Hearing that, Charlotte felt bad too. Letting out a sigh, she murmured, “I’m sorry. If only I called the police earlier, things might have turned out differently.”
“Why didn’t you call the police?” Amanda agitatedly accused, “Why?”
“I wanted to report it when I witnessed the incident unfold. However, they spotted me and chased after me. Then, someone else appeared to stop them, so I thought it was over. I did not expect…”
“Someone came out to stop them?” Amanda picked up an important point and grilled Charlotte about it, “Why did you think that it was over? Was it Hector who appeared?”
“No, it was Owen…” Charlotte explained, “I thought that since they were a family once, Owen would save Luna. Besides, it was illegal to hold someone forcefully, and Owen would not allow that to happen…”“A family? How were they a family?” Amanda wailed, “Didn’t you know that Owen hates Luna? He probably stopped them as a show for you so you would not call the police. After you left, he must have continued to punish Luna.”
“That can’t be true, right?” Charlotte was shocked. “Why does he hate Luna? Even if they had disagreements, he wouldn’t…”
“Forget it. I can’t be bothered to explain it to you.” Amanda was livid. “Charlotte, you should pray for good luck. If you don’t learn your lesson, someone as innocent as you will be bound to meet an unfortunate event!”
With that, Amanda ended the call.
As Charlotte listened to the silence on the other end, she thought about Amanda’s words and felt horrible…
Does Owen really have an issue with her?
Did he plan it with Helena?
Thinking back, Luna was arrogant and defiant. She never respected others and probably offended Owen back then. As such, he held a grudge against her.
This was not impossible.
Well, recalling the past events, she had known Owen together with Hector from a young age. In her memory, Owen was someone who was upright and righteous.
