Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000: Having Six Children
Florienna Ellis straightened up when she heard this, finally feeling curious, and even sat up straighter.
Aria Wilson looked around, then leaned in closer to Florienna and whispered mysteriously,
"I have a relative who’s a paparazzo, do you know what he dug up recently?"
"Stop beating around the bush, just tell me what’s going on already," Florienna urged, growing impatient.
Seeing her reaction, Aria quickly said, "I heard that Charlotte Thompson might have six kids."
"Six!"
Florienna couldn’t help but exclaim when she heard the number, but the next second Aria quickly covered her mouth, signaling her not to make too much noise and attract the attention of others.
Florienna pushed Aria’s hand away disgustedly and patted her clothes.
"Is that even true?" Florienna raised an eyebrow.
"My relative is a paparazzo, and if he got a hold of this information, I think it’s pretty accurate," Aria said, clucking her tongue.
All the people knew about Charlotte being Mr. Battleson’s ex-wife, and they all started investigating their past, but they found nothing.
"Who can have six kids all at once? They must have been together for at least a decade to have so many kids," Aria said with an exaggerated expression.
Naturally, Florienna also didn’t believe that Justin Battleson and Charlotte could have been together for ten years.
"So what you’re saying is..."
"Some of those kids might not even be Justin’s at all. Charlotte could have deceived Justin, making him raise another man’s children," Aria said with a sneaky laugh.
Florienna’s eyes darted around.
"I never expected Charlotte to be that kind of person. Didn’t Charlotte have some rumors circulating with that young master from the Hudson family before? Maybe Charlotte’s kids are his."
The more Aria talked, the more excited she got, "I always felt Charlotte was no good. If it weren’t for her status as Miss Thompson, would she be where she is today?"
"What are you talking about!"
But Florienna suddenly interrupted her, her gaze returning from the doorway,
"Spreading such baseless rumors could lead to all sorts of gossip if overheard. Don’t talk about this stuff anymore."
Aria was stunned for a moment, as Florienna always used to speak ill of Charlotte in front of her. Why was it that now when Aria said those things, Florienna got angry?
Florienna glanced at Aria and spoke disinterestedly, "Don’t you still have a lot of work to do? If Elijah Walker sees you chatting here instead of working, he’ll definitely penalize you. I remember you got your pay docked last month."
Aria’s face showed embarrassment, but the look she gave Florienna was loaded with deeper meaning.
She knew very well why her salary was docked last month, and yet Florienna was being sarcastically critical now.
If Florienna didn’t have someone powerful backing her, how could she possibly be so obsequious and flattering around her every day?
Someday she would step over Florienna.
However, unlike the unresolved feelings in Aria’s heart, Florienna’s heart was already beating fast.
After Aria left, Florienna hastily tidied up her desk, looked around, and then picked up a small bag and headed to the restroom.
Stashed inside the bag, though, was a strappy mini dress.
Florienna quickly changed into the dress in a restroom stall, but she also wore her current outer coat on the outside.
After changing, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror.
Florienna took out makeup from her bag and started to touch up her face in front of the mirror.
Pleased with her reflection, Florienna finally spritzed some perfume behind her ears.
If Justin Battleson and Charlotte had had a quarrel, wasn’t her chance coming up?
