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
Charlotte was completely lost in Bryson’s story.“Soon, I woke up in the sewer. I was extremely weak at the time, and it took all of my strength to get up. I didn’t call the police, nor did I go back. I went to the Black Market instead. That’s what happened four years ago.”“But Tiffany wasn’t dead yet at the time, so why didn’t you come back to seek revenge on her?” Charlotte asked.Bryson curled up his thin lips slightly and replied, “Because of you.”Charlotte was stunned. “Me? Why?”Bryson’s gaze became gentle. “I never told you how much I regretted what I did after learning about Tiffany's deception. However, you were already disappointed in me and had become someone else's wife, so I knew there was no way to get you back even though I regretted it. Ever since then, my life was worse than death every day, and when I woke up in the sewer, I suddenly realized that it was a relief for me to let go of all my past grudges and live again in a different role.”“Okay then!” Charlo
In the past, when he had been bullied by Zachary, he’d always gritted his teeth and swore that he would become stronger.He had indeed become stronger now!Not only was he still alive, but he had also become Night King of Rothesay!“Ms. Simmons, you’re the one who called the police just now, right?”It was only when a stern voice rang out in front of her that Charlotte snapped back to reality and realized two police officers were standing before her.She hastily withdrew her gaze from the direction Bryson’s car had headed in.“Yes!” she said as she pointed at the car in the center of the road. “The person who killed Renata and her father is Elizabeth. She’s inside the car, but I’m not sure if she’s still alive or not.”The police officer sized Charlotte up with a conflicted gaze. “We’ve run a thorough check on her. Although she’s in bad shape, her breathing is smooth and her vitals are stable. We’ve already called an ambulance, so she will be fine.”Charlotte heaved a sigh
