CHAPTER 1607: CHAPTER 1607: PITIFUL APPEARANCE

"My phone was on silent, but it should have still shown missed call notifications..."

Charlotte murmured aloud, seemingly unable to understand why this sudden issue arose.

Furthermore, due to work-related reasons, Charlotte habitually wouldn’t set her phone to silent mode, so what happened this time?

"Who were you with this afternoon?" Justin Battleson furrowed his brow slightly.

"Annie. We went out for lunch after leaving the set and spent the whole afternoon together," Charlotte replied directly without thinking much.

"Did anyone touch your phone?"

Charlotte nodded naturally, considering whether any strangers had touched her phone, and naturally did not include Annie Anne in the consideration.

Still, she felt there was something unreasonable about it, but Charlotte thought maybe it was just a problem with her phone.

Fortunately, she and Justin had already cleared up the misunderstanding between them, so nothing seemed more important than that.

"So... was it Riley trying to set you up?"

Recalling what Justin said earlier, Charlotte pondered for a moment.

Then she remembered when she went to the hotel, she found only Justin in the room and didn’t see Riley at all.

If Riley really intended to drive a wedge between her and Justin, why did she do nothing after Justin passed out?

However, Charlotte had already made up her mind.

No matter if this Riley is who she suspects to be Evelyn Curtis, she definitely will not let her off lightly for what she’s done.

"I’ll get to the bottom of this matter."

Upon mentioning the hotel incident, Justin’s face also darkened. He then turned to look at Charlotte beside him, taking her fingertips into his palm.

"Charlotte, I swear, no matter what, I will never betray you."

Facing Justin’s sincere gaze, Charlotte blinked her eyes, but the next second, she turned her body, bypassing Justin to the other side of the bed.

"Since everything’s been explained, please leave, Mr. Battleson."

Charlotte already knew the truth about the matter, but it didn’t stop her from staying mad over the online rumors.

Charlotte could even recall those comments she saw online.

Justin never expected Charlotte to say something like that, and he stood there stunned.

"Charlotte..." Justin couldn’t help but lower his voice a bit.

He had finally gotten a chance to see Charlotte today, so how could he leave so easily?

But Charlotte chose to ignore Justin’s expression, propping her cheek with her hand, a hint of a smile forming on her lips.

"What do you think would happen if I were to scream right now?"

Seeing the mischievousness in Charlotte’s smile, Justin’s face showed a bit of helplessness, and finally, he let out a heavy sigh, as if deeply affected.

"Charlotte, it’s already so late, and it’s so cold outside. Look, I came to see you wearing only a single shirt. Can you really bear to let me stand in the cold wind?"

It was the first time Charlotte saw Justin looking so pitiful.

Whether it was Charlotte’s imagination or not, looking at Justin now, she felt he resembled an abandoned big dog, with his ears and tail drooping down.
