Rita was threatening her with her powerful statement. The ward was like experiencing a heavy storm.
But she stood still without any action, which scared Charlotte.
After Rita woke up from the fever, she was like another person.
In the past, Charlotte scorned her and considered her just a little smart but now she became her fatal enemy.
Charlotte tried her best to be less fear and pretended to be innocent, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I think, that your father is lying in the ward has nothing to do with me.”
Hearing her denial, Rita was not surprised, “Didn’t you plan to make my father and grandma attacked in the car accident?”
“Oh, how can you say that?” Charlotte became solemn suddenly, “Why me? Do you have any evidence?”Noticing her silence, Charlotte understood that Rita had no evidence.
‘So why is she so brave to look down upon me?’ Charlotte thought.
Charlotte stood straight with mockery, “Mind your word. Otherwise, I will sue you for defamation.”Charlotte slammed the door behind her and left.
Looking at the door, Rita smiled meaningfully.
She took out her phone and called someone, “Do you bring him here?”
“Yes. And he is guarded by us in the car according to your order.”
“Ok, bring him to me, please.” She said to Ted.
She hung up the phone and walked to the balcony.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she spotted Charlotte in a pink dress in the crowd.
At this moment, at the gate, Ted was pushing a man forward.
Charlotte was about to meet the man face to face, which pleased Rita who was smiling brightly. “What a good time.”
As she expected, those people walked past each other.
Casually, Charlotte looked at the stranger’s face, which frightened her and her face became whitened.
Not only she but also her father, Mason, was stunned.
“Charlotte… do you recognize him? The housekeeper is pushing Jack Nicholson to the hospital.”
“Yes.”
“Damn it. What we have done to the car is going to be revealed… I think we must escape right now.” Mason was anxious with a frightened face.
But Charlotte turned as calm as usual. She looked down upon her father, “Hold on. We should wait and see what will happen.”
“But…”
“We now go back home and try to figure out Rita’s conspiracy.”
Mason was going to say something but he was interrupted by Charlotte who dragged him out of the hospital.
They didn’t know that their reaction was witnessed by Rita.
Although she could not hear their conversation, their expression and response at the sight of the car mender of the automobile sales service shop was the evidence. She now believed that the car accident was arranged by Charlotte and Mason.
At the window, Rita narrowed her eyes coldly.
Meanwhile, the housekeeper with Jack arrived.
“Miss Brown.”
Rita simply nodded.
Rita hid her cruelty and smiled when turning back, “Thank you, Ted. I want to talk with Mr. Nicholson privately.”
“OK, you can call me at any time you want.”
Ted nodded and left.
The door was slightly closed by him.
Now Rita was left with Amelia who lost her mind, and the mender in the room.
The mender looked at the girl who was smiling, and trembled, “Miss Brown…what do you want me to do?”Staring at him, Rita was in silence.
Her speechlessness frightened him who was sweating.
What’s wrong?
