Chapter 407.
Jaxson walked to the window in the fire escape and lit a cigarette. He stood in the shadows, the darkness hiding his outline. “I didn’t really believe what Caroline said.”
“But… back then, besides you, there were a few other kids who got kidnapped. That girl matches up, and her parents also admitted their daughter had been kidnapped.”
He paused with the cigarette in his mouth, tapped off the ash, and didn’t say a word.
After a long time, the other person asked, “Mr. Hamilton, do you need to go see that girl?”
“No need, give her a blank check, tell her to come back to me when she’s made up her mind.”
He didn’t have any memories from before. Even if there really was a girl who saved him, he could only solve the problem with value.
Charlotte rested for another week, so it was about half a month. Her right hand could barely hold chopsticks steadily.
Just then, Javier called her.
He got to Portland.
When Charlotte went out to meet Javier, Javier brought her a gift, it was a ceramic doll.
Charlotte took the gift box and smiled, “It’s from my godmother, right?”
He was stunned, “How did
you know?”
This ceramic doll was picked by his mom. Even though his mom wasn’t clear–headed, the gift she picked was something she put her heart into.
Charlotte didn’t know how she guessed it, she just had a feeling.
She joked, “Maybe it’s telepathy?”
Javier paused with his coffee and laughed at her, “Maybe.”
“Javier, you came to Portland, what about godmother?”
“My dad was here, nothing would go wrong.”
Charlotte was stunned, “Your father came to Boston too?” She thought of something and pressed her lips together, “Is it because of your marriage with the Hamilton family? Are you really going to marry Selena? But you were clearly set up…“.
“That day I was just giving the Hamilton family some face, it was just a verbal promise, who would really take it seriously?”
Javier sipped his coffee slowly, “Besides, I just couldn’t stand the look on their faces, so I wanted them to get what they deserved.”

Charlotte suddenly realized, “No wonder you bailed on the Hamilton family later, Nancy was really mad.”

He laughed too, “What a pity. Nancy was so respected, but her youngest son just wasn’t up to much. He married a wife with no real vision, and their daughter turned out spoiled and willful. No wonder Nancy valued her eldest son and grandson more.”
Charlotte really knew how that felt.
Whenever there was a big family gathering for the Hamilton family, it was always the eldest son’s family who showed up to represent them, and even though Marvin’s family was also part of the Hamilton family, they didn’t get treated as well as the eldest son.
Selena’s spoiled and bossy ways now were because Miriam spoiled her.
Miriam and Victoria didn’t get along, but Miriam was too full of herself and didn’t know her own limits. She always thought, we both have the last name Hamilton, so my daughter isn’t any worse than Jaxson…
“Did you get divorced from Jaxson?”
At this, Charlotte paused. “He didn’t say yes.”
“Oh?” Javier rubbed the rim of his cup, thinking about something, “He really didn’t say yes?”
She lowered her eyes, not wanting to talk about it anymore, “You still haven’t said why you suddenly came to Portland?”
“I came to find my sister.”
“Huh?”
“Real younger sister.”
Charlotte froze. “But didn’t you say your sister already…”
“My dad had someone look into what happened back then again, and there was some progress. My little sister… she might still be alive.”
“Oh, I see…” Charlotte laughed, “Well, I hope you can find your sister soon. Don’t let her wander outside for too long, or who knows if she’s being bullied or spoiled.”
Javier suddenly thought that Charlotte was just the adopted daughter of the Sutton family.
Actually was an orphan.
When she said this, he actually felt sorry for her.
He reached out and put his hand on her shoulder, “Even if I found my real sister, you were still my sworn sister.”
Charlotte looked at him and smiled without saying anything.
After saying goodbye to Javier, Charlotte took a cab back to the apartment.

< Chapter 407
She just walked out of the elevator and ran into Nigel and Jaxson in the hallway. The two were facing each other, and the vibe felt really weird.
It wasn’t until she saw Jaxson grabbing Nigel’s collar that she walked over and pulled him away, “Jaxson, what are you doing?”
Nigel brushed the collar he had wrinkled and said, “Yeah, Mr. Hamilton really had a temper.”

Jaxson puffed out his cheeks, looking gloomy, “Wasn’t it Mr. Kendall who was being aggressive first?”
“I was just asking a question, how was that being aggressive?”
“Was that something you should’ve asked?”
“Did Mr. Hamilton not want to answer, or was he afraid to answer?”
“Enough!” Charlotte separated them. “If you want to argue, go
me!”
The two stayed silent, didn’t argue anymore.

Charlotte opened the door and walked in. Suddenly, she heard a noise behind her. When she turned around, the two of them were squeezing in the doorway, neither willing to give way.
What was going on?!
“What were you doing?”
Nigel looked at her and said, “Your hand isn’t working well, so I’ll cook for you.”
Jaxson sneered, “She had me, she didn’t need you.”
“If you had taken good care of her, your ex–girlfriend wouldn’t have had a chance to go after
her.”
“Where were you when your mother was being used by Caroline?”
Charlotte grabbed the shopping bags from their hands, pushed them out, and shut the door behind her.
The two were shut out.
After a moment, Nigel laughed, “That feels better.”
Jaxson gave a cold look, “Did you do it on purpose?”
“Mr. Hamilton himself didn’t please her, so don’t push everything onto me.” Nigel walked back.
