Chapter 47 The Pocket Money

Chapter 47 The Pocket Money Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Cecilia Wesley, her family had been working as government officials for generations. Her grandfather had just retired from the State Council. Her father was now a representative member of the Council of Ministers with a lot of power. She was the daughter of the Wesley family and was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Her status was second to none in the entire Srolanya High School.

She hated the illegitimate child like the vampire hated garlic. Not to mention seeing her in person, even hearing that word could make her rage.

It was because soon after her mother died of illness last year, her father brought a woman and a girl home. They were mother and daughter. That girl was Daisy Wesley, who was only half a year younger than Cecilia.

That incident was unbearable for anyone, let alone Cecelia, who had a hot temper. She had been objecting to her father to get married to Daisy's mother. Ever since then, the whole of Srolanya High School knew that Cecelia hated illegitimate children very much.

Cecelia squinted her eyes and looked at Charlotte a few times, and she said, "Look at you. Do you feel aggrieved?"

Before Charlotte could speak, she spoke again, "There is nothing you can do about it even if you feel aggrieved." Cecelia smiled viciously, "Who asks your mother to be so shameless and destroy another's family?"

Charlotte raised her head suddenly and said, "Hey, you."

Cecelia looked at her calmly.

Charlotte spoke with a Southern accent. She always sounded very soft and weak. Her tone wasn't aggressive at all but sounded sweet instead. Even at that moment, she spoke very softly but with a sense of stubbornness and determination in her tone, "I can't choose my origin, but at least I can choose my future."

She looked at Cecelia without fear and continued, "I don't blame my mother, because I know she was deceived."

Vivian's expression became awkward. Didn't Charlotte mean that Jonathan was the one who deceived the young girl outside by saying that?

She stood up, smiled slightly at Cecelia, and said, "I'm sorry. My sister is too rude."

Cecelia replied, "You are much more sensible than your younger sister."

Vivian couldn't figure out what was Cecelia trying to say at that moment. She continued, "Although Char and I aren't from the same mother, in terms of blood relation, she is still my younger sister after all. Cecilia, how about..."

Seeing Vivian begging for mercy on behalf of her illegitimate sister, the rest of the class looked at her with more sympathy, and felt more disgusted about Charlotte.

Seeing Vivian begging for mercy, the class teacher hurriedly said, "Cecelia, that's it. Charlotte won't sit with you anyways."

Cecelia smiled noncommittally.

Eloise waved to Charlotte and asked her to sit with her. Charlotte smiled gratefully and sat down on the empty seat next to her.

The class teacher breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Okay, everyone, let's start the class."

Eloise covered her face with a book, and whispered to Charlotte, "What do you think about transferring to another class? Cecelia will definitely make things difficult for you."

Charlotte was stunned and asked, "I... I'm an illegitimate child. Don't you hate me?"

Eloise frowned and said, "I do hate illegitimate children. As you know, most of our families are married for profit. Therefore, there are a lot of extramarital affairs, and illegitimate children are everywhere. But..." She smiled at Charlotte and continued, "But I don't think you are that kind of person. Since you aren't like that, your mother is definitely not the kind of person who would sell herself for power."

Charlotte had never heard anyone say that before. Her heart suddenly felt warm, like a person who was about to be frozen to death by a snowstorm in the winter suddenly got a kettle of warm wine. That made her feel very touched.

Charlotte lowered her head and asked, "Is the person you mentioned, Cecilia, the girl just now?"

Eloise nodded and briefly told Charlotte what happened to Cecelia's family. Then, she spread her hands and said, "So now, you know that she hates illegitimate children to the extreme. The most important thing is that she has had a fiance since she was a child. She likes that boy very much, but after Daisy came to the Wesley family, that boy wanted to break up with Cecelia...Think about it. Daisy has devoured Cecelia's heart alive. Therefore, she hates everything with the same case."

"She is quite a pity then..." Charlotte said suddenly.

Eloise continued, "She is quite pitiful, but don't say it in front of her. Cecelia hates to be humiliated."

Charlotte responded with a hum.

Eloise asked, "You should think about the transfer that I told you. If you stay in Class One, Cecelia will definitely give you some hard times."

"Let's see..." Charlotte didn't want to bother Nelson or Waylon anymore. She felt that she would be unable to pay it back if she owed too much to others.

"By the way, what's your major, Char?"

Charlotte smiled and answered, "Chinese medicine."

......

The syllabus of Srolanya High School was very unique. It was very free. All the students were relatively lazy, and it seemed that most of them were sleepy. Eloise told her that the class would look like that generally.

After the first class, before Charlotte could put away her books, she heard Vivian say, "Char, why didn't you tell me that you are coming to school today?"

Eloise was naive. She thought that the relationship between the two of them was good, and said with a smile, "It's my cousin who send Char here."

Vivian looked disappointed.

Aurora had gathered some information before Vivian came to Srolanya High School. Therefore, she knew Eloise, and she knew who Eloise's cousin was.

Thinking of Charlotte getting the favor from Mr. Clark because of a blessing in disguise, Vivian felt very uncomfortable for no reason.

Although Aurora tried to persuade Vivian for a long time, saying that Mr. Clark liked Charlotte because of the sense of novelty, which would last temporarily, soon she would be abandoned by him without her even noticing it. Vivian still felt very uncomfortable just looking at how well was Charlotte doing now.

Vivian spoke to Charlotte affectionately, "Char, the clothes you are wearing today are very beautiful. I have never seen you wear them before."

The clothes Charlotte was wearing today were randomly picked from the closet. The T-shirt and jeans looked very ordinary, but the logo on the clothes wasn't ordinary at all.

The price of that set of clothes on the official website would be six figures.

Eloise took a glance at Charlotte, and said in surprise, "I saw this set of clothes in the store not long ago and find it very beautiful too. But I don't have enough pocket money recently, so I didn't buy it."

Vivian smiled and said, "Char, the pocket money you get from our parents recently is not that much. If you have used all the money to buy clothes, I can lend you some."

Eloise asked innocently, "Char, how much is your monthly pocket money?"

Vivian said lightly, "Three to four thousand dollars. Our family's conditions aren't as good as yours."

Eloise was stunned for a moment and continued, "Three to four thousand dollars?"

That wasn't even a fraction of the clothes Charlotte was wearing.

Reagan, who had been watching them at the side suddenly sneered and said, "Hey, Charlotte, I find it so strange. Even Eloise couldn't afford those clothes, how could you afford it with the pocket money of three to four thousand dollars?"
