Lupine soon found the footage of the surveillance camera and played it on the laptop. What they saw
was a shocking, intense moment.
When Morgan leaned over, she freaked out. “Holy cr*p! W-Who is this?”
“I think this is Sir Louis’ room. The man’s Sir Louis, and the woman’s…” Lupine leaned in before her jaw
dropped. “That’s Diana!”
Morgan’s eyes went wide. “It can’t be true, can it? W-What’s going on?”
“Oh d*mn! This is… This is borderline porn!”
Lupine quickly lowered the volume and turned around to cover her eyes.
On the other hand, Charlotte stared at the screen in silence. After a while, she said, “Make a copy of this
video and save it.”
“What’s going on, Ms. Lindberg?” Morgan queried.
“Could it be that, last night…” Lupine speculated. “No, it can’t be. You were in the room too. Did they still
do it while you were…”
“Replay the video,” Charlotte told her instead. “Play it normally when Diana is pouring a glass of water.
See if she made any extra moves.”
“Understood.” Lupine worked on it right away, and soon, she noticed something amiss. “Diana added
something into the water.”
“What is it?” Morgan leaned over.
Lupine resumed the video. In the video, Diana was bringing the glass to Charlotte.
“Oh my god. She’s the one who poisoned Ms. Lindberg!” Morgan nearly leaped to her feet in anger. “I’m
taking her down right away.”
“Don’t be rash,” Charlotte calmly said. “I doubt it’s poison. It’s probably just some drug to keep me in
deep sleep.”
“What is she trying to do?” Morgan wondered out loud.
“Could it be that she knocked you out before doing it with Sir Louis?” Lupine guessed. “That’s
disgusting.”
“That means that nothing happened between Louis and me back at Arkfield manor,” Charlotte pointed
out. “Still, I don’t understand what’s with the marks on me.”
“Is it possible that Diana hit you?” Lupine hurriedly said.
“That b*tch,” Morgan gritted out.
“That is possible,” Charlotte muttered. “I remembered that when I woke up, some of the marks hurt.”
Then, she abruptly pinched Morgan’s arm a few times.
“Ow!” Morgan cried out before rubbing the sore spots.
Charlotte then pulled her arm over. As expected, there were red marks on it. Finally, she realized what
was going on. “Oh Diana, Diana. It seems like I’ve underestimated her.”
“Why would she do this?” Lupine contemplated out loud. “She slept with Sir Louis, and she framed you
for it. It’s not like she’s getting anything out of this.”
“But, it’s a different matter if she bears Louis’ child in her.” Charlotte sneered. “This is probably the only
way she can leap past the rungs of the ladder. In fact, this leap of hers will bring her straight to the top of
the ladder.”
Lupine gasped. “No wonder Diana keeps giving me an odd feeling. I thought I was being unfair to her
because I didn’t see her do anything, but it turns out that she’s been doing all sorts of evil deeds in the
shadows.”
Knock, knock, came the sounds from the door. Then, Avril’s solemn voice traveled into their ears. “Ms.
Lindberg, Sir Robert, and Lady Sherlyn have invited you to the study room.”
“Tell her I’ll be there in half an hour.”
As Charlotte spoke, she shot a look at Lupine, who quickly saved the video and kept away the laptop.
It was then Morgan opened the door to convey Charlotte’s message to Avril.
“Okay,” Avril replied before leaving.
While Charlotte went to the bathroom to wash up, Lupine and Morgan made preparations. The two of
them were waiting eagerly for Charlotte to confront the Laurents.
As Charlotte showered, she mulled over the entire incident. After a while of rumination, she called
Danrique, but he did not pick up.
She had a bad feeling about the whole situation, and her eyes darkened.
