Chapter 714
The suitcase was stuffed to the brim. The moment it hit the floor, the pressure made all the snacks inside spill out everywhere.
Milk, chocolate, nuts… Every single snack was something Charlotte loved.
Jackson and Adonis just stared for a second.
Seriously, Charlotte, this is a competition, not a picnic. And honestly, how old is she now? Why does Anthony still treat her like a kid?
When Charlotte saw her snacks scattered all over the floor, her expression turned icy cold.
She didn’t even have to say anything. Jackson and Adonis could feel the tension in the air and immediately dropped to their knees, grabbing every snack and shoving them back into the suitcase.
Only then did Charlotte’s face soften a little.
Once the luggage was set aside, Adonis pulled off his mask and glanced around the place, finally letting out a heavy sigh. “At least Solenia is big. The odds of running into anyone from N Organization are pretty low.”
Otherwise, they’d all be in serious trouble.
“Charlotte, I checked,” Jackson said. “Only the finals are going to be broadcast worldwide.”
As soon as that happened, N Organization’s people would definitely notice Charlotte was here.
Those old guys had been trying every trick in the book to get her back to Solenia. If they found out she’d returned out of nowhere, they’d definitely stir up trouble.
Luckily, the finals weren’t until the fourth day, so for the first three days, Charlotte would be safe.
Charlotte grabbed a bottle of milk from the pile, stuck a straw in, and took a sip. Her voice was calm. “Did you find out who the A1 Organization met with twenty years ago in Solenia?”
“Still working on it,” Jackson said seriously. “A lot of the clues were wiped out on purpose. Whoever it is, they’re pretty important.”
Solenia was full of hidden dangers and powerful people. There was no telling who might be involved.
Charlotte just nodded quietly, eyes dropping to the bracelet on her wrist-her mom’s bracelet. Her gaze darkened.
The harder the answers were to find, the more complicated everything became.
What exactly happened to her mom’s research team in Solenia twenty years ago? And who had gone out of their way to erase every trace of the A1 Research Institute from this place?
“You two go rest,” Charlotte said. “We’ll keep looking into it tomorrow.” “Yes, ma’am.”
Adonis nodded, but as he turned to leave, he suddenly noticed some red marks on Charlotte’s neck ande blurted out, Charlotte,
mosquito bite your neck?”
Charlotte just stared at him, speechless.
Jackson glanced over, his mouth twitching, and without another word he outo room. Content belong

Charlotte dropped onto the sofa and fished out her sleeping pills from her bag.
She shook two pills into her hand and swallowed them.
Normally, she’d be drifting off in half an hour, but tonight the time passed and she was still wide awake.
She’d even upped her dosage. Why wasn’t it working?
Frowning, Charlotte rested her left hand on her right wrist, checking her pulse.
It was a little fast, but otherwise everything seemed normal.
If her body was fine, then the sleeping pills shouldn’t be failing her.
Unless… Anthony really was her cure, and she could only sleep peacefully when he was around.
She suddenly regretted not bringing him with her.
Ugh. She missed Anthony.

“Book me a flight to Solenia.”
“Right now?”
Hans was shocked. Hadn’t Charlotte told Anthony to stay home and behave?
Anthony was actually going to ignore her order? And on top of that, Solenia was N Organization’s turf.
If they found out who Anthony was, there was no doubt they’d be coming for him.
