Chapter 649 A Suspec

"You— "

Before Charlotte could say anything, Mrs. Brooke already rose from her seat. She gently put the magazines on the table.

"We will take our leave. Thank you so much for seeing us." She then turned towards Charlotte. "Let's not create a scene here. Let's go." Her words had a hint of warning. For some reason, she could feel that Lily was intentionally provoking them.

Mrs.Brooke hated playing games and she was also the type of person who hated being played with. However, who was Charlotte Swanson? Obviously, Mrs. Brooke's words did not go through the woman's thick skull.

"You bitch!" Charlotte hissed. "If you want to leave then leave! This woman just insulted my daughter! Do you think I will let this pass?"

"Insulted?" Lily smiled. "I was helping her find her next man. Am I not being friendly enough? Would you like me to contact each of the men and introduce her to them too?"

"How dare you!?"

"A truth… is not an insult Mrs. Swanson. But I guess you don't know that, do you?" Lily smirked. She eyed Mrs. Brooke as she nodded inwardly. This Mrs. Brooke seemed to be smart enough to avoid the situation.

"You really dare to say that in front of me?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Lily challenged. She then chuckled as she watched Charlotte's face turn red in anger.

"Really? You think you are— "

"Alright… Charlotte, let's go, that's enough." Mrs. Brooke interrupted as she held Charlotte's arms. "Let's leave this place, come on."

"What do you mean? I am not leaving? What? You are scared of her? This woman needs to be taught a lesson!" Charlotte rose from her seat. She towered over Lily with her five foot ten height. Narrowing her eyes, she placed her hands on her waist. "Do you think I am scared of you? My husband could destroy you and your husband! You think too highly of yourself. Why don't you try and visit the US again after this. I will have the FBI arrest you! You— You— harlot!"

"Charlotte… that's enough… come on!" Mrs. Brooke said when she saw the smile on Lily's face. There was no way she was not setting them up. "Let's go!"

"Leave me alone! Let me go!" Charlotte exploded. "I will not leave until this woman agrees to sell this house!" She then pointed a finger at Lily. "You will pay for what you said about my daughter!"

"Alright…" Lily rose from her seat. Some beautiful women are really just that. Beautiful with no brains. Isn't it such a waste?

"Where are you going?" Charlotte asked in histeria.

"Mrs. Brooke said you are leaving. Are you not coming with her?"

"I am not— "

"Of course… she will. We are going now." Mrs. Brooke faked a smile as she tightened her hold on Charlotte's arms. She then leaned towards her. "Let's leave now. Do you really want to disappoint Adalind? She always thought you have stopped your entitlement a long time ago."

As expected, her words immediately lessened the anger in Charlotte's face.

Seeing this, Mrs. Brooke added, "Let's leave this place… now."

"We are not done here!" Charlotte narrowed her eyes on Lily before stomping her feet and walking ahead of Mrs. Brooke.

"I really apologize for her behavior. Let's not see each other again." Mrs. Brooke said. She did not wait for Lily to answer her as she followed Charlotte out of the property.

"Did you really have to treat me like a child?" Charlotte said when Mrs. Brooke caught up to her.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Brooke eyed the CCTV in the area. This property might be old but it had all the technology needed for security.

"What you did in there! You were treating me like a child. Can't you just mind your own business?"

"Charlotte if we were in the US… I wouldn't have cared about you at all. I would have left you behind, alone inside the enemy's territory and even laugh if the media would announce that you went missing. But we are here in Hong Kong… we shared the same transportation and hotel. I am also the current wife of your ex-husband. If you disappear I might become a suspect. I don't want that to happen."

"You— You think she will kill me?" Charlotte asked.

"How should I know? All I'm saying is, don't offend the wrong person inside their own property or you will end up in the pacific ocean." She eyed Charlotte. "I'm sure the fishes would love to have you there."

Charlotte turned silent at Mrs. Brooke's words. This woman was right. This was not their territory and as brave as she was, no one would really help her in this place if she was killed or kidnapped. She harrumphed and marched towards their car faster. They needed to leave this property as soon as possible.

"Adalind needs to attend the awards night." Charlotte declared.

"Adalind just had her operation." Mrs. Brooke said while rolling her eyes as the duo got inside the car.

"So? You would just let Lily insult my daughter? She just called her a slut!"

"She is a slut." Mrs. Brooke said. "A rich one."

"You— If Robert hears this…"

"Please… Charlotte can you stop acting like a toddler? Robert does not care about my opinion when it comes to his daughter."

Charlotte glared at her. "I will have Adalind attend that awards night! She will have multiple escorts to help her walk. I can't have that woman look down on my daughter. I don't want her to look down on me either!"

"If you do that… there is a possibility she won't be able to wear heels again."

"The US should have the technology to restore her broken bone. We have money, that is not a problem. All I want is to show Lily that she messed with the wrong woman."

"All this…" Mrs. Brooke made a deliberate pause. "All this for a house? Do you really think it's worth it? You are spoiling your daughter too much Charlotte. If you continue like this, she will never find her happiness in this world."

Charlotte's frown deepened at Mrs. Brooke's words. "That will not change my mind. I will ask my husband for an invitation to this awards night and you know what?" she smiled. "I am going with my daughter!"
