Chapter 364
Lucy cried for a long time, her tears eventually giving way to anger. "I get it now! It's all because of Charlotte!
She's pregnant, and Mom's only protecting her! Fine, all of you—you've all abandoned me! None of you are
coming to save me!"
She ended the call in frustration, knowing full well that James had refused to help her since the last incident.
Begging him was pointless; she'd have to cup with a plan on her own.
Hours passed, and as evening fell, she was summoned by the police to the visitation room. To her surprise, the
person waiting for her was none other than Charlotte.
"Charlotte?" Lucy called out, startled at first, but her expression quickly darkened. "Why are you here? Did you
cjust to gloat?”
"Lucy, don't make it sound so harsh. | cto check on you because | care." Charlotte's smile was faint, almost
mocking.
If not for the officers present, Lucy would have lunged at her to tear apart that fake, self-righteous mask.
Scoffing, Lucy sneered, "Charlotte, it's just the two of us here-drop the act. You borrowed my car, but when
James questioned you, you denied everything. | trusted you, never thought I'd have to guard against you. That's
on me."
The softness in Charlotte's eyes vanished, replaced by a cold, calculating gaze. She leaned closer and whispered,
"Lucy, | only stated the truth. You're the one who wanted to harm Sarah in the first place."

Charlotte let out a small laugh, her tone casual yet cutting. "Mom's been busy all day. She's meeting with a
renowned early childhood educator and has an appointment tomorrow with an obstetrics expert from abroad.
She's completely swamped, but don't worry-she hasn't forgotten about you. She askedto tell you that James
and Grandfather are furious and have agreed not to get involved. Mom thinks you should stay put for now, avoid
causing any more trouble, and let the storm blow over. Once things settle, she'll talk to James for you."
"Mom really said that?" Lucy stood abruptly, disbelief etched across her face.
Charlotte's tone dropped, sharp as a blade. "Of course. And let's be clear: if you hadn't tried to pin your mess on
me, none of this would've happened. You betrayedfirst."
"If I wasn't worried about that wretched Sarah escaping, do you think I'd have lent you the car? You planned this,
didn't you? You setup! Charlotte, you've got such a cruel heart. Don't think that just because you're
pregnant, James and Mom will always side with you," Lucy spat, her voice filled with bitterness and resentment.
