Chapter 1262

Charlotte was good at keeping her cool. After finishing her breakfast, she started reading in her room.

Meanwhile, Lupine and Morgan had returned to the guestroom to rest, leaving Jade and Emma to accompany

Charlotte.

Very soon, it was already nightfall, and Lupine and Morgan had woken up from their naps. As it was also time for

dinner, Diana had arrived at Charlotte's room with dinner, together with a bottle of red wine.

“Is Louis back yet?” Charlotte asked casually, with a book in her hands.

“He's not back yet, Ms. Lindberg,” Diana answered respectfully. “He has a lot of things to handle today and will be

back slightly later.”

“Really? What is he busy with?” Charlotte lifted her wine glass and started swirling the red wine.

“He had to attend a press conference in the afternoon and had to entertain guests in the evening. He also has to

send some VIPs to the airport...” Diana explained.

“I see,” Charlotte nodded. “That makes sense. I'm sure there's a lot for him to settle because of the delay in the

wedding.”

“This red wine is from Arkfield. Drinking more might help you sleep better at night,” Diana said thoughtfully.

“Oh, thanks!” Charlotte smiled and continued after a pause, “You may leave now.”

“Alright,” Diana gave a slight bow and retreated from the room.

“Oh, don't forget to ask Louis to look for me when he's back,” Charlotte reminded.

Diana stopped in her tracks at once, while a maid next to her replied instead, “We will, Ms. Lindberg.”

After they left, Charlotte shot a glance at Jade and Emma, who understood what she meant right away.

Immediately, the two bodyguards collected a sample of the food and wine for testing.

A short while later, both of them concluded that there was a substance found in the red wine that had similar

effects as sleeping pills. One would start feeling drowsy after ingesting that substance.

Upon hearing that, Charlotte suddenly recalled what happened at the winery in Arkfield...

That night, she had only drunk red wine and not Diana's water. However, even though she did not drink a lot, she

still felt drowsy when she got back to her room at night. In fact, she was so tired that she had fallen asleep on the

sofa even before Louis left.

The woman had not been able to make sense of the situation, but thinking back on it, Charlotte was almost certain

that Diana had spiked the red wine...

It seemed like it wasn't the first time Diana did that.

Charlotte beckoned for Jade and Emma to keep the evidence, before tucking into her dinner.

At around ten p.m., Louis finally returned home. When Diana saw him, she immediately welcomed him, saying,

“Louis, you're back.”

“Yup.” The man seemed a little tipsy. Taking a pause, he added, “Dad and Mom are still entertaining the guests, but

I thought I should head back first. Where's Charlotte?”

“You must be tired. Let me help you back to your room first.”

Just when Diana was about to take the man's arm and support him back to his room, a maid, who was standing

beside, suddenly remembered Charlotte's instructions and said, “Sir Louis, Ms. Lindberg said...”

“Keep quiet.” Diana immediately stopped that maid from talking and shot a vehement glare at her. “Louis is drunk

and needs to rest. Don't disturb him.”

The maid did not dare to speak after that.

“I need to check on Charlotte,” Louis said, as he staggered upstairs. However, Diana grabbed his arm and held him

back, trying to persuade the man to head back to his room instead. “Louis, you're drunk. Let me help you back to

your room to wash up first. It's not nice for you to see Ms. Lindberg in your current state.”

“Oh, you're right.” As Louis wanted to look presentable in front of Charlotte as well, he stopped insisting.

Just as both of them headed upstairs toward his room, Charlotte walked out and shouted, “Louis!”

“Charlotte!” Louis immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around, walking toward the woman.

“Louis...” Diana tried to hold the man back, but her efforts were futile.

“I was just about to look for you,” Louis said, as he staggered toward Charlotte's room. “I have already spoken to

Dad and Mom today and they have promised not to make things difficult for you. I'll stay in with you tomorrow...”

“OK, sure,” Charlotte replied while glancing at Diana.

Diana, who was staring at Louis with an inexplicable look in her eyes, met Charlotte's gaze for that split second and

immediately looked away...

“Charlotte, I missed you so much...”

Louis' gentle voice could be heard from inside the room.

“Drink some water first.” Charlotte passed a glass of water to the man.

“I knew it. I know you care about me...” Louis said, pulling her into his embrace.

At that moment, Jade and Emma exited the room. When they opened the door, Diana happened to witness that

scene...
