From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables-Chapter 1572

Chapter 1572: 700 Return to slap the face (Middle)_1 Chapter 1572: 700 Return to slap the face (Middle)_1 In that instant, Charlotte Aria suddenly felt a chill run through her body, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down her back.

With great effort, she repressed the fear bubbling up within her, putting up a façade of a benevolent smile that she had perfected from years of discipline.

Just standing there quietly, she was quite the intimidating sight.

“How dare you!

This is not a place for you to act wildly, get down,” chided Lina Martinez with a cold stern voice.

Charlotte remained calm, “Madam Lewis, I have admired Monk Evander Quillon for a long time.

...

I heard he came to discuss the Buddhist teachings, and even though I’m no expert, I do know a thing or two.”

Lina could not hold back her laughter.

She had never seen someone so audaciously overconfident and overestimate themselves.

She wondered who Charlotte thought she was – her naivety was stupefying.

Charlotte’s motive was fairly straightforward – the greater the talent, the greater the courage.

She intended to seize this opportunity to make a name for herself, given she had memorized all the Buddhist scriptures.

“Master, this beautiful woman would like to discuss the Buddhist scriptures with you,” the King of Royalty said with a smile that made his chubby, benign-looking face beam.

Monk Evander Quillon cast a brief glance at Charlotte, shielding with one hand and making a seal with the other.

A string of chants flowed from his lips, sounding as elegant as heavenly music, solemn and sacred.

Charlotte bit her lip.

The Buddhist teaching of the Royalty Kingdom was different from the traditional Buddhist teaching of Jimenez.

They belonged to different branches and even their scriptures were in Royalty Language.

She understood a bit of it, but mastering the profound scriptures was not feasible overnight.

Charlotte assumed from the moment she had announced herself, the King of Royalty would look at her through a new lens, but was merely being naive.

There was something oddly probing about his behavior.

Realizing this, Charlotte clasped her hands together and solemnly started chanting the Heart Sutra, a Mahayana classic.

There was no way she could go wrong with it.

Right at this moment, Monk Evander Quillon opened his eyes again, demurely watching Charlotte chant the scripture.

After Charlotte finished her chant, the King of Royalty made a faint smile, “It’s good, that’s one of the classics from the Buddhist Teachings.

However, in my eyes, that’s all it is.”

Charlotte’s face turned a shade paler.

Lina chimed in with a soft smile, “Madam, there are many sects in the world, each with its own classics.

We have a saying in Jimenez, ‘people see from their own perspective’.”

Gently yet decidedly, she had resolved the imminent crisis.

The King of Royalty nodded in approval, “Madam, you speak wisely.”

“Now leave,” Lina commanded coldly.

Vanie Hayes quickly dragged Charlotte out.

Upon reaching a corner, Vanie looked around and harshly said, “You almost got me killed.

I won’t help you again in the future.”

With that, she turned around and ran off.

Charlotte clenched her fist, her face pale.

She had oversimplified things.

The King of Royalty would not be easily fooled and that monk!

Charlotte was overwhelmed with fear from the gaze that had lingered on her.

She instinctively took out her phone and dialed Charmaine Dankworth to report what had just occurred.

“What?

Why were you so impulsive?

Why didn’t you discuss this with me?

Only when you’re in trouble you remember me, don’t you?”

“Charlotte Aria, use your thick skull and think.

With the bit of knowledge you have, how can you possibly compete with a king or a master monk?

Even showing off requires the right timing.”

Charlotte was left speechless and chided by Charmaine Dankworth.

Her lips turned pale, she tightly gripped the phone, a look of injustice and indignation in her eyes.

“Furthermore, I warn you, that monk from the Royalty Kingdom is very strange.

You’re best to stay far away from him.

You can’t blame me for not warning you.”

“Why?”

“There’s no why, we’ve worked on this plan for such a long time, we can’t let it go to waste.”

“You better leave the reception immediately and return to your retreat.”

This was the part where Charmaine was most disappointed with Charlotte.

She loved the spotlight too much and was too anxious to gain fame.

High profile individuals are at greater risk and given Charlotte’s current status, it was a significant risk.

Charlotte had worked extremely hard to join the reception group and wouldn’t leave without a fight: “I…I signed a non-disclosure agreement, I can’t leave until the end of the national celebration.”

Charmaine inhaled deeply, holding back her anger: “Get this straight – from now on, be more prudent.

If not, I’ll have to replace you.”

“Also, I’ve obtained the item you wanted.

I’ll immediately send someone to deliver it, I hope it will actually be useful to you.”

With that, Charmaine hung up the phone.

Charlotte’s eyes darkened, she hadn’t taken Charmaine’s warning to heart.

The King of Royalty Kingdom had a benign face; how could he harm her?

Though the monk seemed a bit mysterious, but this was Jimenez; what did she have to fear?
