qMorgan hastily took out the pill and handed it to Charlotte.
After swallowing the pill, Charlotte closed her eyes and recomposed herself.
“I didn't think that Mr. Brown would betray you,” Morgan commented. “What a pity we trusted him so much and thought of him as a friend.”
“Michael must be a pawn for someone else,” Charlotte said in a raspy voice.
Speaking seemed to have taken out too much of her air, and she could not help but think, This is quite potent. The black tea I drank earlier did not taste odd. I really didn't think I'd have fallen for it. Luckily, I was smart enough to bring the medication Hayley prepared today. This medication is something Dr. Felch came up with, so it'll easily counteract most drugs.
“A pawn? He said that everyone in the hotel is his people!” Morgan spat out. “Ms. Lindberg, we'll expose him for his lies right this instance!”
“No,” Charlotte stopped her. “This probably has something to do with the one behind the scenes. Since the other person has already made their move, they won't stop that quickly. We might as well go along with their plan and lure them out.”
“Oh. What do we do now, then?” Morgan asked.
Charlotte remained silent as she kept her eyes closed.
“I'm glad that you kept Hayley's pill with you. I don't dare to imagine what would happen if you didn't.” Morgan's heart was still pounding from the scare.
Right then, the elevator came to a stop on the first floor. Just as the doors slid open, a fierce-looking man stormed into the elevator with a murderous look in his eyes.
