When Dominic heard Amelia’s words, he was naturally displeased, as evidenced by his frown.

Meanwhile, Karen and William were afraid that Amelia’s words would make Dominic upset with them.

“Amelia, what are you saying?! He’s your great-grandfather. Quickly greet him properly!” Karen yelled at Amelia.

Amelia gripped Cheyenne’s clothes even more tightly, refusing to go over.

Children were extremely sensitive to the emotions of others. Although Dominic was smiling, Amelia saw the ferocious gaze in his eyes when he was glaring at her and her mom.

Seeing that Amelia refused to go over, Karen grabbed Amelia’s arm and pulled her over. “What’s the matter with you? You’re so young but already so rude. You’re not greeting your elders properly!”

“Mom!” Cheyenne immediately went forward to stop her, overwhelmed with anger. Amelia is still so young. She’s going to get hurt by being yanked so hard!

“She’s being rude to your grandfather. Why aren’t you hurrying to discipline her? Instead, you’re still defending her. You’ve spoiled her rotten!” Karen exclaimed at Cheyenne.

“I remember that we’ve already been disowned by the Carters. How is my grandfather and Amelia’s great-grandfather?” Cheyenne retorted coldly. She then picked Amelia up and headed upstairs.

She was truly speechless toward Dominic Carter.

“Cheyenne, it was indeed my fault for what happened before. It’s also my fault for causing you to harbor resentment toward me. I’m here today to apologize to you. Please forgive me!” Dominic’s old voice sounded from behind.

Cheyenne stopped in her tracks. Since when has Dominic Carter ever apologized to me in such a mellow manner?

She never remembered him ever doing so.

In an instant, all the numerous grievances and mistreatments that she had suffered began surfacing, making her tear up and feel a strong urge to cry her heart out.

Unfortunately, Dominic’s previous actions had long gotten rid of the familial affection she had toward him as a granddaughter. She had also gotten a clear look at his true colors.

The fact that he came to their home today and unexpectedly offered his apologies was really unlike Dominic Carter.

She felt that things were fishy and that he definitely had a hidden agenda.

Cheyenne got a grip on her emotions and carried Amelia upstairs quietly.

“Cheyenne!” Karen called out her name incessantly, but she ignored her and returned to her room.

“Uh, Dominic, I’m sorry. We’ve spoiled Cheyenne rotten, and she’s too insensible. Please don’t hold it against her,” Karen hurriedly explained.

Dominic took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart before waving his hand and pretending to be sad. “I can’t blame her. I’m old, and my days are numbered. I’ve been strict to my children and grandchildren, all for their own good, but who knew… Ahhh!”

Seeing this, William immediately felt heartache and grabbed Dominic’s hand. “Dad, don’t say that. You’re healthy, and the Carter family needs you.”

The loving scene of an affectionate father and his son was taking place in the living room downstairs.

So when Charlotte came home, she was shocked to see the two of them talking to each other affectionately.

She couldn’t help but blink her eyes, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

“Charlotte, you’re finally back. Your grandfather has been waiting here for a long time!” Karen hurriedly took Charlotte’s hand and walked over.

Dominic’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Charlotte with a heartened look before saying warmly, “Charlotte used to be a little girl. In the blink of an eye, she has already become a beautiful young woman!”

When Charlotte heard this unprecedented praise from Dominic Carter, she was extremely surprised and disgusted at the same time.

“Save it. Just get straight to the point,” Charlotte said hostilely.

“Charlotte, watch your tone with your grandfather. What happened to your manners?” William berated Charlotte with a dark expression. What’s going on today? Dad finally made a trip here to ask us to move back in with the Carters, yet Cheyenne and Charlotte have been so hostile to him. What if he really gets angry?

Charlotte sneered. “Bryce Carter came to look for me this afternoon, and now it’s Grandpa’s turn. You guys can drop the pretense. I’ll get straight to it. I can’t fulfill Bryce’s request, so you’d better look for someone else.”

Karen looked bewildered. “What request? What’s going on?”

William had a furious expression. “What nonsense are you spouting? Your grandpa came here to ask us to go back to the Carter family. He also asked us to move back to the main residence and offered me a job at the Carter Corporation. Your grandpa is being so kind. Don’t upset him.”

William stated what happened explicitly, but he was also warning Charlotte, fearing that she might end up angering Dominic and causing him to change his mind.

After hearing this, Charlotte said sarcastically, “Oh, I see. Grandpa is here to throw a Trojan Horse at us! Indeed, he’s pulling the same tricks as Bryce. He first played the kinship card and then tried to lure me. No wonder he’s your grandson.”

After saying that, Charlotte ignored William’s paling face and continued, “Isn’t this just a trick you’re playing to get us to go to the Sawyers to plead for mercy so that they’ll let the Carters off?”

Karen and William both froze in shock for a moment.

Despite having been directly exposed by Charlotte, Dominic did not seem awkward at all and still continued pretending to be kind. “Charlotte, I know that we have some misunderstandings between us, but we’re still a family after all. I came here today because I’m really worried about you guys. I also have some things to ask of you. I’ve already punished Bryce for what he’s done today, and I guarantee he won’t do it again! Charlotte, just tell the Sawyers to be merciful and let us off! We will definitely treat you well in the future.”

After hearing what Dominic said, Karen and William realized that he was not here to catch up with them and reminisce about the past but to get Charlotte to go to plead with the Sawyers.

He chose Charlotte as his target naturally because he still thought that she was going to marry into the Sawyer family, and he was just trying to make up with them out of convenience.

Charlotte laughed self-deprecatingly. “What makes you think that the Sawyers will forgive you on my account? Who am I to influence the Sawyers?”

Dominic said anxiously, “Aren’t you the fiancée of Ethan Sawyer’s son? The Sawyers did that to us because they’re standing up for you. I just need you to explain to them that this is all just a misunderstanding, and things will be resolved soon.”

Charlotte smiled wryly. “What fiancée? Ethan Sawyer’s son has been married for a long time!”
