The next day, Charlotte got up as soon as the alarm clock went off as usual.She walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room, just to find out that those roses were still in the living room.Although it had been a whole night and the petals were not as delicate as the night before, the flowers were still fragrant and beautiful.Looking at these flowers, Charlotte could not help but think of Zachary.Thus, she subconsciously looked towards the French window, but Zachary, who was used to practicing his reading routine in front of the French window, was not there at the moment.“Are you looking for Zachary?” Garrison’s melodious voice sounded at that moment.She found out that Garrison was sitting on the sofa, and she put on a smile immediately. “Hehe, yes! Didn’t he move to our house that day? Why is he not here today?”Garrison smiled gently. “He left after you and Naomi went back to the bedroom last night. I think he probably has some things to attend to.”Charlotte n
After saying so, Charlotte rubbed Naomi’s little head. “Naomi, let’s go.”“Carlie!” The agitated Garrison suddenly strode in front of Charlotte, blocked her way, and hugged her tightly. “I know that you’re a good woman, and I also know that the person you love is Zachary. By now, I don’t expect to have you for myself. I’m just asking you to have pity on me and share your love for Zachary with me. Is that okay for you?”Charlotte’s mind turned blank, and as a result, she forgot to push Garrison away for a short while.Garrison hugged her tightly. His thin lips were pressed against her ears—the scorching warmth seemed to have melted her away. “You can never imagine just how deep my love for you is. I’ve had insomnia every night since the day you regained your memory. I think about what I should and would do after I lose you every night. And the more I think about it, the more scared I get. Because after I’ve gotten so used to living my life with you in it throughout the four years, I’
Charlotte called Marco immediately after sending Naomi to the kindergarten.The second Charlotte answered the phone, Marco’s voice sounded in Charlotte’s ears.“Tiria, I was just looking for you for something, but you’ve always liked to sleep in. I was afraid of waking you up, so I decided to call you after 10:00 a.m. I didn’t expect you to wake up so early today.”‘Okay!’Charlotte admitted that she did have the habit of sleeping in. Even her alarm clock could not wake her up sometimes, and the ray of the sun would be strong enough to shine into her room through the window when she woke up naturally.She smiled. “Marc, tell me first, why are you calling me?”Marco, who was on the other end of the phone call, patted the urn on the table. “Don’t you know what happened? Virginia was executed yesterday.”At that moment, Charlotte seemed to be able to imagine Virginia’s bloated face in front of her eyes.‘Virginia, that vicious woman was executed so quickly. It’s what she deserved.
Embarrassment and guilt were intertwining in Harvey’s eyes. “Tiria, why are you saying that again?”Charlotte smiled coldly and shifted her gaze onto Marco’s slender and well-defined face. “Marc, you asked me in the precinct the other day about why I’ve been saying a lot of strange things recently. I told you that I’d give you the answer in three days. The reason I said three days later was that I planned to expose Lorraine three days later. I didn’t expect things to develop smoother than I planned. I successfully exposed Lorraine yesterday, so I plan to give you the answer today.”“Lorraine… She’s Garrison’s younger sister and your sister-in-law. Why are you trying to expose her? What did you expose of her!?” Marco’s eyes looked perplexed.“About this, if I were to tell you everything in detail, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to finish it in one day. So, I’ll wait until I have the time to explain everything to you slowly.” Charlotte smiled. “Marc, I want to tell you that I’m ac
Charlotte took a second to calm herself down. “Officer, are you mistaken? My name is Sotiria Green. Why are you calling me Ms. Simmons? Have you forgotten? I just got commended by the police department for exposing Virginia a few days ago!”“Of course we remember your brave action of exposing Virginia’s witty behavior, but that’s another story. No matter how much good a person has done, if they’ve committed a crime, we’ll still have to punish them in the name of the law.”The police officer took out an arrest warrant while speaking. “Someone reported that you’re not really Sotiria Green, but Charlotte Simmons, the person who stabbed Lorraine Larson four years ago and pushed her off the cliff. The person who reported you also provided us with a lot of evidence. So, I’m sorry, but we must arrest you.”A high pitch sound echoed in Charlotte’s ears.She continued to live as Sotiria after regaining her memory because she was worried the police would arrest her upon learning about her tr
“I know…” Charlotte shrugged. “But, you doing so won’t help me out. You listen to me and stop obstructing the police. Plus, you know who to call, right?”Marco nodded. “Yeah.”Charlotte smiled. “Then there’s nothing that I should be worried about. Marc, the only person who can save me now is him. So go and call him.”Marco, who understood Charlotte’s meaning, stepped aside.After Charlotte was taken into the police car, Marco called Garrison immediately. “Garrison, this is bad. The police have learned about Tiria’s true identity and have taken her away. Mr. Connor is the only person who can save her now. Please contact Mr. Connor and ask him to save her!”Charlotte was taken to the police station about ten minutes later.Charlotte remembered that her former self always abided by the law. She had never come to the precinct before she was 23 years old…However, since a few days ago, she had been in and out of the precinct as a victim or a criminal. This made her look like a repeat
Officer Zimmerman was taken aback for a moment before he could say, “Although you’ve confessed voluntarily, we still have to run a DNA test in order to obtain evidence. So Ms. Simmons, please cooperate.”Charlotte could only roll up her sleeves.While the doctor was drawing blood from Charlotte, Officer Zimmerman asked, “Four years ago, we looked deeply into your profile after you pushed Ms. Larson off the cliff. According to our investigation, you weren’t only the ’first lady’ of Rothesay, but also Mr. Connor’s wife. You were filming a big production movie. It’s really not an exaggeration to say that you were a veritable achiever in life…“An achiever in life like you should cherish your reputation more than anything else. We never figured out why you did something that would crush your reputation into pieces.““It was Lorraine who forced me to do that!” Charlotte shook her head expressionlessly. “I think she’ll come to you soon to confess everything. You’ll all understand by then
Charlotte raised her eyebrows calmly. “What’s so serious about it? I’ll be fine?”The policewoman was rendered speechless while the corners of her lips twitched. She replied sternly, “Sigh! You really don’t know! Let me tell you about it then. Four years ago, you were classified as a felon because of the attempted murder of Ms. Larson. Even Virginia, who was executed a few days ago, hadn’t been classified as a felon. In other words, you’re definitely looking at the death penalty here. Mr. Connor managed to bail you out the last time you were locked up in here. But I’m afraid that even Mr. Connor won’t be able to save you this time around!”“Really?” Charlotte was unimpressed. “He’ll definitely get me out of here. You don’t believe me? Let’s just wait and see.”“This… Sigh!” The policewoman thought that there was something wrong with Charlotte, so she sighed and stopped talking to her again.A few minutes later, Officer Zimmerman, the policewoman, and the doctor left the room.The
