Chapter 66
Karen did not want to talk with Charlie. She sat still and said, "But I don't want to hear it."
"Do you believe that I'll let Kevin crawl out of the banquet tonight?" Charlie sneered and left.
"You—" Charlie's threat made Karen lose her confidence. Thinking of Charlie's personality, he always does what he wants, she dared not imagine what Charlie would do to Kevin. She did not want to risk it, so she had to follow him.
The banquet hall was on the second floor. There was a balcony beside the resting room. The light was not very good. Charlie had already aimed for this place clearly, so he brought Karen here.
Karen looked around. Although the balcony was dim, there were people passing by from time to time. She thought that Charlie would not dare to do anything, so she followed him.
Charlie looked back at her with the up and down eyes. "Karen, you looked more beautiful."
Charlie thought she was charming, but Karen felt disgusted after hearing that.
She really wanted to turn around and leave, but she was worried that Charlie would really do something to Kevin. She treated him coldly. She didn't even want to have any eye contact with him.
Seeing how Karen was so indifferent, Charlie's anger rose again. He sneered and said, "Kevin is just the president of a small company. Many people can step on him. Don't be too naive to think that he is a high-class person just because he can take you to this banquet."
Karen never thought it was good to be an upper-class person. She just wanted to live a quiet life, far away from scheming, betrayal, and all the painful memories of the past. She wanted to live a quiet life with Kevin.
Charlie thought that he had convinced Karen because she did not refute him, so he continued to say, "You should know that since my company announced that we will no longer cooperate with Innovative Tech, many companies are unwilling to cooperate with them. Do you know why? Because Innovative Tech will never be able to compare with the Gook Corp. Kevin will be trampled by me."
Kevin's identity did not matter at all. No matter who he was, Kevin remained her husband.
Even if Charlie was right, compared with Gook Corp, the financial ability of Innovative Tech was much weaker. But so what?
In her mind, Kevin was so much better than Charlie in terms of character and knowledge.
Karen was still silent. Charlie also realized that she was not moved by him, she was just not willing to talk to him at all. He clenched his fists and continued, "Do you know that your sister Kristine also came to Chatterton Town? Your father asked her to come here."
Karen was uncomfortable hearing the name she tried so hard to forget. It was painful and bitter. The past popped up in her mind uncontrollably.
She still remembered that day, her sister cried and knelt down to ask for her forgiveness, for being involved with Charlie and that they should not have been discovered by their parents.
However, the Gook Family and Karen's parents could not see the pain in Karen's heart. They only rushed to protect her sister.
Karen could not remember what they said clearly. She only remembered what Charlie's mother said. "Kristine, you are pregnant. Even if you don't care about your body, you should think about the child."
At that time, Karen only found out that her sister and her fiance even had a child.
She held the design of her wedding dress in her hands. She wanted to give Charlie a surprise, but she didn't expect that they would give her a bigger "surprise".
Later, she became a shameless person who was said to seduce her sister's fiance. She was abused online and searched by others. She did not dare to go out.
"I know, you definitely don't want to see her, but you are sisters. You can't avoid her forever." Charlie obviously knew this was the pain in Karen's heart, but he had to bring up her scars.
"Sister? My sister died three years ago." They could do that behind her back and then frame her like that. For her, those people had nothing to do with her anymore.
If Kristine didn't respect her, why should she call her sister?
"Your sister died in your heart?" Charlie looked at Karen and mocked her, "What about your mother? Is she the same as your sister in your heart?"
He spoke very slowly, and each word was like a poison. Karen felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she couldn't say a word.
Charlie added, "After you left, your mother was very sad and couldn't take it. She lay in bed for three years."
Karen was suddenly reminded when she was a kid, her mother always touched her head and said, "Our dear Karen is the most sensible. You will definitely be more caring when you grow up."
Karen still remembered her mother's helpless and distressed look when she was framed three years ago.
Her mother really loved her, but she had no choice. Her weak and incompetent mother could only sit there and cry all night.
Her mother prayed to her father to not force her again, and her mother also prayed to Charlie to let go of her sister and Karen.
However, no one could help her mother, even though her mother's eyes were swollen from crying and her voice was begging.
Karen left Beaford City in a mess.
Perhaps her mother would get sick because she felt that she couldn't even protect her daughter well and that she was useless.
Karen didn't want to cry, but she was so distressed that she shed tears. That was her mother, and she loved her mother the most. Even if she couldn't stop anything in the past, Karen still couldn't blame her.
"You also know the nature of your Daly Family. Your mother has been lying in the hospital for three years. Can your family afford it without the support of the Gook family?" Charlie continued to say, purposefully inflicting pain onto Karen.
In the past three years, she didn't care about anything that happened between the Gook family and the Daly family. She almost cut off all contact with everyone in Beaford City. Therefore, she didn't even know that her mother was sick.
Karen could blame her father and her sister for being heartless, but she could not blame her mother.
Karen had a hard time holding her tears. Her body trembled slightly. Charlie took the opportunity to hold her in his arms and patted her back gently. "Don't be sad, I am still here. I will always back you up."
Karen was suddenly hugged by Charlie and struggled to push him away, but he held her even tighter. He blurted out threateningly, "Karen if you don't listen to me, what should I do with your mother?"
