Charlotte Thompson remained silent.
Even though Jack and Chad were indeed Adam Ross’s children, she had no real connection to them.
"I really didn’t expect this, Miss Thompson. You have such a secretive side, talking about revolutionary friendship. It’s laughable."
Seeing that Charlotte had not responded, Zoe Anne felt even more confident about her speculation. Chapters first released on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Her hand, drooping by her side, involuntarily clenched in tension.
She had asked the Anne family to investigate those two children. By their ages, she deduced that Charlotte’s affair with Adam had occurred at least five years ago.
What a despicable woman!
What methods had Charlotte used? Not only had she enticed Adam, but now even Justin Battleson was taken in too.
Everyone knew what kind of disposition Mr. Battleson had.
He could be with Charlotte now because he certainly didn’t know the truth about Charlotte’s children.
"What would people online think if they knew the future wife of Mr. Battleson was such a flirtatious woman who had affairs with numerous men?"
Zoe Anne was triumphantly gloating, even her lower jaw slightly raised.
She had already imagined how shocked and afraid Charlotte would be, and then would desperately beg her not to expose the matter.
However, after waiting for a while, Charlotte showed no reaction, just looked at her with an indifferent expression.
"Has Miss Anne finished?" Charlotte lifted her eyes, her long lashes trembling gently with the movement.
"Charlotte, aren’t you afraid?" Seeing Charlotte’s casual demeanor, Zoe Anne was somewhat taken aback.
"What should I be afraid of?" Charlotte asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Aren’t you afraid that I will expose this?"
Compared to Charlotte’s calmness, Zoe Anne was the one who was actually flustered now.
But her investigation absolutely couldn’t be wrong; those two children were indeed Adam’s, only their birth mother was unknown.
And the fact that the Ross family agreed to let Charlotte raise the children implied that Charlotte must be their real mother.
"Expose this? What exactly does Miss Anne plan to do? Arrange a news conference?"
Charlotte tilted her head and let out a soft laugh, her long hair slipping off her shoulder with the movement.
"Miss Anne, since you already know that the child belongs to the Ross family, you should be clear about what these kids’ identities stand for."
With that, Charlotte took a few steps closer to Zoe Anne, the click of her high heels echoing slightly.
Zoe Anne continuously backed away until her waist and hand both hit the dressing table.
"Don’t just speculate about whether anyone would know about this. You should guess what would happen to those who do know about it, Miss Anne?"
Charlotte was a few inches taller than Zoe Anne. Standing so close now and speaking gave the impression that she was looking down on her.
"Charlotte, how dare you threaten me! Do you know who I am..."
Zoe Anne felt her body trembling and her voice gradually trailing off.
For some unknown reason, Charlotte in front of her was giving her a suffocating pressure.
"Miss Anne, instead of worrying about who might not be happy if my affairs were exposed, you should worry about yourself."
Charlotte didn’t care if others tried to smear her reputation, but the children were her bottom line, and no one was allowed to touch them.
What angered Charlotte was that, despite the Ross family repeatedly saying they cared about the children, it seemed that anyone could easily find out their identities now.
At this thought, a murderous look appeared in Charlotte’s eyes.
It seemed that it was time to go meet Adam Ross again.
