Charlotte’s POV
The atmosphere was tense as Cyn and I walked into the hall we were most familiar with. It definitely wasn’t like yesterday when it felt like I had to defend myself and Cyn from the metaphorical daggers that were being thrown at us.
I knew there was only one thing that could make the atmosphere as tense as it was currently. Lady Addison was about to announce the results of the DNA test.
I locked eyes with Chloe’s form. She was standing by herself at the front of the room. I guess at this point, her friends had decided that they didn’t want to be implicated in the mess she found herself in if things went wrong for her. I could tell that she was feeling terrified, enough for her to be clutching and unclutching her dress in her hand while she looked around nervously.
