u2026 It\u2019s all my fault. | messed up, I\u2019m sorry!\u201d \u201cAlright, don\u2019t pressure him.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>| was just teasing you earlier-you don\u2019t need to pay me back.\u201d \u2014- Ethan had originally planned to torment Charlotte a bit more, but seeing Christopher defy his sister rather than sell him out, he couldn\u2019t help feeling a little softhearted. Yes, at the mall, he had subtly guided Christopher into spending -but the boy had only spoken the truth. In his eyes, Ethan was a genuinely good person. For the first time, Ethan felt a little of an\u201d idol complex\u201d about himself. \u201cEthan, Charlotte snapped, \u201cyou just wanted me and Christopher to owe you favors.<\/p>\n<p>But | can\u2019t repay that kind of debt Christopher doesn\u2019t need any of these things. If you\u2019re not trying to make trouble for us, take them back!\u201d She knew Ethan\u2019s generosity wasn\u2019t entirely free Over the past few days, he hadn\u2019t been terrible to be around. But he knew women too well, had the audacity to exploit his charm and wealth, and bit by bit, wormed his way into their hearts. That was the truly frightening part. Even someone as sharp and sensible as Nancy had fallen under his spell. It was no wonder Christopher had been deceived too.<\/p>\n<p>Since she\u2019d confronted Ethan herself, she no longer believed he harbored any feelings for her. His attentions toward Christopher now must have some ulterior motive-revenge, or preparation for future leverage. \u2014- Ethan opened his mouth to say something, but Christopher tugged on his arm. \u201cEthan, I\u2019m sorry. | shouldn\u2019t have let you spend so much today- it\u2019s all my fault. Charlotte\u2019s upset too\u2026 these things are far too valuable. Please take them back.\u201d Christopher didn\u2019t know what else to do but beg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf these things aren\u2019t useful to you, I can sell them online, and I\u2019ll work to pay the difference later.\u201d Seeing the boy\u2019s earnest expression, Ethan suddenly lost all interest in arguing with Charlotte. It was\u2026 boring. Sometimes, these poor people were just tedious. Stepping forward, he took back the shopping bags under Charlotte\u2019s icy glare-but then, without hesitation, he tossed them beside the trash can. \u201cFine. These are the things | bought, but | don\u2019t want them anymore-they\u2019re garbage. Christopher, if you need them, go ahead and pick them up.\u201d His tone was cold.<\/p>\n<p>He ignored the siblings after that, especially Charlotte. Every time he saw the sheer hatred etched on her face, he felt a strange, suffocating weight in his chest. Was he breaking some cosmic law? \u2014- There was Khloe-no blood relation, yet treated like family by Charlotte. There was Nancy-another casualty of circumstances And all this time, the care he had shown her\u2026 had it never made her think, even for a second, that he might have some worth?<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
