Charlotte finally realized that the "little girl" was referring to her. So she quickly moved over and picked up the medicine bowl that was placed by Waylon on the table.

She hesitated for a moment and said in a soft voice, "Mr. Clark, this medicine has Huanglian in it, which is very bitter. If you drink it sip by sip, there will be a bitter taste in your mouth when you eat. So, maybe..."

"I said, feed me the medicine," Nelson interrupted coldly.

Charlotte was so scared that she almost trembled.

Waylon was speechless in puzzlement, "..." He thought to himself, "Has the ghost possessed Mr. Clark today? Drinking something so bitter sip by sip is like wanting to die. And he is so harsh on this little girl!"

Looking at Charlotte's slightly aggrieved profile with her lips pressed together, Waylon let out a sigh in her heart.

Charlotte, with her long eyelashes drooping, scooped up a spoonful of black medicine with a sky- blue porcelain spoon. The strong bitterness hit her face, and she wrinkled her delicate nose. Feeling the heat of the medicine, she subconsciously blew on it before feeding it to Nelson's mouth.

Nelson looked at her and drank it.

Charlotte often fed her grandfather medicine, so she was quite skilled in doing these things.

But she just couldn't dare to look at Nelson.

Waylon stood aside, watching Mr. Clark drink the medicine and feeling a bitter taste in his mouth.

As soon as the bowl of medicine was empty and Charlotte was at a loss as to what to do, someone suddenly said from outside, "Mr. Clark, Ms. Lopez's family is here!"

Charlotte was stunned.

Family? Did they mean Jonathan?

Nelson glanced at Charlotte and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Charlotte didn't want to see anyone from the Lopez family, but what if it was her father who regretted it...

She always had a little hope in her heart, so Charlotte nodded.

Nelson said to Waylon, "Prepare breakfast and we'll go after eating."

Waylon was a bit surprised, but didn't show it on his face and just responded.

Charlotte had breakfast alone and then followed the others to the front hall, while Waylon looked at Nelson with some confusion and asked, "Mr. Clark, what do you mean by this?"

Nelson knew what he was asking and casually replied, "She's pretty cute, so just keep her as a pet."

Waylon was speechless, "..." He thought to himself, "What? She's such a nice lady, not something you can just keep like a cat or a dog."

But Waylon didn't dare say much and continued, "Ms. Lopez is an illegitimate child. The Lopez family's visit this time is probably not a good thing."

Nelson paused and said, "Go and see what's happening."

...

In the front hall, Jonathan, Vivian and Aurora were present.

The Lopez family was also a prominent family with over a hundred years of history and a well- known pharmaceutical company in Seyso. Jonathan was relatively mediocre and only knew how to hold onto the family's property. That was why the Lopez Medical Corporation had always been stagnant.

Aurora was the daughter of a wealthy businessman and was in her forties, but still maintained a youthful appearance with exquisite makeup and expensive dresses. She looked very dignified and had a good reputation in her social circle, as she had accepted the daughter of a mistress and raised her by her side. This was something not everyone could do. In front of outsiders, Aurora always appeared to be a good stepmother to Charlotte.

As for Vivian, she was a proud daughter of heaven. She had good grades, played the piano, and learned dance. Looking just like Aurora, she was the school's beauty and had a bright and beautiful face with alluring features. However, perhaps because she was now at the powerful Clark family's compound, her eyes were filled with undisguised caution.

Not to mention Vivian, even Aurora and Jonathan were holding their breaths.

There was no host from the Clark family, and the Lopez family still didn't have the level to demand it. Only a few servants were present.

When Charlotte stepped into the front hall, Jonathan immediately stood up and angrily asked, "Why did it take you so long to come?!"

Charlotte's last remaining hope was instantly shattered.
