Chapter 579: Chapter 522: No One Can Feel Comfortable
It was obvious that Edward Kirsten had been prepared for Charlotte Lane’s arrival.
Or, he had been preparing since Charlotte left Continent A.
The place they were now was a private island.
Charlotte estimated that this should be a new resting place, as the room decorations seemed to be done in a hurry.
It was not Edward’s final base, and their brief rest might continue on.
When Charlotte returned to her room, Edward introduced her to the aunt who would be taking care of her life.
Aunt Zhou was in her fifties, she took Charlotte into the room and told her where the clothes were placed.
The clothes in the wardrobe were all Charlotte’s favorite styles, mostly skirts.
There were different sizes, Aunt Zhou looked at Charlotte and found a suitable size home clothes for her.
Throughout the process, Aunt Zhou only spoke three sentences, one of which was asking Charlotte if there was anything else to be done.
Charlotte said no.
Aunt Zhou then tidied up some ill-fitting clothes and took them out.
Charlotte waited for Aunt Zhou to leave, locked the door, and went into the restroom to take a bath.
After taking a bath, when she went downstairs, the meal was already prepared.
Charlotte ignored Edward’s greeting, went to the restaurant on her own, sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Alice Eugene watched her behavior with a sullen expression.
Edward showed no anger, stood in the living room for a while, and then entered the restaurant and sat down.
The table was full of dishes Charlotte loved.
Edward poured her a bowl of soup and put it in front of her, “It’s been a long time since you’ve eaten, drink some soup first.”
Charlotte did not skimp on herself, put down her chopsticks and drank a bowl of soup first.
After finishing the soup, Edward filled her bowl again, then began peeling shrimp for her, “I had food prepared for you on the road, why didn’t you eat some? Did they mistreat you?”
“Is the food safe?” Charlotte replied without even lifting her eyes, “If someone poisons it, I would die halfway.”
“No one will poison it,” Edward said.
“Yes, but someone knows my allergies,” Charlotte sarcastically said with precision, “If I suffocate to death, who will I talk to about it?”
Alice Eugene stood not far away, her face showing a moment of panic as she heard Charlotte’s words.
Edward turned his head and looked at Alice Eugene.
Alice immediately lowered her head and said, “Henry Kirsten, I dare not.”
Charlotte’s chopsticks paused and she looked at Alice, “I’m curious, how are you not dead?”
Alice Eugene felt Edward’s gaze still on her, she didn’t dare to raise her head and didn’t dare to respond.
Edward watched her for a while, then turned back, his expression and tone becoming gentler, “Your heart is misguided.”
“Oh,” Charlotte’s tone was disdainful, “should have known to shoot earlier.”
Alice Eugene clenched her teeth tightly and lowered her head, controlling her emotions.
“If you want to kill her, her life is yours at any time,” Edward said.
Alice Eugene’s eyes widened, and her pupils trembled.
Charlotte looked at Alice, “Let’s keep her for now. Maybe one day she will die of anger.”
Her purpose was Edward’s Laboratory, so she had to pretend to “sincerely” join them. Even if Edward suspected her, she had to pretend.
Edward raised his eyebrows slightly, her aptitude for angering people becoming even more refined.
After that, Charlotte stopped talking and ate silently and attentively.
Even when Edward spoke to her a few times, she ignored him.
She ate for more than half an hour, feeling full. She threw her chopsticks down on the table, stood up, and angrily said, “That was disgusting.”
After saying that, she walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
Edward’s gaze lingered on the now scattered chopsticks for two seconds, and then looked at the two large piles of shrimp shells beside him.
Edward: “……”
After Charlotte went upstairs, Alice finally came over and stood beside Edward.
Edward Kirsten took the tissue paper and slowly wiped his fingers, “Just say what you want.”
“Mr. Kirsten, don’t you think that her arrival was too smooth?” Alice Eugene asked, “I asked our brothers in the Imperial Capital, and there was a group of unknown forces involved. I’m afraid they purposely sent her over.”
Edward Kirsten lifted the corner of his mouth, “So what if it was intentional?”
Alice Eugene frowned in confusion.
“Without her people’s help? Could we have brought her here with just our people?”
“You did it on purpose?” Alice Eugene asked.
Edward Kirsten admitted, “What I want is this person. As for how she came here and what she wants to do… I don’t care.”
Edward Kirsten threw the tissue paper on the table, and a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes, “Anyway, she can’t leave now.”
Just as Edward Kirsten finished speaking, a crisp sound exploded in the living room.
Alice Eugene immediately looked over and saw a ceramic shard that had almost flown into the restaurant.
Edward Kirsten went out right away.
As soon as he left the restaurant, he saw a vase flying down from the second floor, landing directly in the living room.
Another bang, shards splattered around, one of them landing right next to Edward Kirsten’s foot.
And on the second floor… there stood Charlotte Lane.
“Enigma Starry, what are you doing?” Alice Eugene blocked Edward Kirsten’s front.’,
Charlotte Lane glanced at them and then found a slingshot from somewhere upstairs.
She picked up a stone from the vase of green plants on the second floor, put it on the slingshot, pulled it back, and aimed.
Bang——
A large vase in the living room was shattered.
The people guarding the entry of the living room all looked over.
Everyone had a solemn expression as they thought about how miserably this person might die.
They had followed Edward Kirsten for so long, but they had never seen anyone dare to provoke him like this.
Charlotte Lane picked up another stone, pulled back the slingshot, and aimed for another big vase on the other side.
“Enigma Starry, don’t shoot anymore.” Edward Kirsten looked up at her, his voice slightly more serious.
Instead of stopping, Charlotte Lane just cast a glance at him and then released the slingshot.
Once again, there was a loud noise, and the vase shattered.
She had to pretend to follow him willingly, but if she was unhappy inside, she would make everyone else uncomfortable.
Edward Kirsten: “……”
Charlotte Lane looked at Edward Kirsten.
Edward Kirsten’s light blue eyes narrowed.
Under his gaze, Charlotte Lane grabbed the green plant next to her, and with a push, knocked it down, shattering the vase.
Shards and dirt fell from the second-floor railing.
A helpless look appeared in Edward Kirsten’s eyes.
Charlotte Lane didn’t look at him any longer and turned to return to her room.
As the chaos subsided, Alice Eugene glanced at the wreckage on the floor, took a breath, and looked at Edward Kirsten, “Mr. Kirsten, what about this…”
Edward Kirsten sighed softly, his voice revealing his indulgence, “Children, when they’re upset, they throw tantrums.”
Alice Eugene: “……”
A group of people outside the living room, watching the young girl ignore Edward Kirsten and return to her room without any issues suddenly questioned whether the Edward Kirsten they knew today was the same person as before.
“Her temper…” Alice Eugene said, “Why is it even worse than a few years ago?”
Edward Kirsten laughed, “She’s grown up, and her temper has grown with her. Just have someone clean up.”
“Yes.”
After Edward Kirsten left, Alice Eugene asked someone to clean up the mess.
Looking at the shards on the floor, she suddenly thought of a word: was this what they called indulgence leading to arrogance…
