Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 20

"Are you sure you didn't do anything?"

Charlotte's gaze was filled with suspicion as she stared the servant down.

The servant's face immediately turned sour.

"Miss, all I did was accidentally spill some wine on you. Are you trying to bully us who have no status by framing me in this way?"

Charlotte's gaze lingered on her unwaveringly as she said calmly, "I simply asked a straightforward question without putting the blame on you. Why are you getting defensive?" Speaking, she tore her eyes away from the servant and began scanning each corner of the room they were in.

"A wealthy family such as the Emersons should have a surveillance system in place, am I right? In that case, shall we take a look at the recordings to uncover when exactly I stole the necklace?"

Charlotte's gaze ultimately fell on Elaine. The coldness in her eyes sent a chill down Elaine's spine.

However, thinking of her prior arrangements, Elaine regained confidence.

"Get the recordings," Elaine instructed the housekeeper.

The housekeeper immediately stepped forward with an unsettled expression. He stammered, "Madam, the recordings..."

"Did the surveillance system fail unexpectedly yesterday, or was it because I tampered with the cameras, that you're unable to pull out these recordings?" Before the housekeeper could finish, Charlotte snatched his lines from him.

The housekeeper was stupefied. His lips parted, but he was at a loss for words.

All of a sudden, the people around them let their imagination run wild.

Charlotte's quick- witted words shocked Elaine, but she did not let her guard down.
