Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 19

"Brother-in-law, there are more than a hundred servants in the Emerson family. Why are you being so difficult?" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Elaine asked in a loud voice so that everyone could hear, "Why would I, Madam Emerson, deliberately slander this lady here?"

Elaine then secretly tossed a meaningful glance to her butler, who then quietly left.

It just so happened that Charlotte caught this exchange. It was then made clear that it was Elaine who had framed her.

Now that was willing to side with her, she did not intend to let Elaine slip away.

"I never said you had ill intentions. It was the servant who bumped into me; she was the one who set me up. So please, if I could trouble you to summon all your servants, Madam Emerson."

Elaine's face turned dark.

'When did this b*tch become so eloquent?' she thought.

'If she were to persist, she would raise everyone's suspicion again.'

At that time, Elaine had fallen into her own trap. After weighing the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth and reluctantly ordered all the servants in the residence to present themselves.

Shane couldn't help but take another look at Charlotte again.

'To think there are so many sides to this woman. Still, as the mother to the quickwitted little Sheryl, it's no big surprise,' thought Shane.

Shane suddenly became very interested in what would happen next. He wanted to know how this woman in front of him would prove her innocence.

At that moment, Elaine narrowed her eyes at her sister, Yuliana, signaling her to bring Shane away.

Otherwise, having him here would only worsen the situation.

"Shane, my head hurts. Let's leave." Yuliana held a hand to her head and weakly leaned toward Shane.

But before she could even lay her hands on Shane, she was shut down by an icy- cold glare. She stepped back bitterly, not daring to let a single word slip from her lips.

Charlotte witnessed this scene with astonishment.

There were some doubts in her heart.

'Shane's attitude toward the sisters of Emerson Corporation is peculiar.'

However, she didn't dwell much on the reason. Elaine wanted to sabotage her today, and she would not let Elaine get away with it.

After a while, the butler walked over to report back to Elaine.

"Madam, everyone has gathered. They are all in the back hall."

"Let's go."

Everyone followed Elaine to the back hall.

Charlotte stood in front of the crowd and quickly scanned the faces. At a glance, she spotted the servant who had bumped into her.

"That's her." She pointed directly at the servant in the crowd.

Elaine looked at the confidence on Charlotte's face and caught eyes with the butler standing aside. He nodded discreetly at Elaine and she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smirk.

'Oh Charlotte, you are still too fresh to play with me!'

"Come here," she instructed the servant in a cold tone.

She brazenly hinted, "This young lady stole my necklace, but she said that it was you who put it in her purse when you spilled the wine on her. What do you have to say for yourself?"

The maid lowered her head and replied, "Madam, I, I don't know. I didn't do anything."

In the blink of an eye, the maid looked over at Charlotte. However, her eyes were filled with anger and hatred. It was as though there was more to it than the eyes could perceive...
