Chapter 7 Before I could say a word , Joseph immediately stepped forward to defend my father . " Grandmother , it's all mom's fault . She spoiled and indulged Charlotte when she was alive , raising her to be this arrogant and willful . " " If she had changed her arrogant and domineering attitude sooner , and become as gentle and graceful as Tiffany , maybe Dad and we would have spoiled her too . " Oliver immediately picked up where Joseph left off . " Charlotte , the reason Dad and I acted this way was to toughen you up and help you grow into a worthy heir to the company . You should try to understand our good intentions . " As they shamelessly stood there defending their actions , I couldn't help but sneer . " So , according to you two , everything is my late mother's fault ? You two are blaming her for not teaching me properly ? " I said , looking at them with disgust . " You two are really shameless . My mother took you both in out of kindness , nurtured you , and gave you a place in the company , and now , after she's gone , you're slandering her and bullying her only daughter ? " Seeing that my grandmother was ignoring them and I wasn't buying into their manipulation , the two brothers finally showed their true colors . " Charlotte , are you sure you want to make enemies of us ? " I looked at them with contempt . " Don't think that just because I used to regard you as brothers , I'm afraid of you . Even if you want to fight with me , you won't win . " After all , my grandmother is the wealthiest woman in Althoria , and I'm now in charge of the Ironclad Group . What do you two , mere orphans , have to fight against me ? " I added , looking them up and down . My father stared at me , disappointment written all over his face . " Charlotte ! How can you be so heartless to your own father and brothers ? Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the world ? Aren't you afraid of being struck down by lightning ? " I shrugged , voice indifferent . " When you called Tiffany your daughter at the ceremony , and when you and my two brothers beat me , we're done .

When the housekeepers told me that the rooms had been cleaned up , I immediately ordered my bodyguards , " Throw these strangers out . They're never allowed near the villa again without my permission . " After such a chaotic day , my grandmother was exhausted and decided to rest . I made my way to the small memorial space in the living room , lighting a candle in memory of my mother . I stood there for a moment , looking at her photo , as if to let her know that I hadn't forgotten her . I knew that , in some way , her spirit was still with me , watching over me and guiding me through this second chance at life . I dreamed of my mother that night . She was as gentle as always , calling my name softly , holding me close as she told me bedtime stories and cooked me delicious meals . In the end , she kissed my forehead and relieved , saying , " My Charlotte has finally grown up . ' When I woke up , my pillow was soaked , and my eyes were swollen and red . The next day , my grandmother held a grand succession ceremony for me , officially making me the head of the Ironclad Group .
