Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Fake Identity?
With such a distinguished family background plus her own excellence, there’s no way she would need to work for someone else.
Even if Charlotte herself was willing, her family wouldn’t agree.
"Miss Allen, it seems that you want me to admit to your fake identity only after I bring back the talent from the Thompson Family in Ashton?"
Charlotte didn’t expect Justin Battleson to be so relentless in his pursuits.
It seemed that he wouldn’t stop until he forced out a result.
"What do you want?" She looked up at the tall man in front of her, her face revealing her impatience and annoyance.
"Miss Allen, your impatience might require polishing before you attempt any serious acting."
"You!" Charlotte was furious, but she calmly stated her reply.
"That’s right, I’m Sophie Allen. Are you here to expose my identity just to make fun of me?"
Sophie glared at him, leaving the man in silence.
Upon hearing her words, Justin Battleson unconsciously released his grip, slowly retreating.
Looking at her, he detected an unusual meaning in her eyes.
"Sophie Allen?" Justin repeated in a low voice, adding a trace of deep meaning that was hard to discern.
"Yes, I indeed am Sophie Allen."
Charlotte looked at the man in front of her and remained calm.
"You’re very smart, but you’ve guessed one thing wrong - Charlotte and Sophie Allen are the same person."
"Since you admit it, what’s the real purpose of you getting close to me?"
Justin Battleson lowered his head and stared at her. The woman in front of him was petite, yet her face held a deep intention.
"Purpose?" Charlotte sneered, her eyes now firm, not shying away as they did before.
"You’re so smart, can’t you guess my motives for approaching you?"
Charlotte’s words left Justin speechless, he silently watched the woman in front of him, as if waiting for the next part of her story.
"I don’t have the interest to guess your motive for approaching me."
"If that’s the case, then why is Mr. Battleson wasting his time here?"
Charlotte spoke calmly. Since she admitted her identity, she could guess what would happen next.
But now she didn’t feel much complication in her heart.
Instead, she felt a sense of relief in admitting that Sophie Allen was her.
No need for pretense anymore.
"You entered the company under a fake identity, as your superior, I can sue you at any time for fraud. Think clearly about what you would face."
Justin Battleson threatened, though his sixth sense had been very accurate and he could guess that the woman in front of him had ulterior motives.
False identity? Could it be that Justin Battleson had not figured out that Charlotte was in fact her other identity and that she had been... pretending?
"What I would face?"
Charlotte scoffed. For a moment she didn’t know whether to laugh at herself or Justin’s desperation.
"Mr. Battleson, have you ever thought about it? How could I borrow Charlotte’s identity and keep playing it till now without anyone in the Thompson Family exposing me?"
Charlotte looked at the warm yellow light in the distance. Her eyes softened, and she smiled.
Since Justin thought that way, she played along.
"Mr. Battleson, as a businessman, you value benefits the most. The fact that the Thompson Family could give their beloved daughter’s identity to me - can’t you figure out what is behind this?"
Justin Battleson didn’t respond, he just stood to one side, silently waiting for what Charlotte would say next.
In his opinion, the woman in front of him was mysterious and unpredictable, becoming increasingly impenetrable.
