Chapter 126 Compassion Exhausted

How could a father do such a thing to his daughter?! Lu En knew that Charlotte always regarded Bill as her father and didn't want their relationship to become so embarrassing. She still held a glimmer of hope for him, believing that Bill wouldn't harm her. Lu En grew impatient: "I don't care about what those people think of me. Charlotte trusts you so much, and yet you hurt her like this. Such family members are better off without, especially a father like you. You're a ticking time bomb, better off gone." Bill became agitated: "Do you speak to your elders like this?!" Bill, unaware of where his confidence came from, always thought Lu En would let them off this time. Unfortunately for him, he was wrong. "I won't do anything to you, but tomorrow I'll issue a statement for all companies doing business with you to terminate their cooperation. Bill, I've done everything I can for you, I hope you won't push it any further," Lu En declared firmly. Seeing Lu En's determination, Bill grew even more anxious: "Lu En! You'll face consequences for this! Do you think everyone will obediently listen to you and stop working with me? I'll make you see that my efforts over the years weren't in vain!" Lu En raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll wait and see." Charlotte watched them coldly, feeling that it was time to put an end to these matters. They had harbored resentment since the time Flora couldn't marry Lu En. Continuing this would only make things worse. This time, Charlotte fully supported Lu En's actions. She didn't want her children to be in danger anymore. Flora's heart was filled with extreme resentment. She was younger and prettier than Charlotte, so why were all the men she liked revolving around her? Lu En didn't spare them another glance as he left with Charlotte, leaving the family behind. Tomorrow, Bill would be disgraced in this city. As a businessman, reputation was paramount. Unfortunately, Bill was too confident. With a little success, he thought he could do whatever he pleased. He didn't mind teaching this arrogant person a lesson to make him understand the realities of life. As they got into the car, Lu En was still worried about Charlotte's condition: "How are you feeling?" "I'm much better now. You don't need to worry about me," Charlotte replied. Charlotte thought, as long as the children were okay, she didn't want her father to suffer such consequences. After all, despite his age, Bill had been good to her when she was younger, otherwise she wouldn't have made it this far. Charlotte bit her lip and turned to Lu En: "Why don't we just let this matter go? The children are fine, and no matter what, he did care for me when I was young. I miss that about him." Lu En looked at Charlotte with a cold expression: "I know you're soft-hearted and worried that he won't be able to accept this reality because of his age, but I can't let you suffer unjustly." Seeing his resolute tone, Charlotte could only persuade him: "Perhaps they were just momentarily foolish this time. After all, he is my father. Maybe he just made a mistake this time, I want to give him another chance." Lu En didn't want to make it difficult for her, so he reluctantly agreed: "Fine, I'll do as you say. I won't trouble them anymore, but they need to understand that my family isn't someone they can bully." Charlotte nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you for understanding, my husband." "Even so, they need a little lesson," Lu En said coldly. "That's fine. It will teach them a lesson, so they won't do anything reckless again," Charlotte said. Lu En knew she was feeling upset right now. She was the only one in the world with whom he shared a blood relationship. Charlotte might change her mind at the last moment. It was understandable that she didn't want to cut ties completely. "Is Lloyd going to divorce Frank?" Lu En suddenly asked. Charlotte glanced at him: "Why do you suddenly ask that?" "I've heard some rumors. People in the company were talking about it today." "Yes, but I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. I have no regrets about what I did. I don't want to see Lloyd fall into the same pit as I did." "You did the right thing." She couldn't help but sneer: "It's also Frank's own fault. If he hadn't indulged himself, how could things have turned out like this?" "He's the kind of person who won't change no matter how many chances you give him," he said bluntly. Charlotte rarely heard him joke and laughed: "Yes, that's his nature." "It's those years of suffering that I regret. If I had found you earlier, you wouldn't have suffered," Lu En said helplessly. "It's okay, my husband. Those days are over. We'll only get better in the future," Charlotte felt very happy now. The two of them returned home, and the children were already asleep on the sofa. Delice was taking care of them. When she heard movement at the door, she hurried over. Delice lowered her voice, but Charlotte could still hear her guilt: "Madam, it's all my fault today. If I had found out in time, you wouldn't have worried all night." Charlotte was indeed worried, but she pretended to be relaxed: "You've done well, and besides, he's also the children's grandfather. Who could have expected something like this?" Lu En glanced at her coldly and said, "It was indeed a mistake on your part at work. Fortunately, nothing happened today. You need to be more careful in the future." Charlotte rolled her eyes and murmured, "Don't mind him. He's always like this." Lu En frowned and said, "Everyone has their own responsibilities." Charlotte knew he was really angry now and didn't dare to argue anymore: "Okay, I got it. Delice also knows she was wrong. You've been tired all day today. You should go upstairs and rest." Lu En insisted stubbornly, "I'll stay with the children first. You're tired tonight. You go take a bath first and come find me later." After checking on the children and making sure they were fine, Charlotte went to take a bath. Lu En watched the sleeping little ones. Thinking about what happened tonight, he felt very scared. If he had been a step later or if he hadn't handled it properly, he didn't know what the consequences would have been. Delice poured him a glass of water: "Sir, I'll go busy myself now." Lu En didn't take his eyes off the children: "Go ahead."
