Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: Suspicion
Charlotte suddenly remembered that while she and Justin Battleson were looking for the missing Evelyn Curtis, they discovered that her last known location was in Cethuira.
This made Charlotte suspect, what if Leon Battleson had some connection with Evelyn Curtis?
Charlotte didn’t dare to think any further.
Indeed, she had been living such a calm and stable life for too long.
The sudden reappearance of people and events from the past caught her off guard.
Or rather, did Leon know that she was investigating the old matters of the Battleson Family?
Just as Charlotte was hesitating to take out her phone to contact Justin, her phone rang on its own. It was a call from Zara Ward.
"Charlotte, do you have some time now? Our collaborative design drafts are complete. Want to come over to my studio and take a look?"
Hearing Zara Ward’s voice made Charlotte’s anxious heart relax a little: "Okay, I’ll head over right now."
"We’re both here waiting for you," said Zara Ward.
After hanging up the phone, Charlotte sighed and tucked her phone back into her pocket before driving to Melissa Tanner’s studio.
When Charlotte arrived at Melissa Tanner’s studio, the staff were wrapping up the final tasks.
Seeing Charlotte, they all greeted her with great enthusiasm.
Since Charlotte had started collaborating with Zara Ward, she would often come to the Melissa Tanner studio. Sometimes, she would discuss design concepts; other times, she would network with potential collaborators for Zara Ward.
Over time, Charlotte also got to know all the staff of Melissa Tanner’s studio and was even jokingly referred to as an unofficial member of the studio.
"You’ve come at the right time, the clothes have just been finished."
Seeing Charlotte knock and enter, Zara Ward stood up from her chair with joy and greeted her warmly.
"Really? Let me see!" Charlotte said, her voice laced with curiosity.
As for the unpleasant events back at the cemetery, they were gradually forgotten as Charlotte immersed herself in work.
"At the beginning, didn’t we all look at this dress design? I even said it would be very ugly once made, but I ended up proving myself wrong."
While speaking, Zara Ward pulled the curtain aside and rolled out a rack with clothes hung on it.
Charlotte’s eyes immediately landed on the first black dress hanging there.
Zara Ward also took down the dress Charlotte was looking at: "Yes, this one. The effect is quite stunning."
Even without touching the fabric, Charlotte couldn’t help but praise the dress from a distance.
"This collaboration is going to be very successful." Charlotte clapped her hands at Zara Ward and Elijah Walker, finally giving them a look of great admiration.
"I knew I was right to have you two work together."
"I thought you were complimenting me and old Elijah, but in a roundabout way, you ended up praising yourself," Zara Ward said with a laugh, glancing at Charlotte.
"A great talent is recognized by a discerning eye," Charlotte quipped, raising an eyebrow at Zara Ward.
Then she turned to Elijah Walker and gave him a thumbs up.
"Well done."
Elijah Walker, always a bit shy, pushed his glasses up and chuckled, lowering his head.
"But there’s something I’m quite curious about," Zara Ward said while arranging the hem of the dress.
