Master Charlie Was Tricked By A Woman

York Charlie froze at Delia Field’s words, he didn’t expect her to take the initiative to bring up Blanche Capra.

“Of course … no, what were you thinking?” York Charlie reached up to straighten her hair, which had been ruffled by the penetrating wind, and lowered his eyes, “I’m sorry I’ve neglected to care for you these days.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I’ll be twice as nice to you in the future, and whatever you want, I’ll help you get it.” York Charlie promised softly, not that he didn’t value Delia Field enough, it was precisely because she was important that he said such things.

Delia Field smiled weakly, “I just want you to be good and that’s enough.”

She thought to herself, as long as York Charlie got this step accomplished, then Moore Howard’s plan was sort of accomplished, even though the money was still with York Charlie.

But Blanche Capra, whom Moore Howard had been trying to punish, was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to turn over in her life.

After the party, Lynel Field asked York Charlie to talk to him alone in his study, “What are you going to do next?”

“After I win the case I will clean up the mess left by Blanche Capra and bring back the power of the Charlie Group.” York Charlie said honestly.

Lynel Field frowned as he turned back, “Didn’t you say you were going to merge with THE Field Group in the first place?”

“Yes, that’s what I said, but now is not the time, the Charlie Group is a mess inside and out right now, even if we merge, it’s the equivalent of just buying a bunch of broken pieces of metal.”

“So what’s your plan?” The fact that Lynel Field didn’t object to what he said meant that the ploy was approved by Lynel Field.

York Charlie raised his eyes, his eagle eyes flashing a light, “I’ll take over the Charlie Group while retaining my position as general manager at the Field Group.”

York Charlie’s ambition was evident, but he had the ability to have that ambition.

Because of the firm belief that Delia Field, who was the daughter of the Field family, could definitely keep York Charlie on a leash, Lynel Field maintained a trusting attitude towards this future son-in-law, who was very deep in the city.

He didn’t realize how hard it was to guess the heart beneath the skin of a man.

“Since that’s what you think, let’s give it a try, remember, if THE Charlie Group is a rotten wall that can’t be helped, you shouldn’t be obsessed with mergers and acquisitions, and close your hands in time, so as not to affect the development of our company.”

“No problem, thank you uncle for your support.”

Lynel Field was a bit dissatisfied every time he heard York Charlie call him uncle, and this time too, he directly said to him without any manners, “You and Delia are going to get married soon, and you still refuse to change the way you address me?”

Lynel Field was also a man prone to suspicion.

But he wasn’t so sure that York Charlie didn’t love Delia Field just because of a name-calling issue.

York Charlie pursed his dry lips; he didn’t call out simply because he always felt that father was a word far from him, and he hadn’t called out that title in years.

It was impossible to say it to someone who wasn’t related to him by blood.

“I’m sorry, it’s better to wait until Delia and I get married.”

“Never mind, it’s not a big deal,” Lynel Field turned his back, “I’m the one who’s being petty.”

“No …”

“It’s late, go back and get some rest, you’re going to court in a while, you’ll have to get your strength up in the next few days.”

At his reminder, York Charlie’s heart stung for a moment, and a wave of guilt surfaced for no apparent reason.

What the hell was he guilty of?

Blanche Capra deserved what she got, didn’t she?

“I know.”

He looked so dazed as he left the study that Delia Field, who had just come up the stairs, mistook it for an argument with Lynel Field.

Delia Field rushed to keep up with him, summoning him without turning around, and she made her move, grabbing him by the shoulder.

York Charlie came back to his senses as he turned around, “It’s you, what’s wrong?”

His gaze grew tender for a split second, a tenderness that was meant for Delia Field all right.

But, like an animal’s stress response, it was only used to protect what was really going on inside him.

Delia Field wasn’t sure if she was overthinking it; she felt like York Charlie was rejecting her.

But she wasn’t going to let him get away from her so easily-unless Moore Howard asked for it.

“I saw your face when you came out of the study and was wondering if you were getting a hard time from my dad.” Delia Field laughed softly, “After all, my dad can be a real pain in the ass sometimes.”

Just a stubborn old man.

York Charlie thought to himself, so he looks that bad?

Over a woman like Blanche Capra?

There was no way York Charlie was going to be honest with Delia Field, he laughed and shook his head, “I was just thinking about the court appearance in a few days, and the work piling up like a mountain before that, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it.”

“I see, it’s good that it’s not a fight.”

Delia Field breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be heartbroken as she worried for him, “You’re so busy every day, can your body hold up?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

York Charlie gave her a hug, then turned around and went back to his room.

After returning to the room where he was alone, York Charlie was finally able to let out a sigh of relief, tearing off his false smile to reveal his tangled and struggling heart.

Tugging on his tie, York Charlie removed the whiskey from the window, grabbed a glass, and then slumped down on the couch, drinking mulled wine in the dimness of the unlit room.

He was now completely split mentally into two people, one who had decided he’d done wrong, held deep guilt for Blanche Capra, wanted to drop the lawsuit, and help clear Blanche Capra’s name.

One, as he is now, is smiling and accepting congratulations on his success, preparing his materials and appearing in court in a few days, hiring the best team of lawyers in town, with the goal of prolonging Blanche Capra’s sentence as long as possible.

It was either guilt to death, or do the worst possible thing.

What York Charlie was going to choose, even he didn’t know.

The line that draws the two boundaries has also become blurred and is starting to shift to the left.

But, at this point, York Charlie knows there’s no way he can stop in time, he can’t put the brakes on.

Even if he chose to backtrack, THE FIELD FAMILY wouldn’t agree.

It was just fine, he had done nothing wrong, Blanche Capra had robbed him and some punishment was in order.

“Yeah, I’m just fine with that.” York Charlie mumbled into the cold air, as if he had made up his mind, he was no longer so disheveled, and was content to live a life of luxury and fulfill his earliest plans.

Just one thing that disconcerted York Charlie was the fact that ever since Blanche Capra was taken, the sky had remained gray and cloudy, sometimes catching him off guard with a rain shower.

Even if people were disgruntled, they had to adapt to their circumstances in some way.

The rain poured down as if to vent their pain and aggression.

The night before the court date, it started raining again. York Charlie and Delia Field asked the cook to cook a few dishes and then went about their business.

Delia Field went out in the rain, and the maid complained that the weather was too unpleasant, “It’s not the rainy season, and it may rain more than the rainy season, it’s gray all day long, and the sheets can’t even be tanned.”

“That’s right, this weather is just too perverse, it’s wet and cold, if you don’t have heating indoors, you definitely won’t survive.”

“…”

York Charlie passed them by as he headed back to his room, the warmth surrounded him, but his heart was so cold that for a moment he thought it wouldn’t beat.
