Chapter 1245: Chapter 1245: Two Similar People
On the other side.
After leaving the cemetery, Leon Battleson drove to a five-star restaurant.
As he was carefully cutting into the steak in front of him, footsteps sounded, and the chair opposite him was pulled out, a woman sat down.
"I thought you would wait for me."
The woman quietly spoke, reaching out to tidy the stray hairs beside her cheek.
However, both in voice and appearance, this woman resembled Charlotte Thompson to about seventy to eighty percent!
To someone not very familiar with Charlotte, they might even mistake her for Charlotte.
Seeing that Leon Battleson was not acknowledging her at all, the woman coughed somewhat awkwardly, uncertain of where to place her hands.
"I saw her today."
Leon Battleson put down his knife and fork and carelessly picked up a wine glass nearby.
Hearing Leon’s words, the woman’s expression became even more stiff, she lowered her eyes slowly and spoke, "Then I will contact that person, and expose the video."
However, at that moment, Adam Ross picked up the unused knife from the woman’s side and directly lifted the woman’s chin with it.
The sharp blade was pressed against the woman’s skin, and with just a slight movement from Leon, he could directly cut the woman’s throat.
The woman’s body also stiffened instinctively.
"Do you know what doesn’t resemble her about you now?"
Leon Battleson slightly narrowed his eyes, his casual gaze sweeping over the woman.
But it brought a trace of... fear in the depths of the woman’s eyes.
"Her neck is very beautiful."
While speaking, Leon’s hand slowly moved the knife downward, sticking it to the woman’s neck, finally stopping at her collarbone.
"The lines are very elegant, when she lifts her head it looks like... a dying swan."
Having said this, Leon Battleson finally placed the dining knife down, and the woman, as if having let out a sigh of relief, quietly slumped her shoulders.
"A person can change everything from their appearance to their bones, but once certain bones are touched, their life is over."
The woman sat opposite Leon Battleson, head bowed, and heard every word he said.
"What do you think will happen next with this matter?" Leon Battleson propped up his cheek, asking the woman opposite him.
The woman pondered for a moment, but ended up obediently shaking her head.
Leon Battleson seemed to suddenly lose interest, his gaze at the woman now filled with a bit more boredom.
The two of them continued to silently eat their Western meal, each lost in their own thoughts.
...
Charlotte Thompson began to feel the surrounding tension, like the calm before a storm.
By the time she went to the Ross Family to pick up the two children, it had surprisingly started to rain heavily, thwarting Charlotte’s plan to take the kids out for a grand meal.
Moreover, even now Charlotte found it troublesome to take Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson home.
Because of the heavy traffic at this time, Charlotte looked at the outside road conditions and finally shook her head helplessly.
The two little ones clung to the car window, curiously observing the outside scenery.
Charlotte waited for the traffic light while casually looking at the stack of documents on the copilot concerning the remaining matters of the collaboration with XTZ.
Just then, a message alert sounded on Charlotte’s phone.
