Charlotte fell her resolve wavering.
Still, she held her tongue and said nothing.
Sebastian hadn't left yet.

When Arthur brought Joanna to the hospital room, they found Sebastian sitting in a chair, instantly furrowing
Arthur's eyebrows.
“Mmph! Mmph!”
The bodyguards pushed Joanna into the room with her hands bound and mouth taped shut. Her eyes lit up when
she saw Sebastian, but her cries for help cout as nothing more than muffled sounds.
Sebastian jumped to his feet at the sight. “Arthur, how could you treat her like this? Let her go!”

The bodyguards blocked his path, keeping him from getting closer.
Arthur completely ignored Sebastian and fixed his eyes on Charlotte. “What's he doing here?” he asked in a low
voice.

“He heard | was hurt and cto check on me,” Charlotte replied.
“I see,” he responded, his tone carrying an unreadable edge.
His mocking gaze fell on Sebastian as he asked, “Where did you hear about her injury? | had the information
locked down tight. No one should have known except those involved in the incident.”
“Arthur, that’s enough!” Charlotte quickly interrupted as his implications grew more outrageous. “The hospital is
full of people coming and going, and Sebastian has many friends. Isn't it perfectly normal that he found out by
chance?”
Arthur's expression instantly changed, and his gaze at her becmore complicated.
He thought, “What had Sebastian told her before | arrived?
Why is she reacting so strongly?
Does she stop doubting Sebastian?”
Sebastian glared at him angrily. “Arthur, stop trying to drive a wedge between us. How | found out is none of
your business. Instead, | want to know why Lottie got hurt in the first place. How were you supposedly protecting
her?”
Arthur's face darkened immediately, and the atmosphere in the hospital room grew tense.

Chapter 440 How Were You Protecting Her? Charlotte felt a headache coming on, thinking. “Why are they
starting to fight?”
“Hmph!” Joanna, feeling ignored, made a noise to remind everyone of her presence.
Sebastian quickly stepped in. “Arthur, let her go. Can't we talk this out? Why are you treating her like this?”
“Why should I talk nicely to her? Who does she think she is?” Arthur sneered, completely dismissing Sebastian
and showing nothing but disgust for Joanna.
Sebastian stood there helplessly, his face dark with anger.
“Remove her gag first,” Charlotte ordered.
The bodyguard nodded and ripped the tape off Joanna’s mouth.

Joanna let out a muffled groan, then immediately cried out to Sebastian, “Sebastian, please help me! He's going
to kill me!”
“No one’s going to kill you,” Charlotte stated firmly. “Just tell us everything you know, and you'll be fine.”
Joanna looked at Sebastian in panic. “Sebastian...”
Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed pitifully.
Sebastian clenched his fists, his voice hoarse as he began. “Five years ago, you...”
Chapter 440 How Were You Protecting Her? “What's your connection to Sarah?” Arthur cut in coldly.
Joanna looked a mess with her pale face and disheveled hair. She flinched at the question as if scared out of her
wits.
“I don’t know her,” she stammered.
“You're lying.”

Charlotte's gaze turned cold. “How can you say you don’t know your cousin?”
“Oh, right... yes, | do have a cousin named Sarah. | thought you were asking about someone else. | didn’t catch
on at first!” Joanna quickly backtracked.
