Chapter 459: A footprint?

John's eyes narrowed slightly. "Think carefully about what you were doing outside. If you can't recall, I can assist."

The utterance rendered the room eerily silent.

Charlotte clenched her fists.

For this woman, he'd publicly threaten her?!

A touch of coldness flickered in Charlotte's eyes.

But what did she have to fear?

In the end, if anyone got exposed, it would only be Winry. She wasn't the one resorting to such disgraceful tactics! Why should she endure this humiliation?

Charlotte lifted her head. "I was with Ms. White..."

"That...,"

Winry suddenly spoke timidly. "Earlier... when I was outside, Ms. Patel was there too. I accidentally pricked her arm with the rose I was holding and exchanged a few words, apologizing."

Winry murmured, "So, maybe Ms. Matthews saw it and misunderstood."

At her words, Diana burst into laughter.
