Charlotte walked up to Peter and squatted down. "Do you need me to take you to kindergarten?"
"No, it's not necessary," Peter shyly lowered his head. "Anna said she would accompany me."
Charlotte looked at Anna, who was practically patting her own chest to assure everyone. Considering that Gorya was also there, Charlotte didn't insist any further.
Accompanied by Charlotte, Joe arrived at the hotel where the banquet had taken place the previous night and went straight up to the room.
"Last night..." Speaking of the previous night, the two bodyguards wore awkward expressions. "They stayed up all night until dawn, so they probably haven't woken up yet."
"They?" Charlotte looked puzzled when she heard this. Even though she understood every word, she somehow couldn't grasp the meaning when they were put together.
Joe nodded, glancing at his wristwatch. "Wake them up."
He took a few steps back with Charlotte, moving away from the door.
"Inside, it's..." Charlotte began to form a guess. "Is it Sandra?"
Joe kept a calm expression as he nodded. "Last night, she bribed a waiter to drug me, but she didn't know I had already received a tip-off, even though that waiter was on my side."
The drink prepared by Sandra had been swapped out by the waiter, and the real problem lay in the glass in her hand.
"Then..."
Before Charlotte could finish her sentence, she heard a scream from inside the room. Shortly after, Sandra, disheveled and disarrayed, flung open the door to the room.
Her assistant trailed behind her.
Sandra bore visible marks on her body, leaving no doubt as to what had happened.
Seeing Joe standing at the doorway, Sandra could no longer contain her emotions. She erupted into a tirade, "Joe! Are you even a man? I, a woman like me, offered myself to you, and you pushed me onto someone else!"
