Charlotte Thompson paid no heed to Raina Richard’s earlier words and instructed the nearby bodyguard to watch her, before leaving directly with Justin Battleson.
Perhaps the bodyguard had subdued her in so way, as Raina’s shouting could no longer be heard from behind.
"The scars on her body were clearly inflicted by soone else, and she seed very afraid when I ntioned it. This must be the very thing she wants to hide."
Charlotte walked downstairs side by side with Justin, "But regarding her past, it’s been deliberately erased by soone. It’s normal that the Ross Family couldn’t find anything."
"This woman was clearly sent to target Adam Ross, and I think her ntal state might also be problematic."
Charlotte agreed with Justin’s words and nodded.
"Since she’s targeting Adam Ross, there’s a high possibility that soone from the Ross Family was behind this. Since we can’t obtain any useful connections from this woman, we might start with those few people who were at the family banquet."
"Are you talking about those two people who were at the banquet today?" Charlotte imdiately understood what Justin was referring to.
Justin nodded.
Charlotte had only investigated the mbers of the Ross Family briefly before and hadn’t delved into the details of the matter.
But now that Justin had brought it up, it gave her a new perspective to consider.
"I’ll inform Adam Ross about this, and he can investigate it."
"Good, have the children arrived at Stardust Garden yet?"
Justin and Charlotte left the apartnt building and got into the car together.
"My grandmother has already sent a ssage; the children have just arrived."
Naturally, this news relieved Charlotte.
The car moved smoothly, and the night mingled with the warm glow of the car’s interior light through the windows, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Charlotte turned her head to look at Justin sitting next to her, her lips slightly pursed.
Noticing Charlotte’s gaze, Justin set aside the docunts he was holding.
Their eyes t and intertwined in midair.
Justin’s gaze remained gentle, suffused with an intimacy that seed to seep into the bones.
Charlotte looked at him, and couldn’t help but slowly place her hand over Justin’s eyes, feeling his eyelashes brush against her skin.
Justin just sat there quietly, indulging everything Charlotte did.
Then, Charlotte slowly leaned towards Justin, wrapping her arms around his waist.
Charlotte rested her head against Justin’s chest, listening to the intoxicating heartbeat beneath the skin.
"Justin, let’s remarry after this is resolved."
Charlotte had been pondering why she hadn’t remarried Justin sooner.
Now, it seed clear to her, and she had made up her mind.
Her voice was soft, yet it wasn’t drowned out by the sound of passing cars outside.
She distinctly felt Justin’s body stiffen briefly after she spoke those words.
Seeing that Justin hadn’t responded for a long ti, Charlotte looked up at him in confusion.
But the next mont, warm lips pressed against hers, stealing away her words and breath.
Justin wrapped his arms around Charlotte’s waist and cradled the back of her head with his other hand, his fingertips brushing lightly as if touching a cherished treasure.
He had been waiting too long for these words.
Even though he had been hoping every day, when he heard those words from Charlotte just now, Justin didn’t know how to react at first.
Joy.
That was the only thing he could feel.
