Charlotte pulled her gaze away from Virginia’s face and smiled lightly at Renata. “Thanks.”While she was wiping her hair, Renata looked at her meaningfully. “I heard rumors that your memory has recovered, hasn’t it?”Charlotte nodded. “Yeah.”“Then, please allow me to ask you a question...” There was a trace of sorrow in Renata’s eyes. “I’ve been very close to you for more than four years after you lost your memory. Although I was close to you because I had an ulterior motive, I can feel that you’re a very kind person deep down. However, you did do a lot of unbelievable things back then...”“Tiria! I’ve always wanted to ask you. I was your only best friend back then, and you clearly knew that I loved Frank very much. We even got engaged and bought a wedding house together. Why did you seduce him and break us up?““This...” Charlotte pursed her lips awkwardly, then sighed. “Rena, in fact, even I don’t know why.”Renata was slightly startled. “How’s this possible? You don’t know t
“Virginia Swenson is suspected of attempting to murder your daughter, Sotiria. In addition, based on our previous investigation and the evidence that we have on hand, we also suspect that she’s tied to the death of your ex-wife, Carissa Fellowes.”Hearing what the police officers said, Harvey was shocked.Officer Zimmerman then continued. “However, we can’t make any rash judgment right now. We’re planning to ask you for some information. Now that you’re here, you and Mr. Marco should go to the precinct with us.”Harvey could not say another word but nod sadly.Marco did not even take a glance at Virginia but went straight to Charlotte. “Tiria, why are you so wet?”Charlotte smiled, “Our stepmother threw me into the lake for a cold bath just now. It’s no big deal.”Marco was speechless. He looked at Virginia in surprise, then took off his jacket as quickly as possible and wrapped it around Charlotte’s wet body. “You’ve always been weak. Go into the car so that you won’t catch a co
Charlotte, Marco, Renata, Harvey, and Virginia all came to the police station.The police officers escorted Virginia into an interrogation room. While they were interrogating Virginia, the police officers also took Charlotte, Marco, and the others into separate rooms to ask about the situation.Although the police told Charlotte that she could leave around two o’clock in the afternoon, she waited for the investigation results in the yard of the police station because she eagerly wanted to know the results of the investigation.Marco, Renata, and Harvey also stayed behind to wait for the results, just like her.Officer Zimmerman came out of the precinct at about five o’clock in the evening and walked straight to Charlotte. “After our interrogation, Virginia confessed the fact that she had brought harm to you by Crescent Lake not long ago. In addition, she admitted that she spiked the beverage that you drank on your wedding day and arranged for the two men to wait for you in the bath
Marco also hated Virginia to death, but in order to comfort Harvey, he could only try his best to keep himself calm and say softly, “Father, the past has passed, the law will punish Virginia, and Μother can finally rest in peace too.”At this time, two police officers were escorting Virginia out, and one of them said, “Mr. Green, Ms. Swenson has asked to see you.”Harvey’s face dimmed as he pushed Marco away and walked toward Virginia furiously. “Give me the truth. Is what Officer Zimmerman told me true? Did you really kill Carissa?”Virginia lowered her head as she did not dare to look at Harvey’s aggrieved gaze and whispered, “Harvey, although it was too much for me to do so in the beginning—”“Shut your trap, no more nonsense!” Harvey interrupted Virginia coldly. “I just want to know, did you kill Carissa? Give it to me straight!”Virginia could only nod her head. “Yes.”“You—” Harvey, who was extremely ferocious, slapped Virginia’s face with every fiber of his being.“Aaah!”
“Tiria, I remember that you once told me that it was Virginia who killed your mother after your mother’s death, but I didn’t believe it.“You were fooling around with a few men in a bar on the day of your mother’s first death anniversary. You even became addicted to drugs after that. I beat you severely after learning about that. You did tell me that Virginia was the person who arranged for those men to do so to you, but I refused to believe in you, chased you out of the house, and forbade you from stepping into the house again... I now know that I’ve wrongfully blamed you throughout all these years.““Oh?” Charlotte sneered. “Yes, you did wrongfully blame your daughter, then?”“Then…” Harvey gently grabbed Charlotte’s hand, his eyes full of guilt. “Tiria, I’ve been so flummoxed! Please forgive me. I’ll treat you well from now on, okay?”Charlotte did not know how to respond to that for a while.After all, she was not Sotiria. She did not know how Sotiria would react to her exoner
At this time, a cool beige Ferrari was parked outside the gate of the precinct. When Lucas saw Charlotte and Renata walking out of the precinct from inside the car, he immediately poked his head out of the car window.“Milady, Second Master asked me to pick you up and send you home. Please get in the car.”Charlotte shook her head. “Our cars are still parked at Crescent Lake. We have to go back there to pick up our cars, so I can’t go home with you.”Lucas rubbed his oversized earrings habitually. “In this case, I’ll send you to Crescent Lake. Is that okay with you?”Charlotte nodded. “Of course.”After saying so, she pulled Renata gently. “Let’s go!”“Okay~” Renata nodded in a daze. Although she was walking toward Lucas’s car with Charlotte, her eyes were fixed on Lucas’s face all this time.‘This man is so handsome! Not only is he handsome, but he also has a dazzling golden afro and a pair of oversized earrings. Usually, men with this hairstyle and wearing such earrings have a
She then sighed in the next second. “Luke, I expected you to say so before I disclosed such information to you. I’m the only person in the whole world who knows that Lorraine isn’t as pure and innocent as everybody thinks she is. No one would believe me. That was why I could only hope to go down together with her back then.”“Milady, please don’t say so. It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’d definitely believe you if you were to say that it was some other person who did those things, but you’re talking about Ms. Larson…” Lucas smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry! Milady! I can’t believe what you just said if you can’t show me any evidence!”Charlotte did not say another word, started the car, and drove forward.In fact, Zachary had also asked her the same question that Lucas just asked when he was bathing her yesterday.However, she had not even answered him.Back then, no matter how grave the conflict between her and Lorraine was, Zachary had always shielded her and wronged Lorrai
A hint of gentleness appeared in Zachary’s cold eyes.Garrison stood by the side like a sculpture, his attractive face filled with sorrow.This was the wedding house that both he and Charlotte shared.Although Garrison had never had the opportunity to seal the deal and make their couple title sexually official ever since he married Charlotte, he only needed to hold Charlotte’s hand and hug her every time she returned home in order to feel extremely steadfast and satisfied.At that moment, all three of them were in their wedding room, but Garrison felt like he was the superfluous third wheel.“Bad Uncle, why are you holding mommy’s hand? Daddy told me that only daddy could hold mommy’s hand. It’s illegal for other boys to hold mommy’s hand, and they’ll be shot.”This puerile voice sounded all of a sudden just like a silver bell.Only then did Zachary let go of Charlotte’s hand and looked at the cute little baby who was sitting on the sofa. A hint of warmth flashed across the frig
