Charlotte understood what Silas was implying. Silas wanted Leila to go to the Capital City, but he could not say so directly. She was a little surprised because she did not know Leila's significance to Silas.
It looked like she had underestimated Leila's value. Her thoughts became a little messed up as she considered her next strategy for dealing with the volatile situation. If Leila was important, she could not get rid of her.
In an ideal world, she could use Leila to get some benefits, but it was not possible to do so with Silas getting directly involved. To be safe, it would be better if she obediently cooperated with Silas with regard to that girl.
Despite his high evaluation of her and continuous compliments, she understood men like Silas. No matter how much they liked a woman, they would always put their interests first. They would not hesitate to eliminate any threats and obstacles.
