Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: Sense of Happiness
"Charlotte, you should have Fifth Brother post a clarification on Weibo for you. His knack for sneaky comebacks is unmatched."
However, as soon as Felix said this, he was met with a "friendly" glance from James.
Felix immediately clamped his mouth shut and retreated quietly to the side.
"I actually think those four characters carry a lot of weight, and besides, our Charlotte isn’t one to stoop to dealing with petty people." James smiled, looking at Charlotte, which made her blink bashfully.
When Charlotte posted "clear self stays clear," she hadn’t given it much extra thought.
She’d always found those lengthy statements celebrities and influencers write too cumbersome, and since she didn’t feel like typing too much, those four characters seemed just perfect.
Besides, with all the slaps in the face coming up one after the other, wouldn’t they be far more interesting than some clarifying Weibo post?
"Even so, we can’t just let this slide so easily."
Jake coughed lightly, clearly still displeased, and said coldly, "Someone dared to try framing our Charlotte? Unbelievable audacity!"
"Exactly! How is Justin Battleson running his company? How could he let a measly VP act so brazenly?"
Mr. Thompson interjected, his tone questioning. Charlotte, however, shook her head and sat beside him.
"That George Robbins is just a pawn being manipulated by others."
Hearing that, a flicker of deep thought crossed Mr. Thompson’s expression.
"I’ve heard some things about the Battleson Family. Are they the ones behind this?"
Charlotte nodded slightly, prompting a cold snort from Mr. Thompson.
"Humph, their household is a mess, and they want my precious granddaughter dragged into it too? That boy Justin—I swear, if it weren’t for his grandmother, I’d teach him a bloody good lesson myself!"
Seeing Mr. Thompson this indignant, Charlotte decided not to persuade him further. Instead, she silently spared a moment of pity for Justin, praying he’d steer clear of the Thompson family.
But, as fate would have it, Justin was already en route to The Thompson Villa, blissfully unaware of the danger ahead. He even sneezed along the way.
After Charlotte arrived at The Thompson Villa, Felix promptly informed the rest of the Thompson siblings.
Not long after, her other brothers began trickling in, one by one. Even Henry and Joshua, who’d originally been preoccupied at work, had returned to the villa.
The brothers naturally gathered around Charlotte, bombarding her with questions. While each of them assured her on the surface that they wouldn’t secretly take action or cause trouble for anyone,
it was hard to say what their true intentions were once they turned away.
In no time, Justin arrived at The Thompson Villa to pick up Charlotte.
Mr. Thompson, who had been itching to teach Justin a lesson the moment he saw him, was quickly distracted when Justin unexpectedly brought the children along. Suddenly, all of his attention shifted to the kids, leaving Justin momentarily off the hook.
Although Mr. Thompson had let Justin off this time, Charlotte’s other brothers weren’t so forgiving. Felix and Jonathan, in particular, were eager for round two, cracking their knuckles and dragging Justin outside for what was clearly a quest to restore their dignity.
As for the outcome? Charlotte didn’t need to guess.
Looking around at everyone in the villa, Charlotte felt a tide of warmth and happiness flooding her heart.
