Chapter 1262

Charlotte was good at keeping her cool. After finishing her breakfast, she started reading in her room.

Meanwhile, Lupine and Morgan had returned to the guestroom to rest, leaving Jade and Emma to accompany Charlotte.

Very soon, it was already nightfall, and Lupine and Morgan had woken up from their naps. As it was also time for dinner, Diana had arrived at Charlotte's room with dinner, together with a bottle of red wine.

“Is Louis back yet?” Charlotte asked casually, with a book in her hands.

“He's not back yet, Ms. Lindberg,” Diana answered respectfully. “He has a lot of things to handle today and will be back slightly later.”

“Really? What is he busy with?” Charlotte lifted her wine glass and started swirling the red wine.

“He had to attend a press conference in the afternoon and had to entertain guests in the evening. He also has to send some VIPs to the airport...” Diana explained.

“I see,” Charlotte nodded. “That makes sense. I'm sure there's a lot for him to settle because of the delay in the wedding.”

“This red wine is from Arkfield. Drinking more might help you sleep better at night,” Diana said thoughtfully.

“Oh, thanks!” Charlotte smiled and continued after a pause, “You may leave now.”

“Alright,” Diana gave a slight bow and retreated from the room.

“Oh, don't forget to ask Louis to look for me when he's back,” Charlotte reminded.

Diana stopped in her tracks at once, while a maid next to her replied instead, “We will, Ms. Lindberg.”

After they left, Charlotte shot a glance at Jade and Emma, who understood what she meant right away. Immediately, the two bodyguards collected a sample of the food and wine for testing.

A short while later, both of them concluded that there was a substance found in the red wine that had similar effects as sleeping pills. One would start feeling drowsy after ingesting that substance.

Upon hearing that, Charlotte suddenly recalled what happened at the winery in Arkfield...

That night, she had only drunk red wine and not Diana's water. However, even though she did not drink a lot, she still felt drowsy when she got back to her room at night. In fact, she was so tired that she had fallen asleep on the sofa even before Louis left.

The woman had not been able to make sense of the situation, but thinking back on it, Charlotte was almost certain that Diana had spiked the red wine...

It seemed like it wasn't the first time Diana did that.

Charlotte beckoned for Jade and Emma to keep the evidence, before tucking into her dinner.
