Morgan glanced at her phone and felt regretful. If only she hadnât introduced Smollett to Charlotte in the first placeâ¦
Unfortunately, thereâs no turning back now.
And so, Morgan passed out.
Not far away, Smollett watched the scene unfold, a smirk forming on his lips. He had originally thought of maintaining a superficial peace with Morgan but never expected her to risk her life by secretly investigating him.
So he had no choice; only the dead can keep secrets forever. Seeing more and more people gathering around, Smollett quickly left the scene.
He immediately went to Marthaâs house. Upon seeing him, Martha was both surprised and angry and immediately pulled him inside.
âDidnât we agree never to contact each other in real life?â Martha angrily questioned âI may have been exposed,â Smollett calmly told Martha, who widened her eyes in disbelief.
âArenât they very trusting of you? How could you suddenly be exposed?â Martha asked repeatedly.
Thinking of what Joe had told her before, Martha looked at Smollett skeptically, âAre you overthinking this?â
Smollett had no choice but to tell her what had just happened.
âYou idiot!â
Martha glared at Smollett.
She never expected Smollett to take action against Morgan at this critical moment.
Now, even if Morgan didnât find out about Smollettâs true identity, he probably couldnât stay much longer.
âSince they havenât suspected me yet, why not go for the kill?â Smollett narrowed his eyes, not concealing the murderous intent in them.
Martha hesitated for a moment, âYou meanâ¦â
âStrike first,â Smollett said calmly.
Although it wasnât time to eliminate Charlotte yet, Martha thought about how she seemed to be getting out of control lately. If she died, they could place someone they truly trusted beside Joe.
Martha clenched her teeth, âAlright.â
That afternoon, Smollett showed up at the villa, explaining his sudden appearance like this, âPsychotherapy is a long and continuous process. Mrs.
Smith hasnât had treatment in a while, and I worry it might affect her.â
News of Morganâs car accident had not reached the Smith family, but Smollettâs sudden appearance made Joe vigilant.
Especially since Dorothy had warned not to let Charlotte be emotionally affected any further.
âSheâs not feeling well right now, perhaps she can continue treatment in a few days,â Joe said evasively.
Smollett raised an eyebrow, âMr. Smith, do you have a problem with me? If so, why donât we just stop the therapy altogether?â
Smollett tried to force Joe to let him see Charlotte, but he was surprised when Joe readily agreed, âIf Dr. Twain feels youâre not up to the task, then thatâs fine.â
Smollett did not expect Joe to actually agree and furrowed his brows. Did Joe really discover something about him?
Smollett decided to back off, âFine, letâs leave it at that.â
Smollett turned to leave, glancing back at the room where he used to conduct psychotherapy.
Do you guys really think you can get rid of me just like that? Not so easy.
Even if he had to die, he would make sure to take someone down with him.
