While waiting for the maids to prepare the coffee and desserts, Louis suggested Charlotte to have a rest in the

study room first.

Therefore, she headed to it with Lupine and Morgan. A while later, the maids served them premium coffee and

desserts.

As silence ensued in the study room, Morgan could barely hold back and grumble, “What is Lady Sherlyn doing here

at this hour? Now that we are still tracking the suspects who might have sneaked into the manor, her lineup will

surely draw unwanted intentions in a way. Don’t you think that this might result in another round of chaos?”

Lupine echoed by lowering her voice. “Not to mention, Sir Louis is apparently without a sense of vigilance. I notice

his subordinates tend to let their guards down when they change their shifts in slow motion. What if any dangerous

person takes advantage to sneak in at any moment?”

Morgan knitted her brows and asked quizzically, “They have enforced stricter security, haven’t they?”

“Hmph! Their so-called enforcement focuses only on increasing the number of guards in the security room.

Nonetheless, everything is still the same.” Lupine shook her head resignedly.

Morgan could not resist but grumble, “I’m speechless! They are obviously not comparable to the bodyguards of the

Nacht family!”

Sensing the abrupt change in Charlotte’s countenance, Lupine nudged Morgan’s arm and gestured to her to button

up her lip.

Charlotte was impartial when she shared her points of view. “The royal family is in charge of the security system of

the Laurent family. What’s more, they have been leading a free and easy lifestyle all this while, so they are never

on bad terms with anyone. Naturally, they don’t have a heightened sense of vigilance. Undeniably, Lady Sherlyn’s

presence might be a threat to the security system, but don’t forget that this place belongs to the Laurent family. Of

course, she can come any time she likes. After all, the suspicious ones might be the foes from Erihal and are

targeting us. If so, we are the ones who land them in hot waters. How can we grumble about it then, huh?”

“Ms. Lindberg, you are right.” Morgan lowered her head and held her tongue.

“Don’t ever mention this again,” Charlotte warned her.

“Noted, Ms. Lindberg. I won’t say that again,” Morgan apologized at once.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door. After the maids opened the door, Louis stepped in with Sherlyn.

“Charlotte, sorry to keep you waiting. It took me some time to change into a more comfortable outfit.” Sherlyn

smiled at her apologetically.

Charlotte got up and replied, “Not at all, Lady Sherlyn. You must be exhausted after such a long journey. I think you

need to rest earlier tonight.”

“Oh, I’m delighted and refreshed after meeting you.” Sherlyn held Charlotte’s hands in high spirits. “I have brought

you a present, and I hope you will like it.”

After that, she whipped out a delicate gift box to Charlotte. “Open it and see it for yourself.”

“Thank you so much, Lady Sherlyn.” Charlotte took it over and opened it right away.

To her surprise, it was a set of priceless sapphire jewelry, which was seemingly a rare treasure!

On top of that, the unique print and logo of the gift box indicated it was a collection of the royal family.

“How can I accept such an invaluable gift!” Charlotte gasped.

“Ah! Since we are a family, there’s no need to be bothered with all the formalities. It was the dowry given by Louis’

grandma when I married his dad. I have been keeping it well throughout these years, hoping to pass it down to my

future daughter-in-law.” Sherlyn smiled at her with a wink.

“But…” Charlotte tried to refute.

“If you refuse to accept it, I will be upset. We are a family, aren’t we?” Sherlyn pouted her lips and uttered

coquettishly.

“Just take it, Charlotte.” Louis encouraged her.

Charlotte could only accept the gift from Sherlyn. When she was about to thank Sherlyn, she spotted Diana gazing

at the gift box with inexplicit emotions in her eyes. There were hints of unmistakable disappointment, sorrow, and

inferiority.

Charlotte retracted her gaze and thanked Sherlyn, “Lady Sherlyn, thank you. I have also prepared a gift especially

for you and Sir Robert.”

As she stretched out her hands, Lupine handed her a white satin box at once.

Next, she handed Sherlyn the box. “Lady Sherlyn, this is the one. I hope you like it.”

Sherlyn’s eyes lit up the moment she opened the box and shrieked with joy, “My goodness! It is the legendary

luminous pearl, isn’t it? I have been looking for one all this while, yet to no avail.”
