Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 685 You’re Indeed A Spoiled Child

Aidan placed the bowl before her and slowly said, “Do elaborate.”

Leanna explained, “He went to the studio yesterday afternoon and told Charlotte he would bring her away from Highside. Also, he told her not to tell us about it under the pretense of not implicating us in this matter. Since he’s the uncle Charlotte trusted the most, and along with the fact that she didn’t want to implicate us, of course, she would believe in his words. Also, Joseph and Charlotte initially agreed to meet at 8.00PM, and Joseph would bring her to a safe place. As Charlotte’s uncle, his actions seemed reasonable, and even if I were at the studio back then, I might not find a reason to stop him from taking Charlotte away either.”

Then, she continued, “But the problem is, for some reason, Joseph specifically went there during the afternoon to inform Charlotte. He knew she was in danger but didn’t immediately bring her away. Instead, he had to wait until 8.00PM to fetch her, and let’s not mention Zoe getting involved in this matter and managing to persuade Charlotte to stay. In addition, when Joseph arrived, at approximately 8.00PM, that group of men arrived, which means that even if Zoe didn’t manage to persuade Charlotte to stay, and she left with Joseph, they would also encounter that group of men. What’s more coincidental was that according to what Keaton said, Joseph wouldn’t be able to take Charlotte away if those men hadn’t appeared out of the blue.”

“I guess that Joseph knew you had sent people to guard Charlotte, so he couldn’t continue with his plan under that situation. So, he went to the studio and coaxed Charlotte to leave with him. Once she agreed, he would arrange for the act that night, but for the act to happen, Charlotte must agree to leave with him. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to implement his plan. Zoe told me that when those men came after them, the scene was so chaotic that she focused all her attention on Charlotte and didn’t notice what Joseph was doing. In that situation, Charlotte was being brought away, and as her uncle, Joseph kept his presence low, which could only mean one thing—he never said a word since the start and didn’t try to stop it.”

Leanna said all that in one go and suddenly felt chills run down her spine.

She remembered Zoe mentioning that Charlotte yelled for Joseph to send Zoe to the hospital before she was brought away.

If that was true, it meant Charlotte might still not know that the person who planned all this was her most-trusted uncle.

Aidan smiled. “How did you analyze so much in such a short time?”

Leanna replied, “I had a bad feeling about this since listening to Keaton’s description of what happened last night. Along with what Zoe told me, I thought this whole thing seemed off.”

When she got to that point, she stopped and frowned. “But there’s still something I can’t figure out.”

“What’s that?”
