Chapter 199: Cursed Woman
“You?” Charlotte slowly slowed down.
Thinking about what he had just done to her…
Her face was a shade of red and a shade of white that could be described as a brilliant combination.
“Why the punishment?” She squeezed her fingers tightly, her head still in turmoil. “Why use…”
Why did he punish her like this?
lotte was really embarrassed to ask about the rest.
She was indeed a bit confused.
Before today, in her eyes, Max was a person who was sometimes clear and gentle, and sometimes indifferent and domineering.
In front of her, he was hardly aggressive at all.
But today, for the first time, she experienced the almost predatory aggressiveness of Max, as well as the danger that could make people sink.
The man in front of her looked down at her.
The light of his deep, dull eyes accidentally landed on Charlotte’s slightly red lips.
There was still a trace of piercing blood.
It had been bitten out by him.
Max’s eyes became a bit darker.
“Don’t ignore me anymore.” His voice was still clear and pleasant, but at this moment it was tinged with a few points of hoarseness.
His voice fell into Charlotte’s ears and inexplicably arose a deadly magnetism.
She froze.
She did not know what to do.
Max’s eyes, however, were fixed on her.
Back at the Foster family mansion, he had already sensed that something was wrong.
He felt that Charlotte was vaguely rejecting, avoiding, and ignoring him.
Then, when she returned to Greenside Garden, she had actually planned to ignore him and simply leave the place without saying a word.
A strange emotion was immediately ignited in his heart.
Half impulsively, half soberly, he did what he just did.
He did not know why, but he decided to do it.
On his lips, he said it was a punishment, but his heart was piled with layers and layers of chaos.
All he knew was that he did not want Charlotte to ignore him.
She could dislike him, but she couldn’t be cold and avoid him.
“Since I’ve already been punished, can I go now?” Suddenly, she pursed her lips and asked in a weak voice.
Her face had gradually calmed down, her eyes cold and focused as she looked at the man in front of her.

Max’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He turned his head away, no longer looking at her, and his thin lips spat out two words: “Go ahead.”
The man’s graceful jawline, bathed in moonlight, looked especially mysterious and elegant.
Charlotte glanced at him, then stood and pulled away from him.
“I’ll be back.”
With that, she turned her head and walked away.
Max heard this but suddenly turned his head to the side.
looked at her increasingly distant back, the light and shadows surging in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Charlotte got into the car quickly.
She sat in the back seat and couldn’t help but close her eyes.
In her mind, she was still replaying the scene…
It was killing her.
Why did she have to think about it?
It was just a punishment.
Even, it could only be described as a bad idea by Max.
It did not mean anything…
She closed her eyes and slowly let her mind settle.
Unconsciously, the car had already entered Brighton Bay,
“Madam, we are here.”
The
driver’s deep, polite voice rang in her ears and Charlotte’s eyes snapped open.
Seeing the villa outside the car window, she unbuckled her seatbelt, then opened the car door and stepped out.
Just as she got out of the car, a servant came to open the door.
“Miss, you’re here.” He methodically opened the metal gate. “I just got orders that you were coming back, so I stood guard to open the door for you.”
Charlotte just nodded slightly.
She thought to herself. It should have been her dad who ordered the servants to open the door for her.
She went through the gate and then entered the villa with hurried steps.
She was desperate to know the truth about what happened to Edward.
“What are you doing here so late? Are you not going to let anyone sleep?”
At that moment, a sharp and piercing female voice sounded.
Charlotte raised her eyes slightly and looked in the direction the voice was coming from.
Vanessa, dressed in a wide robe, was standing on the stairs to the second floor, looking at her with an unhappy expression on her face.
She frowned, the mania under her eyes was intense.
It was obvious that Vanessa was in a very bad mood.

It seemed that it wasn’t just because of Charlotte’s arrival, maybe there were other reasons.
For example, Edward.
“Okay, why are you so angry at Charlotte…” On the other side, Christopher had just come out of his room, and when he saw the mother and daughter facing each other and looking like they were going to start fighting, he couldn’t help but reprimand her.
“You’re a cursed woman!” Vanessa bit her lips tightly, her eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears in them.
She was staring straight at Charlotte, and there was an intense hatred in her eyes.
That’s right, it was hate.
She really saw that emotion in Vanessa’s eyes.
“Since you came back, I haven’t encountered any good things, only bad things! There really hasn’t been a moment of peace!” Her eyes reddened, almost hysterical with emotion.
Her sharp eyes shot straight at Charlotte, and her face was somewhat ferocious. “Eleanor’s body is getting worse and worse because of you, and now even Edward…”
By the end, Vanessa was sobbing uncontrollably.
Her tears rolled out, and while shedding tears, she gritted her teeth and glared at Charlotte.
“You…” Christopher couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw her in this state. “What does this have to do with Charlotte?”
“She has everything to do with it!” Vanessa yelled regardless, yelled regardless, with an almost twisted expression. “It would be great if she did not come back… It was so good before… How great would it be without her here? What are you going to do when you come back?”
“You seemed to be cursed with misfortune, causing our whole family to not live in peace. You are really shameless!”
All these words fell into Charlotte’s ears.
Her face did not move, but the fingers hanging at her side could not help but tighten slightly.
“Why are you saying that?” Christopher’s eyebrows were furrowed, and his complexion was unpleasant. “Charlotte didn’t do anything wrong…”
“Dad.” At this moment, Charlotte, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, interrupting the two of them.
Se pursed her lips, her face indifferent as she walked up to them.
Vanessa glared at her with crimson eyes, as if she was about to pounce on her and bite her any moment.
Christopher, on the other hand, had a helpless and pained look on his face.
There was an emaciated greenish–black color under his eyes.
It looked like he hadn’t slept well in the past few days.
“What exactly happened to my brother?” Charlotte looked at her father and asked word for word.
Otherwise, she did not care, the most important thing at the moment-
-was Edward.
“What does it have to do with you?” Without waiting for Christopher to answer, Vanessa flushed and shouted, her emotions very unstable, “You still have the nerve to ask?”
“No matter what, I will help my brother,” Charlotte said with a calm forehead, her voice hitting the ground and silencing Vanessa’s scream.
aren’t you?” “Help?” Vanessa sniffed as if she had heard some kind of joke. She snorted coldly and said through clenched teeth, “You can help us by not showing up in front of us! What are you doing running back here in the middle of the night? You are deliberately annoying me,
