Chapter 675
Ellen left.
Olivia watched her retreating figure, her jaw clenched tight. Even though she didn’t like Ellen, something about this farewell felt wrong. She dreaded the look on Reinhart’s face when he woke up to find Ellen gone.
Olivia couldn’t fathom why Charlotte had insisted they let Ellen leave. If anyone would want Ellen to stay, she thought it would be Charlotte. Yet Charlotte’s demeanor had been so cold it bordered on heartlessness.
Charlotte was responsible for managing Edina’s internal affairs. When the era of the Demon King began, it would be Charlotte who truly ruled the world. Eventually, Charlotte would become Empress. With such a grand vision ahead of her, she couldn’t afford to be swayed by personal feelings.
Was that why she’d told Ellen to leave, believing it was better for Ellen not to be there?
Lost in these thoughts, Olivia glanced at Charlotte and held her breath.
Charlotte’s eyes were tightly shut, her hands covering her mouth, crying more sorrowfully than anyone else.
How could her heart find peace? She understood that Ellen had to leave, but having betrayed Reinhart in the past as well, she felt immense guilt in saying she could stay while Ellen could not.
She wept silently as she watched Ellen’s departing figure, unable to let out even a single sound. She knew better than anyone that they were in the same situation, yet she had forced Ellen away with her own words. She truly couldn’t bear it.
“Damn it...”
Almost everything had been resolved in an impeccable manner, almost impossibly so. But not everything could turn out perfectly.
So Olivia did something she would never normally do.
