Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 147 Not Sisters Anymore

Erin felt a faint sense of joy upon hearing her mother scold her aunt. She was afraid that Cherry wouldn’t react to anything at all. Her being furious showed that there was still some hope for things to turn around.

Seeing her sister finally saying something, Charlotte’s face also lit up. “You’re right! I deserve to be reprimanded harshly. I was foolish for doing something so disgraceful! But, my dear sister, please! Please don’t take your own life so carelessly! If you really die, my conscience will never find peace in this lifetime.”

Erin frowned as she looked at the sobbing Charlotte, feeling disdainful in her heart. Charlotte seemed decent on the surface, and Erin hadn’t heard of her being involved with any men during the years of her widowhood. But now, she suddenly had an affair with her brother- in–law. It instantly diminished her character and moral integrity.

She couldn’t help but feel a sense of contempt for her aunt, who was also an elder in her family and was supposed to be a role model.

Moreover, Charlotte had truly hurt Cherry and indirectly harmed her and Gavin.

“Charlotte, you have no conscience! Who helped you find a job when you were laid off recently? When you found it too tiring and didn’t want to work, I let you help out at my mart and paid you a monthly salary of three thousand dollars. That isn’t a small amount in Southwrok County! But you go and sleep with my man? Have you no shame, you ungrateful wench?” Cherry started scolding Charlotte

with her eyes all swollen and red.

She remembered last night when she went to deliver supper and saw Grayson and Charlotte bumping uglies in the storage room. It made her sick. At that time, Charlotte and Grayson had only taken off their pants, and they humped away like two mating dogs lying on a

But I never expected your brother to take me to the hospital and prevent me from dying. Now that I’ve vented all my anger, I’ve come to terms with this situation.” Cherry looked as if she’d
