Chapter 288 Catherine Clinton
Just as Brian was about to continue, a female voice suddenly came from behind him, “Enough, it’s going to be dark if you continue to talk. Let’s stop talking.”
Only then did Charlotte’s eyes light up and hurriedly greeted her. “Catherine? Why are you here too? Where’s Henry?”
Catherine Clinton, the youngest aunt of Charlotte, smiled gently and held her hand. “Henry had an operation in the hospital and didn’t come back today. But he especially asked me to tell you not to leave in a hurry. He also wants to get together with you.”
Henry Clinton was her cousin who met her at the airport, then tested her several times, and finally proved her identity for her.
“No problem.” Charlotte smiled. “His work is so busy that we don’t even have time to see each other.”
“Yes, it is…”
Catherine took Charlotte’s hand and slowly walked into the house, leaving Brian and Linda standing in place without moving.
It was not until the two of them disappeared that Brian’s face turned sullen. He turned around and glared at Linda fiercely, “Are you crazy? You’re actually doing something to Charlotte here. Do you think that your grandpa doesn’t dislike you
enough?”
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Linda’s eyes. “I just couldn’t help it. I won’t do it next time.”
Brian nodded. “Think before you act next time. If you really have a conflict with Charlotte, your grandpa won’t help you.”
Having said that, he narrowed his eyes.
How could they, who were alive, compare with a dead person? Now in the old man’s heart, Judy would probably have long been beautified as the best daughter in the world, and naturally, he was always on the side of Charlotte.
“Since you can’t move Joe Smith now, you’d better follow Beltane. Don’t let him go until you find someone who can help you.” Brian said impatiently.
Linda nodded impatiently. “I see.”
Looking at his daughter who was obviously not convinced, Brian frowned tightly. “If you had Charlotte’s ability to please the old man by one percent, we wouldn’t be in such a situation now.”
“Don’t compare me to her,” Linda said coldly. Brian stared at her angrily, but he still didn’t say anything more.
When the father and daughter entered the door, they found that `Catherine had pulled Charlotte to sit next to Old Mr. Clinton. The two of them were amusing Old Mr. Clinton, and he looked at Charlotte with a gentler smile.
Brian glared at his “useless” daughter quietly. Then he walked over with a smile, “What are you talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?”
Catherine’s face softened a little. She had never had a good impression of this ostensibly kind brother. She had just maintained the harmony in front of Old Mr. Clinton.
Old Mr. Clinton cast a sidelong glance at Brian, “I heard that you recently signed two more orders without advance payment?”
Brian’s face froze, and he quickly put on a smile, “Well, I had no choice, those few are ‘lords and royal highnesses‘, and I have to give them face.”
Old Mr. Clinton snorted coldly, “Face, face. If everyone is well–connected and wants you to give him face. Can you afford it?”
Seeing that Old Mr. Clinton scolded himself in front of the juniors, Brian’s face was a little ugly, but he quickly restrained his expression, “I see, it won’t be like this next time.”
