Chapter 1257
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Lupine soon found the footage of the surveillance camera and played it on the laptop. What they saw was a shocking, intense moment.
When Morgan leaned over, she freaked out. âHoly cr*p! W-Who is this?â
âI think this is Sir Louisâ room. The manâs Sir Louis, and the womanâsâ¦â Lupine leaned in before her jaw dropped.
âThatâs Diana!â
Morganâs eyes went wide. âIt canât be true, can it? W-Whatâs going on?â
âOh d*mn! This is⦠This is borderline porn!â
Lupine quickly lowered the volume and turned around to cover her eyes.
On the other hand, Charlotte stared at the screen in silence. After a while, she said, âMake a copy of this video and save it.â
âWhatâs going on, Ms. Lindberg?â Morgan queried.
âCould it be that, last nightâ¦â Lupine speculated. âNo, it canât be. You were in the room too. Did they still do it while you wereâ¦â
âReplay the video,â Charlotte told her instead. âPlay it normally when Diana is pouring a glass of water. See if she made any extra moves.â
âUnderstood.â Lupine worked on it right away, and soon, she noticed something amiss. âDiana added something into the water.â
âWhat is it?â Morgan leaned over.
Lupine resumed the video. In the video, Diana was bringing the glass to Charlotte.
âOh my god. Sheâs the one who poisoned Ms. Lindberg!â Morgan nearly leaped to her feet in anger. âIâm taking her down right away.â
âDonât be rash,â Charlotte calmly said. âI doubt itâs poison. Itâs probably just some drug to keep me in deep sleep.â
âWhat is she trying to do?â Morgan wondered out loud.
âCould it be that she knocked you out before doing it with Sir Louis?â Lupine guessed. âThatâs disgusting.â
âThat means that nothing happened between Louis and me back at Arkfield manor,â Charlotte pointed out. âStill, I donât understand whatâs with the marks on me.â
âIs it possible that Diana hit you?â Lupine hurriedly said.
âThat b*tch,â Morgan gritted out.
âThat is possible,â Charlotte muttered. âI remembered that when I woke up, some of the marks hurt.â
Then, she abruptly pinched Morganâs arm a few times.
âOw!â Morgan cried out before rubbing the sore spots.
Charlotte then pulled her arm over. As expected, there were red marks on it. Finally, she realized what was going on. âOh Diana, Diana. It seems like Iâve underestimated her.â
âWhy would she do this?â Lupine contemplated out loud. âShe slept with Sir Louis, and she framed you for it. Itâs not like sheâs getting anything out of this.â
âBut, itâs a different matter if she bears Louisâ child in her.â Charlotte sneered. âThis is probably the only way she can leap past the rungs of the ladder. In fact, this leap of hers will bring her straight to the top of the ladder.â
Lupine gasped. âNo wonder Diana keeps giving me an odd feeling. I thought I was being unfair to her because I didnât see her do anything, but it turns out that sheâs been doing all sorts of evil deeds in the shadows.â
Knock, knock, came the sounds from the door. Then, Avrilâs solemn voice traveled into their ears. âMs. Lindberg, Sir Robert, and Lady Sherlyn have invited you to the study room.â
âTell her Iâll be there in half an hour.â
As Charlotte spoke, she shot a look at Lupine, who quickly saved the video and kept away the laptop.
It was then Morgan opened the door to convey Charlotteâs message to Avril.
âOkay,â Avril replied before leaving.
While Charlotte went to the bathroom to wash up, Lupine and Morgan made preparations. The two of them were waiting eagerly for Charlotte to confront the Laurents.
As Charlotte showered, she mulled over the entire incident. After a while of rumination, she called Danrique, but he did not pick up.
She had a bad feeling about the whole situation, and her eyes darkened.
