Chapter 1355


    After ending the call, Charlotte started packing for her trip to Mount Phoenix on the following day.


    Just then, her phone rang. Seeing that it was from an unknown caller, she was about to reject it until


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    she noticed thest few digits of the number and decided to pick it up. “Hello?”


    “Charlotte?” An attractive voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Is that you?” the man asked


    tentatively.


    Charlotte was stunned for a moment before realizing who it was. “Michael?”


    “It''s really you! That''s great!” Michael was so excited that he started speaking incoherently. “I thought I


    would never be able to see you again.


    I really didn''t expect... Where are you now? Can we meet up? I just returned to H City.”


    “I...” She paused to think for a moment and decided not to tell him her address at Northridge. “Where


    are you staying at? I''ll go to you instead.”


    “I''m staying at Skyview Hotel.” After replying, he hastened to ask, “Charlotte, is it far from you? I can


    pick you up.” “No need,” she responded, ncing at her watch. “I''ll see you at the hotel''s restaurant in


    an hour.” “Sure, I''ll be waiting. See youter.”


    “Mhm.”


    Hanging up the phone, Charlotte ordered Lupine to get the car ready and set off for Skyview Hotel to


    meet Michael right away.


    On the way down the mountain, she saw how the sunset gave a beautiful orange tinge to the sky and


    illuminated the forest.


    Charlotte gazed at the glorious scenery outside with narrowed eyes as memories of the past came to


    her mind.


    After dating Hector at a young age, she was entangled with Zachary by ident, followed by Louis.


    Throughout all the events, Michael had always been her constant friend.


    Back when she decided to get engaged to Hector, Michael left for overseas and was unreachable for


    five years. Subsequently, she got together with Zachary, breaking his heart again.


    Later on, because of Hector and Helena''s incident, which caused the Brown family and the Sterling


    family to get into trouble, Michael returned to settle some matters. After that, she lost touch with him


    again.


    Even when Charlotte and Zachary got married, the man did not return. He also did not show up when


    she was in deep water.


    Yet, he returned all of a sudden.


    Even though Charlotte did not know the reason for Michael''s return, he would always be her most


    trusted friend.


    “Ms. Lindberg, I did some investigations just now. After her act of conspiring against Luna was


    exposed, Helena was jailed and has likely been released recently. My guess is that Mr. Brown is here


    to bring Helena back to M Nation,” Lupine reported while handing over her findings to Charlotte.


    Charlotte frowned after browsing through the information. “Helena was the one who instigated the men


    to rape Luna and even tried to kill people to keep a lid on that matter. How is it possible that she''s only


    jailed for twentyseven months formitting such a heinous act?”


    “The Brown family must have pulled some strings for her to be released early,” Lupine replied. “I


    checked the previous records. She was supposed to serve a thirteen-year sentence.”


    Charlotte remained silent, the crease between her brows deepening. She was considered a witness for


    the crime back then and was even threatened by Helena. If it were not for Zachary, she would have


    been killed.


    However, as she was unable to betray her conscience, Charlotte still ended up testifying against


    Helena.


    I suppose she must hate me to the core.


    “Do you think Helena is also staying at Skyview Hotel?” Lupine asked, frowning. “If she''s there, it would


    be awkward for you two to meet.”


    “Given Michael''s considerate nature, he will ensure that we don''t bump into each other,” Charlotte said


    confidently. “Besides, even if we do meet, Helena should be the one feeling awkward. She''s the vicious


    one who did terrible things, not me.”


    “That makes sense.” Lupine nodded before continuing, “Oh, while I was investigating Helena, I also


    looked into Mr. Sterling''s situation.


    “Hmm?” Charlotte turned to look at her.


    “Mr. Sterling received a two-year sentence and was released a few months ago,” Lupine said softly. “It''s


    not known if he has contacted anyone from the Brown family. I remember that when he got into trouble


    back then, his parents migrated to Caspardion with his son, Timothy.”
