Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 282

"You didn't treat me like this when you locked me up in the conference room and wanted me to bleed to death."

I sat down and looked at her. Even if I knew that Gina and Jeremy may be sentenced to life imprisonment, there was no emotional response in my heart.

They were my parents, but they were like two unrelated people to me.

Gina held the receiver and said excitedly, "It was your father who asked me to do this. I had nothing in the past few years, so I could only listen to him!"

"Hehe, he hasn't been my father since long ago." I held the receiver and looked at Gina through the tempered glass, "If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you today."

If Patrick hadn't gone to find me.

During the two weeks in the hospital, the doctor said that if I had been sent to the hospital half an hour later, I might had died.

When she heard that someone saved me, Gina's eyes got wet again. "Charlotte, please let us go. We really lost our minds at that moment. I also advised Jeremy that since Shelton had been willing to give us money, then forgot it. But he didn't follow my words and insisted on getting your house."

"I almost died. How can I let you go? And as you are poor, isn't it good to live in prison to get food and drink for free?"

I spoke flatly.

In fact, it was better to stay in prison than to live such a bad life.

"No, I don't want to stay in prison for a lifetime." Gina pressed one hand on the glass, and her face was tightly attached to the glass. "Charlotte, please, just let us go, for I had been pregnant for 9 months to give birth to you."

"So what?" I sneered. "If Caroline and I weren't twins, I wouldn't believe you're my mother at all. How could a mother treat her child like this!"

"No, it's not like that..."

"At that time, both Caroline and I were on the boat. Generally, you would be happy if both of us came back. You were going to be glad too even if only one of us came back. But what about you? What did you do? If Caroline was there that day, would you treat her as what you did to me?"

Even if Gina didn't answer, I knew that they wouldn't.

A vicious tiger would not eat its cub.

In their eyes, I was not their child, but Caroline was.

Gina looked at me and said in a kind voice, "Yes, Caroline has been growing up with us, so we have deeper feelings for her. But over the past few years, we have been trying hard to accept you and treat you kindly. Affection can't be cultivated overnight..."

"So you tried to kill me for getting the house?" I looked at Gina, without any pity in my eyes, and said, "To tell you the truth, looking at Caroline, that good-for-nothing, I don't regret living in the Archer Family at all!"

Gina had been saying nice things to me.

But just as I spoke ill of Caroline, her face changed immediately and she couldn't hide her anger. She said to me, "What are you talking about? How could Caroline be a good-for-nothing? She..."

"What?" I interrupted her and asked, "How many times did I do homework for her at school? I even took the makeup exam for her. She found someone on the Internet to make the graduate project. It took her a lot of effort to get the Cowell

Family to set up a studio for her. In the end, she plagiarized a deceased designer's work. She didn't really earn a penny by herself and only relied on others to support her. She didn't contribute anything to society at all. Isn't she a good- for-nothing?"

I calmly complained about Caroline, and Gina's face was getting more and more gloomy.

Finally, when I questioned her whether Caroline was a good-for-nothing or not, Gina couldn't stand it anymore. She pounded the table and stood up. "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if Caroline doesn't do anything, we're willing to support her!"

"You support her as you like. Why drag me into it?" She was fierce, but I was not afraid at all. "You took me back for the shares. In order to take back the shares, you asked me to marry someone as her replacement and wanted me to be hated by my grandmother. Fortunately, my grandmother is wise, otherwise, you would have smeared me completely a long time ago!"

"Her replacement? You actually dare to bring that up!" Gina was furious. "It's all your fault! Patrick came to save you that day. Don't think that I couldn't see the expression on his face when he held you. He loves you! You b*tch, you not only killed Caroline but also stole her lover!"

"I stole? She was a mere turtledove trying to take over a magpie's nest. Why do you think Patrick likes her? It's because I rescued Patrick when I was a child, and Caroline said that she was the rescuer!" I was also angry. "She deserved to die!"

If it weren't for these twists and turns, perhaps Patrick and I wouldn't have ended up like this!

"You! You!" Gina was so angry that she pointed at me. After a while, she said, "You b*tch! I shouldn't have let the hospital send you to an orphanage. I should have strangled you directly!"

What she said made me stunned.

I stood there holding the receiver for three seconds before realizing what had happened. "What did you say?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face.

"She meant that she had already known my existence, didn't she?"

"I was not lost in the hospital but abandoned by her?!"

Gina realized that she had blurted out something, but she didn't want to change. She sat back in the chair, looked at the sky, and said with a ferocious face, "Neither of you is my daughter. My daughter had already died in my womb..."

"What?"

I looked at Gina in a daze.

This...

What did this mean?

Gina looked at me with a blank expression. "When Jeremy refused to marry me, I was pregnant. I told Jeremy that and he didn't care about it at first, but I knew that Rosy would definitely let me marry Jeremy as long as I gave birth to this child. But then, the doctor said that my child was not healthy and advised me to abort it. How could I abort it? But the child died in my womb when it was six months old."

"... And then?"

"And then, I still kept it. During that time, I'd sent photos to Jeremy every day. On the day of delivery, I went to the hospital, only to give birth to a dead fetus." Gina was sitting there with a strange expression on her face.

She seemed to be laughing, but she also seemed to be crying.

"Then how did you get Caroline and me?"

The only thing I wanted to know was this!

Gina looked at me and said, "The next day, there happened to be a woman who was pregnant before she was married and gave birth to twins. The family felt disgraced and wanted to find a place to throw the children away. I got them out of kindness, but I had only given birth to one child. Because my belly was small, I picked a thin and weak one and sent the other to an orphanage."

As soon as I heard Gina's words, my mind was filled with all kinds of information.

"That means I am not her child!"

"I still have my own parents!"

I looked at Gina and asked her urgently, "What about my mother? Who on earth is she? Who did you get us from?"

At this time, the police of the detention center came in and said, "The visit is over."

With that, he was about to take Gina away.

"Wait a minute!" I patted the glass window and shouted, "Who on earth did you take the children from? What's the surname of that family?"
