Chapter 163:
“Lottie, I think Manfred is nice to you, are you really not going to tell him?” Diana suddenly said with emphasis, “Aren’t you brave? If you really don’t dare, then I’ll do the talking for you, OK?”
She was eager to try, the little demon in her heart had come out, and then she couldn’t control it.
When he said he wanted to speak for her, Charlotte was surprised. Before she could realize it, she unconsciously said, “No.” The hope in Diana’s eyes faded.
A silence fell between them.
No one said anything, both were lost in thought.
Diana stared at Charlotte, her hand under the table clenched tightly.
She thought that after telling Charlotte the news, she would be very happy. After all, she and Manfred were very close, weren’t they? So she could keep him, why was she still bothering Kennedy?
Sometimes Diana thought Charlotte went too far. She seduced two men at the same time.
Diana completely forgot the fact that she took Charlotte’s identity and cheated on her.
When they parted, Diana came home with a heavy heart and discovered that her older brother’s car was at home. She asked the servant a little quizzically, “Hasn’t my brother gone to the company today?”.
The maid replied respectfully, “It seems that Mr. Zain is sick today. He is working from home.”
Diana was taken aback, “Is he sick? I’m going to take a look.”
The maid hastened to say, “Miss Diana, Lord Zain has ordered that no one is to disturb him.”
“You are joking, I am his sister, what do you mean by disturbing? I just want to visit my sick brother, what are you talking about?” Diana made an angry face.
The maid ducked her head, afraid to say anything.
Diana went straight upstairs and headed for Zain’s room.
It turned out that Zain’s room was unlocked and there were people in it.
“Mr. Nelson, this is all the information you asked me to look into about Miss Wilson.”
It was Megan’s voice. Diana hurried to lean against the door and listen to what was going on inside.
“Well, bring her in.” Zain’s deep voice was husky, and he sounded like he was really uncomfortable.
Megan continued, “Mr. Nelson, why did you ask me to investigate Miss Wilson, just because she is a friend of Miss Diana? According to the results of the investigation, this girl named Charlotte is a girl with good personal qualities in all aspects. But… her encounter is a bit unfortunate.”
In fact, Megan should not have said these things. Normally, if she said this, Zain wouldn’t care about her, and besides, she was learning to be concise.
But Megan saw that Zain was really interested in Charlotte’s affairs these days, so she unconsciously mentioned a little more about her.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Megan coughed slightly. Just when she thought she was talking too much and was about to stop, she heard Zain whisper, “Sorry?”
“Yes.” Megan nodded, “Her previous husband had a mistress since he got married, but Miss Wilson didn’t find out for two years. Suddenly, her husband won the lottery one day and she thought she could live a good life. However, he divorced and the mistress became pregnant and replaced her. In the end, Miss Wilson was left with nothing.”
Hearing this, Zain frowned unconsciously, “Nothing?”
“Yes. Actually, the marriage between the Wilson Family and the Moore Family was supposed to belong to Miss Wilson’s sister, Christina. But when Miss Wilson’s mother found out that the person Christina was to marry was a disabled person, and it turned out that Miss Wilson was divorced, she wanted Miss Wilson to marry into the Moore Family.”
“What we saw in the meeting room that day…probably…is Charlotte’s current situation.”
After hearing these words, Zain did not say a word, but lightly pressed his slender fingertips on the tabletop, making a dull sound. Although he was expressionless, Megan knew he was a little angry when she saw his movement.
But… Why was he angry?
It hadn’t been long since he’d met Charlotte – could it be… love at first sight?
But it shouldn’t be that. Although Charlotte had suffered misfortune and was nice, she wasn’t beautiful enough to make people fall in love at first sight, was she?
No, beauty was not the first condition for love at first sight. After all, Zain was a different man, he was never seduced by beauty.
But if he liked Charlotte, she was a married woman.
Thinking about this, Megan wanted to remind Zain of this nicely, but seeing his face sharp as a knife, she stopped herself.
Forget it, this man was very discreet about everything, so she shouldn’t be clingy.
And Diana, who was eavesdropping outside the door, overheard the conversation between the two people. After the conversation inside paused, Diana’s face turned pale, like a white paper pulled out of the water. She was horribly pale.
Did Zain really ask secretary Megan to look into Charlotte?
Why, and did he really ask about Charlotte for the first time, as if he cared about her?
At the thought of her impersonation, Diana felt faint. Zain was always so indifferent to her, did he still doubt her identity?
Or, did he not accept her as his sister in earnest from the beginning?
And now that he saw Charlotte, he started to investigate her.
No, no…
She finally got the identity, the daughter of the Nelson Family. There were a lot of people fawning over her. She could live a life of luxury every day, live in a big house that everyone envied, buy all kinds of perfume bags, cosmetics and fancy clothes. There were many women who envied her.
She had already lived the best life, and she could never lose it.
What should she do? Diana was so anxious that her eyes were red, and the people inside spoke again.
Megan said, “Mr. Nelson, if there’s nothing else, I’m going back first.”
“Okay.”
Then the sound of footsteps was heard, Diana realized she was still standing in the doorway of Zain’s room, and Secretary Megan was about to leave.
She couldn’t let secretary Megan know she was listening to them.
Diana hurried away.
She hid in a corner and watched as Megan came out of Zain’s room and down the stairs.
In the middle, Megan turned her head and looked in the direction she was facing. She seemed to be aware of her. Diana hurriedly hid behind the wall, frightened, and became very nervous.
Megan was the secretary Zain valued, if he found out….
Fortunately, the sound of high heels disappeared, and Diana found herself in a cold sweat and sat weakly against the wall.
What was she to do? Zain had already begun to investigate Charlotte – would he find out that Charlotte was the biological daughter of the Nelson Family? If it was discovered, what could she do?
She didn’t want to go back to the dark life of before.
No, she had to think of a solution, think of a solution…..
