bChapter /b360

The man bwas /bsurprised when he bheard /bthis, “Do you think she can tolerate insults band /babuse bbecause /bshe cares more about power and bstatus/b? If that’s the case, then she doesn’t need to tolerate it. After ball/b, byour /bgrandmother loves bher /bbso /bmuch, why would she put up with all this? It’s pointlessb!/bb” /b

bJaxson’s /bknobby fingers gripped the bbase /bbof /bthe bss/b, saying nothing.

He continued, “So many women wanted to marry into the Hamilton family, including Caroline, but couldn’t get in. And yet byour /bbgrandmother /bchose

Charlotte.”

“Your grandma, with her sharp eyes, you know she can totally see through Charlotteb, /bright? But she still let Charlotte in, which means Charlotte is not as shallow bas /bbshe /bbseems/bb./b”

Jaxson pursed his thin lips, over the years his disgust towards the Sutton family bwas /bjust Gustavo constantly asking bfor /bbenefits bas /bhis father–inb–/bw.

Charlotte only asked him once, and he knew she bwas /basking for the Sutton family.

And over the years, he did look down on the Sutton family’s “rise of the small–minded.”

What else did Charlotte do besides Gustavo?

She had no connection with the Hamilton family, kept her rtionship with him hidden even when out, and never asked him for any jewelry, not even a bag or a piece of clothing. Even if she was trying to save bface/b, she hid it well, butter he gave her ia /ick card.

She hasn’t touched that card until now.

Even in the property division in the divorce agreement, she only asked for one million.

A million was nothing to him.

“Gerald, I don’t understand Charlotte anymore. Why did she marry him in the first ce, and now why is she leaving?b” /b

Gerald Mueller blurted out, “Maybe because they like you?”

Liked him…

Jaxson’s deep eyes flickered with a hint of rity, “She… likes me?”

“I’m just saying, after all, if a woman doesn’t like you, it’s like you said, just for power and status. iWhat /idoes it matter bif /byou have ba /bbmistress /bboutside /bbof /byour first love? She wouldn’t mind, right?”

The gloom on Jaxson’s face, dissipated a bit.

“Okayb, /blet’s not talk about that for now.” Gerald poured a drink and his bface /bturned serious.“Let’s talk about Collin, this kid has some serious psychological issues.b” /b

“He was pushed down from upstairs, maybe got quite ba /bscareb./bb” /b

“I bdon’t /bthink so.”

bGerald /bshook his bhead/b, “Just being pushed down the stairsb, /band it was the first time, the fear from the shock is shortb–/bbterm/bb, /bbut he bhas /blongb–/bterm psychological issues. It indicates that besides being pushed down the stairs, he had experienced some babuse /bband /bintimidation bearly /bon.”

Jaxson suddenly froze, “How is that possible, he’s Caroline’s bson/b.”

“Yeah, I didn’t believe bit /bat first either. After ball/bb, /bba /bbtiger /bdoesn’t beat /bits own cubs. But when bI /bsaw bthose /bbscars /bon his thighs, those wounds bwere /bstacked together, not caused by identsb./bb” /b

b“/bA mother who loves her child would never btolerate /bbany /bbinjuries /bon the child. Unless, those scars were bcaused /bby the mother bherself/bb./b”

Gerald now brecalls /bthose bscars /bhe bsaw/b, band /bhe bcan’t /bhelp but shiver.

This is bclearly /bbabuse/bb! /b

He had his mind blown by Caroline bfor /bbthe /bfirst time.

Jaxson looked bgrim/b, bafter /bexposing bCaroline’s /bblies /btime and time again, it was time bfor /bhim bto /bbinvestigate /bbsome /bthings.
