Chapter 74

Serena glared at Charlotte with dissatisfaction. "Even so, you can't just curse at people. I was just giving you some advice."

Charlotte felt suffocated; she and Serena simply couldn't communicate,and their levels of understanding were completely different.

"Serena, I advise you not to provoke me and don't even think about using my pregnancy to threaten me. Because if Frederick finds out about my pregnancy, you'll be in a worse position than me. I already have Grandma's support, and with the help of the child, at worst, I'll just continue being Mrs.Percy. And you?"

Charlotte's words of threat made Serena realize the situation.

Serena instantly became a bit nervous.

At first, she thought that knowing about Charlotte's pregnancy would give her leverage over her, but she forgot that, as Charlotte said, if Frederick found out about her pregnancy, it would be even more disadvantageous for her.

'Anouk, that detestable old woman, has always harbored a dislike for me.If she were to discover that Charlotte is pregnant, it would make my prospects of marrying Frederick utterly hopeless.' Serena was already starting to back down in her heart, but she still put on a tough front. "I had thought you possessed more integrity, considering the disdain you previously exhibited. Yet, in the end, you still cannot forsake the opulence and grandeur of the Percy family." "So what? Even if I stay in the Percy Family, it's because you forcedI me to. So you'd better pray that Frederick doesn't find out about my pregnancy,or I won't let you have your way."

"So what if you're pregnant? What are you so proud of? We'll see!"

Serena snorted coldly, picked up her bag, and was about to leave.

She originally wanted to take the opportunity to threaten Charlotte, but she didn't expect Charlotte to be so cunning.

Charlotte watched her get up with a cold expression but suddenly smelled the perfume Serena was wearing. She frowned and covered her nose with her hand, questioning, "Why are you wearing this perfume?"

"What perfume I wear is none of your business!"

Charlotte frowned and patiently explained, "The perfume you're wearing contains musk, which is dangerous for pregnant women and fetuses. You're being very irresponsible."

She doubted whether Serena could be a competent mother.

Serena rolled her eyes. "Your accusations are baseless; my perfume is bespoke, crafted exclusively for me. I believe you're merely envious of me."

"Yeah,you figured it out. I'm just jealous of you."

Charlotte immediately asked, "Where did you get this perfume made? I want to get a bottle too." Charlotte hadn't forgotten that the Aphrodisiac Perfume Serena used was hers. If this perfume was specially made, then was the previous Aphrodisiac Perfume also given to her by that person? Serena was initially a bit smug, but then her face suddenly turned pale as if she had thought of something.

Charlotte found Serena's expression very strange. "It's just a bottle of perfume, what's the big deal? Or are you lying about it being custom-made?

Serena denied it immediately, "Who's lying? My perfume is one of a kind!However, I won't reveal where it was made, so you have no chance of imitating me!"

After saying that,Serena gave Charlotte a disdainful look and then turned to leave.

Charlotte was a bit speechless and also felt a bit regretful that she couldn't get any useful information from Serena.

But one thing was certain, Serena had secrets, otherwise, she wouldn't have had that expression just now.

She wanted to know what that secret was, but unfortunately, Frederick had lost his memory. Otherwise, she believed he must have discovered something, which was why he went to the past.

Just as she was thinking, her phone suddenly vibrated.

Charlotte frowned at Frederick's name and immediately hung up. But Frederick was very persistent. She kept rejecting the calls, and he kept calling back. Charlotte was annoyed and wanted to block him directly, but she was afraid of missing something important, so she finally answered. But her tone was very cold, "Are you dead and calling me to mourn? If not,don't bother me."

Frederick sneered, "Thanks to you, I'm not dead yet,but you must get to the hospital within 10 minutes. Grandma knows about my injury and is on her way. Your job is to make sure she doesn't find out about my amnesia."

"Why should I listen to you?"

Charlotte was unwilling. Every time she thought of Frederick's cold,questioning eyes, she got angry.

Frederick's voice was cold and deep, "If grandma gets sick because of this,you shall bear the burden of guilt for the rest of your life."

After saying that, Frederick ruthlessly ended the call.

Charlotte was so angry that she wanted to pour all the milk in front of her over the vase.

But although Charlotte was angry with him, she didn't want Anouk to worry about this. Anouk's health was already poor and couldn't withstand any more stress.

She got up and rushed back to the hospital to make sure Anouk wouldn't notice anything unúsual. But the thought that it was Frederick's order made her feel resistant all over. As soon as Charlotte arrived at the hospital, she ran into Anouk."Grandma!" Charlotte called out and approached her. Anouk's face was initially stern, but it softened when she saw Charlotte. "Charlotte, I heard Frederick got injured. Are you okay? Are you hurt?"She grabbed Charlotte's hand and looked her up and down to see if she was injured.

Charlotte felt very warm inside. She held Anouk's hand and smiled gently."Grandma, I'm fine. Frederick and I weren't together when it happened."

"That's good. Charlotte, as long as you're okay."

Anouk felt a bit relieved. She had only heard that Frederick was injured and thought Charlotte might be hurt too. Charlotte's body was very weak now, and even a slight injury could be fatal for both her and the baby.

At this moment, the door was pulled open from the inside, and Frederick stood at the door on one leg, pulling Charlotte's hand with a doting expression.

Frederick rarely softened his tone and said to Anouk, "Grandma, as long as she's okay, does it not matter if I'm hurt?"

"You brat! How dare you eavesdrop on us!"

Anouk scolded him playfully, then saw that Frederick didn't seem to be seriously injured, just had a cast on his leg, and felt a bit more at ease."

Besides your leg, where else are you hurt?"

Frederick said naturally, "Just my leg,and some minor scrapes elsewhere.

If you don't believe me,you can ask Charlotte."

He smiled warmly,holding Charlotte's hand up to his face.
