Chapter 1265

“Ms. Lindberg…” said Lupine before she signaled with her eyes.

Charlotte turned around and was stunned when she saw Louis and Diana naked on the bed.

“W-What is going on? Louis, how did this…?” blurted Charlotte, who didn’t really know what to say or do.

“Listen to me, Charlotte,” explained Louis as he quickly wrapped himself up in a robe. He hurried over to Charlotte to say, “I thought she was you, and that is the only reason I…”

“So that means… The two of you…” said Charlotte. Her gaze was on Diana, who was still half-naked. Realization ambushed Charlotte, and she pointed out, “Then could it be… The last two times…”

“N-No, that’s not it,” insisted Louis while shaking his head, “The two of us slept together on the two other occasions…”

“No,” replied Charlotte. She put her hand on her temple and tried to recall the past despite the headache ambushing her. Then, she said, “I have always suddenly fallen asleep whenever we are together, and I never knew what happened after that. When I wake up, we would’ve already…”

Charlotte paused. She stared at Diana in surprise before she added, “Diana had always offered me a drink just before we get together. Could it be…?”

“We’ll know if she spiked your drink as soon as we run the test. Good thing I’m always prepared,” informed Lupine before she picked up Charlotte’s cup. The former had a strip with her and could perform the test right away.

“Examine that too,” instructed Charlotte while pointing at Louis’ cup.

“Understood,” replied Morgan, who was quick to retrieve the cup.

“There is no need for that,” growled Sherlyn before she turned to Diana and instructed, “Get you a*s over!”

Diana was practically crawling when she approached Sherlyn with teary eyes. In a voice thick with tears, Diana said, “Aunt Sherlyn, I…”

Slap! Sherlyn slapped Diana mercilessly and right across the face. The former was so angry that she was roaring through her gritted teeth when she demanded, “Are you going to make me run the tests, or are you going to confess your crimes?”

“I…” murmured Diana. She was crying so much that she was trembling. Unfortunately, she knew that there was no way of hiding the truth anymore, so she knelt on the floor and answered, “This is all my fault. I have always loved Louis, and I wanted to be with him. That is the only reason I…”

“N-No, that is not possible,” muttered Louis as he shook his head nervously and denial, “No, it was Charlotte. It had to be…”

“You b*tch! I can’t believe you did something so vile,” scolded Sherlyn, who slapped Diana across the face again before adding, “Do you really think that we’d accept you just because you slept with Louis just this once? At the end of the day, you are still a b*tch, and Louis will never marry you!”

Diana didn’t dare to respond to those words. She simply knelt on the floor and sobbed.

Charlotte, however, knew exactly what Sherlyn was implying. Sherlyn is trying to get Diana to deny having slept with Louis on the two previous occasions and only admit to the one time that they are caught together…

“Charlotte, I will teach this b*tch a lesson,” promised Sherlyn after she turned around to face Charlotte. The former requested, “Men inevitably make mistakes, and Louis was conned by that vile b*tch. He didn’t do anything of his own free will, so please forgive him.”

“I have never blamed him, but I don’t think I slept with him the last two times we were supposedly together. I think she has always been the one who was with him,” said Charlotte as she narrowed her eyes at Diana.

“How is that possible? That night in Arkfield, I saw with my own eyes that you and Louis…” insisted Sherlyn.

“I have proof that suggests otherwise. Would you like to see it?” interrupted Charlotte as she put on a small grin.

“N-No, that is not possible. That can’t be! Charlotte, I was with you…” said Louis who kept shaking his head.

Charlotte signaled Lupine and got the latter to produce a laptop to play a video.

“As you know, Lady Sherlyn, I was poisoned in the past. That incident traumatized me, and I developed a habit of setting up a surveillance camera before I go to bed. I never thought I’d accidentally record something that I shouldn’t. My vision is not perfect, so perhaps you should take a look?”

As Charlotte spoke, the video started playing. It featured Louis’ room and showed how Diana gave Charlotte the spiked drink. After that, Diana pretended to be Charlotte and slept with Louis.
