NovelOnlineChapter 0163 Several minutes later, we arrived back at the palace. I was glad it was still standing, and nobody seemed hurt since I left a couple of hours ago. I knew this imposter would be angry because I had left after promising to accompany her into our bedroom. "Elliot..." Mariah said as she walked into the front room. "I was just heading to the packhouse for the night. There's leftover food in the fridge if any of you are hungry." She paused when she saw Charlotte and a kind smile appeared on her lips.
"Miss Crown. It's been a while. Welchome," she said sweetly.
Charlotte smiled at Mariah.
"It's good to see you again, Mariah," she replied. "I'm glad to see this place hasn't changed much." "The Alpha doesn't like change as you already know," Mariah chuckled.

"If you need anything, letknow. I'm staying at the packhouse until tomorrow evening because they are short- staffed. Everyone here knows already." "Thank you, Mariah," I said over my shoulder.

"I told you that I don't remember much," she said, biting her lower lip.

She frowned.
