A glimmer of fear flashed past the servant’s eyes.
However, a split second later, she regained her composure and lifted her head to stare coldly at Jim. "I don't know what you're talking about, Sir.
"Like the maid standing next to you, I, too, was under Mr. Simms' orders to execute this. We hadn't meant to hurt her at all, and I hope that you, Sir, and.and this beautiful lady with you can show us some mercy."
The woman's voice was hoarse and croaky, like a broken, creaking door.
Jim could not help frowning at the sound of this.
According to his guesses, Quentin must
have disguised Charlotte as one of the servants, and based on how silent this servant had been since they entered the room, he was fairly confident that this was Charlotte.
Nonetheless...
He remembered Charlotte’s voice, and even though she did not possess a melodic voice, it was still clear and resonant, not at all like the sound that came out of this woman’s throat!
Bonnie shared the same thought, too.
Initially, after hearing Jim's accusations, she also agreed that the quiet servant must have been Charlotte in disguise, but as soon as she heard this voice, she began to doubt it.
How could Charlotte have ended up like this within a day?
Something must have gone wrong!
Bonnie glanced at Jim, frowning. Her eyes were etched with confusion.
Jim, too, narrowed his eyes.
Countless clues pointed toward his postulation; the woman standing before them was none other than Charlotte!
However, the sound of her voice and the look in her eyes...
Then, he narrowed his eyes
