Before he could, a tall figure blocked his way.
Timothy looked up. It was Gregory.
“Uncle Gregory,” Timothy greeted nervously with a forced smile.
Gregory’s gorgeous face clouded. He warned, “Timothy, behave. Leave Charlotte alone.”
Timothy tightened his grasp on the glass. “Uncle Gregory, I don’t follow.”
“It’s a warning. Stay away from her. If you hurt her again, I’ll kick you and your mom out of the Bradford family.”
Gregory gave him a warning look before walking away.
Scared, Timothy gasped and almost smashed the glass in his hand.
Although he had lived with the Bradford family for over ten years, he was still an outsider.
He raised his head and looked at his mom.
Evelin was still motioning with her eyes for him to mollify Charlotte. “Go.”
Then, she turned around to look after Jerome with a fawning smile.
The man was a retard only capable of basic bodily needs like eating. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have married a divorcee with a kid.
“Yes, my mom is right. What does my pride matter before the Lindsey

family’s wealth? Money is everything to a man.
“Why should I let someone else get it? It must be mine!” Timothy mused.
Ignoring Gregory’s warning, he walked toward Charlotte.
She was talking with some social divas from rich families.
Jazmine, whose family ran a jewelry business, quipped, “Lottie, they say your company signed a handsome streamer. Will you introduce him to me?”
“What are you gonna do?”
“Nothing. I just wanna meet a gorgeous guy.‘
Charlotte smiled, “No problem. I’ll arrange a dinner and introduce him to you.”
Another rich girl named Arabella commented enviously, “Lottie is so competent. She’s our age, and she’s already running her own company.
“Lottie, can I join your company? I can invest. I wanna be a
businesswoman, too.”
“Haha. When you graduate from college, maybe. Then, you’ll have more time and energy.” Charlotte planned to leave after some pleasantries.
Biologically, she was a 20–year–old college student.
But in terms of mentality, she was as mature as a person in her thirties. She had nothing in common with these girls.
“Charlotte…” Timothy greeted her with a glass of wine in his hand.
After a glance at him, Charlotte took a few steps back vigilantly and

walked toward the crowd.
Timothy trotted to catch up with her. “Lottie, I came to apologize. I–I was drunk that day. I didn’t know what I was doing.
“Will you forgive me? Give me another chance.”
Charlotte said coldly, “Timothy, we’re done. Leave me alone.”
“You’re dumping me because of a tiny problem? We grew up together. We’re childhood sweethearts. Don’t these years mean anything to you?”
Disgusted, Charlotte snapped, “Stop. We’re not childhood sweethearts, and there was no love between us. You were only using me as a money- spinner!”

Timothy was embarrassed by Charlotte’s words.
He moved in with the Bradford family when he was a boy and had never felt he belonged. Over time, he became extremely sensitive.
He wouldn’t admit he was a sponge.
Y
In his previous life, he succeeded with the Lindsey family’s help. But he had always pretended otherwise.
Charlotte wanted to leave.
Afraid to lose this golden opportunity, Timothy put his pride aside and caught up with her again. “Charlotte, wait,”
Charlotte turned her head. “Anything else?”
Timothy breathed and pretended to be mysterious. “I hear you developed a chat app and wanna enter the live streaming industry.”

Charlotte glanced at him coolly. “So?”

Timothy walked closer and looked down at her. “Not that I belittle you. You’re not cut out for business. I’ve tried your app. There are too many
bugs.
“It may be popular now, but it won’t do in the long run. To be successful, you need professionalism in management and publicity.”
Charlotte raised her eyebrows. “So?”
Timothy straightened, thinking his experience in his previous life had finally come to use. “I can make your app the most influential domestic live streaming platform.”
“Huh!” Charlotte looked at him up and down with a sneer.
Timothy might’ve depended on the Lindsey family in his previous life, but he was not completely a loser.
