| shouldn't have doubted you. I'm so sorry...”
She had completely lost her mind!
Just because Arthur mentioned one possibility, she started suspecting her beloved brother, who cared most for
her!
She thought, “How am | any different from an ungrateful wretch?”
She cried like a child, overwhelmed with guilt!
Sebastian walked over and hugged her, gently patting her back. His voice was warm and forgiving, without a
trace of blame.
“Don’t cry, Lottie. | understand why you did it. Anyone hurt for so many years would becjumpy and
suspicious. You were trying to protect yourself.”

Once she calmed down, he asked, “Lottie, did someone tell you these things?”
Charlotte sniffled but remained quiet.
“It was Arthur, right? He regrets the divorce, doesn’t he?” Sebastian said. “That man is so manipulative. He's
trying to shift
made all his guilt onto others to clear his conscience. Lottie, you the right choice divorcing him.”
With gentle concern in his eyes, he wiped her tears away with a tissue. “He's trying to drive a wedge between us

“I know.”
Charlotte nodded, her voice muffled.
A worried look crossed Sebastian's face. “But Joanna is just an ordinary person. She won't be able to handle it if
Arthur goes after her.”
Charlotte shook her head. “That won't happen. She’s Sarah’s cousin, and we suspect Sarah was the one who

Charlotte looked at his anxious expression and thought for a moment. “But if she was involved back then, Arthur
wasn't the only victim. | was, too.”

She looked at him with tear-stained eyes. “She indirectly hurt
me.”
Sebastian was at a loss for words. He slumped into a chair, hanging his head in defeat.
Charlotte didn’t soften her stance or say anything to comfort him.
She thought, “Arthur's part of the puzzle is solved.
But what about my side of things?
If it wasn’t Sebastian, then who could it be?”

Charlotte felt utterly lost, her mind confused with no clear path forward.
“Lottie, I'm sorry,” Sebastian finally spoke up, his voice hoarse.
“I didn’t think about how you felt. I'll reconsider my relationship with Joanna. | hope she wasn’t involved in what
happened back then. | really like her.”
He lifted his face to look at her, his eyes red with emotion.
