Chapter 218 Secretly

After buying groceries, James Brown personally cooked a lavish dinner. He drank quite a bit with Jonathan Lopez before taking his leave. He had a good reason, after all, since the place was small with only two bedrooms, it wouldn't be right to make the old couple stay elsewhere or drive Emily Lopez out, so he decided to make do for the night at the office.

Fortunately, Charlotte Grandy didn't call during dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Lopez tonight, otherwise, there would have been even more trouble. Yet, when he got home, he didn't see Charlotte. From the signs around the house, it seemed Charlotte hadn't been back since she left in the morning.

This got James worried. Now that Charlotte was staying at his place, if something happened to her, he would bear an inescapable responsibility. Although James Brown was unafraid of the responsibility, he couldn't get over his own concerns. He quickly called Charlotte, but her phone was switched off, and this increased his worry.
