StartNovelChapter 35
Previously, | could still say that Charlotte was the one who misunderstood the situation. Right now, however,
Lucas was actually lying.
Nevertheless, | soon noticed the slight stiffness in Lucas' expression.
If he and his father were in on the lie together, he wouldn't have had such a strange expression after ending the
call.
So, my guess is that his father told him the truth, but he was the one who decided to lie through his teeth till the
end.
At this moment, an apologetic look cacross Charlotte's face. "I'm sorry, Lucas. Aunt Bonnie didn't have any
ill intentions. Please don't hold it against her."
Lucas laughed awkwardly. "No worries."
At the end of the day, Bonnie was someone who had been around the block. She scrutinized Lucas for a moment
with a skeptical gaze.
But, she didn't say much to his face.
"Okay, all's good as long as you're fine. | can be at ease now. I'm gonna leave."

Charlotte nodded. "Aunt Bonnie, take these fruits and milk back for your little one. There's too much forto
finish."
"Alright, then."
She started picking the items up from the table. She took the two fruit baskets and the box of milk. She was
about to leave when she suddenly noticed the fruits that had scattered on the floor.
"This is..."
In shock, she crouched down, picked up a handful of fruits, and examined it carefully.
Upon seeing that, Charlotte felt extremely awkward. "Aunt Bonnie, that's just strash that a poor loser from
my school gave to me. | was about to throw it all away."
| opened my mouth to speak, but hesitated.
Excuse me, that so-called "poor loser" hadn't left. Couldn't she have been more polite in the face of this poor
loser?
That being said, Bonnie suddenly gasped. "Trash? Lottie, don't you know what this is? These are premium
bilberries, which are good for the brain.
"My, my. This has been really popular in affluent women's circles!"
"They might look like mulberries, but their nutritional and remedial values are comparable to that of salmon and
kale, and they're extremely delicious.
"But, these tiny fruits are really expensive. A handful of these cost a few hundred dollars, which means a box like
this would cost over ten thousand dollars."
Premium bilberries?
Wow, this was even my first thearing of it.
If it were that tasty, | should ask Lucy to buy sforso that | could have my mom try them.
With a look of disbelief on her face, Charlotte asked, "What are you saying, Aunt Bonnie? You've probably
misidentified it. How could that be so valuable?"
"Hey, why would | lie to you? | saw it when | went to a client's house recently. They really made my mouth water.
I'm going to have some. Come, you should try stoo."
Bonnie ate a handful while she fed sto Charlotte.
Skeptically, Charlotte took a bite. Instantly, her eyes lit up. "Oh? It's actually really delicious. They taste different
from mulberries. They taste a little like a combination of blueberries and cherries."
"Right?" Bonnie smiled. "See, would | lie to you? Also, how could you say that it
was a poor loser who gave this to you? Would a poor loser be able to afford giving you this? You're really
unlearned."

Upon hearing that, Charlotte and everyone else in the room looked in my direction.
Even so, they still had unfriendly looks in their eyes.
Elaine even questioned, "William, where did you steal this from? How bold of you!"
| scoffed. "How about you try to steal one?"
"What do you mean by that?" Lainey crossed her arms as she looked atcondescendingly. "You're not trying
to say that you bought this, are you?"
Just looking at her madefeel like hitting her. | simply turned my head away so that I didn't have to look at
her.
| answered, "It's none of your business. I'm sure you won't be able to buy it anyway."
"Why, you!" she blew her top instantly.
"What's with that act? Isn't it just a box of fruits? Who knows where you got it from? Based on your character, it
wouldn't be surprising if you actually stole it.
"You're dressed in counterfeit goods and you just brag all day. Did you think that bringing a box of slightly
valuable fruits would change the way we look at you? Dream on!"
| gave her a scornful look. "I don't care about whether you change the way you look at me. I'd live a longer life if
you don't look at me."
"William White!"
