The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray
Chapter 106 - Shameless Mother
Panda Novel
Glaring at Karen with reddened eyes, Charlotte yelled in endless disappointment, “Mom, how exactly did Lucas offend you that you have to turn the facts upside down like this? You were the one who brought everything that happened today upon yourself! Sharon Hart wanted to buy your bracelet, and you could have just turned her down. But why did you have to insult her and get into a scuffle?!
“When I saw you get slapped, I went forward to help you. But I didn’t expect you to chicken out after finding out Sharon Hart’s identity. It doesn’t matter that you were scared, but why did you have to force me to let her slap me? Have you ever spared a thought for my feelings?
“Besides, Lucas was just trying to help us by slapping that woman. How can you push all the blame onto him? If it weren’t for Lucas, I probably would have been disfigured by that woman now!
“Also, how can you say that it’s because of James Wilson’s magnanimity that we were let off the hook? Ridiculous! You abandoned us and ran away on your own. You didn’t see anything at all, so how can you say that?!
“There were so many of them. If it weren’t for Lucas, I-I probably wouldn’t have been able to make it back here. I would have long been bullied to death by James Wilson! How dare you twist the facts and blame everything on Lucas while calling James Wilson magnanimous?! You’re just babbling nonsense! You’ve gone overboard!”
Recalling what had just happened, Charlotte was furious and aggrieved as tears rolled down her cheeks freely.
She felt aggrieved for herself and Lucas! Why is Mom doing this to us?!
After hearing Charlotte’s complaints, Cheyenne finally figured out what had happened and was looking at Karen with astonishment written all over her face. “Mom, you actually made Charlotte allow herself to get slapped by someone else? She’s still just young! You even left them alone, ran back to the room, and urged me to leave with you. Were you planning to ignore Charlotte and Lucas and leave them be?”
Cheyenne was anguished, and she could hardly believe that her mother would do such a thing.
However, Charlotte would never lie to her about such things.
“Shut up! Now that you guys are capable of feeding yourselves, you know how to teach me, huh?” Being questioned by her two daughters, Karen lost her temper and yelled at them with her hands on her waist. “What do you know? They’re the Wilsons, a top family in Orange County. How can we afford to provoke them? What can I do? You blame me for pushing Charlotte out to be slapped, but she’s still young and can take a few slaps. I’m already old. Do you still expect me to get slapped? You two are unfilial!”
Karen scolded righteously and even blamed Cheyenne and Charlotte for being unfilial for not helping her take the slaps.
Charlotte was speechless. With a self-deprecating smile, she said, “Yeah, I’m your daughter, so I deserve to be pushed out by you to get slapped by someone else, right? Okay, I’ll take it that I’m unlucky to have a mother like you. But after you ran away, you don’t even know what happened, so why did you talk nonsense in front of Cheyenne? Why did you say that James Wilson was kind and magnanimous? Do you know what he asked for?”
“Hmph, what could he have asked for? He couldn’t have asked for you to sleep with him, could he? If that’s what he asked, you might as well have agreed. You’re much prettier than that fat bitch. You’d replace her sooner or later!” Charlotte didn’t expect Karen to find it a shame that she didn’t agree to Wilson’s request.
Charlotte dared not believe that her mother wanted her to sleep with someone else and become a mistress in order to get ahead!
“Hahahaha! I really can’t believe that such shameless words came out of my mother’s mouth! What do you take your daughter for? Can anyone toy with me just because they’re rich? Mom, do you have any shame?” Charlotte hollered furiously.
Infuriated at being ridiculed by her daughter in such a relentless way, Karen immediately flew into a rage and slapped Charlotte on her face. “You’re so rebellious! How can you talk to your own mother like that?”
After being slapped, Charlotte cocked her head toward the side. But she soon turned her head back and glared at Karen furiously while biting her lower lip.
“Still indignant, huh? You need to be slapped more!” Karen raised her hand again.
“Enough!” Cheyenne grabbed Karen’s wrist. She was so exasperated that her face was flushed, and she glowered at Karen scornfully. “Charlotte is right. You don’t deserve to be a mother at all!”
The words Karen said just now made Cheyenne flabbergasted!
She was extremely disappointed in her mother.
Cheyenne shook off Karen’s hand indifferently and turned around to hold Charlotte’s hand. She then headed upstairs without looking back.
Upset by her daughters’ attitudes, Karen sat on the floor again, slapping her legs and crying. “Oh my God! I’ve worked so hard to raise you two, and this is how you treat me! You’re so unfilial! I’m so unlucky to have raised such daughters! God, what did I owe them in my last life?”
Karen bawled for a while, but no one came downstairs to comfort her.
What was the point of singing a one-woman show without an audience?
Karen got up from the ground and stared at the top of the stairs while gritting her teeth. “It’s all that good-for-nothing’s fault! If it weren’t for him, Charlotte and Cheyenne wouldn’t have done this to me! Lucas Gray, just you wait and see!”
Cheyenne took Charlotte back to her own room and accompanied her for a while. Comforting her, she said, “Forget it. That’s just what Mom is like. It’s not the first time she’s acted like this. Just take her nonsensical words as nothing, or else you’ll really be infuriated.”
Charlotte nodded with tears in her bloodshot eyes. “Yeah, I got it. I’d like to be alone for a while. Please go back to your room.”
Cheyenne sighed and wiped her eyes before returning to her room.
Inside the room, Lucas had already tucked Amelia into bed and was sitting quietly on the carpet, waiting for her.
“Lucas, Charlotte told me everything that happened. Thank you on behalf of Charlotte, and also, I apologize on behalf of my mother,” Cheyenne said apologetically while looking at Lucas.
Lucas smiled and shook his head. “No, they’re your family members, so that makes them my family members too. You don’t have to apologize on their behalf.”
Cheyenne was touched and overwhelmed with inexplicable guilt. “Actually, you clearly have great power and wealth, and you could have just stayed in your luxurious mansion where no one would boss you around. You’d live better than you are now…”
Lucas interrupted her and said gently but firmly, “However, you guys aren’t there. To me, wherever you and Amelia are is my home.”
