Chapter 343

Had her actions already been exposed? Did James know?

Charlotte's heart raced wildly, panic creeping in. What would she do if he had found out?

James stared down at her with sharp, cold eyes. His voice was detached as he said, "If you claim you don't understand, then I'll take your word for it. Just focus on being Mrs. Chancer."
