The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles)
Chapter 306

Chapter 306



Sean was always on the move, drawn to wherever the action was. He loved to be in the thick of things and never worried about getting too involved. Seeing how upset Charles was today, Sean figured he was really angry. He followed Ronald up to the second-floor hall.

The hall was packed with people who had been enjoying themselves at The Majestic Lounge just a while ago. Now, they were all huddled together and upset. They were trying to guess what had caused such a commotion. Even the regulars, who had never been stopped before, were caught up in the security checks. Things were really serious.

A few wealthy young men were not used to being treated this way and were loudly demanding an explanation. However, they knew better than to challenge the powerful owner of The Majestic Lounge, so they just grumbled.

Annie was too frightened to say much, sticking close to Winter and shaking. "Winter, what are we going to do now?"

Winter shot Annie a fierce look. She thought Annie always made things worse. "I've told you before: don't cause trouble."

"Enough. Stop talking about her," Suzy quickly cut in. "With so many people around, someone might hear us!"

Ronald was leading Rowena and Teresa over, but instead of asking around, he headed to the surveillance room to watch how people were reacting. Since it was about Noelle, Rowena and Teresa were extra careful, watching everyone in the hall closely. They paid special attention to Winter and Annie.

Rowena spotted something odd pretty fast. "Mr. Wells, look at them. They're acting really weird!"

She pointed at Winter and Annie. "Everyone else looks mad they got dragged into this, but those two are acting strange. They keep dodging eye contact."

Ronald looked at where Rowena was pointing and had to agree. Rowena had a journalist's sharp eye.

However, she was feeling stuck. "If only we could hear what they're saying. Then, we'd know if they did it!" she said, upset. "But we don't even need to hear it. We're sure it

was them, but we just

don't have the proof!" Ebookex.com

"Evidence?" Ronald chuckled and quickly dialed a number. "Activate Microphone Two!" In no time, Ronald and Rowena were listening to Winter and Annie's voices coming through the speaker.

Rowena's eyes widened in shock, and she pointed at Ronald. "Is that even allowed?"

Ronald's lips twisted into a half-smile. "What does Ms. Scott think The Majestic Lounge is all about?"

Rowena's mouth hung open. Her

face made it clear she had never seen such things before. She had never been to The Majestic Lounge and did not really know what it was all about. She had heard bits and pieces of stories about it, though.

People said that the person running The Majestic Lounge was a big deal, just like the Four Young Masters of Brookville, but no one knew who that big shot was. His influence,

however, was said to be significant. Rowena had always just heard stories, but today, she was seeing it in action. "So, are you saying Charles runs The Majestic Lounge?" Ebookex.com

Ronald raised an eyebrow. "Not at all!" He listened to the ongoing conversation, his brow creasing slightly. "Take Annie away."
