BXBX NOVEL Chapter 492: 435: Feeling A Bit Sorry For You
Gael Easton had arranged for the helicopter in M Continent, but it needed coordination domestically.
After some contact with M Continent, Gael Easton got in touch with Harton Clark.
Domestically, everything was always managed by Harton Clark and William Lane, completely independent of their respective families, with power held in their hands.
With William Lane injured, Gael Easton eventually had to contact Harton Clark.
By the time they were in contact, Harton Clark had already arranged everything.
When Harton Clark and Daisy Zane came to pick people up from the rooftop, they found that Gael Easton had also come along.
“Daisy,” Sophie said as she spotted her and immediately walked towards her.
Andrew followed her quickly.
“Daisy,” Sophie held her hand, “What’s the current situation?”
Charlotte Lane glanced at the couple and then shouted, “Mom and Dad, my brother’s condition is more serious, but the rest is fine.”
She had always been afraid that she wouldn’t know how to get along with them.
For ten years, she had no concept of family or blood relationship.
But in reality, once she recalled everything and saw them, all worries were unnecessary.
She knew that her parents loved her very much.
She loved them too.
Andrew and Sophie were stunned and didn’t even hear what she said next clearly.
After a while, Sophie finally said, “Lila, Lila.”
After calling out to her, she hugged her tightly, “Lila, my Lila has returned.”
Andrew wiped his eyes, wanting to hug both of them, but considering that Charlotte had grown up and had been away from home for over ten years,
he worried that being too enthusiastic would make her uncomfortable. So he just pinched her shoulder.
After a brief reunion on the rooftop, Charlotte led them to see William Lane and Olivia Lane.
“Grandfather’s blood pressure is high,” Charlotte said, “I admitted him to the hospital as well.”
“Good, good,” Andrew replied, “He listens to you. He doesn’t listen to anything we say.”
The family of three walked towards the hospital, completely ignoring Harton Clark, who hesitated for a moment and then silently followed them.
Just as he took two steps, he was suddenly stopped.
Harton Clark turned around, frowning when he saw Gael Easton.
He almost forgot that this person had been ignored too.
Gael Easton ignored Harton Clark’s disgusted look, asking, “When did this little girl get parents?”
Harton Clark pulled out his arm.
“Are they adopted?” Gael Easton asked, “Why adopt her?”
Harton Clark:
“She’s already married into the Clark family, so what’s the point of recognizing Lane family’s parents?” Gael Easton said, “She wants both the families in Imperial City to belong to her!”
Harton Clark thought that Gael Easton had some intelligence, but not much.
“Say something,” Gael Easton pressed his long hair blown by the wind back.
“Biological.”
Harton Clark threw the two words at him and planned to leave, but Gael Easton stopped him again.
“Biological?!” Gael Easton couldn’t believe what he’d heard, “What kind of ‘biological’? Who’s biological? Who’s related to whom?”
Harton Clark:
Gael Easton saw that Harton Clark looked disgusted and speechless, so he let go of him and said, “I can’t believe the little girl actually has parents.”
Harton Clark wondered how the little girl had endured all these years without killing him.
“Damn, I always thought she was wild,” Gael Easton said, “Didn’t you think so?”
“I didn’t,” Harton Clark said in a deep voice.
Gael Easton glanced at him and continued, “Then isn’t she the daughter of the Lane family?”
Harton Clark ignored him.
“Wow, she has such a huge background? Born at the pinnacle,” Gael Easton said, “It’s just that she stood at the pinnacle for too long, fell down for a bit, and hurt herself pretty badly. The daughter of the Imperial City Lane family, she definitely won’t look up to me now.”
“To correct you, she never looked up to you,” said Harton Clark.
“How do you know she’s never been interested in me?” Gael Easton looked at him, “You, the Third Master of the Clark Family in Imperial City, and I, the royal heir of the M Continent, are not that different. She wouldn’t be interested in a spoiled brat like you either.”
“You’re not the heir yet.”
“Why do you talk so harshly?” Gael Easton complained.
“Facing you, do you think I can say anything nice?” Kevin Clark replied.
Charlotte Lane accompanied her parents, Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, for quite a while.
Seeing that Kevin Clark had not come over, she sent him a message.
Kevin Clark replied: [I’m entertaining Gael Easton. He hasn’t been around in a long time, and he brought my uncle and aunt here this time. I should be playing the host role.]
Charlotte Lane could sense something unusual about his hosting, but she didn’t pay too much attention to it.
It wasn’t until Andrew Lane remembered Gael Easton that she went to look for them on the rooftop.
Then she saw Kevin Clark standing by the edge of the rooftop smoking, while Gael Easton sat on the ground five meters away from him, apparently missing a button on his shirt.
His relatively long hair was also somewhat messy.
It seemed like he… was a bit autistic.
Both men looked up as they heard footsteps.
Kevin Clark quickly put out the cigarette and moved a few steps to the side before throwing the cigarette into a trash can, and then walked towards Charlotte Lane.
“Little girl.”
Charlotte Lane glanced at Kevin Clark’s rolled-up shirt sleeves, then looked at Gael Easton sitting on the ground, and asked, “Did you guys fight?”
“How could we?”
As Kevin Clark’s voice fell, Gael Easton stood up and began to rant, “Why not? You little brat, do you know how scary he is?”
Charlotte Lane didn’t say anything.
She knew Kevin Clark could be ruthless when dealing with enemies.
“He almost threw me off the roof.” Gael Easton walked towards her and stopped halfway, pointing down from the edge of the rooftop, “Do you know how high this is?”
“This is the top floor of a twenty-nine-story building,” Charlotte Lane answered calmly.
Gael Easton was choked: “Am I asking you where we are?”
“No,” Charlotte Lane said, “You’re asking how high this is.”
“You, you two…” Gael Easton pointed at them and said, “What a sinister couple.”
Charlotte Lane looked him over: “At least you’re not injured.”
“Damn, you really have the nerve to say that.” Gael Easton pointed at Kevin Clark, “He does psychological damage!”
Gael Easton immediately thumped his chest and coughed twice, “I can’t take it anymore, I need to go get an X-ray.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew Lane came up: “Mr. Easton.”
Gael Easton immediately straightened up, his expression and demeanor becoming more polite, and he even stopped ranting, smiling warmly. “Uncle Lane.”
Kevin Clark:
Charlotte Lane:
“Mr. Easton, I apologize for any rudeness. I was in a rush.” Andrew Lane personally came to greet him, giving Gael Easton a lot of face.
“Uncle Lane, you’re too polite.” Gael Easton walked towards him, and halfway there, he raised an eyebrow at Kevin Clark smugly, “I’m fine, I and Charlotte are very close, you don’t need to be so polite.”
Andrew Lane escorted Gael Easton away and glared at Kevin Clark before leaving.
Kevin Clark saw the murderous intent in the eyes of a doting father.
With the two people gone, only Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane were left on the rooftop.
After staring at each other for a while, Kevin Clark said, “I was wrong.”
Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows, “What did you do wrong?”
“I shouldn’t have used force,” Kevin Clark said, “I should have stuffed Gael Easton back in the helicopter before it left.”
Charlotte Lane laughed, then said, “Third Uncle, suddenly, I feel a bit sorry for you.”
She was referring to her father’s attitude.
Kevin Clark:
“If you want to call me Third Uncle, then don’t bother feeling sorry for me.” After Kevin Clark finished speaking, he bit her lips gently.
And then… Charlotte Lane laughed out loud.
