Chapter 1604
Layla Lowell reached out and twisted the doorknob, only to suddenly realize it wouldn't turn—the door wouldn't open.
"What's going on?!"
She turned around to confront Charles Carrington.
Charles Carrington pulled her to sit down, "Let's talk, just for fifteen minutes."
Layla Lowell tried the doorknob again, and seeing that the door still wouldn't open, she turned her back to him and said petulantly, "I didn't expect you to be such a despicable person!"
Charles Carrington asked softly, "Do you believe it wasn't me who locked the door?"
"I don't believe you!" she retorted sharply.
His words showed him the likely outcome of their talk today.
Probably a futile effort.
It was all because of the terrible impression he had previously left in her mind; it appeared he had to put in a bit of effort now.

The nanny watched the doorknob for a while, and once she saw that the person inside had stopped trying to turn it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
