"No." Charlotte immediately shook her head. Suddenly, she realized that she answered too quickly, and she hastily added, "I have thought back on what happened that day after I heard about Stephanie's death, and I really can't think of anything unusual."
"I checked the tea room, and from the order in which the tea sets were arranged, it looked like your tea drinking ended quite abruptly halfway through. May I ask, why did you finish early?" At this moment, a sharp light reflected from Karl's eyes, staring straight at Charlotte.
Charlotte was stunned, not expecting Karl to ask such a question at all.
Indeed, Stephanie got up and left abruptly that day after she began to suspect her. It had never occurred to her that she needed to rearrange the tea set. She didn't expect Karl to be so perceptive as to notice such a trace.
She hesitated and froze for a moment before saying, "Grandma suddenly said she was sleepy. So I helped her into her room to sleep."
"So, you've been in Stephanie's room, too?" Karl asked lightheartedly as he took notes.
And by now, Charlotte's heartbeat had gradually spiked.
All of them were questions she didn't expect.
She realized that she had made a mistake in her answer. Perhaps she should not have answered that she had helped Stephanie to her room but should have said that she had left directly. But what was said could not be changed.
"Yes, I went in there," Charlotte replied stiffly.
"What was Stephanie doing while you were gone?" Karl asked again.
"She, she was ready to lie down and go to sleep." Charlotte felt as if she was in a trap already, unable to get out of his seductive inquiry.
"Sorry, it's not convenient to tell you that." Charlotte coldly rebuffed.
She had expected Karl to ask more questions, but to her surprise, Karl closed the computer and said respectfully, "Thank you for your cooperation. We have taken your statement, goodbye."
After saying that, Karl left the cubicle without looking back.
Leaving Charlotte behind with a puzzled look on her face.
On a hunch, he always felt there was something wrong. From the scene, Stephanie should be sitting on the bed and falling to the ground, instead of lying down and then falling to the ground. He could not think of a connection. Although Stephanie died when Charlotte had long left…
But he always felt that Charlotte was not simple. From the conversation just now, he also noticed a few flaws in Charlotte’s statement. Stephanie's meeting with her was definitely not that simple…

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Why has all the names changed from english name to Chinese, It’s difficult to understand who is who...
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
