Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Miss Thompson
Meeting Justin Battleson’s puzzled gaze, Charlotte Thompson kept her calm, but the disdain in her voice was unmistakably clear.
"If you don’t believe me, fine, I’ll reintroduce myself."
Charlotte Thompson gracefully switched the bag to her other hand, her jacket slipped slightly off her shoulder, exposing her fair and smooth shoulder.
A black earring on her earlobe, making her look even more cool and mysterious.
An unusual emotion slowly rose in Justin Battleson’s heart.
The woman in front of him was identical to Sophie Allen, but her aura was completely different.
Sophie Allen always wore light-colored clothes, her aura was pure and untainted, her eyes gentle yet determined, as if she were a fairy ignorant of the worldly affairs.
But this woman, you could see the ambition in her eyes clearly at first sight, so beautiful, but with an air of aggressiveness and danger.
What they shared in common, though, was their faces, they were identical.
Charlotte Thompson stepped forward and instantly closed the distance between her and the man.
A faint scent drifted into Justin Battleson’s nostrils. He tilted his head slightly, meeting the woman’s gaze, who was now just inches away.
The woman’s eyes flickered, cunningly fox-like, said: "I am Charlotte Thompson, the jewel in the crown of the Thompson family, Miss Thompson of the Thompson Empire. I have never met you before, and I don’t know who Sophie Allen is."
A member of the Thompson family?
The doubt in Justin Battleson’s eyes slowly faded away, followed by realization.
No wonder she could lavish money at the auction, no wonder she could easily bring someone into the president’s suite.
It’s because she’s Charlotte Thompson, a member of the Thompson Family.
Charlotte Thompson stepped back, widening the distance, with a slight start of cold sweat on her back.
That Justin Battleson recognized her so quickly, this was absolutely beyond her expectation.
She couldn’t admit that she was Sophie Allen now. If her identity was exposed, it would only add to the problems in the future.
Upon saying this, Justin Battleson spent a few seconds in deep thought. In a while, he raised his head to look directly at Charlotte Thompson, his voice certain.
"It’s just a name after all. Regardless of whether or not you’re Sophie Allen now, I’m sure that five years ago, on this land, you were her."
Unexpectedly, Charlotte Thompson clenched her fist slightly. She took a deep breath, showing an impeccable smile.
"Sir, I’m not sure why you came looking for me, but since you’re here, I assume you’re someone of status."
She paused for a moment. "You should also know, that this hotel is a property of BK."
BK, an abbreviation for Bo King.
The Thompson Empire.
Before Justin could speak, she smiled slyly, her eyes filled with aggression, "Right now, I could literally have you thrown out this instance, do you believe that?"
Justin Battleson frowned. He watched as Charlotte Thompson slowly took out her cell phone from her bag, made a call, and casually said something.
"Come up and escort the guest out."
Within a few minutes, footsteps echoed in the corridor outside. The manager saw the person that Charlotte wanted to kick out, wiped his cold sweat in silence and opened his mouth hesitantly.
"Mr. Battleson, it’s getting late. Perhaps it’s best if you went back and rested."
Charlotte Thompson yawned, took her room card, and turned to enter the room.
Justin Battleson’s gaze deepened, and he finally left.
...
The next day.
Inside the CEO’s office at Riley Group.
Justin Battleson was going through the documents in his hand with a furrowed brow.
They were Charlotte Thompson’s personal information.
Indeed, she was a member of the illustrious Thompson family and had lived in Ashton since childhood. This was her first time in Druarus.
But all of this, seemed too strange.
He placed the information on his desk, his doubts not entirely cleared.
