Chapter32
Erin said, “You’ve come back from Pollard family’s old residence
many times. You don’t even walk properly.“Hearing this,
Lottie’s body stiffened. Her gaze slowly shifted to Corinne, who
was not far away.
Corinne avoided her gaze guiltily.
Lottie understood everything. Erin had seen through her bluff
all those years. However, smart people would always see through it and not expose it unless it was a critical moment.
Her face was slightly pale. She loosened her tightly clenched fists and suddenly had a rebellious thought. “How long did you
mean by temporary?”
“I’ll arrange it as soon as possible.”
“Five million.““”What did you say?”
Lottie did not seem to notice Erin’s surprise. He said calmly, “Two apartments in Fairmont Avenue, plus five million.”
Of course, she knew that she was asking for an exorbitant price, but that was what she said. She was actually a person who could be persuaded but not coerced. If Erin used Zhou Erma’s
Chapter32
body as an example, she might have agreed without hesitation.
However, she was too resistant to this kind of weakness being
pinched by others. She even looked down on her as if she had all
the advantages.
It was very similar to Shang Erma’s style. She was not as good as
Pollard family’s dog, but in the eyes of others, she owed him a
huge favor for raising her and should be grateful.
“Do you know what you’re talking about?! Ungrateful!“Erin was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He grabbed the teacup and threw it out. It landed on the ground with a muffled sound.
The tea quickly soaked the wool carpet, making it a mess.
Just like how the marriage ended.
It was very ugly.
A voice suddenly came from the entrance. A black Maybach was parked in the courtyard.
No one knew when Nigel had returned.There was a hint of fatigue on his handsome face. He casually put his coat on the crook of his arm. When he saw the scene in the living room, he frowned slightly and glanced at Erin. “Mom, why are you
Chapter32
throwing a tantrum at Lottie?”
Erin was furious. He wanted to say something but could not. He
could only say angrily, “Why would I lose my temper at her for
no reason?”
This time, Lottie was not as sensible as usual and did not take
over the conversation to resolve the awkwardness.
She lowered her eyes and remained silent.
The warm light of winter shone on her face through the French
windows. Even the fur on her fair and translucent skin could be
seen clearly. Her long eyelashes were covered, and her black
hair fell on her shoulders. She was as obedient and docile as her
personality.
The only thing Nigel could think of that would make Erin angry
was Esther’s WeChat Moments last night.Lottie was just
shouldering their anger for no reason.
He strode over and grabbed Lottie’s arm, blocking her behind
him. He did not allow her to retort. “No matter what you’re
angry about, please respect me and her.”
Lottie was a little surprised.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the man’s broad back.
Chapter32
Unexpectedly, she recalled the scene of him blocking Esther
behind him at the old residence of Mathis family.
He did not give any explanation.
Lottie thought that he was really a good person. Even if he had
never had any feelings for her, he did not mind protecting
her.Erin glared at Nigel and stood up angrily. “You’ve grown up
now. You’re always siding with outsiders!”
He picked up his bag and left.
As she walked to the entrance, she changed her shoes and
looked back at Lottie. “I’ll make arrangements for what
happened just now.“”
“Okay, thank you, Mom.”
Lottie stood up and walked over to send her off. “Then the
divorce certificate…”
“When it’s done, get someone to send it to you.“Erin was still
angry. He said this in an unfriendly tone and left in his high
heels.
Lottie heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and met Nigel’s
puzzled expression.
Chapter32
“Certification?”
“Yes, a visa.”
Lottie casually made up a story. “Nancy asked me to travel to
Europe. I didn’t want to go because it was too troublesome. Mom
heard about it and said that she would arrange for someone to
help me settle it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang.
-5,142,480 yuan.
Nigel stopped asking and brought up what happened last night. “Didn’t you say you were looking for me for something? What’s the matter?”
Hearing this, Lottie was slightly stunned. He pursed his lips. “It’s about the visa. I thought it would save me some trouble if I asked you for help.“”Am I late?”
