Chapter 372
“Caroline wasn’t Mrs. Hamilton,” Cynthia sighed, “I know you resent him, but now he’s fighting for his life in the operating room, and the Hamilton family still doesn’t know he came to Portland to find you. Anyway, just do it for Madam Hamilton’s sake, go see him.”
“Are you done?” Charlotte took a deep breath, calm as can be.“It’s my turn now. First of all, I appreciate what Grandma did for me, but Grandma is Grandma, and Jaxson is Jaxson. I went to see him today out of respect for Grandma, but just because it’s the first time doesn’t mean there will be a second time.”
“You guys kept using Grandma’s kindness to blackmail me, but in these six years, I don’t owe the Hamilton family anything. Grandma was just nice to me, and I appreciate it, but that doesn’t mean I have to give in to this face.”
“Tell Jaxson, even if he’s dead, I won’t even look at him!”
Charlotte hung up the phone.
Cynthia heard the busy tone on the phone, she turned around and looked at the man sitting on the bench with just a slight scratch.
She had just turned on the microphone, so Jaxson heard every word Charlotte said loud and clear.
Jaxson gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, looking like he couldn’t decide whether to be happy or
angry.
Did he not even show up when he died?
She was really ruthless.
Cynthia put away her phone with a look of embarrassment, she had already given all her acting skills in this lifetime.
Tried my best.
“Mr. Hamilton,” Sherman found out he was in trouble and rushed to the emergency room. There was a visible scrape on his arm under the rolled–up sleeve, but it wasn’t too serious.“You were perfectly fine, why did you end up in the hospital?”
Jaxson casually rolled up his sleeves, “Just an accident.”
“A kid suddenly darted out from the roadside, the driver slammed on the brakes, skidded onto the slippery shoulder,” Cynthia explained, “Mr. Hamilton hit his head on the side.”
Sherman breathed a sigh of relief, “As long as you’re okay.” Then he thought of something and said, “I have a nice estate with a good view. Why don’t you come and rest there for a few days, Mr. Hamilton?”
Cynthia looked at Sherman, Does he still need rest for just this little scratch?

Maybe they had ulterior motives, huh?
Jaxson didn’t expose it, just went along with it,“Sure, thanks Mr. Levin.”
“Mr. Hamilton was polite.”

The next day, Charlotte was waiting for the elevator in the hallway.
Nigel happened to be out as well. He was wearing a crisp white shirt with no wrinkles, paired with light brown trousers, and even his white sneakers were spotless.
His eyes scanned the garbage bag Charlotte was holding, and his footsteps clearly paused.
Charlotte also noticed, smiled, “Why don’t we wait for Prof. Kendall for the next elevator?” She deliberately raised the black garbage bag in her hand, “Last night’s kitchen waste, it’s a bit smelly.”
After the elevator doors opened, Nigel suddenly took a step forward and walked in ahead of her.
Charlotte stood at the door, unsure whether to go in or not this time.
“Just don’t rub against me.” He looked at her.

I’m speechless.
The elevator reached the first floor, Charlotte went out first, and he followed.
