Chapter 568 She’s from a Collateral Branch of the Faulkner Family Charlotte gazed at the name, feeling a sense of familiarity wash over her. However, as she looked at the photo accompanying the name, she was certain that she didn’t recognize the person. “Faulkner…” The surname rolled off her tongue, and suddenly, Charlotte remembered the file that Sonsini had given her earlier. She immediately retrieved it. Sure enough, the name “Sandra Faulkner” was right there in the document. It was just that Sandra was the second daughter of a branch family, and she had never stood out among the vast members of the Faulkner Family, nor had she drawn much attention. That was precisely why Charlotte didn’t immediately recall the name. “What are you thinking about?” Joe’s voice suddenly echoed, interrupting Charlotte’s thoughts. Charlotte subconsciously glanced at the time, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation. “If I recall correctly, it’s only been an hour and a half since we parted ways.” In order to let Ben and Anna gradually adapt, Joe didn’t rush to move into the villa. Instead, he continued the habit of having meals at the villa every morning and evening, allowing the children to become gradually familiar with his presence. Joe walked up to Charlotte, trapping her in the swivel chair, and lowered his gaze to look at her. “Are you finding me annoying already?” Before Charlotte could respond, Joe leaned down and kissed her lips. It was an incredibly gentle and lingering kiss, with Joe gradually claiming Charlotte’s sweetness, making it impossible to resist. Enter title… Until Charlotte was breathless, Joe reluctantly released her and lightly placed a kiss on her forehead. “I came this time specifically to deliver documents to you. It’s work-related.” Joe cleared his throat and placed the files on her desk, his gaze coincidentally falling on the folder Charlotte had spread

This is what Milne found about the mastermind behind this incident.” Joe’s hand holding the documents paused, puzzled. “Milne? Your new assistant?” Joe remembered Charlotte praising Milne’s work abilities in front of him, but this particular piece of information… “Sandra is from the Faulkner Family,” Charlotte stated directly. “The Faulkner Family?” Joe furrowed his brow, his attention quickly shifting from Milne to Sandra. Charlotte nodded and, after a moment’s hesitation, dialed Sonsini’s phone number. “Charlotte?” Sonsini sounded somewhat surprised that Charlotte was calling at this time. Charlotte cut to the chase, asking, “Do you know Sandra Faulkner?” “Sandra Faulkner?” Sonsini thought for a moment. “I don’t have a very distinct impression. She’s from a collateral branch of the Faulkner Family…” Charlotte informed Sonsini of the recent events and said, “If my sources are correct, the person behind the scenes is Sandra.” Sonsini fell silent for a while. “When I extracted Congreve’s DNA previously, there was no way to hide the traces. Perhaps your presence has already been discovered by some members of the Faulkner Family.” This was exactly in line with Charlotte’s speculation. “I feel the same way,” Charlotte said in a deep tone. At this point, a hint of guilt was in Sonsini’s voice. “I’m sorry, I haven’t been able to locate Huxley yet. He seems to have recently gone on a business trip to another place, and there’s been no contact.” Charlotte was not surprised. But if even Sandra knew about the news, could Huxley, who was temporarily acting as the head of the Faulkner Family,

really be unaware? “In that case, I’ll just go directly to the Faulkner Family’s commemorative event,” Charlotte said, her lips curving coolly.
