Chapter 442: Verbal War

Anger immediately surged in Charlottes heart.

She was never willing to hold her tongue, so she immediately retorted sneeringly, “Aunt Gretchen, youd better worry about your own daughter! Nikki is half a year older than me, and she doesnt have a boyfriend either.

If you are so worried about women being left on the shelf, quickly find a man for your daughter to marry!”

Gretchen was so furious that she choked.

Indeed, her daughter Nikki was half a year older than Charlotte, so if Gretchen thought that Charlotte was too old to be staying single, she was just slapping herself in the face because Nikki was older!

After a while, Gretchen continued, “Hah, I dont need to worry about Nikki at all.

Shes now very close to the scions of the wealthy families in LA.

They love hanging out with her, and maybe one day, shell marry a rich man! Unlike someone whos so blind as to marry a penniless good-for-nothing that freeloads off of her even though shes such a great catch herself!”

Cheyenne immediately remembered the scene last night where Nikki was with the scions in the restaurant and couldnt help sneering. Nikki was clearly sucking up to them.

You call that being close

Charlotte wasnt aware of this, but she was even more displeased to see Gretchen begin making indirect snide remarks at her sister and brother-in-law.

She suddenly smiled.

“Aunt Gretchen, are you particularly fond of having a scion of a wealthy family as a son-in-law When you married Uncle Justin back then, he was a scion too, but Ive heard that hes gotten himself a mistress and that its been a long time since he bothered to talk to you.

I heard youre getting a divorce too! Aunt Gretchen, surely that isnt true, is it”

The news that Charlotte suddenly exposed aroused their relatives interest for gossip.

They immediately looked at Gretchen excitedly while some also began whispering among themselves.

Most people would be interested in such gossip.

Charlotte wasnt spouting nonsense either.

Yesterday afternoon, Justin Heron had made a visit to the Turner residence, but he didnt stay long and soon received a call.

Later, he said that he had something to do in the office and left.

When he was on the phone, Charlotte happened to be outside at the time, with only a tree separating her and Justin.

Perhaps because he didnt see Charlotte and thought that it would be safe since he was outside, he spoke freely without restraint, thus causing Charlotte to hear some things she shouldnt have.

For example, he said things like,Sweetie, I miss you too andOnce I divorce that woman, Ill marry you immediately, which made Charlotte feel so disgusted that she almost washed her ears.

She felt that her ears were marred by what she heard!

Charlotte didnt want to bring up these shameful things at first, but Gretchen just had to act like a mad dog and kept nitpicking on her and Cheyenne.

Charlotte had always been feisty and assertive, so she would definitely retaliate against anyone who repeatedly criticized her just to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Gretchens expression instantly changed!

She had known for a long time about her husbands affair.

In fact, she had kicked up a fuss about it in the beginning, but all she got in return was a heartless reply from Justin—”I lost my feelings for you a long time ago.

If you cant stand it, lets get a divorce, and youll get lost from the Heron family immediately!”

How could she bear to leave the Heron family They were at least a second-tier family in LA, which was much better than the Turners.

If she divorced Justin, what would life be like for her in the future

So she had no choice but to force herself to turn a blind eye to his affair and curb her anger while pretending like she wasnt aware of the existence of his mistress.

But Justins mistress was getting more and more overboard.

She wasnt willing to only be his clandestine lover and instead wanted him to marry her.

So she had been urging Justin to divorce Gretchen.

Gretchen naturally refused, so Justin went more and more overboard.

Not only did he give her the cold shoulder, but he also stayed outside with his mistress every single day.

Whenever he saw Gretchen, he would treat her with a harsh attitude and urge her to quickly agree to the divorce.

But Justin still cared about his pride after all and didnt make this matter known to everyone.

And Gretchen naturally wouldnt wash their dirty linen in public and instead pretended like she had a blissful family with an impressive husband to continue making others green with envy.

She had also been indulging in her delusions by choosing to ignore the truth.

But the truth she had painstakingly covered up was now exposed by Charlotte!

Boiling with fury, Gretchen pointed at Charlotte and barked, “Im going to slap your mouth! What kind of nonsense are you spouting Im your elder, and youre talking to me like that.

Youre so ill-mannered!”

After scolding Charlotte, she poked the side of Karens face.

“Very good.

So much for treating you like my older sister, Karen Turner.

Is this how you teach your daughter Did you teach her to say those words too Did you deliberately say those words to slander me because youre jealous of my blissful life!”

After lashing out at her ferociously, Gretchen suddenly looked aggrieved again as she turned to Eddie and her mother.

She griped, “Dad, Mom, you two must do me justice! I came here with good intentions to attend Dylans wedding, and yet my niece has bullied me so harshly.

Shes completely insulted my dignity as her elder.

How can I continue living like this!”

Gretchen sat down and patted her thighs while bawling loudly, completely losing her demeanor as an upper-class lady.

Cheyenne and Charlotte watched coldly and felt that Gretchens behavior was exactly the same as when Karen threw tantrums.

Indeed, they were sisters.

The guests around were a little surprised, but none of them intervened.

After all, it was the Turners family matters, and it wasnt appropriate for them to intervene.

They merely stood at the side and enjoyed the show while gossiping and pretending to persuade them.

“Enough!” Eddie hollered loudly.

He glared at his youngest daughter, Gretchen, who made him feel incredibly humiliated and embarrassed.

“Youre already almost fifty.

What are you doing sitting on the ground and crying Quickly get up and stop making a fool of yourself!”

Gretchens crying stopped immediately.

She was rather afraid of Eddie and didnt dare to disobey him, so she got up from the ground awkwardly.

But as soon as she saw the strange looks from the people around her, she put all the blame on Charlotte and glowered at her menacingly.

Charlotte was about to say a few more words to retaliate, but Cheyenne stopped her.

“Forget it, Charlotte.

Dont bother with her.”

Although Eddie just reprimanded Gretchen, it was because he found it really disgraceful of her to be crying and complaining in public like a shrew.

But if Charlotte continued to make malicious remarks, he would definitely reprimand her for being disrespectful too.

At this moment, a blue Porsche came to a halt slowly in front of the hotel.

When the door opened, a man dressed in a long gray trench coat stepped out of the car and walked toward them.

“Wow!” The guests around them widened their eyes and gasped in shock and amazement when they saw him.
