99 Bloody Lashes And A Bullet To His Hear novel Chapter 130

Charlotte rejected them without hesitation.

“No, thanks. New Orleans has my parents and family. As for Miami… I’m tired of it.”

Jaziel suddenly smiled, but his expression quickly turned cold.

“Charlotte, you’ll regret this. You’ll come back to us!”

“There’s no need. I won’t give you the chance,” she replied coolly.

At Theodore’s subtle hand gesture, the bodyguards swiftly gagged Jaziel and Nolan, tied their hands and feet, and tossed them into a helicopter.

Theodore, aware that his new bride had just witnessed his ruthlessness, felt a twinge of unease.

“Charlotte, are you afraid of me like this?”

He had earned his place in the Washington family not through gentleness but by employing decisive, even harsh

methods. However, he didn’t want this side of him to frighten her.

Charlotte gazed at Theodore, and for a moment, the gap between them seemed to shrink. She smiled and shook her

head.

“Why would I be? I think this was handled quite well.”

With two sources of trouble removed, life was undoubtedly simpler.

Charlotte hadn’t expected Jaziel and Nolan to chase after her. In her mind, without her in the picture, they would no longer be held back by inner conflict and would be free to pursue Sophie openly.

The three of them were already living together–getting together was only a matter of time.

Besides, Sophie clearly had that intention.

Charlotte thought, They’re just not used to me being gone yet.

A photograph left behind for a few years becomes hard to part with. A person you’ve spent over twenty years with suddenly leaving–it’s natural to feel unsettled.

But with enough time, even habits can be broken.

Charlotte followed Theodore home.

Meanwhile, the rumbling of the helicopter engines mirrored the chaos in Jaziel and Nolan’s minds.

Why had they even come?
