Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Revealing the True Identity
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone from the Design Department that came to greet her stiffened simultaneously.
The woman who had been pulling Charlotte Thompson along laughed, glancing at her with a meaningful look that said, "Oh my, designer Charlotte, pretending in front of all us familiar faces."
Once she finished speaking, Charlotte was confused. The look in her eyes expressed doubt. She looked strangely at the woman who was speaking: "What am I pretending?"
Why was she speaking in such nonsensical terms?
Charlotte glanced around the Design Department, almost everyone had gathered. Those standing towards the back were enthusiastically scrolling through their phones and seemed to be discussing something. They whispered a few words to the person next to them, then casually glanced at her. They all had the same expression in their eyes.
Curiosity and suspicion.
Charlotte felt even more confused. She furrowed her brows and looked at the woman who was speaking, asking directly, "What’s going on?"
Taken aback by Charlotte’s sudden question, the woman was dumbfounded for a moment before responding with a bewildered expression. "Really? Designer Charlotte, don’t pretend you don’t know. The internet is abuzz about you. Several well-known bloggers have all posted the same tweet saying you’re the Thompson Family heiress in Ashton."
Initially they didn’t believe it, but the most suspicious point was the netizen’s speculation.
The theory from Joy to later Miss Thompson seemed quite convincing.
So, they half-believed and half-doubted it and had been waiting at design department early in the morning to tactfully ask Charlotte about it.
It wouldn’t hurt, considering their usual relationship with Charlotte wasn’t all that great.
But if Charlotte really is the Thompson Family heiress, then they should apologise, flatter and be attentive to her. Because if Miss Thompson is happy, they’ll reap more benefits.
If they could establish a connection with the Thompson Family through Charlotte, they would essentially be making a significant leap.
What does the Thompson Family represent?
It is an entity in Ashton that commands power and wealth, almost comparable to the royal family. Rumor has it that the prince and princess of Ashton have a great relationship with the Thompson Family, and Miss Thompson and the princess are like sisters.
With the royal family’s protection, the Thompson Family’s future was destined for continuous growth.
Upon hearing the woman’s comment, Charlotte was startled, and a visible sense of shock flashed in her eyes.
How did the news leak?
She looked down, her identity had been exposed and yet she was the last one to find out.
After thinking for a few seconds, Charlotte raised her eyebrows. She had a hint of suspicion.
Could it have been Jordan Thompson’s doing?
Not that Charlotte intended to hide her identity, it’s just Mr. Thompson always lived a low-key life, so he required the younger generation to be as low-key as possible when out.
The Thompson’s wealth and power were clearly evident to all. If she were to expose her identity, it could possibly attract the attention of people with bad intentions. If others harbored ulterior motives, she could be in big trouble.
So for her protection and to avoid many problems, Mr. Thompson did not announce to the world that he had found his lost daughter.
But the Thompson family had many branches, and there were still many people outside who weren’t sure and thought having a daughter wasn’t an unusual thing.
After swiftly organizing all the information in her mind, Charlotte disguised her thoughtfulness and doubts, and gave a slight smile, "Please move aside, it’s work time now."
