Chapter 2382
Rosalyn closed her eyes and waited for the pain to engulf her entire body.
She heard the splatter of blade piercing skin, but oddly enough, she did not feel the pain she anticipated.
The stench of blood filled her nostrils.
Rosalyn furrowed her brows and opened her eyes.
A familiar hand was gripping the blade, just inches away from her face, and her eyes widened in recognition.
"Charles!"
The man who had gripped the knife with his bare hands, preventing it from hurting her, was none other than Charles, her husband and head of the Landry family.
Bright red blood seeped out from between Charles' fingers and dripped down, splattering onto Rosalyn's legs.
In a split second, her white dress had been stained with blotches of red.
"Are you going to continue struggling, Butler Fred?" the clear voice of a man rang out seconds after Rosalyn's scream of surprise.
It was Jim.
Rosalyn lifted her head to glance in Butler Fred's direction.
At this exact moment, Joshua managed to subdue Mickey, and Jim had knocked Butler Fred onto the ground, wrapping his arms around the man's to restrain him.
Clang! The knife, its blade stained bright red with Charles' blood, clattered onto the ground.
Luna immediately stormed forward to grab hold of Charles.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," rasped Charles before he turned to smile at Rosalyn.
"This is all my fault...I shouldn't have done this!"
The night before, Butler Fred and Mickey had come to her and told her the 'truth' about how no one liked her.
Not only that, but they also lied to her about where Charles' heart lay and how Luna was secretly displeased with her because it was her poison that had killed Granny Lynch.
Initially, Rosalyn had taken pity on Butler Fred, thinking that he had indeed committed all these crimes for the Landry family.This was why she had been willing to take the fall for him.
After all, Butler Fred and Mickey had been with her for more than 20 years, so she trusted them with all her heart.
At this moment, she was finally enlightened to the truth.
The only reason Butler Fred and Mickey were loyal to her was because the Landry and Lynch families were mortal enemies.
"You're right; my mother is too kind.Her blind compassion had almost allowed you to ruin her," said Jim as he held Butler Fred against the ground.
