Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 317

"Sister, you’re finally back! I’m so glad you’re safe. Dad, Mom, and I were worried sick!”

Charlotte cried as she rushed over and embraced Lucy. Taken aback by the sudden gesture, Lucy gently pushed Charlotte away with a frown.

Pretending to not notice, Charlotte held Lucy’s hands and inspected her up and down. After a moment, she heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “I’m so glad you’re okay.

"I heard that my brother-in-law brought you back. Did the kidnapper do anything to you? Thank goodness, he was there to save you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known where to go look for you.

“You have no idea how guilty and worried I was when I woke up. How I wished that they had taken me away instead so that you could come back safely!”

Charlotte spoke with a tearful smile. If Lucy had not seen her at the crime scene with her own eyes, she might have even believed that Charlotte was genuinely concerned about her.

Seeing how emotional Charlotte was, Arthur and Juliana were momentarily stunned. The questions they had were stuck in their throats.

Any doubts they had about Charlotte before had been washed away as they could not help but believe her now.

Their dear Charlotte was clearly so concerned for her sister. Her eyes even went red from blaming herself for her sister’s kidnapping.

How could such a lovely and adorable woman become so haggard overnight?

How were they supposed to believe that Charlotte had anything to do with Velda’s kidnapping?

“Princess Charlotte, there’s no need to act innocent anymore. Weren’t you the one who ordered the assassin to go after Lulu? Now that Lulu is back, you’re feeling guilty, so you've decided to put on a show?”

“It’s just that since Matthew said so, we need to clarify the truth to prove your innocence.”

“That’s right. Since both of you have conflicting stories, there might be some misunderstanding that needs to be cleared up.”

Both Arthur and Juliana tried to reassure Charlotte, completely overlooking how Lucy felt.

Lucy stared blankly at her parents. The truth had yet to be revealed, yet her parents still chose to wholeheartedly believe Charlotte.

Did that mean that they thought she and Matthew were lying? Lucy felt deeply unsettled.

Trembling, Charlotte shouted, “You’re lying! You’re all lying! You’re suspicious of me just because I’m not your biological daughter. I’m just some girl you picked up from God knows where, so now that my sister has been found, you think that I'd harm her!”
