Chapter 330
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then relaxed and said, “Lead the way.”
The waitress took her to the second floor of the restaurant, where Reynald was sitting by the window, and his view, indeed,
could see her.
After the waitress took the tip and left, Reynald looked at her, still smiling, “Do you want something to drink? The silver needle jasmine tea in this restaurant is pretty good, you can give it a try.”
“Thanks, but no thanks.” Charlotte sat down across from him, with a bit more politeness than before, “I’m not drinking anything.”
He lowered his head, “I know you’re mad at me, but I still want to say sorry to you, and to Auntie.”
She furrowed her brows, lifted her head and looked at him, “It’s all in the past.”
She said these four words calmly, as if she had let go, but he knew she hadn’t really let go.
“Charlotte, let me tell you a story,” Reynald said, holding tightly onto his teacup. He described A and B as two comrades in arms, not blood brothers, but closer than blood brothers.
At first, A came from a prestigious family, but didn’t look down on B. In B’s eyes, A didn’t have the attitude of a rich kid, instead, he was polite, courageous, and responsible.
The two of them became inseparable confidants, and A also became B’s most trusted person.
B’s sister had a crush on A, and A also had feelings for her, but the sister was worried because of his prominent status. However, A promised to convince his family and marry her.”
The two of them fell in love for five years under the witness of B, and soon after, the younger sister got pregnant.
I thought A would come back to fulfill his promise after returning to Boston, but he disappeared without a trace.
My sister had a baby girl on her own, but because she was unmarried, the baby couldn’t be listed in the family register. B couldn’t believe his own good brother would let down his own sister like that, so he took her to Boston.
He took his sister to A’s house, but was kicked out and insulted by A’s father. B was upset about this, he tried many ways to see A, he just wanted to ask A’s opinion, that’s all.
B settled in Boston with her sister, “they were in a strange place and had to rely on each other to make a living and raise the children.”
One day, A had a grand wedding in Boston, marrying the daughter of a Southern business tycoon.
The disappointed sister was devastated, crying all the time and getting weaker and weaker.
For his sister, B finally had the chance to flag down A’s car on the road.
He questioned A why she had let down her sister’s sincerity, but A’s response was that he needed a wife who could support him in the family, not a wife who needed support from his family.
A’s answer completely crushed B’s hopes and left B disappointed. B never really understood A, nor saw through A.
Between two people, there has always been a class difference since birth.
A didn’t mind being friends with B, or B’s sister falling in love with B, because A knew that “interests always come before friends and lovers.”
Later on, “B” and “A“had a complete falling out. When the siblings were about to give up in Boston, they were fortunate to meet a benefactor. Their later success was all thanks to the help of this benefactor.

Although B was making progress in Boston and standing on her own feet, A never acknowledged that girl’s bloodline. A never came to visit until B passed away.
