“Lady Sherlyn, did you call me here to interrogate me?”
Raising her gaze at Sherlyn, Charlotte’s attitude was firm, as if what happened was so trivial it wasn’t even worth mentioning.
“How dare you throw that question back at me?” Sherlyn’s anger intensified. “You and Louis are going to be married the day after. And yet, you created such a scene. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Lowering her gaze, Charlotte apologized sincerely, “What happened was my mistake. There’s some misunderstanding behind it, but I won’t go into details. Nevertheless, I admit my mistake. Lady Sherlyn, you have all the right to admonish me but please don’t take it out on my subordinates as they have nothing to do with it.”
“I’m surprised that you realize your mistake.” The more she thought about it, the angrier Sherlyn became. “And yet, I assumed you knew how to stay chaste considering that you came from an illustrious family. I didn’t expect you to be no different from a slut on the street for committing such a disgraceful act!”
“You’ve gone overboard!” Morgan snapped.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?” Sherlyn pointed at Morgan furiously. “Give her a beating!”
A few of her maids stepped forward and restrained Morgan. At the same time, Diana raised her hand to hit her.
“I dare you!” Morgan resisted at once.
When Lupine and the other two bodyguards were about to stop them, more than ten soldiers raised their weapons and aimed at them.
“Lady Sherlyn-”
Slap!
Before Charlotte could say a word, Morgan bore the brunt of a slap from Diana.
Lupine and the others were stunned as they didn’t expect Morgan to really get beaten.
Just when Diana was going to continue, Charlotte stepped up, grabbed her wrist, and shoved her aside. “I dare you to do it again!”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Lindberg. I was just following orders,” Diana replied with a fearful expression.
