“Yep, we can’t let go of those bastards easily. If Ernest hasn’t arrived there in time, Florence would have been raped. Although Florence is rescued, she…”
Charlotte clutched her dress tightly and choked with sobs sorrowfully with tears streaming down her face.
She acted like she hated those men very much and like she was the victim.
Brianna was sitting beside Georgia. When hearing these words, her eyes lit up, but her expressions still looked serious and angry.
“Flory was almost raped? What the hell had those men done to Flory?”
“Those sons of bitches! When we arrived there, they had taken away Florence’s clothes and she was wearing underwear. She was almost…”
“Shut up!”
Before Charlotte could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ernest’s snappish words.
Ernest glanced at Charlotte coldly with daggers in his eyes, “Who told you about this?”
Charlotte was startled and gazed at Ernest in a panic, “Ernest, did I say the wrong thing? I didn’t mean to do it. I was just feeling angry for Florence.”
Ernest ignored her and questioned in a cold voice, “Who told you about this?”
Charlotte was scared and replied weakly, “I heard from the police officers. Those criminals gave the details of their crime.”
The atmosphere in the room immediately became cold.
Ernest pulled a long face and exuded a cold, ferocious aura.
The reason why he came into the old factory alone was that he was afraid that he was so late that Florence would have been raped. He felt heartbroken when simply imaging that scene and of course he would not allow others to witness it.
Nevertheless, he only thought about how to prevent others to see the scene and how to rescue Florence back then, so he hadn’t taken those people’s confessions into consideration.
Dame it!
He had to go to the police office in person.
Charlotte was scared by Ernest’s aura and didn’t dare to utter a syllable. Nevertheless, Brianna raised her voice as if she had discovered something extraordinary and said with astonishment, “Oh my gosh, they took off Flory’s clothes? She’s Ernest’s wife-to-be. If this is spread out, it will be a great shame to the Hawkins family. Those outsiders will laugh at us.”
Nicholas and Melissa’s expressions turn hideous when hearing her words.
Her daughter was a victim, but she was now distained.
Although the Hawkins family was a noble family and paid attention to its reputation the most…
If Florence married into the family in the future and they made things difficult for her with this thing as their excuse, they would rather that Florence would not marry Ernest.
Nicolas and Melissa exchanged a glance and both of them had noticed the other party’s hesitation as well as resolution.
Although Florence was their foster daughter, they had been treated her as their biological daughter. They wouldn’t let Florence come to grief even if this meant that she could not marry into the Hawkins family.
However, when Nicholas was about to express himself with a serious look, Ernest’s voice sounded.
His voice was cold and overbearing, “Who dare to laugh at my woman?”
He looked towards Brianna coldly.
A shiver ran down Brianna’s spine and she wanted to shrink back out of instinct as she lost the courage to challenge him.
Nevertheless, such opportunity was quite rare.
