The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 541

Since they were attending Mr. Hugh Austin's birthday celebration, Rebecca knew she couldn't go empty-handed.

The next day was Saturday, so Rebecca took the four little ones shopping at the mall.

She recalled the old gentleman enjoyed fine collectibles, so she bought a handsome set of antique worry beads. Afterward, she selected some rare tea leaves and a handcrafted teapot to go with them.

Thinking Dylan might not have prepared anything, she also purchased some premium health supplements and a bottle of vintage brandy.

After making her purchases, she had the bodyguards take the gifts to the car while she took the four little ones to a restaurant for brunch.

But just then, Katherine and Jane happened to walk into the same restaurant.

Ethan, with his sharp eyes, quietly tugged on Noah's sleeve. "Noah, look. That's Mom's old foster mother and her daughter."

After Rebecca had mentioned them, Noah had already done his research on Katherine and Jane Foster, learning how they had thrown their mother out of the house when she was pregnant with the four of them.

If it weren't for their godmother, Bella, and Uncle William, their mom would have been homeless.

The four little ones were furious.

Noah's brow furrowed, his eyes turning cold.

Aiden and Evan also glared in Katherine and Jane's direction, their small hands balling into fists.

At the same time, Katherine turned and saw Rebecca with the four children.

Her expression flickered before she immediately strode over. "Rebecca, are these four... all your children?"

Rebecca didn't answer, simply watching her in silence.

Katherine scoffed disdainfully. "You? Make me regret it? Who do you think you are? You think I'm scared of a little brat like you?"

Noah ignored her, instead pulling out his phone and sending a quick message.

Rebecca's face darkened. She looked at Katherine and said, "Katherine, don't go too far."

Katherine sneered. "Hmph, *I'm* going too far? You lived in our house, ate our food, and then you got pregnant out of wedlock, disgracing the Foster family name. You should have disappeared with these bastards instead of showing your face in public."

Jane was also shocked. "Rebecca, I told you back then to get rid of them. I can't believe you actually had them all."

Rebecca's voice was icy. "I've already cut all ties with you. What right do you have to judge my life? Whether or not I have my children is none of your business, and it's certainly not your place to tell me what to do."

Ethan chimed in, "That's right! Having us was the best decision Mom ever made."
