The slap was so hard that before Charlotte realized it, she already hit the ground.

"You jinx! Do you want to bring the Matthews family down with you? How come we would have such an idiot like you!"

Jamie pointed a shaking hand at her and gritted his teeth.

Charlotte wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth; regardless of the pain, she tried to get up from the ground but failed twice, so she just sat directly on the ground.

"Dad, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"You're still pretending, huh?" Jamie was furious. "You thought I wouldn't find out? You bought and sent the First Snow knockoff to Lyra Carroll, and you posted that video online. Do you hate that Lyra so much that you had to set her up?"

Charlotte sat weakly on the floor, not saying a word.

Seeing her like this, Jamie got even more infuriated.

"If you had succeeded, it would've been fine. But you got set up by others instead and had the Matthews family dragged through the mud along with it! Goddamn stupid!"

Katelyn was watching the drama, occasionally chiming in, "Oh, husband, take it easy. It's bad for your health to get so angry. Not worth it. Charlotte after all is the daughter of a homewrecker, so she only knew the nasty ways. Can't hold a candle to our clever girl Abigail."

Jamie listened, and his disgust for Charlotte was deepened.

"I shouldn't have kept you alive in the first place and let you grow up to harm our family!"

Charlotte listened to the couple's invective, and suddenly felt the irony of it all in her heart.

This was her real father, her blood relative, who would rather that she died.

She struggled to get up from the ground, and despite the swelling of her left cheek, she still raised her chin high, ferocity flashing across her eyes.

"Unfortunately, no matter how you dislike me or even hate me, you still have to count on me to help the Matton Corp. Does this make you even angrier?"

"Shut up!"

Jamie's eyes widened in anger and he raised his hand, ready to hit again.

Instead of dodging, Charlotte moved a bit closer to Jamie and she taunted, "Go ahead, you'd better beat me to death! Then you can wait for the Matthews family to be kicked out from the upper circle! Remember, the Matthews family would be ruined in your hands. How does that feel, huh? "
