Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson returned to the villa to find, as expected, a group of kids gathered around the computer; only this time there was an addition—a key figure—
Jonathan Thompson.
"I thought you had some powerful background, daring to slander our Charlotte like that. They're really trying to grab attention by any means necessary."
The computer Jonathan controlled let out a cold chime, and when he looked up and saw Charlotte enter, he began to speak.
"I know you took Jack and Chad to the Ross Family today, so I thought I'd stay with you. Otherwise, how could these unscrupulous media tarnish our reputation at will?"
"It's not a big deal."
Charlotte replied simply, as long as the kids weren't hurt, that was the best outcome for her.
Then she shook the gift box in her hand and smiled toward the kids, "Fruit cake."
The kids, who had been hovering around Jonathan, couldn't resist the temptation of fruit cake and one by one ran over to Charlotte's side.
