Chapter 826: Chapter 826

Perhaps it was because she had received news of Evelyn Curtis, Charlotte Thompson was rather anxious and hadn’t slept well at night.

She seemed to have dreamt again of the moment Evelyn Curtis ferociously lunged at her, wanting to kill her.

But now, behind her, stood her children.

Charlotte startled awake from the nightmare, only to find that Justin Battleson was not sleeping beside her, which made her even more uneasy.

She turned on the bedside lamp, and the dim yellow light cast upon her somewhat pale face. She was just about to get out of bed when the door was opened, and Justin Battleson walked in quietly, only to discover that Charlotte was awake.

"Charlotte, did I wake you?" Justin Battleson quickly approached, but he noticed that Charlotte’s complexion was off.

He reached out and pulled Charlotte into his arms, touching her cold fingertips, his face full of concern.

"Charlotte, what’s wrong? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Charlotte leaned against Justin’s chest, where his strong heartbeat seemed to give her some courage. She shook her head, sighed, and said softly,

"No, I just had a nightmare."

"Evelyn Curtis?" Justin guessed immediately what Charlotte might have dreamt about.

Seeing Charlotte nod, Justin gently stroked her cheek.

"Charlotte, I suspect Evelyn’s disappearance has something to do with Leon Battleson."

"Leon Battleson?" Upon hearing the name, Charlotte felt somewhat unfamiliar, but she soon realized who he was.

"This..." Charlotte found herself at a loss for words.

"Leon is returning to the country," Justin spoke slowly, "He has been in Cethuira for many years. If Evelyn really appeared in Cethuira, it’s very likely they could have come into contact."

"How could that be?" Charlotte blinked.

Leon and Evelyn Curtis were completely unrelated individuals.

"Even though he has been in Cethuira all these years, he couldn’t possibly be unaware of the Battleson family matters," Justin said, his face growing dark.

After his mother’s death, he was taken away by his grandmother, Jasmine Clarkson, and had lived in Stardust Garden ever since, unaware of the Battleson family matters.

Yet Justin could never forget the time when he left the Battleson family, how warm that family of three was,

his own father, the man who had driven his mother to her death, wouldn’t even spare him a glance back then.

His eyes had always been on Leon.

But what Justin hadn’t expected was that in the end, the position of head of the Battleson Family didn’t go to Leon but was handed to him. And since then, Justin had heard nothing about Leon.

It wasn’t until later when Justin sent people to investigate that he found out Leon had been sent to Cethuira.

However, Justin knew very well what kind of person Leon was.

He didn’t believe Leon would spend his entire life in Cethuira, especially considering that Justin thought the reason Oliver Battleson sent Leon to Cethuira was probably to protect him.

After all, the incident with Ella White had caused quite an uproar, and both his grandparents had always disliked her and Leon.

Now that Leon dared to come back from Cethuira, he must be fully prepared, and his ultimate goal was surely to claim the head of the Battleson Family.

And now, Evelyn Curtis might just be a pawn in Leon’s hands.

"Are you implying..." Charlotte paused, hesitant. Get full chapters from novel[f]ire.net

If Evelyn truly was rescued by Leon, it was possible that Leon would learn quite a bit about Justin through Evelyn.

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen."
