My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 572

Chapter 572

The door slammed shut behind them.

Frustration welled up in Mrs. Fraser’s chest.

She wanted to curse and scream out loud. After a quick glance around, she realized that there were many people gathered around the Field family’s doorstep.

Some of them were even familiar faces.

Ministers, committee members, the secretaries’ families and whatnot… had come out to check what had happened.

Her cheeks began burning. She had never been so humiliated before in her life. This is all the Field family’s fault!

Oh, they’ll be the death of me! I will never forget the humiliation I’ve endured today! I’ll be back!

At the Field family home.

Disbelief flashed across Joseph’s face. He realized the look on his face went from one shocked expression to another.

“Mom… that was so badass! You were like a martial artist expert!”

She just threw them out the door! How cool was that? I’m so impressed!

Mom’s such a badass!

“Go back inside,” Mr. Field sighed. “I’ve got something to say.”

Upon hearing this, Charlotte’s body twitched slightly.

Biting her lower lip, she followed the Field family into the house.

Back in the living room, tension hung in the air.

Throughout his entire political career, Mr. Field had held himself to the highest standards. Not only was he honest and incorruptible, but he also had a keen eye for potential and was incredibly adept at putting this ability to good use.

He certainly hadn’t encountered such an incident before.

The little girl who was huddling in a corner of the sofa with her head hung low as though she just made some grave mistake. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

After knowing her for some time, he had a basic understanding of her.

She was polite and hardworking. Even if she didn’t talk much, she was still an extremely obedient child.

Thinking about what she had been through back in the Fraser family simply broke his heart.

“Lottie, it’s been a while since you’ve started living with us. My wife and I know life’s been tough on you in the past. That’s why we’ve never forced you to do anything. However, today’s events have left me rather surprised. Do you mind giving us an explanation?”

By now, Charlotte’s eyes were so bloodshot that they looked like a rabbit’s. After casting a distressed look at Joseph, she lowered her head once more and mumbled, “I… I’m Lochlan’s foster daughter. He’s always been really nice to me. However, Mrs. Fraser didn’t like me and wants me to leave him. I… I didn’t have a home, and I didn’t… know where else to go. I’m… I’m sorry for troubling everyone. I-I’ll move out tomorrow. This is all my fault… I’m so sorry.”

She didn’t want things to turn out like that either.

However, she knew that the Field family had no obligation to protect her. She was nothing but a stranger to them. She had no mother; she had no home. They had done more than enough for her.

They had no reason to continue allowing her to stay here.

Furthermore, her presence would only invite further trouble for them. The Fraser family was extremely powerful. She didn’t the Fields getting angry and worried on her behalf.

Mrs. Fraser was right. I’ll always be a burden.

“Lottie, don’t say things like that. You did nothing wrong. Mrs. Fraser is wrong. She humiliated and hurt you. She’s the one at fault.” Joseph assured her as he grabbed her hand to give her strength. “This is your home. Didn’t you say so earlier?”

“No…” Charlotte protested as she frantically shook her head. This was what Uncle Lochlan said when he brought me back to the Fraser family as well.

But how did things turn out?

After a while, everybody started hating me.

They think I’m stupid because I couldn’t speak properly. They complained I didn’t know how to do anything. I was already trying my best to learn.

I really tried. I want to be just like everyone else as well.

I really do.

Alas, I’m just too stupid. I’ll always be a disappointment.

As the tears streamed down her cheeks, she sobbed, “I’m not a slut! I’m really not… I didn’t seduce Uncle Lochlan…”

Hugging herself, she began mumbling unconsciously, “No… Don’t cut me… Don’t cut me…”
