Chapter 117 Money Request
The person who came was Robert’s mother, Charlotte. She rarely visited, and I wondered why today.
Upon entering, she saw Charles throwing a tantrum and couldn’t help but scold, “How did you raise him so unruly? Such a temper!”
I chuckled and replied with a friendly tone, “Yeah, I should learn from you, just scold and hit at the slightest provocation.”
Charlotte, with her neck held high, was about to retort when Robert, carrying a bag, walked in. Seeing his mother, he was a bit surprised and asked coldly, “Why are you here?”
He probably felt that his mother’s visit wasn’t for a good reason. After all, what she did to Amelia turned them upside down, and his once good daughter-in-law and grandson were now treated as trash and bastards.
Charlotte, not oblivious to the hostility in Robert’s words, displeased said, “I just miss my grandson. It’s been so long since you brought him back. Why didn’t you send him to me?”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
I inwardly scoffed, I sneered inwardly, don’t even think about it, you’ll only ruin a good child.
Charlotte sat on the sofa, looking somewhat twisted. She glanced at Ollie, who was playing with Lego on the side, and called out, “Oliver, didn’t you see Grandma coming?”
“Say hello to Grandma!” I reminded him. I knew Ollie was a bit resistant to his grandmother, but politeness was still necessary.
“Grandma!” Ollie didn’t stop his hands from moving, not bothering to lift his eyelids, just grudgingly calling out.
“Such disrespect! I’ve been taking care of you for nothing!” Charlotte scolded unhappily.
Unable to bear her scolding the children, I reminded her, “Mom, don’t always scold the kids. They have their dignity.”
“What dignity does a little brat have? If you don’t discipline them properly from a young age, what will they become when they grow up?” Charlotte retorted with all sorts of twisted reasoning.
I didn’t bother arguing with her. While Charlotte kept grumbling, I picked up Charles and said to Ollie, “Let’s go, Mom will take you to draw, okay?”
Robert, with a gentle expression, said, “It’s almost dinner. After eating, you can go upstairs.”
I didn’t pay him any attention.
Upon hearing my words, Ollie immediately jumped up, avoiding his grandmother as if she were a plague, and ran upstairs first.
I instructed Edith to call us when the meal was ready and carried the children upstairs.
Behind me, I heard Charlotte asking Robert, “Did you change the nanny?”
Robert responded with an unenthusiastic “Yeah.”
Back upstairs, after having the boys play with building blocks, I opened the surveillance cameras. I knew for sure that Charlotte’s visit wasn’t about seeing her grandson.
As expected, seeing me upstairs, Charlotte glanced at the kitchen, where Edith was busy, and approached Robert, saying, “Robert, you promised me. Why haven’t you transferred the money to me?”
I smirked a bit. Amelia was right; She’s just about asking for money. What does she want to show off this time?
Robert’s face immediately darkened, and he angrily lowered his voice, “Mom, can’t you have some restraint? Do you really think I’m a money-printing machine? Can’t you stop bothering me endlessly?”
“What are you saying? You can give…” Charlotte abruptly stopped her words, glanced upstairs, and continued in a lowered voice, “You don’t even bat an eye when buying her such an expensive car. I attend a cruise night banquet, and you claim there’s no money. Am I still your mother?”
As soon as Robert heard Charlotte speak like this, he became furious and sternly looked at her, saying…
