The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21

After hanging up, Charlotte carefully replayed the night’s events in her mind.

Why had Wendy snuck into her room while she was in the shower? It definitely wasn’t just to look around like she had claimed.

She was up to something.

Charlotte walked around the room, scanning every detall, but aside from the shattered ceramic figurine, everything else seemed untouched. Nothing appeared out of place.

Then, her gaze landed on the glass of milk sitting on her nightstand.

She had a habit. She always drank a cup of warm milk before bed.

Before heading to shower, she had asked Mrs. Zimmer to heat it up and bring it to her, planning to drink it afterward.

The ceramic figurine had also been on the nightstand before it was smashed.

If Wendy had broken it, then she had clearly lingered near the nightstand for a while.

There was a very real chance Wendy had tampered with that glass of milk.

Three hours later, Sean finally arrived in Harbor City.

By the time Charlotte got his call, he was already on his way to her place at Harmony Hill Villa.

She was outside, tossing bags of unwanted stuff into the trash.

“Sean, I’m not staying here tonight” She balanced her phone between her ear and shoulder as she made her way back to the house,

There was still more to throw out, and Mrs. Zimmer had already gone to bed. Rather than bother her, Charlotte decided to take care of it berself

Sean didn’t ask any questions, just responded with a simple, “Alright.”

“Did you book a hotel yet?” she asked.

He named a high–end hotel downtown.

“Perfect. I’ll book a room there too. Let’s just meet at the hotel. You don’t have to come all the way here.”

She had already packed up everything she needed and planned to leave the house for good tonight.

I was time to say goodbye to Zac once and for all.

Charlotte loaded her suitcase into the trunk, then pulled out her phone to book a room. That was when she found out that the hotel was fully

booked

She did a quick search and realized that a major exam was being held at a nearby school the next day. Nearly every hotel in the area was fully booked

After searching for a while, she found one last available room at a rundown motel Charlotte scrolled through the reviews and frowned at the photos and complaints.

One comment stood out:

“The walls are paper–thin. I could hear the couple next door going at it all night–felt like a live broadcast happening right in front of me. Let’s just say, I didn’t get a wink of sleep”

Charlotte understood exactly what that meant.

She had a trial at 3pm. the next day, and the drive there would take about three hours. Factoring in time to get ready, eat, and get on the road, she would have to be up by 10 am at the latest.

It was already past 11 pm. After meeting Sean, she wouldn’t have much time to rest. If she ended up in a place with noise disturbances all night, she would be a mess by morning-

After thinking it over, she sent Sean a message.

“That hotel’s fully booked, and I can’t find a room anywhere nearby. Can you help me book one, Sean?”
