Unless she was actually related by blood to one of the founders. But the sad truth was, the other four founders were either gone or out of commission. If any of them had an heir, they would have shown up by now.
People in the room started whispering to each other.
“Charlotte, stop dreaming and just leave. Don’t hold up the meeting,” Marcia said, her lips curling into a smug smile as she watched Charlotte stay quiet.
The room buzzed with gossip, and the guards started moving closer, ready to drag Charlotte out. That’s when Charlotte finally spoke up, her voice calm and steady. “What if Mrs. W’s granddaughter is here?”
The chatter stopped. Every person in the room stiffened, their laughter dying out on their faces.
Mrs. W’s granddaughter?
If that was true, Charlotte’s claim to the institute would be completely legitimate.
But Mrs. W had vanished over forty years ago. Nobody from the institute had heard from her since, and everyone assumed she was dead. How could a granddaughter just pop up now?
“What did you say?” G2 asked, his eyes wide with shock.
Aloys and his daughter turned to look at Charlotte too. Marcia especially couldn’t tear her gaze away. Hearing the words “granddaughter” and seeing Charlotte’s face made something click in her mind, like a dam suddenly bursting.
Could it be? Was Charlotte really Mrs. W’s granddaughter? No wonder she looked so familiar. It wasn’t just Franco she resembled. She had Mrs. W’s look, too.
G2 seemed to realize it, too. He stood there, frozen, his old face filled with disbelief. “Are you saying you’re Mrs. W’s granddaughter?”
