Dolores looked down at the bracelet on her wrist and smiled. “Why? Do you have a special interest in women’s accessories?”

Charles choked up.

“Not really...”

“Why did you ask then?” Dolores asked harshly.

If she hadn’t seen Victoria’s portrait in his study by accident, she wouldn’t have been so alert.

This jade bracelet was from Victoria. Now he was asking her about it, Dolores subconsciously became on-guard.

She clenched her fists in silence, wondering what was his relationship with Victoria.

Nobody would put a stranger’s photo in his study, right?

He put it on the desk. Obviously, he often looked at it.

Charles rubbed his forehead and chuckled. “Aren’t you tired of thinking so much?”

He had clearly sensed Dolores’s suspicion of him.

“I don’t know her in person. I’ve only seen her photo,” said Charles frankly. He put the photo on the desk because he wanted to test if Dolores knew her. The photo wasn’t placed there before.

Staring at the bracelet on her wrist, he continued, “I kept you staying here because this jade bracelet is exactly the same as it on that woman. I guess... you might be her daughter.”

Dolores was speechless.

She didn’t speak.

Charles didn’t insist on asking her.

“Please go for a rest.”

Dolores frowned, still not believing what he said. “You don’t know her, but you thought I’m her daughter and you kept me staying here. Isn’t it for her sake? Why would you do such a big favor for an unknown woman’s sake? Do you think I’ll buy it?”

Dolores didn’t hide her curiosity about his identity. “What’s your relationship to her? Is she one of your family?”

Actually, she wanted to ask if they were a mother and her son.

She couldn’t figure out any other explanation. The only guess that she had was that Charles was Victoria’s son with another man before she married Jayden.

However, in Dolores’s opinion, Victoria shouldn’t be this kind of woman.

Hence, she was quite confused about this matter.
