Chapter 76
It was a particularly sensitive and critical time.
If her father had really done something illegal behind the scenes.
Maybe…
She didn’t dare let her thoughts go any further.
She also deeply resented those with questionable conduct.
But as a daughter, how could she just watch her father spend the rest of his life in prison?
“Dad, did you really do those things?”
“If you really did, is there any way to make it right?”
Thinking of this.
She immediately picked up the phone, wanting to call her father.
But after dialing, she regretted it.
In front of her, her father was always the loving, dependable parent.
Of course he would only show his best side.
Even if she asked, her father would never tell her the truth.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The call was quickly connected.

On the other end came Gordon’s affectionate voice, “Hello.”
Charlotte’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly as she tried to steady her emotions. “Dad.”
“Lottie, what made you think of calling Dad at this hour? Did something happen?”
“Dad…”
Charlotte’s throat tightened, but she forced a cheerful tone. “I just wanted to hear your voice. I’ve been busy with work lately and haven’t had much time to talk to you.”
On the other end, Gordon chuckled softly. “Silly girl, do you think I don’t know you? Did something upset you? Tell Dad about it.”
Charlotte felt a sting at the tip of her nose, and her eyes instantly
reddened.
She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn’t mention Timothy’s threats. “It’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered how you used to take me to the park to fly kites when I was little. Those were such good times…
Gordon laughed even more heartily at that. “That’s right. You always chased after the kite, and even when you fell, you never cried. You just got up and kept running. Now that I think about it, my Lottie has always had a stubborn streak since she was a child.”
“Sigh, in the blink of an eye, my little girl has grown up. Soon you’ll be a mother yourself. Time really flies.”
Charlotte paused, then cautiously probed, “Dad, have you ever done anything you regret?”

Gordon was taken aback. “Something I regret?”
“Lottie, why are you asking this? Did something happen?”
“N–no, nothing.”
Gordon paused for a few seconds, then spoke with deep affection, “Lottie, no matter what happens, you must tell Mom and Dad. As long as we’re here, we’ll always have your back.”
Hearing this, Charlotte felt a pang in her chest, as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.
Her father’s words were indeed full of fatherly love.
But they also sounded… like the tone of someone who would use their position for personal gain.
“Dad, it’s nothing. Let’s leave it at that!”
“You child, what’s really going on?”
Charlotte’s eyes grew hot, afraid she would start crying. “It’s nothing, Dad. I still have work to do here, I’ll hang up now.”
With that, she hung up the phone directly.
Her parents had always doted on her since she was little.
Especially her father, who could be said to have spoiled her.
She had never imagined that her father could have another side.
“Dad, what if you really did something you can’t let anyone know about? What should I do then?”

“Should I have you turn yourself in and hope for leniency?”
“No, no, maybe I should have you resign before things fall apart?”
She couldn’t think of a better solution for the moment.
“Ugh, ugh.”
The heavy thoughts made her retch uncontrollably again.
The pregnancy symptoms were too strong; she was really suffering.
She instinctively touched her belly and couldn’t help but complain, “…Gregory, what are you so busy with? Are you really too busy to even return my call?”
She desperately needed comfort right now.
