Chapter 41 Discovering the Secret

“Diana, I heard you were here, so I came to find you. Oh? Charlotte, you’re here too. You two… know each other?”

Barrett casually walked in with a grin, greeting them as if it were the most normal thing.

Diana furrowed her brows, her expression cooling even more.

“Get out.”

But Barrett plopped down right beside her, completely unfazed. “What’s this? I just got here, and you want me to leave? You have to at least let me have a drink, right?”

He turned to Charlotte, his eyes widening when he saw her tear–streaked face.

“Charlotte, why are you crying? Who hurt you? Tell me, and I’ll make sure they pay!”

Charlotte was momentarily confused before exchanging a glance with Diana. “He found out about us.”

Barrett blinked, utterly lost. “What?”

Diana narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharp as it landed on his clueless face. “Don’t worry. He’s not that clever.”

Charlotte relaxed and picked up her drink, taking a long sip.

Barrett was still confused. “Wait,
