Evening.
While waiting for dinner to be ready, Charlotte Allison was tending to her mother's garden in the backyard with Ethan Bert when Lucas Quinn came over with her ringing phone.
He looked at the screen displaying the name "Allen Sheldon," his expression unfriendly.
Charlotte didn't notice his expression, took off her gloves, accepted the phone, and answered.
"Hello, Mr. Sheldon."
"Miss Allison, sorry for the disturbance, I contacted you because today Hazel Allison met with the grandparents..."
Mrs. Sheldon, having been deliberately approached by Hazel Allison, suspected that Hazel might be the blood of her long-lost daughter.
With this suspicion, Mrs. Sheldon, along with Mr. Sheldon, met Hazel Allison today. Allen Sheldon followed and saw firsthand how naturally she played her part well.
If he hadn't known the truth beforehand, he might indeed have been swayed by her various words.
