Chapter 157 Trying To Make Peace (One)

• There was a tense silence in the room for some more minutes as the man and lady stared at each other. Charlotte stared at her birth father without saying anything, not that there was anything that she could have said. It wasn't every day that she was at a loss for words. Mr. James stared back at her, waiting her out, until she finally became uncomfortable with the silence and the staring competition, and just had to say something ... anything.
• "How do you know who I am?" She asked him finally, her voice hard. If he thought that he could outsmart her, then he had better think again. She had come here on a mission, and she must fulfill it before she left.
• "What are you doing here?" He asked in turn, annoying her greatly.
