"No, I didn't steal anything."
Although she was still clueless as to why this man was standing before her, Charlotte would never succumb and admit something she did not do.
"Great." With that, Shane nodded and didn't speak a word further. No one could tell what was going through his mind.
At this moment, everyone in the banquet hall was taken aback. At once, they were prompted to view Charlotte through different lenses.
Who was she?
How was she related to Shane? Who was she for him to initiate a conversation with her?
Behind him, Yuliana instantly recognized Charlotte's mottled dress.
She was floored, but Elaine abruptly pulled her aside.
"What's going on? How did Shane and Charlotte get to know each other?" Elaine asked fiercely in a low voice.
"I have no idea! Charlotte? Ah! She's Ch-" Yuliana almost cried out in surprise. Fortunately, Elaine was quick enough to cover her mouth before she could shriek.
Elaine rolled her eyes at her silly sister out of frustration.
