Chapter 77
Elaine smiled. Obviously, she was not worried about this at all. After all, Timothy had always followed her plans. Besides, Timothy was much feeble in his current state. She wondered how much longer could he hold out for?
Of course, Elaine kept these thoughts from Yuliana.
"Have you been to the Fuller Residence recently? To see Raina?" Elaine changed the topic and asked.
Yuliana frowned at her question and answered, "Yes, but I don't know why that old woman never agrees to see me and always tries to get rid of me by all means."
She felt her stomach churn at the thought of being turned away by Raina every time.
Elaine thought Raina's actions were strange upon hearing Yuliana's words. Didn't she lock up Charlotte for some time?
Logically speaking, she should've met with Yuliana by now.
"Did something happen that we didn't know?" Elaine asked with sharp intuition.
Yuliana pursed her lips as she hesitated and wondered if she should tell her sister about Shane's marriage with Charlotte.
But she chose to keep quiet at the thought of her plans tonight.
This was her chance to turn the tables.
"I don't know," Yuliana answered after pondering the matter and decided to hide the truth.
Elaine didn't notice the sheepish expression on Yuliana's face as she hadn't expected to obtain any useful information from her.
After Elaine went over and played with her son, Yuliana took out her phone. She quietly hid in the bathroom and dialled a number.
Soon, the phone was answered by a rough sounding man. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Hello?"
"How's it going?"
"Don't worry, Miss Lane. Everything has been done according to your will." The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with excitement. "When this is over, don't forget what you promised me."
Yuliana felt goosebumps quivered down her body. She raised her brow impatiently but she feigned a sweet voice and replied, "Don't worry, Duncan."
He let out a hearty laugh and hung up the phone.
Yuliana took a few deep breaths, opened the door and walked towards Elaine.
Fortunately, Elaine did not notice anything strange about her.
At night.
After Charlotte finished the dinner Anne brought, she left the ward to send Anne and Sheryl home. Then, she took a walk in the garden to relax.
As she set foot onto a shady path, her cell phone rang.
It was an unknown number, but it looked quite familiar. So, she answered with confusion.
"Hello?"
"How have you been these days?" A low voice came from the other end of the line.
Charlotte felt a shiver down her spine that made her body numb.
"Mr. Fuller?" She didn't expect that Shane would call her.
"Hm?" Shane's voice suddenly turned ice-cold. It seemed he was implying she had said something wrong.
Only then did Charlotte realise she had addressed him wrongly but still she couldn't say the words out loud.
There was silence on the other side as he waited for her answer.
"Shane..." Lottie said in a stiff voice, her face suddenly turned red.
A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He could only imagine how Charlotte's blushing face looked at this moment.
"I'll arrange for Mr. Miller to send you to my home," Shane said in a good mood.
After hearing the change in tone, Charlotte was slightly stunned. She quickly asked, "Your home? Are you back?"
"My home is also your home."
