Chapter 192

Charlotte repeatedly paced across the empty Heath residence by

herself.

Cecelia and Rodney both left Khebury this morning for the Capital for

some business.

She was the only one in the empty house.

Ricky sent her back to the house in the afternoon, and then went out on

his own to do some work and to get some information, and had not

returned.

She drifted off to sleep for a while and woke up to find it was almost

dark, and her whole body was covered in cold sweat, like she had just

been fished out of the water. Perhaps she had a terrible nightmare just

now, her heart was now full of fear and she started to get restless.

She got up and went to the bathroom to put on hot water to take a bath.

She wanted to relax her body, but the more she washed, the more

suffocating she felt, and she could hardly breathe. She could only

change into a bathrobe and hurriedly get out of the tub.

At this point, it was all dark outside, and the endless darkness of the

night seemed to have completely enveloped the surrounding area.

She took a few bites of noodles for dinner and lost her appetite.

Feeling unease, she threw all the clothes she had worn today into the

washing machine.

She wanted to clean all the traces associated with Stephanie.

As she watched the washing machine go round and round, her heart

seemed to shake up and down with it. She watched for a long time, so

uncomfortable that she felt like throwing up.

Today she killed someone. She actually killed someone with her own

hands!

She had actually killed someone! As much as she wanted Stephanie to

die before! Because Stephanie got in her way, one more day of life she

got, and the engagement between her and Luther could be dragged on

and on.

At the time she did it, she was nervous, but she did not hesitate, and

even to the end, she had a different sense of excitement. She admired

Stephanie's helplessness and despair, anger and pain before she died,

and it was such a relief for her to watch Stephanie die knowing the truth

but unable to do anything about it!

But by now, when the endless darkness fell, she began to be afraid.

The wind was blowing outside and the leaves were rustling, making her

even more scared and her heart pounding.

And at that moment, the door of the house was suddenly opened.

With this a gush of cold wind blowed into the room, and Charlotte could

not help but shiver a bit.

Charlotte was startled at first and instinctively took two steps

backwards, nearly hitting the wall behind her. When she saw that it was

Ricky who had returned, she immediately ran forward.

"What took you so long to get back? It's so late." Charlotte snapped.

Ricky locked the door behind him and turned off the safety lock so that

no one could open it from the outside. He wrapped an arm around

Charlotte and led her to the living room sofa and sat down.

"How did it go? Did it go well?" Charlotte forgot that she had been

wearing a bathrobe all this time. The loose belt hung in the middle, but

it was far from enough to keep what was inside from Ricky's sight,

revealing a large area of her snow-white skin. Her hair had been left

long, and at the moment it was dripping wet and hanging over her

chest, adding to it a bit of femininity.

"Don't worry, I'm here, it's all taken care of. Everything's fine." Ricky sat

down next to her, the sight in front of him was so enticing that he

couldn't help but gulp as his throat rolled.

"Is Stephanie really dead?" Charlotte was a little unsure. After all,

Stephanie was still alive when she left.

"Of course! Stephanie died around 4:00, as I expected, and Joyce

returned to the Warner family around 4:30, making her the most

suspicious person. Then Jacqueline and Shelly were lured to the

Warner family by me, and after that the police all arrived, and

everything went as smoothly as could be expected.” Ricky recounted.

"Jacqueline really seized this opportunity to try to screw Joyce, and she

should have used her connections at the top.” He raised his hand and

looked at his watch, "Just half an hour before I came back, the arrest

warrant from the prosecutor's office has been approved, and Joyce has

been sent to the detention center for now."
