Chapter 1552 Gossiping Is Human Nature
Genevieve could understand Jessica's anxious feelings. However, all they knew for sure was that
Charlotte was alive; they still hadn't found out where she was.
She couldn't reveal the truth to Jessica. She wouldn't be able to handle it.
Seeing Genevieve hesitating to speak, Jessica, who had developed a sharp mind from her work, said,
“Even if Lottie eloped with someone, I'd still hope you could tell me, so I don't have to imagine things.”
“It's not exactly eloping. I was figuring out how to tell you,” Genevieve recalled the gossip Camilla had
asked her about and organized her words in her mind.
After a moment, Genevieve whispered to Jessica, “Lottie is pregnant, but she doesn't want this matter
to be known by the media and blown out of proportion. It could affect her future work. Coincidentally,
she also wanted to travel abroad. Her boyfriend decided to leave his work and accompany her
overseas. The plan is to come back after they've had the baby.”
Jessica seemed shocked and struggled to find words for a while. “I know my little sister well. She's
neither willing to get married nor willing to compromise her beauty, so how could she ever agree to
have a child?”
When Jessica gave birth to her daughter, she gained more than ten pounds. Even with a cesarean
section, she went through quite a bit of pain.
When Charlotte had taken care of her at the hospital and saw her state, she kept talking about how she
would never get married. She'd rather spend half her life with money than go through the hardship of
having a child.
That's why Jessica didn't entirely believe Genevieve's words.
Knowing that convincing Jessica wouldn't be easy, Genevieve continued, “You also know that Lottie is
carefree, but she's been on and off with her current boyfriend for years without breaking up. It's evident
that she loves him very much, and he adores her, always accommodating her. If Lottie wanted to have
a child, it's not impossible.”
Jessica recalled the day she helped Charlotte organize her bag and saw a pair of Cartier wedding rings
inside.
If Charlotte didn't love the other person, why would she buy wedding rings?
Jessica remarked, “If the person she's with truly cares for her, even if they're a celebrity, I wouldn't
object. But must she disappear to another country without a word, refusing to answer her sister's
calls?”
Genevieve grinned and responded, “You know what they say about elder sisters being like second
mothers. Perhaps she's worried about receiving a scolding from you. Let her lead her own life.”
Once Genevieve managed to assure Jessica that Charlotte was safe, the latter's concerns seemed to
subside.
After Jessica left, Johanna, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, expressed her surprise.
“So, Charlotte is really pregnant and went abroad with Jerry to have the baby?”
“It would be a relief if that were the case,” Genevieve sighed.
“What's really happening?” Johanna's curiosity grew, sensing the seriousness in Genevieve's tone.
“And where did Charlotte go? Even Jessica was asking Timothy about Charlotte's whereabouts when
we crossed paths while I was moving.”
“See? It's hard to resist the temptation of gossip. And Mando says I'm too curious,” Genevieve cheekily
remarked.
Then, she proceeded to share with Johanna all the details Armand had relayed to her.
Johanna, just like Genevieve when she first heard the news, widened her eyes and took a moment to
process the information. “So, if Timothy knows about this, why hasn't he told me?”
“It's probably because it's not a pressing matter,” Genevieve explained. “Moreover, you've been
through a lot mentally, and he might want you to have some peace.”
Having experienced a traumatic event like being kidnapped, Johanna's mind had conjured up many
unsettling possibilities. “Do you think Jerry's uncle might have tricked him and sold Charlotte
somewhere?”
“It's quite unlikely,” Genevieve reassured. “Mando mentioned that Jerry takes extreme measures to
ensure Sebastian tells the truth, even using force on Sebastian's men when necessary. If Sebastian is
trying to save himself, he'd likely break under pressure and change his story. But he's still adamant that
Charlotte is deceased. There might be something he doesn't know, perhaps an event that occurred
after the ship left.”
Johanna leaned her chin on her hand, lost in thought, then turned to Genevieve and inquired, “If we
manage to locate Charlotte, what do you think will happen between her and Jerry?” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“We're all aware of how her father passed away, but who would dare to break that news to her?”
Genevieve sighed. “And Jerry knows Charlotte's temperament well, so he wouldn't dare reveal such
news to her.”
She looked at Johanna earnestly and advised, “Jojo, it's important to sort out your own feelings toward
Timothy instead of getting overly preoccupied with others' matters.”
