"This matter, it seems, has nothing to do with you, Mr. Battleson."
Charlotte Thompson spoke silently.
"I just helped you out, and now you’re using this attitude towards . It’s really heart-breaking."
Leon Battleson sighed, his expression notably sad.
"Mr. Battleson, I’ve already thanked you."
She unconsciously tightened the hand that was originally behind her back.
Charlotte tried to keep her tone calm while speaking.
Glancing at Charlotte, Leon Battleson pressed his fingertips to his chin and spoke to himself:
"Looks like you ca with Justin Battleson?"
Using Justin Battleson as a shield to avoid Leon was a good tactic, so after hearing Leon’s inquiry, Charlotte nodded.
"Justin is still waiting for , so could you please move aside, Mr. Battleson?"
But Charlotte didn’t expect Leon to burst into laughter.
"You’re lying. How could Justin bring you here? Because he knows this shop is one of my own properties."
Upon hearing this, a trace of anger rose in Charlotte’s expression.
So Leon ntioned Justin on purpose just now?
"I’m really curious now, who did you co with?"
However, as soon as Leon spoke, soone called Charlotte’s na from not far down the corridor.
The familiar voice instantly made Charlotte’s anxious heart settle down. She turned her head and saw Jonathan Thompson hurrying toward her.
"I’m here."
Charlotte directly bypassed Leon’s body and walked towards Jonathan.
"Why did you take so long? You worried to death."
Jonathan had been waiting in the private room for Charlotte, but since she hadn’t returned for such a long ti, he naturally ca out anxiously to find her.
Pressing Charlotte’s shoulders, he glanced around, and then Jonathan’s unfriendly gaze fell on Leon Battleson.
Upon seeing Leon, Jonathan first froze for a mont, then his expression turned even sourer.
"Leon Battleson?"
Charlotte didn’t expect Jonathan to directly call Leon by na.
But thinking about it, her brothers must have investigated the Battleson Family, so they must know about this second son of the Battleson Family.
However, compared to Leon, Jonathan is a stranger.
Just as Justin cast his gaze over, Jonathan imdiately stood in front of Charlotte, shielding her completely.
"Didn’t you just say you wanted to eat Western food? Let’s go now."
Glancing at Leon, Jonathan casually found an excuse and imdiately took Charlotte away.
"mbers of Thompson family?" Leon murmured, squinting his eyes.
Elsewhere, Jonathan led Charlotte out of the Japanese restaurant and asked quizzically:
"How did you end up eting him?"
"This shop belongs to Leon Battleson." Charlotte briefly inford Jonathan of what happened earlier.
"There’s definitely sothing fishy going on."
Jonathan scoffed coldly and spoke with determination, "I will thoroughly investigate this matter. It’s also my fault for not checking in advance and bringing you directly to such a place."
"It’s okay." Charlotte shook her head, then looked down at the ti on her watch.
"The children are about to finish school; I’ll go to the kindergarten to pick them up."
However, Charlotte was surprised when Jonathan smirked and said: "No need, the children have already been picked up by Fifth Brother and brought back to the Thompson Family."
