Chapter 71: No One Can Restrain You
After being apart for several days, Charlotte returned to the villa by the Brighton Bay.
As the door opened, the one to welcome her was unexpectedly Edward.
“Charlotte,” The young boy’s eyes sparkled with a faint joy.
It had been a long time since he had seen Charlotte.
“Edward,” Charlotte smiled at him and proceeded to walk inside-

wever, Edward stood in front of her, blocking her way.
“Sister,” he pursed his lips, hesitating, “Mom and Dad are a little upset right now… Don’t mind what they say.”
Edward spoke firmly, continuing, “No matter what, I’ll always stand by your side, sister.”
Charlotte patted his shoulder and said, “I know.”
This younger brother was becoming more and more adorable.
They walked into the hall together.
The atmosphere here was cold and heavy.
Vanessa sat on the sofa with a grim face, and Christopher also frowned, looking troubled.
Eleanor, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, standing silently on the side.
Seeing Charlotte enter, she gave her a cold glance.
“Bang!”
Vanessa didn’t say a word. She picked up a vase at hand and aimed it straight at Charlotte-
Fortunately, Charlotte was agile, swiftly dodging this dangerous attack with a graceful move to the side. The vase hit the floor and shattered with a sound.
“You jinx!” Vanessa gritted her teeth, glaring at her, as if she would tear her apart the next second.
Charlotte could only sense the irony.
Her biological mother seemed like her greatest enemy.
If it were Eleanor who had angered the Larson family, would Vanessa be this angry?
In her previous life, Charlotte had come to understand that Vanessa held no shred of motherly love for her.
In this life, she wouldn’t hope for any change in Vanessa’s attitude towards her.
“Mom, can’t we talk things through?” Seeing Vanessa directly using the vase to attack Charlotte, Edward couldn’t help but clench his fists, frowning, “What if she got really hurt?”
“Getting hurt would be best!” Vanessa responded without changing her expression. “This way, it would be a reckoning for the Larson family.”
“Alright, calm down first. No matter what, we shouldn’t resort to violence,” Christopher also advised from the side. Then he sighed, furrowing his brow as he looked at Charlotte.
“Charlotte, how did you end up crossing paths with someone from the Larson family? This Larson family… Dad doesn’t even know if he can protect you…
Just then, a call came in.
Just then, a call came in.

Vanessa inmediately picked it up.
Upon hearing the voice on the phone, her face grew even darker. Finally, she responded, “I understand, I’ll bring her over immediately.”
After speaking, she hung up.
Vanessa’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, piercing straight toward Charlotte. “The Larson family’s lady is already at the ancestral home, and she wants to see you.”
“Really?” Christopher stared wide–eyed in disbelief.
The fact that the lady of the Larson family had come herself made the situation even more serious.
Now, no one can save you!” Vanessa said with a resentful expression. “Your only option is to go beg Old Mr. Foster; if he steps in, the Larson family
ont be a threat.”
For Vanessa, she didn’t care at all about Charlotte’s life or death; she was only afraid that Charlotte’s recklessness would drag them down.
“No need to ask others,” Charlotte said with a cold tone and a faint expression. “I’ll go see Mrs. Larson.”
“You’re quite brave!” Vanessa sneered at her. “You’ll be crying later!”
Christopher and Vanessa then prepared to take Charlotte to the ancestral home.
Edward also wanted to go with them.
But Charlotte stopped him. “Edward, just stay at home.”
“But…” Worry filled Edward’s eyes; he was afraid his sister would be mistreated at the ancestral home. “I’m worried about you…”
