Chapter 348 Repaying the Debt

Charlotte hadn't expected Camille to come and show weakness.

However, seeing the once proud and noble hostess of the Hardwick family lower her stance in front of her, Charlotte felt nothing at all.

Over the years, her expectations for Camille had been worn down by Camille's repeated disdain and coldness.

Now, whether Camille was trying to make amends or berate her, Charlotte didn't feel much of anything inside.

She replied indifferently, "Mrs. Camille Hardwick, did you forget? I officially severed ties with the Hardwick family yesterday."

The smile on Camille's face, which had been strained, nearly faltered at Charlotte's words.

"Lottie, is there really no room for reconciliation? You grew up under my care, and although I neglected your education because of work, I've never lacked for you in life. You've always lived like a princess."

Camille looked hurt. "Although you're not my biological daughter, we'ye lived together for over twenty years. Even if you've done some things that were over the top, I've never truly blamed you."

Charlotte found it laughable. She couldn't help but laugh, her clear eyes flashing with mockery. "What did I do that was over the top?"

Camille froze. "Lottie, those things are in the past. Let's not talk about them. Do you have time tonight? How about coming home for a family dinner?"noveldrama

Charlotte sat down, her face growing colder. "Let's be clear. What did I do that was over the top?"

She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her tone calm. "When I was a child, you weren't around. Sebastian was the one who took care of me and protected me. You and your family were always biased toward boys. Sebastian had living expenses, but I didn't. The servants only favored those who pleased you. When you weren't around, they ignored me. If it weren't for Sebastian, I might have starved to death in some corner of the Hardwick Villa."

"As I grew older, I studied hard. Every time I brought home a perfect score, you didn't even glance at it. I followed your rules and did everything by the book. Then, five years ago, when something happened, you didn't even ask me a single question, just blamed everything on me."

As she spoke, Charlotte's smile widened, her words as detached as though she were recounting someone else's life. There was no stir of emotion in her heart.

"What did I do that was over the top, huh?"

Camille's face darkened. She hadn't expected Charlotte to dig up these old grievances and articulate them so clearly.

She had never liked Charlotte. Even though Charlotte was smart and beautiful, able to meet every requirement, she still couldn't bring herself to like her, couldn't grow close to her.

Now, being questioned so sharply by Charlotte, she had no words to defend herself.

"Mrs. Camille Hardwick, you should leave. I've never had any real connection to the Hardwick family. Now that you've found the daughter you wanted, from now on, I won't step foot into the Hardwick Villa again. I hope you don't show up in front of me. Let's both go our separate ways."

Seeing Camille silent, Charlotte coldly delivered the final words, signaling the end of their conversation.

She wanted to sever all ties with the Hardwick family.

"Fine, Charlotte," Camille snapped. "So now you've got your life and refuse to listen to me, huh? If you want to cut ties with the Hardwick family, go ahead. But everything you achieved is because of the Hardwick family! Now you married into a distinguished family and have become a famous photographer. Once you repay what you owned to the Hardwick family, you can sever ties with us!"
