Chapter 360
The man was surprised when he heard this, “Do you think she can tolerate insults and abuse because she cares more about power and status? If that’s the case, then she doesn’t need to tolerate it. After all, your grandmother loves her so much, why would she put up with all this? It’s pointless!”
Jaxson’s knobby fingers gripped the base of the glass, saying nothing.
He continued, “So many women wanted to marry into the Hamilton family, including Caroline, but couldn’t get in. And yet your grandmother chose
Charlotte.”
“Your grandma, with her sharp eyes, you know she can totally see through Charlotte, right? But she still let Charlotte in, which means Charlotte is not as shallow as she seems.”
Jaxson pursed his thin lips, over the years his disgust towards the Sutton family was just Gustavo constantly asking for benefits as his father–in–law.
Charlotte only asked him once, and he knew she was asking for the Sutton family.
And over the years, he did look down on the Sutton family’s “rise of the small–minded.”
What else did Charlotte do besides Gustavo?
She had no connection with the Hamilton family, kept her relationship with him hidden even when out, and never asked him for any jewelry, not even a bag or a piece of clothing. Even if she was trying to save face, she hid it well, but later he gave her a black card.
She hasn’t touched that card until now.
Even in the property division in the divorce agreement, she only asked for one million.
A million was nothing to him.
“Gerald, I don’t understand Charlotte anymore. Why did she marry him in the first place, and now why is she leaving?”
Gerald Mueller blurted out, “Maybe because they like you?”
Liked him…
Jaxson’s deep eyes flickered with a hint of clarity, “She… likes me?”
“I’m just saying, after all, if a woman doesn’t like you, it’s like you said, just for power and status. What does it matter if you have a mistress outside of your first love? She wouldn’t mind, right?”
The gloom on Jaxson’s face, dissipated a bit.
“Okay, let’s not talk about that for now.” Gerald poured a drink and his face turned serious.“Let’s talk about Collin, this kid has some serious psychological issues.”
“He was pushed down from upstairs, maybe got quite a scare.”
“I don’t think so.”
Gerald shook his head, “Just being pushed down the stairs, and it was the first time, the fear from the shock is short–term, but he has long–term psychological issues. It indicates that besides being pushed down the stairs, he had experienced some abuse and intimidation early on.”
