Wayne about it, I can keep your secret in exchange.â
âHuh? What are you talking about? I donât have any secret,â Charlotte asked, frowning. âI know you have something to do with the fire that broke out at the hotel before.â Charlotte flushed immediately, and she then stuttered, âYou...â
âActually, Iâve got to the bottom of it a week after that. But I didnât tell anyone about it.â âAnna, are you threatening me?â
âNo, youâre overthinking it. Actually, Iâm trying to make a deal with you. You met me here today and showed me this file for some purpose, right? Iâm sure youâre not doing this out of concern for me.â
Anna then pointed her finger at the paper bag and stated, âIn any case, Iâm sure you have your own reasons. So, tell me exactly what you want me to do for you.â
After a long pause, Charlotte scowled and confessed. âOkay, I admit I did it for other reasons. But, Anna, please trust me when I say I didnât aim to hurt you. I came here to meet you since we have common interests. Otherwise, I would have talked to Wayne about it immediately.â
Anna gave her a blank stare and didnât say anything.
âHonestly, I had no idea about it and assumed that you two were just dating. But someone informed me that the relationship between you two was far more complicated than everyone thought.â
Anna furrowed her brow and asked, âWhat? Who was it?â She figured that only the Wrightsâ housekeeper back then knew the truth âWell, it was Ada.â
Anna immediately exclaimed in surprise, âAda?!â Ever since she and Wayne began dating, she hadnât seen Ada in roughly six months The last time she saw Ada was at that reception in Seriel City. They didnât say anything but just stared at each other from afar.
Anna couldnât believe that Ada knew the truth and had told Charlotte.
âShe was the one who planned the fire. Later, I discovered that she had taken advantage of me.â Charlotte said angrily
