Charlotte endured the death of Rodney, and now even Cecelia, who was the best to her, had been killed by her own hand.
She felt simply so vulnerable now, and her spirit had long been on the verge of a total collapse.
It felt that Otis' question had put on the last straw on her heart.
Her two hands seemed to be burned, and she kept rubbing them hard. Her face turned so pale and she felt that the room was filled with an atmosphere of fear and anxiety, as if the end of the world was near.
Otis took one step closer to Charlotte.
That powerful hostility and irascibility, like a huge mountain, was towering above Charlotte.
"Tell me. Who the hell are you?!" Otis bellowed.
His scarlet eyes were filled with bloodthirsty fire, and he decided to shock and intimidate Charlotte into revealing herself!
Eugene saw the eerie and horrific atmosphere inside the room and withdrew sagely, closing the door behind him.
He didn’t want to know too many secrets. For him, it's just a matter of allegiance to Otis.
"I, I, I ..."
Charlotte was stammering, "I am Charlotte, I am the daughter of the Heath family ... And I am your wife ..."
She tugged at his coat in fear and anxiety, expecting him to stop pushing her.
Otis pushed her away in disgust and raised his hand and slapped her again.
"Bullshit! Bitch!"
Her terrified look even intensified his suspicions.
He decided to bluff her, "Just now I lied. Cecelia is not dead. She had an operation and is now awake. She told me everything, everything!"
"What!" Charlotte was completely bluffed.
As if a thunderbolt rang out above her head, her face turned so pale. She could no longer feel the pain of that slap. She was so scared that her legs trembled like sieve chaff.
