At that moment, he merely looked like one of those useless husbands stuck between his mother and the wife.

“I didn’t do anything… I really didn’t do anything!” cried Mrs. Fraser weakly.

There was no way she was going to spill the truth in front of Lochlan. She couldn’t bear for him to hate her.

The little b***h was just too important to her son. If she admitted to everything now, that would mean that all her suffering would have been in vain.

The current Mrs. Fraser no longer bore any resemblance to the dignified and graceful woman from earlier. Instead, she looked completely disheveled while slumped on the floor.

“Ms. Berry, I know you are Charlotte’s teacher. However, from the moment my son brought her home, we’ve been feeding her and clothing her. When she was sick, we brought her to the doctor. When she was in pain, we comforted her. I don’t understand why you think I have anything to do with her disappearance just because I went to the mansion!” wailed Mrs. Fraser as tears ran down her face.

Though she was speaking to Ashlyn, her eyes never left Lochlan. “I might not like her, but at the end of the day, the Fraser family has raised her for so many years. How could I possibly do anything to harm her?”

Mrs. Fraser then broke down even more, as if she had suffered a great wrong.

Lochlan couldn’t bear to see his mother like this, so he crouched down next to her and hugged her tightly.

“Mom, please don’t cry. We’ll find Lottie soon. I’m sure she’ll be okay.”

“Mom, pleose don’t cry. We’ll find Lottie soon. I’m sure she’ll be okoy.”

“I… I’m like every other mother. I don’t hove ony other wish other thon to see my son get morried ond for my doughter-in-low to give me o cute ond heolthy grondchild. All I wonted wos for Chorlotte to move bock in with me when my son gets o girlfriend. But she refused, so I scolded her o little. Wos thot reolly wrong of me?
