”Alice, how dare you ask me what’s wrong? You’ve truly disappointed me!”
Charlotte wasted no time in accusing Alice, but Alice was not one to be trifled with either. She hung up the phone right away.
Hearing the dial tone on the other end, Charlotte paused for a moment before hastily redialing the number, but there was no answer. She called again, refusing to give up until Alice finally picked up the phone.
“Charlotte, I’m warning you. Our relationship is purely business. I’m not one of your subordinates.
“Put away that princess attitude of yours. I’ve done what you asked me to do.”
Alice did not spare Charlotte any face, and it was only then did Charlotte realize the true nature of her so-called friend.
She quickly dropped her princess facade and resorted to her cute act to appease Alice.
“I’m sorry, Alice. I was being too hasty this time. I’ll be more mindful of my attitude in the future.
“Alice, you need to change your tactics! That woman isn’t dead!” After admitting her mistake, Charlotte did not beat about the bush this time. She feared that Alice would hang up on her again. She went straight to the point and informed Alice that Lucy was still alive.
“What? That’s not possible. Her husband publicly announced her death to the world!” Alice bolted upright.
Their organization had a reputation for getting things done. Dealing with a powerless ordinary woman was no exception, even if her husband was Matthew Leon.
Alice refused to believe Charlotte’s words as she was confident in her subordinates’ abilities.
However, Charlotte’s next words made her furrow her brows.
“What do you mean it's not possible? Not only is that woman not dead, but she’s bold enough to come to Charleston. She even entered the palace and met my parents. How else do you think I found out?”
