After all, living under someone’s roof was not a long-term solution. Charlotte had experienced the bitterness of that for years.

I can only rely on myself.

Meanwhile, Ashlyn was peeling an apple for her grandma in her ward.

She had been quite busy recently. When she was not busy with Fashion Week, she would be searching for Charlotte. Besides the two tasks, she was also busy with the development of the antidote.

Ashlyn decided not to tell her about the Backtrack poison. “It’s nothing. It’s just that I’ll probably be busy for a while.”

Her grandma sighed, “I tend to forget I can’t always have my grandchild around me.” She ate a slice of the apple when suddenly, she hesitated as her expression changed. “I need your help with something.”
