Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife

Chapter 91

“Do you not understand anything?” Teresa chided. “To think that you are a daughter of someone like Lawrence Lockhart, yet you are actually this stupid.” Teresa arched an eyebrow.

“We cannot intervene in this matter, or our enemies will think that we have something to do with your father and this smuggling ring that the government is trying to destroy. Do you think we are that stupid?”

“But my father is innocent.” “Innocent?” Teresa smirked. “Did you truly believe your father is a saint?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“He is not. He might have committed some sins but... he would not do something so stupid as this. He worked so hard to slowly crawl his way up to the top of the food chain. Why would he risk everything for something like that?” Charlotte came here because she was helpless. She thought that the support of the Beaumont Family would help her father. However, she never thought that Mrs. Teresa Beaumont would become this useless.

It was a good thing that she knew a few pieces of information about Teresa and the Beaumont Family- information that was enough to ruin their perfect family image.

Charlotte was forced to reveal her cards when Teresa threatened to harm her unborn child. Because of these cards, Teresa asked her people to let Charlotte go, and they finally had the chance to have a decent conversation.

However, it seems that Teresa is still not convinced that she is worth helping.

“| never thought of doing something pointless,” Teresa said. “Why would we involve ourselves in your matter when it has nothing to do with us? Besides...” Teresa narrowed her eyes. “Don’t you know that Alexander Beaumont is currently helping your sister?”

“What?” She heard rumors and even saw some gossip about the two online. However, she never thought that Alexander Beaumont would involve himself in the matters between the Lockhart Family. “I— | don’t understand. This has nothing to do with Mr. Beaumont. Besides, Sofia doesn’t exactly have anything that could give him. Mr. Beaumont was a man who was even greater than Lawrence. He has the wealth, the power,

and perhaps women.”

“Besides, Mr. Beaumont is your son... can’t y you-”

“Let's stop wasting each other’s time,” Teresa said. “I do not owe you any explanation. The only reason why | am letting you go now is because of what you told me earlier. However, you do not have to act confident around me. | still do not accept you in the family. You may raise that child as yours, but that child... will never be one of us.”

“You.”

“Daniel will never marry you nor will he father that bastard of yours. However, | will allow you to live but do not mistake this as benevolence. | only wanted to see how far you will go until you... terminate that pregnancy yourself,” Teresa said. “You may leave...”

“What about my father?”

“What about your father?” Teresa asked. This matter doesn’t really concern her so she was not interested in involving herself. Besides, Alexander’s warnings still echoed inside her ears until now. Alexander is currently helping Sofia. Right now, she doesn’t want to provoke Alexander anymore as she knows how ruthless that man is.

She doesn’t want Alexander to harm Daniel just to hurt her.

“Leave... you already know where the door was. There is no need for me to escort you out.”

Charlotte gritted her teeth as she glared at the woman before her. How could someone be this ruthless? “Can't you at least let me see Daniel?”

“And why would you want to see my son?”

“He needed to know that he has a child.”

“Says who?” Teresa lifted an eyebrow. This time, Charlotte was unable to answer her question. She let out a sigh before she got up and turned towards the exit. Today, she will never forget the suffering that she experienced in front of this woman.

However, just before she could go out of the mansion, the large gates opened, a black Maybach drove straight inside. Seeing the familiar car, a small light of hope suddenly appeared inside Charlotte. She quickly

made her way towards the car.

“Mr. Beaumont...” she called out the man who just got out of the car. “I am certain that we have not met before, but | am Charlotte Lockhart. | am Sofia Lockhart’s stepsister and | carry the child of Daniel Beaumont.”

Alexander looked at Charlotte. “Then- “4

“Alexander, | didn’t know you would come...” Teresa’s voice interrupted him. “This- you do not have to listen to this nonsense. ” Teresa said. She never thought that Alexander would actually appear at a time like this! “This woman simply wanted money and |

“| just want my child to live!” Charlotte screamed. “All | wanted was for my child to survive.”

“Live?” Alexander looked at her stepmother and then turned his attention towards Charlotte. “You do understand that lying to a Beaumont would directly forfeit your life, no?”

For a few seconds, Charlotte was speechless. Alexander should not be that old. So, what was this suffocating atmosphere coming from him? She swallowed as she tried to compose herself.

“I— 1am not lying. We can do a DNA. | heard they can do something like that even to a pregnant woman. | am willing to prove that this is Daniel's child!”

“Then Josef...” “Master...” “Arrange a guest room for Miss Lockhart. Call the physicians. We need to arrange a DNA test and if it was proven that this is-”

“Alexander! What do you think you’re doing?” Teresa asked her gaze wide. She never expected that Alexander would immediately budge. “This woman is lying if—"

“If she’s lying then we could just punish her... isn’t that right? Mother?” Alexander smirked.

“This woman was only after the wealth of the-”

“And you know that because?” Alexander asked. a

“Was it because you can smell it from her?” Alexander asked. Seeing Teresa’s startled expression, he took a step towards the woman. “Was the stench too familiar? Were you able to recognize your own stench...

mother?”

“You-” Teresa was ready to slap Alexander but instead, she balled her hands into fists. “Josef... what are you waiting for?” Alexander smirked.

“Yes, Miss Lockhart, please follow me..

Alexander smiled as he watched Charlotte’s slightly hunched-back follow Josef. “If that child is indeed the child of my brother, then... | shall protect it.”

“You-

“If something happens to that child... | would immediately think it's you, mother. So... you should be very careful.” Alexander smiled.

“What are you talking about?’

However, Alexander was already walking away from her. Seeing the man’s proud back, Teresa gritted her teeth. She cannot let that child live as it would only tarnish her son’s reputation and may even worsen his current state. However, she also could not carelessly touch her because of Alexander.

Moreover, if this matter reaches her husband then... she was certain t he would agree with Alexander too! How did this happen? Just years a Alexander was not doing anything against her.

She always knew he hated her for what happened in the past but he loved his father and would not want to see his father’s broken heart. For years, he stayed away from the Beaumont Family and instead focused on

running the Empire.

Why did he suddenly change? Just what the hell happened?
