Isabella shrugged, “I’m so jealous. You get to see living people
every day, unlike me… never mind, probably not the best topic
for dinner, hehe.”
From a distance, Madeleine suddenly grabbed Rebecca’s arm,
her nails digging into her flesh. “Oh my god, isn’t that Bradley’s
sister, Charlotte!”
Rebecca calmly patted her hand away. “I see her.”
Madeleine sneakily took out her phone to take a picture and
send it to Roderick.
Madeleine’s fingers flew across the screen: [Look!
Bradley’s blind date brought Charlotte with her!
It’s an Underworld! An Underworld!]
Roderick replied quickly: [?]
Followed by another message: [Stay away. Bradley turns into a
mad dog when he sees his sister.]

He was afraid his little Madeleine would get caught in the
crossfire.
Madeleine pouted and continued to watch them nosily.
“Why are those two pretending they don’t know each other?”
“Probably to avoid making Isabella feel awkward.”
Rebecca analyzed rationally, “Charlotte is afraid Isabella will
find out that Bradley likes her. If it gets out, how could they
finish this meal?”
“True.”
Madeleine sighed, resting her chin on her hand with a pained
expression.
Rebecca found it strange and reached out to poke her furrowed
brow.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Tell me, is the pseudo–incestuous ship better, or the doctor-
forensic examiner ship?”
Rebecca narrowed her eyes, studying Madeleine for a moment.

“I never would’ve guessed. You’re quite the shipper.”
Madeleine nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
“Yeah, yeah! You and that antiques guy are a great ship too!”
“Stop.”
Rebecca shot her a glare.
“Adrian and I only have a working relationship. Don’t just ship
us.”
Madeleine just smiled without a word. So stubborn. She was
just waiting for their fluffy moments.
When they were almost done eating, Isabella got up to go to the
restroom, and the air at the table instantly froze.
“When did you get back?”
Bradley asked in a low voice.
Charlotte cut her steak gracefully. “Last week.”
“Why didn’t you contact me?”
Chapter 174
“Was there a need to?”
She looked up at him, her gaze as calm as if she were looking
at a stranger. “Bradley, we have no relationship anymore.”
“That’s right. No relationship.”
Bradley’s eyes held a hint of excitement. “So you’re not my
sister anymore. Charlotte, we…”
“Legally, we have no relationship, but I’ve always seen you as
my little brother.”
“Charlotte!”
Bradley was getting angry. “Do you dare to look me in the eye
and say that again?”
Charlotte kept her head down, cutting her steak, and didn’t
move.
Isabella’s footsteps approached, and the two of them
immediately reverted to polite, distant expressions.
“What are you two talking about?”
Isabella looked at them curiously. Something seemed off about
their expressions.

Charlotte smiled and wiped the corner of her mouth. “I was
asking Dr. Kline what sports he usually likes.”
“Oh yeah? Dr. Kline looks like he’s in great shape. What sports do you like?”
Isabella asked with great interest.
Bradley looked at Charlotte’s perfect fake smile and suddenly
felt a tightness in his chest. “Fencing.”
That used to be Charlotte’s favorite sport.
Charlotte’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she quickly returned
to normal.
Isabella said, delighted, “Charlotte, don’t you like fencing too?
We could go together. How about we find a fencing club and
have some fun this afternoon?”
“I’m afraid not.”
Charlotte picked up her phone with an apologetic look. “I just
got a message, there’s an urgent meeting.”
Instinctively, Bradley didn’t want her to leave.
“I’ll drive you.”
