Chapter 10: How Dare You Come Here?

Charlotte and her family were driven out by the Pittman family because of him. They ended up in such a miserable situation.

Quentin knew they couldn't forgive him easily. But this was what he owed them! Now that Quentin had returned, he would ensure a prosperous future for them!

"Charlotte, come out. I need to talk to you," Quentin took a deep breath. "I'll only take a little of your time."

Inside the house, Charlotte's expression was complex. She loved and hated this man... In the past, he was the epitome of elegance and charm, the most sought-after bachelor in all of Stresall. Numerous wealthy young ladies admired him, and Charlotte was no exception! However...

In the end, it was this man who forcefully took her and then disappeared for five whole years after she became pregnant... How much scorn had she endured during those five years? How many humiliations had she suffered? Their two children, how many people had mocked them as bastards?

She couldn't forgive him!

"Sis, let me go out and drive him away," Rashad picked up a knife directly.

"No!" Charlotte's heart trembled. "I'll go and talk to him, make him understand that he should never bother us again."

"What's going on?" Inside, two voices could be heard: Charlotte's parents, Emery and Emma.

"Dad, Mom, that bastard Quentin is back," Rashad gritted his teeth.

"What?" Upon hearing this, the old couple's faces immediately turned dark.

"Why is this rapist back? The Holland family has already been destroyed! Is he here to seek death? Don't drag us down! Hasn't he caused enough misery?" Emma was furious.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back," Quentin said guiltily. "Can you give me a chance to apologize to both of you in person?"

"Get lost!" Emery roared. This guy had violated his daughter. Emery wished he could kill him with a knife! But Charlotte had chosen to forgive him...

"Dad, Mom, if you don't want to see me, then I won't leave here." Quentin shamelessly said, "Give me a chance."

He was once a distinguished young heir, when had he ever been so humble?

But inside, it was Charlotte's family! His family too! It wasn't disgraceful for a man to lower his head to his loved ones.

"Shameless! Disgusting!" Emma was trembling with anger. "Refusing to leave, huh? Fine! Come in, and today, I'll beat you to death! Rashad, open the door for him."

Rashad reluctantly opened the door for Quentin.

Quentin's heart leaped with joy. He stepped inside.

Emma slapped him across the face.

"How dare you come here?"

"Isn't it enough that you've caused us misery?"

"Slap!"

"I'm telling you, now that the Holland family is gone, you're worse than nothing. Don't even think about being with Charlotte anymore! We've arranged a marriage for Charlotte...

"Charlotte's fiance is the son of the manager of the Spicurity Group, worth millions, a thousand times better than you, a bankrupt loser."

"You can't bring happiness to Charlotte and her children. You can't provide us with a comfortable life."

"So, stop bothering Charlotte and the children anymore; I beg you..." Emma's voice was filled with pleading. The years of poverty had almost driven her crazy! She couldn't take it anymore!

Quentin's mind suddenly shook. "I...disagree."

His sincere tone pleaded, "As long as you want it, I can make you stand at the pinnacle of Stresall, and enjoy the wealth..."

"Enough!" Charlotte's disappointment filled her face.

Her family members sneered at him, looking at him as if he were a fool, wondering if Quentin still thought of himself as the former Holland family heir.

Charlotte had held a glimmer of hope for Quentin...

But upon his return, he just talked big and couldn't be dependable.

How could they have a happy life as a family of three with him like this?

She had lost all hope in Quentin...
