CHAPTER 1612: CHAPTER 1612: YOU AGREED TO LEON BATTLESON?

Until Charlotte gently touched her arm, Annie Anne was brought back from her daze.

"Annie, what’s wrong? Is there something uncomfortable with your body? Why do you look so pale?"

Charlotte noticed Annie had been somewhat absent-minded all along, thinking about her current situation, she couldn’t help but ask worriedly.

"I..."

Annie opened her mouth, but her voice was too quiet for Charlotte to hear.

Clenching her fist at her side, Annie seemed as if she had made some kind of resolution.

When she looked up, she saw Charlotte had already opened the door to the lounge. Annie finally spoke:

"Charlotte, I’m sorry."

"What?"

Unexpectedly, Annie apologized to her, leaving Charlotte looking even more puzzled.

The action of taking off the ring on her finger came to a halt.

Annie slowly hugged her arms and said, "If it weren’t for me, the rumors online wouldn’t have spread."

Yesterday at the hotel, Annie witnessed the entire event, she had never seen Charlotte look so bad.

This made Annie feel that if it weren’t for her, Justin and Charlotte wouldn’t have had such a quarrel.

Nor would there be such discussions in the crew now.

"It was me who agreed with Leon to hold you off, I was the one who deleted all the calls and messages from Justin on your phone."

When Annie said these words, even her voice trembled continuously. She stared at her toes, not daring to look at Charlotte at all.

Outside in the hallway, there were still voices, but inside the room, it was deadly silent.

The fingertips digging into her palm left large red marks, but Annie seemed to feel no pain.

Finally, she mustered her courage and looked up at Charlotte, and sure enough, met the puzzled and confused eyes she had anticipated.

"Charlotte..."

"You deleted my call records?"

Both Annie and Charlotte spoke at the same time, yet their emotions were completely opposite.

"You agreed with Leon?"

Charlotte, however, caught this crucial name from Annie’s previous words, and for a moment, she couldn’t control the emotion in her voice.

"Why did you do this?"

Charlotte had thought of so many possibilities and reasons yesterday, but not once did she place any suspicion on Annie.

And now Annie’s words were like a gateway opening, letting all the thoughts that had been blocked in Charlotte’s mind rush out.

At that time, she happened to see Leon talking to Annie, and Annie explained that it was because of Oliver Hudson’s collaboration that the two met.

But now, looking back, Annie’s words clearly sounded like an excuse.

"So, the excuse of finding a cake shop and borrowing my phone for taking photos, it was all just an excuse?" An unspeakable emotion surged in Charlotte’s heart.

"Charlotte, I didn’t know what Leon was going to do. I only agreed to delay you, but if I had known what would happen at the hotel, I would never have agreed..."

"How could you not know?"

However, Charlotte’s words left Annie speechless.

"You should also know what kind of person Leon is. Don’t you... Don’t you think that all Leon wanted was just to meet with me?"
