You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 207

"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.
