Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 882

Theresa decided her best bet was to stall him.

"No, Theresa. I think tonight is perfect. I came here tonight to settle this with you. Let's just be together tonight! I know your dad doesn't like me right now, but once we cross that line and consummate this, he'll have no choice but to accept it!"

Before she could react, Charles dove in to kiss her, aggressively tearing at her clothes.

"Charles, let me go! Get off me!" Theresa screamed, thrashing against him.

"Shut up! If you scream and bring people running, I swear I'll kill you and then myself! If my life is ruined, yours will be too."

Charles continued to threaten her while ripping at her pajamas, forcefully trying to pry her legs apart.

Theresa was shaking with rage. Taking advantage of his frantic movements, she subtly reached over and yanked a hidden cord beside her bed.

It was a panic alarm.

Back when Logan was first assigned as her personal bodyguard, he had thoroughly inspected her bedroom.

He had insisted that, just in case, she needed a silent alarm system installed right by her bed.

Logan had wired the system himself. All she had to do was pull the cord, and a direct alert would go straight to his phone.

At the time, Theresa had actually mocked him, calling him paranoid and telling him he had too much time on his hands.

What kind of danger could she possibly face inside her own highly secured home?

She had even heavily suspected that he wasn't installing an alarm at all, but rather a hidden camera to spy on her.

Logan hadn't bothered to argue with her.

She never imagined the day would come when it would actually save her life.

Downstairs.

Logan was lying in bed, fast asleep.

Suddenly, a piercing siren erupted from his phone.

He grabbed it instantly, his eyes snapping open, and bolted out of the room.

Theresa's panic alarm was hardwired to override his phone's silent mode, ensuring he would hear it no matter what.

"Let me go! Charles, you psycho! Get off me!"

"Theresa, just give in! Once you're carrying my baby, your dad will have to accept me whether he wants to or not!"

Seeing the terrifying look in Logan's eyes, Charles scrambled backward and leaped out the open window.

The window just happened to be right next to where he had landed.

"Oh no, he escaped! You have to catch him, Logan. I want him to pay!" Theresa demanded, her voice shaking with fury.

No one had ever dared to humiliate her like this. She had nearly been assaulted in her own bed.

"Don't worry. He can run, but he can't hide."

Logan immediately vaulted out the window after him, instantly triggering the estate's blaring security sirens to rally all the guards to hunt Charles down.

Hearing the deafening alarms echoing across the grounds, Charles panicked completely.

He had failed to get what he wanted, and now he had brought a massive catastrophe down on his own head.

Security personnel were swarming everywhere. Terrified out of his mind, he scurried through the bushes like a trapped rat.

Lorna had been sleeping soundly when the blaring alarms jolted her awake.

She sat up in a daze, immediately noticing that Charles was gone.
