Chapter 294

Zac’s expression shifted,

Vivian had already contacted him earlier, repeatedly warning him not to let Charlotte or Sean find out about their connection.

In any case,

Chester had already been arrested. Even if Charlotte found out Zac was involved with him, it was not the end of the world.

Zac shook his head. “No.”

Charlotte’s gaze hardened. Her voice was sharp. “Then how did you know? How did you know Joseph took me to Cloud City? How did you know about Sean’s plan? Did you call the police on purpose, hoping neither of us would make it out alive?”
