Walter, who was determined to gain Kourtney’s favor, immediately called her.A red Bugatti drove into the courtyard more than ten minutes later.Clack!The car door opened.Walter rushed forward to greet Kourtney when she emerged from the vehicle.“Koko, you got here so soon? Didn’t I tell you to be safe and not drive so fast?”Kourtney gave Walter a snobby glance.“My driving methods are my business. Not yours.”Walter wasn’t angry at all. He continued to gaze at Kourtney with infatuation in his eyes.“Koko, I know we only just met a few hours ago, but I’m so happy to see you again. I really hope to see you every day now.”Kourtney raised her brows in derision and ignored Walter.Charlotte, who was standing next to Walter, was enraged.‘See?’Kourtney believed that she could hurt her father in any way she liked and it wouldn’t matter because her father was in love with her to the point of pathetic infinity.“Koko, did you know? I…”“Dad, enough!”Charlotte cut Walter o
If the person who had hurt her and her father had been anyone else, she could still have taken revenge.Unfortunately, the person who had hurt them was the woman who had given birth to her and the woman her father loved. She couldn’t have revenge at all.All she could do was ensure that Kourtney stayed far, far away from her father so that she could never hurt her father again…“Miss, may I make a fair statement?”An elderly voice rang out behind Charlotte.Charlotte stared in the direction where Kourtney’s car had left with tears in her eyes.“Go ahead, Mr. Gold.”“I’ve heard about the things Kourtney’s done to you. As an elder, I’m telling you that she’s not fit to be a mother. You don’t owe her anything. You don’t need to show her mercy…”Mr. Gold spoke sincerely as he approached Charlotte.“Miss, it’s hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s not a small number for anyone. Besides, you’re penniless now and you’ve even resorted to taking out loans… Your father is blind. You s
Charlotte immediately paled, as if she had heard a loud clap of thunder on a sunny day. “So you killed Renata!”Elizabeth smirked.“What’s wrong? You didn’t see that coming, did you, Charlotte? It’s really that surprising to you that I would kill that b*tch Renata after you two joined forces and caused my mother’s death?”Charlotte gasped.At that moment, she understood everything.However, when she’d seen Elizabeth in the Green home a few times, Elizabeth had seemed like a quiet, timid girl. She had never thought that Elizabeth would resort to such infuriating methods.At that moment, Elizabeth shoved a glass bottle in front of Charlotte.“Drink it.”The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched.“What’s in this bottle?”“You don’t need to worry about that,” Elizabeth replied in a husky voice. “All you need to know is that you’ll black out after drinking it. That’s all.”Charlotte lifted her brows and tried her best to remain calm.“Lizzie, listen to me. Your mother’s death was
“At the end of the day, you and Renata caused my mom’s death here. Today, I’m going to kill you in this lake!”Charlotte shook her head, her eyes looking cold and arrogant.“I’ve told you very clearly that I’m not responsible for your mother’s death, nor is Renata. She did this to herself. She’s responsible for what happened to her.”“Really?” Elizabeth sneered. “You still don’t know, Charlotte? Actually, my mother wasn’t the only one responsible for killing Sotiria’s mother. I was involved too. Later on, on that rainy day, the person who stopped you at the lake, knocked you out, and threw you in the lake along with your car was me!”‘What?’Charlotte was so shocked that she was rendered speechless.Elizabeth had a delicate, warm-looking face. She looked like a nice person.If she hadn’t admitted this herself, Charlotte never would have thought that she was just as much of a snake as Virginia…‘Oh, that’s right! I remember now! Last month, two people stopped my car by the lake
It took Charlotte a while to calm down before she found her voice again.“You’re despicable, Elizabeth. It’s bad enough that you killed Renata, but you wouldn’t even spare her father.”“Yes, I’m despicable! You and that b*tch Renata forced me to do this. I have to be!”Elizabeth, who now looked deranged, gave Charlotte a forceful kick in the leg. Her clear eyes were now bloodshot, like flickering flames.“Did you know, Charlotte? Before you exposed my mother, Harvey was always very nice to us. He even said that he would make me an executive in his office. However, after you exposed my mother, not only did he ignore her, but he was even cruel enough to have me thrown out of the Green home and let me live in the streets. My mom and I were supposed to be successful in life. We would have had a brilliant future, but you destroyed it all!”The more Elizabeth spoke, the angrier she got. Her frail figure wavered like green bristlegrass in the wind.“Charlotte, I just can’t understand. W
Elizabeth knew that she was no match for Charlotte. She took advantage of Charlotte’s momentary lapse, turned around, and ran.By the time Charlotte regained her senses, she heard the sound of a car door being hastily slammed shut. Elizabeth had slipped into the car.Elizabeth, who was hell-bent on killing Charlotte, ignored the pain in her wrist, gritted her teeth, and started the car, then hit the accelerator and drove toward Charlotte.Luckily, Charlotte was quick enough to jump out of the way.Boom!The car missed Charlotte. Instead, it crashed into the pier and nearly caught fire.At this point, Charlotte was hiding somewhere in between.The bridge was only one meter wide. The car couldn’t drive back in, so Elizabeth had no way of ramming the car against her, and she was too afraid to get out of the car and fight with her. Thus, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, start the car, turn the steering wheel, and drive away…A hint of disappointment filled Charlotte’s limpi
Charlotte wanted to tell him that she was fine.However, the man had already exited the vehicle at this point. She saw the man’s half-masked face and immediately forgot about whatever she’d wanted to say. “Night King, it’s you again!” she exclaimed.“Mm…” Night King had already arrived in front of her. He scanned her from head to toe and then paused on her right leg.“Your leg looks very red. What happened?”Charlotte shrugged.“Hey! That’s just a flesh wound. Elizabeth kicked me. It doesn’t hurt. It’ll be fine very soon. It’s alright.”Night King continued to stare at her wound.Her skin was as white as milk, so even though the wound wasn’t exactly severe, it looked like a pool of blood on a patch of snow on her body. It was particularly glaring and eye-catching.Usually, perfect objects were more susceptible to being spoiled and left with scars…Human skin was the same.He knew that her physique scarred easily. The bruise on her leg might not be severe, but it would take
“Mm.” Charlotte nodded.She turned toward the end of the road too. There were two poplar trees swaying in the wind. The leaves fluttered and landed on the bleak ground, and ripples were created on the surface of Crescent Lake…Even though the police car hadn’t arrived yet, based on the clear siren, it would be arriving soon.“Alright, then I’ve got to go.”Night King glanced reluctantly at Charlotte, turned around, and left.“Wait!”Charlotte immediately took a step forward. She wanted to take Night King’s hand, just like last time. However, just as the tips of her fingers touched his wrist, she realized that it would be inappropriate, so she quickly pulled her hand away.Night King stopped.“As the leader of the black market, I must keep my distance from the police. If you have anything else to say, say it before the police arrive,” he said with his back against her.“The last time we met, you said that you would let me see your face the next time we met, didn’t you?”At thi
