Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen-Chapter 755: Robert Stephens’s Punishment

October.

This year in Chicago, the cold arrived a month earlier than usual. Charlotte Smith awoke to a phone call from Lady Stephens from the Stephens family.

Ever since George Stephens’ true identity was exposed, she had not been in contact with the Stephens family for a long time.

The last time Lady Stephens called, it was merely to console her, saying she understood. They chatted briefly, with nothing much to say, and then hung up. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After that call, they hadn’t been in touch for more than half a year.

She had done such a thing, deceived so many people, and the Stephens family’s hostility towards her was only natural. She hadn’t reached out to Lady Stephens and didn’t want to bring trouble to them.

Unexpectedly, after half a year, Lady Stephens took the initiative to call.

Charlotte sat up, leaned against the headboard, and answered Lady Stephens’ call.

"Good evening."

Lady Stephens’ voice was soft as she gently called her name.

Charlotte hesitated for a moment and called her, "Auntie."

"Charlotte, how have you been?" Lady Stephens asked softly.

"I’m fine, and you?"

"Just the same as usual..."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lady Stephens sighed softly.

"Charlotte, George is planning to study abroad in London. Did you know about this?"

Charlotte’s breath caught momentarily, and she was stunned for a while before slowly saying, "What?"

"George wants to study abroad in London. He brought it up with me. I don’t know whether I should agree, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."

Charlotte was still a bit dazed.

After a long pause, she finally said slowly, "Auntie, George hasn’t been in touch with me for a long time."

Ever since George Stephens’ identity was exposed, he suddenly became estranged from her.

She didn’t know how to explain it to that child, nor was there any way to explain, because of Robert Stephens’ will, she couldn’t even visit the Stephens family to see him.

She didn’t expect that the next news about the child would be that he was leaving Chicago.

Lady Stephens sighed softly, sounding somewhat troubled.

"That child’s mind is set, and I can’t persuade him. Charlotte, please help me talk him out of it... London is so far, how is it better than Chicago? There’s nobody to look after him. I really don’t understand what he’s thinking."

"He’s still so young, not even ten yet. Why go to London? Isn’t the environment at home good enough for his studies?"

...

Lady Stephens rambled on a lot, sounding really helpless. She had always pampered George Stephens, and he had his own ideas, not intending to let Lady Stephens accept them.

Charlotte remained quiet for a while before softly asking, "Auntie, can I see George?"

"..." Lady Stephens fell silent immediately.

"Auntie, I haven’t seen him for a long time. I won’t say anything to him; I just want to ask him why he wants to go to London." Her voice was soft, with a hint of pleading.

For the Stephens family, George Stephens, this child, no longer had any connection with Charlotte Smith, his biological mother.

He was Robert Stephens’ child. In the future, if luck were on his side, he might have the opportunity to inherit Robert Stephens’ legacy. But no matter how he developed in the future, he would have absolutely nothing to do with the Smith family.

Because his mother had offended Edward Stephens, making him unknowingly raise another man’s son for so many years.

The Smith family dared not acknowledge him, fearing they might offend the current head of the Stephens, and Robert Stephens’ will also blocked Charlotte Smith, his birth mother, from being able to acknowledge him.

This was likely Robert Stephens’ punishment for her.
