I Have Never Been Your First Choice novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402.

Charlotte walked out of the bathroom and couldn’t help but laugh, “Does Mr. Kendall never show any tenderness to women?”

He looked at her, “She needed Jaxson’s tender care more.”

Speechless as I was, I was still pretty surprised that Caroline became Prof. Hawkins‘ student. “I heard Prof. Hawkins hadn’t taken any students for years. She’s pretty lucky.”

“She got lucky because of an anonymous paper.”

“Thesis?”

Charlotte suddenly froze.

Was it that paper on neural stem cell transplantation she wrote ten years ago?

She suddenly thought it was funny.

Caroline walked out of the hospital. A bodyguard in black came up to her and said, “Our madam wanted to see you.”

Caroline paused for a second, Madam?

She looked at a stretch limo. Could it be…?

Caroline got in the car with the bodyguard.

The middle–aged woman in the car was elegant and graceful, really well–maintained, and even looked a few years younger than Victoria. She was beautiful and classy too.

“You were… Mrs. Kendall?”

Lenora Merrill looked at

her, “I heard i

son seemed to have a woman lately. I don’t know if it’s you, but… your background wasn’t really suitable.”

Nigel had a woman, but the Kendall family didn’t know yet?

She thought about the shadow that flashed by in the bathroom just now. Who could it be?

But she really didn’t have time to think about that right now, and being looked down on for her background, Lenora wasn’t the first.

Her clenched hand loosened a bit, and she forced a smile, “Yeah, my background wasn’t great. I was abandoned by my parents right after I was born.”

“Fine, as long as Nigel finally liked a woman, it’s okay as long as he didn’t like men.” Lenora finally gave in.

Caroline was surprised, “Mrs. Kendall, you mean…”

“Nigel had an accident before, he was a neat freak, especially hated seeing blood. These years he didn’t get close to the family much and didn’t like coming home. If you could talk him into coming back, I’d agree to you two being together.”

Lenora felt guilty toward Nigel, so over the years, whatever Nigel needed or wanted, she would try to give it to him.

She thought about marrying Nigel off.

But she knew Nigel didn’t want to. If she forced him, it would only make things even more tense between him and the family.

So she could accept a girl with no background or connections.

As long as it was something Nigel liked.

Even if she was a girl from a poor family, it didn’t matter.

Caroline didn’t expect Mrs. Kendall to be so open–minded, but the girl Mr. Kendall liked wasn’t her…

She struggled for a long time. In the end, she neither admitted nor denied her relationship with Nigel. “Thank you, ma’am.”

A few days later, there was new progress in the nanotherapy research project, and people from both sides went to the lab center for a meeting. Charlotte and James’s secretary came over first, and in the hallway, they ran into the others.

Because Charlotte was James’s handpicked last disciple, the experts who were close to James took good care of her. There weren’t many young people there who got this kind of treatment.

Other people could only be jealous.

When Caroline and her partner walked over, she ran right into Charlotte.

Charlotte looked at her, her face calm.

Caroline snorted lightly and still ignored Charlotte with a proud look, greeting a few to her.

experts next

When she said she was introduced by “Mrs. Kendall,” those experts only talked to her a little for the sake of the Kendall family.

Charlotte just gave her a look, then went into the meeting room with James’s secretary.

Seeing her walk away, Caroline looked super proud.

Now that she had “Mrs. Kendall” behind her, she basically had the right to overrule Charlotte on the nanotherapy project!

During the break in the meeting, Charlotte went to the restroom.

Caroline saw her get up and followed her out.

At the sink, Charlotte looked up and saw the woman coming in through the mirror. “You were waiting for me on purpose, weren’t you?”

Caroline took out her lipstick and touched up. “So what? We’ve been through so much already. Charlotte, don’t you get the difference between you and me?”

“Weren’t all those things I went through because of you?” Charlotte shook the water off her hand and looked at her with a blank face. “You still owed two lives.”

Caroline’s face stiffened a bit. She capped her lipstick and turned to look at Charlotte, “So what? Do you have any proof? Besides, Jaxson didn’t even touch me. What can you do to me?”

Charlotte grabbed her wrist, her eyes cold, “You think what I could do to you?”

“What, do you still want to hit me or something-”

As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte slapped her.

Caroline tilted her head, and when she came back to herself and was about to hit back, Charlotte quickly grabbed her wrist, “Do you remember that nurse named Lucy?”

Caroline was stunned.

She laughed and went on, “I’m

very

satisfied with the evidence you brought yourself.”

Charlotte shook off her hand and walked straight out of the bathroom.

Caroline froze on the spot, her face looking even more grim.

She actually forgot there was such a person!

No, she absolutely couldn’t let Charlotte threaten her!

After the meeting ended, Charlotte walked out of the building with James and the others, chatting and laughing.

Cynthia waited by the car early. The backseat window rolled down slowly, and everyone saw the man’s handsome face inside.

Someone he knew went up and said hi, chatted with him for a bit.

James and Charlotte stopped where they were. He turned around, “Lottie, I wanted to put you in charge of the nanotherapy research project from now on.”

Charlotte froze, “Just me?”

“Of course not, with Izan around, and if that didn’t work, there was still that kid Nigel.”

Izan Odonnell was exactly James’s secretary.

“Wasn’t Mr. Kendall not involved in this project?”
