Chapter 209 Unconventional Methods
In his mind, Agatha was just a girl who dropped out of school early and helped her father in the supermarket, without any education. How could his son possibly lay a hand on such a girl!
When Agatha heard Mason say this, her eyes darkened for a moment. She could naturally sense the disdain Mason was showing towards her.
“Charlotte, for the sake of your useless brother, you must be really troubled. Bringing the witness here, what’s the point? She has already given a statement at the police station, identifying Edward. Now, do you want her to change her testimony to implicate my brother? I have to suspect that you might have already bribed her,” Olivia, who was beside them, couldn’t hold back and countered methodically.
She made a reasonable argument, and the old man couldn’t help but nod. “Charlotte, bringing the witness here, have you not already bought her off in
ance? Then her words can’t be trusted…”
“No one has bought me,” Agatha’s voice rang out coldly at that moment.
She stood expressionless, appearing calm and composed. “Besides, I don’t even know him.”
This “him” naturally referred to Chester.
“There’s really nothing left to say about this matter. If it weren’t for Charlotte threatening me, I wouldn’t have wanted to come at all.” Agatha lowered her eyes, her face displeased. “The person who had ill intentions towards me that night was Edward! I won’t make a mistake, and the evidence is very clear. That’s what I wanted to say.”
After speaking, Agatha looked coldly at Charlotte and tilted her head. “You asked me to tell them, and I’ve said it… Are you satisfied now? Can I go?”
Charlotte stared coldly at her, and his fingers subconsciously clenched into fists.
Benjamin, standing beside him, also had an unfriendly expression as he stared at Agatha.
On the other side, Chester heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Indeed.
Agatha didn’t recognize him.
He had been anxious for a long time.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
Thinking of this, Chester couldn’t help but straighten his posture.
At this moment, Mason burst into laughter. “Charlotte, is this your evidence? Bringing her here, isn’t that asking for trouble?”
Jane also chuckled, her expression instantly lightening. “I thought you’d come up with something different! Fortunately, this witness has principles and won’t let you manipulate her. She has made herself perfectly clear, so don’t keep bothering her.”
Seated right in the center, Old Mr. Bellerose, upon witnessing this, couldn’t help but speak up, “Charlotte, you were so resolute and made big promises, but this is the result? You’ve put so much effort into Edward, that brat, but Chester is your brother… You not only injured him but now also want to accuse him of a crime… Your heart is truly too dark.”
“I have always done what I said,” the old man narrowed his eyes, and his expression suddenly turned stern and cold. “You injured Chester and refused to admit it, and you also couldn’t produce any so–called evidence. So, let’s go with what we agreed upon – you leave the Bellerose Family!”
Leave the Bellerose Family?!
When these words were spoken, most of the people present couldn’t help but feel shocked. They had thought that it was just the old man’s outburst of anger, but they hadn’t expected him to be serious!
Was he really going to drive Charlotte, his granddaughter who had just returned to the family, away?!
However, for the old man, he had truly had enough of Charlotte! He didn’t have much affection for this granddaughter who had been away for over a decade.

However Charlotte had brought him conzzeless tronibles and vexations. Her background and low standards had made him lose face continuously,
Furthermore, during Charlotte’s time bark in the Bellerose Family, the had already caused quite a bit of trouble. In the future, there might be even
more trouble to come!
So, having Charlotte lease the Bellerose Tamily might be a good thing. Moreover, the had already married Max Foster, and a daughter married off is like water poured cat–keeping her around served no real purpose!
If Charlotte had married a husband with mbutantial power and influence, he might have still considered preserving her dignity. But she had married Max, that powerless cripple: Max not only couldn’t help the Bellerose Family, but he also made him lose even more face. Cutting ties with these two would actually be quite nice. It would save them from future entanglements.
Everyone assumed the old man had let his anger get the best of him when he made that statement, but in reality, he was very clear headed. As the head of the family, he was skilled at weighing the pros and cons.
moment, Charlotte directed her gaze at the old man, and her snow–white, beautiful face seemed to have a faint layer of coldness.
For her, whether she stayed in the Bellerose Family or acknowledged her heritage didn’t matter at all.
Even if she severed ties with the Bellerose Family, she could still live quite well
However, the didn’t want Edward to be wrongly accused. She had promised her brother that she would clear his name and restore his innocence.
So, she had to make Agatha tell the truth.
That’s right. Her intuition told her that Agatha hadn’t disclosed all the facts.
She was hiding something.
The first time she met Agatha, this girl displayed very complex emotions upon hearing the name of Edward. It wasn’t just simple hatred, but something more.
Moreover, Charlotte had already concluded that Chester was the one coercing Agatha even when she wasn’t sure of who that person was further telling her she had indeed something going on.
She had to bring the truth to light, bring Chester to bear the consequences he himself had made, and make her brother’s suffering known to all. Charlotte clenched her fists slightly and cast her gaze to the side at Agatha.
She knew that if she used conventional methods, Agatha would still be as stubborn as before and refuse to say a word. So, she had to employ some unconventional methods…
“Agatha Wills,” she suddenly spoke, calling her by her full name.
“Ah, haven’t you given up yet? She’s made it clear. You’re relentlessly pestering her. Are you not tired? It was Edward who did it. Please don’t trouble the victim any further,” Rana taunted loudly upon seeing Charlotte’s unwavering persistence.
“Hurry and send the victim back. As the sister of Edward, you should compensate her properly. Don’t keep pressing her. More questions won’t change the outcome!” Mason smirked, looking at Charlotte with a trace of disdain and contempt in his eyes.
Charlotte paid no attention to their words. She simply stared at Agatha intently.
And Agatha, upon hearing Charlotte call her name, instinctively turned to look at her.
The two women’s gazes collided head–on. Agatha noticed that Charlotte had a pair of exceptionally beautiful and deep eyes. Those profound irises” seemed like an endlessly deep abyss, capable of drawing people in.
In an instant, Agatha was completely entranced. She felt like she had lost her own consciousness and all her awareness. Like a marionette on strings, in her eyes, there was only Charlotte’s pair of eyes.
Thoth eyes deeply captivated her.
Charlotte, seeing Agatha staring motionlessly at her, knew that she had taken the bait.
She raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a very faint smile, and then asked in an exceptionally soft tone, “Agatha, was it really Edward who forced you that night?”
