Charles' POV:
As I watched Caroline walk away, I was satisfied.
Right now, I had mixed feelings.
At first, I thought that Caroline and I would never get back together again, but I didn't expect that a turning point in our broken relationship would just show itself.
Scenes of the passionate night we spent together flashed through my mind, and they put a smile on my face.
My heart was soon filled with warmth and satisfaction.
I was sure that Caroline still loved me.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to kiss me.
'It's a pity that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to her when she sobered up. If that weren't the case, I would've kissed her as much as I wanted to make up for the lost time.'
Soon, I got dressed and walked out of the room.
I no longer felt depressed.
Once I was ashore, a figure came rushing towards me.
"Charles, I finally found you! You are here!"
It was Raina.
She was wearing ragged clothing, looking as disheveled as a drowned rat.
"Raina? What are you doing here?" I asked, visibly confused.
"Charles, I've been waiting for you the whole night. Why did it take you so long to come out?" Raina complained.
I backed away from her in disgust. "How dare you show up in front me? I still haven't forgotten about what you did to Chloe, you bitch!"
"Charles, please give me a chance to explain. I never meant to hurt Chloe. I was just so scared at the time," Raina pleaded as tears fell from her eyes.
"Is that why you chose to hurt Chloe? Do you have any idea what would've happened to her if I hadn't come in time?! My sister helped you out of the goodness of her heart, and yet you repaid her with animosity," I shouted, glaring at her.
Raina shook her head, desperately trying to appease me. "If you want, I can apologize to Chloe. Please, Charles. I'll do anything for you to forgive me!"
"Do you honestly believe that you have the right to ask for my forgiveness? I'm warning you, get the fuck out of my face and get as far away as you can."
I withdrew my gaze from her and started walking away.
However, Raina threw herself at me and held onto my leg like her life depended on it.
"Charles, I'm begging you, don't leave! I'll do anything, just let me stay with you."
I stopped in my tracks and kicked her away.
Raina staggered backwards and fell to the ground. She cried out in pain and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Charles, how can you be so heartless?"
"I never intended to be cruel to you, but you're ungrateful little cunt."
Having said that, I took out my phone and played a video.
A year ago, Raina admitted that she killed Rita in order to get closer to me.
She recounted a detailed description of how she killed Rita.
From the sound of her voice, I could hear that she took pleasure in doing the crime.
If anyone else had heard what she said, they would tremble in fear.
It was then that I decided to turn up the volume so that everyone around us could hear it clearly. Seconds later, I saw the frightened and conflicted expressions of the crowd.
A smile appeared on my lips and joy filled my heart.
It was time for Raina to pay for all that she'd done.
If I let her roam free, she might come between me and Caroline again.
"Charles, you had my confession recorded? How can you do this to me?"
Raina's eyes widened in disbelief. She screamed in bloody horror, sprang to her feet, and tried to snatch my phone away.
"Raina, it's game over for you. Don't even think that I'd be crazy enough to help you," I warned.
"Charles, am I so inferior to Caroline? Why do you take such good care of her, and yet you keep pushing me off the deep end?" Raina asked, sounding like she was the victim.
"You're nothing compared to her. In fact, you're not even qualified to compete against her."
After casting Raina a cold glare, I left.
Once I was in the car, Edward suddenly sent me a video and a message.
"I've heard that Raina has been antagonizing Caroline many times. Get your woman under control! If she ever tries to hurt my daughter again, she'll regret it!"
