But in the end, Charlotte Thompson still found herself involuntarily staring into Justin Battleson's eyes.
To Charlotte, they should have contained a galaxy, but now it was shattered, and the once twinkling stars had gradually dimmed.
"Did you send someone to follow me?"
Charlotte felt she must be crazy, otherwise, she wouldn't have asked such a question.

It seemed tinged with sorrow and helplessness, but mostly, it looked like disappointment.
"Haven't you been investigating everything about the Battleson Family as well?"
Justin Battleson's voice came slowly, yet it struck like a heavy bell toll, resonating loudly in Charlotte's mind.
"Why?" Justin's thin lips muttered.
Three simple words, yet they seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds for Justin.
Charlotte didn't know how to respond.
