Chapter 601: Chapter 544: Bullying a Child
Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane celebrated Chinese New Year at Lane Family’s home, and Charles Amos, who abandoned Finn Clark, also came to the Lane Family’s home.
On the first day of the Chinese lunar year, the younger generation received red envelopes.
The elders all received gifts.
As usual, Charlotte also received a gift from Charles Amos. This year it was a valuable brooch, and it’s unknown who he had bought it from.
It seems that Charles Amos’ funds will be tight for the next few months.
So, in this situation... Charlotte added insult to injury by taking all of his New Year’s money, as long as it’s cash.
She claimed that she would help him save it and give it back to him when he grows up.
Charles Amos stared with a pair of innocent big eyes, clearly saying: Do you think I believe you?
This year, Kevin Clark gave her a diamond bracelet with a total of twelve diamonds about one centimeter in diameter inlaid in series.
It’s almost the same as the diamond ring on her left hand, both are transparent ice blue.
Kevin Clark seemed to like her wearing ice-blue items.
Old Master Lane also gave Charlotte a longevity lock.
He said, “I hope it will bless Charlotte with peace and smooth sailing in the future.”
When William Lane was injured, Charlotte returned to the Lane Family.
Only that day, she saw the longevity lock she had been wearing since childhood held in the old master’s hand.
After that, she never saw it again.
Until Old Master Lane gave it to her again today.
In the evening, back in the room, Kevin Clark intertwined the chain of the longevity lock and the red rope around Charlotte’s neck, with the lock and the heart-shaped stone hanging together.
Charlotte heard Kevin Clark say that when she fell into the sea, Lane Clan sent many people to search for her. After a long time, they only found this longevity lock.
A month after she disappeared, the old master had a severe illness.
After that, he always held her longevity lock, looking forward to her return day by day.
“How come you look so different from when you were a child?” Kevin Clark said while glancing at the photo on the bedside table.
“If I looked the same as I did when I was a child, would Third Uncle be attracted to me when we first met in Truro City?” Charlotte supported her temples, leaning to watch him weave the necklace rope for her.
“You were very beautiful even when you were a child,” Kevin Clark said, “Also, there’s no Third Uncle here.”
“So that means there would be,” Charlotte’s eyes sparkled with a smile, “Uncle and niece...”
Kevin Clark suddenly looked up at her.
The fierceness in his eyes made Charlotte pause.
Kevin Clark said, “All I know is that little girl named Charlotte always called me Brother Arthur. Don’t know who your uncle is, stop recognizing relatives here.”
Charlotte laughed, her stunning beauty even when smiling brought a somewhat chilly feeling.
Her Teacher, who taught her traditional medicine and acupuncture, treated her very well, like his own daughter.
Her Teacher didn’t have any children of his own, only one apprentice, Natalie, and an adopted son.
This Morgan Mia was his adopted son’s granddaughter.
She was 27 years old and had come to Imperial Capital to develop her career.
She took the opportunity to pay a New Year’s visit to the Clark family and stayed here for a while.
Morgan looked clean and pure, with an obedient appearance. She smiled, and her eyes turned into crescents, “I know. I’ve seen her online. She’s my little aunt.”
“Hello,” Charlotte greeted politely.
“Hello,” Morgan looked at Arthur North and continued, “I haven’t wished my little uncle a happy new year. Uncle, Happy New Year.”
Arthur responded.
After chatting with them for a while, Morgan went to the restaurant to eat.
When Morgan entered the restaurant, Natalie asked Arthur, “Can you arrange for her to work at Ryan Easton after the New Year? Her major matches the one at your company.”
Arthur toyed with the ring on Charlotte’s hand, “Ryan Easton doesn’t hire people casually. I do have some vacancies in D Continent, I can arrange something for her there.”
“Wouldn’t D Continent be too chaotic?” Natalie Wayne asked, “She’s a young girl.”
Arthur didn’t speak, focusing on the ring instead.
After graduating from university, Morgan hadn’t worked and her family didn’t know what she was doing. For most of the time, she wasn’t home.
Still, every year, she would visit Clark Manor to pay her respects during the New Year.
This year, she finally told her family that she wanted to come to Imperial Capital to develop her career, find a job, and settle down.
Due to her Teacher’s relationship, Natalie had always been supportive of the Mia family.
This time when Morgan came to Imperial Capital, Natalie asked her what she wanted to do, but she said she hadn’t thought about it yet.
So Natalie had to help her find suitable work.
Seeing that Arthur had backed off, Natalie looked at Theo Clark, knowing it was useless to count on him, and then glanced at Finn Clark.
Finn said, “How about working part-time at my coffee shop?”
Natalie ignored him and looked at Hugo Clark.
Hugo hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ll find a position for her in the family company.”
“Hugo is reliable,” Natalie said with satisfaction, “This year, I will definitely find a wife for you.”
Hugo didn’t say anything.
His claim of having someone he liked wasn’t valid anymore.
No one believed him, thinking it was just an excuse.
Dragging Arthur into it would make everyone believe it was a joint excuse between the uncle and nephew.
