Chapter 1267

“Diana could never sneak into Louis’ room if you hadn’t been helping and masterminding everything from behind the scenes. Similarly, she would never have the guts to do something like that if you hadn’t been supporting her. All of this is your doing!” sneered Charlotte.

Then, Charlotte added, “It’s a pity. You meant well and were trying to get Louis and me together. Who would’ve thought that you’d end up helping Diana instead? I bet you’re feeling terrible now.”

“F*ck you!” shouted Sherlyn. She was furious and put her hand up to slap Charlotte.

Charlotte, however, was agile and grabbed Sherlyn’s wrist in time. The former frowned and warned, “You are Louis’

mother and a senior. That is why I have been respectful toward you and compromised as much as I did. Still, that doesn’t mean that you can bully me!”

After saying her piece, Charlotte pushed Sherlyn away angrily.

That push got Sherlyn to stumble backward a little, and she almost fell. Fortunately, the maid standing behind Sherlyn was fast enough to catch Sherlyn.

“You really are something else, Charlotte Lindberg,” roared Sherlyn, “How dare you behave like this? Don’t forget that you are still under my roof! Do you think I’d let you go just because something like this happened? Allow me to share something with you. You will never leave without my permission!”

“I know,” replied Charlotte before her lips curved into a smile. She pointed out, “There is no way to win a verbal argument against you now, and there is nothing I can do if you insist on being unreasonable. Still… What do you think Louis will do?”

“You…” grumbled Sherlyn, who was instantly stunned. She’s right! I know my son all too well, and he will never be able to accept this. He will surely feel so ashamed that he won’t be able to face Charlotte, and that means he will either run away from home or send Charlotte away.

“You’d better decide soon if you still wish to be a part of your son’s life. Naturally, I don’t want to hurt Louis. I may not love him, but he is still my best friend, and he is innocent in this, after all,” reminded Charlotte as she sat on the sofa.

Charlotte felt horrible when she said that last sentence. She actually thought long and hard before she made that move. She knew how much the ugly truth would hurt Louis, and she didn’t want to hurt him, but she had no choice.

Moreover, some things were destined to be revealed, eventually.

Charlotte was not the culprit, so she couldn’t take the fall forever.

“You evil b*tch!”

Sherlyn was so angry at Charlotte that she was going insane. The former charged ahead to attack the latter again.

“Hold it right there!” roared an angry voice and halted Sherlyn.

“Sir Robert, you are right on time,” greeted Charlotte when she shifted her gaze to the door and saw Robert standing there. She smiled and informed, “It seems your wife’s emotion is unstable. I recommend taking her back to the room and cooing her right away.”

“You truly are a Lindberg, Charlotte. You’re almost as evil as Danrique,” commented Robert. He looked meaningfully at her before adding, “That was a good move.”

“Thank you for the high praise, Sir Robert, but I was simply playing along with someone else’s plan. Hence, Lady Sherlyn is the one who deserves that praise,” replied Charlotte while having her head down humbly.

“You…” grumbled Sherlyn. She was so angry that she might die from high blood pressure.

“Shut your mouth and go back to the room now!” demanded Robert angrily.

After that, Robert left furiously.

“Just you wait, Charlotte Lindberg!” spat Sherlyn.

She glared evilly at Charlotte before she hurried after her husband.

The room was in a mess, so Charlotte didn’t want to stay there either. Hence, the maid got her to another room.

Lupine and Morgan followed Charlotte to the other room. They inspected every inch of the room and were certain that there were no bugs in there. Only then were they able to relax.

“Ms. Lindberg, do you think Sir Robert will actually be able to keep Lady Sherlyn in control?” asked Morgan curiously, “I noticed how he has always compromised whenever she behaves unreasonably.”

“He compromises on minor issues, but he is still in charge of major problems,” replied Charlotte with a frown, “Besides, they don’t have a choice in the matter right now. This incident truly hurt Louis, and I’m guessing that he is on the verge of breaking down. He will surely run away from home if I don’t leave.”

“Sir Louis truly drew the short stick this time,” said Morgan before she sighed deeply, “No one can accept something so evil happening to themselves.”
