Chapter 245
Hearing Charles try to protect the person responsible for Charlie’s death right at Charlie’s grave, Evelyn suddenly broke down, screaming at the top of her lungs.
“Charles, get out of here, as far away as possible!”
Her heart was filled with rage, yet she felt utterly powerless, drowning in despair. Seeing Evelyn cornered and emotionally shattered, Charles couldn’t bear to leave her alone. He held Evelyn tightly in his arms, letting her struggle against him, refusing to let go.
He turned to Dahlia, who was standing behind him, his voice heavy with disapproval. “Dahlia, just go home.”
He regretted ever giving in. “Charles…” Dahlia wasn’t done stirring the pot and had no intention of leaving. But the look Charles gave her was one of silent reprimand, making it clear she had crossed a line. She shouldn’t have ignored him and shown up here uninvited, causing such a scene and disturbing the peace.
Fuming but hiding it well, Dahlia put on a pitiful expression and said softly, “Alright, I’ll head back home. Charles, you also need to look after yourself. The doctor said you need proper rest for your legs and head, or there could be lasting effects.”
“Mhm,” Charles responded, barely acknowledging her concern. His mind was solely on Evelyn.
With no reason to linger, Dahlia turned to leave. But she didn’t expect to bump into the last person she wanted to see – Rosa.
Their eyes met across a short distance, and the malice in Rosa’s gaze sent a shiver down Dahlia’s spine. She wasn’t afraid of Evelyn, but Rosa was a whole
different story.
“Charles…” Dahlia instinctively called out to him.
Charles’ voice turned even colder. “Go.”
“Think you can just leave? Not so fast!”
Rosa’s commanding voice cut through the air, She’d already heard Evelyn’s account of how Dahlia was behind Charlie’s death. Even without concrete proof, she believed in Evelyn Evelyn wouldn’t accusez Dahlia without reason. Dahlia, that vile woman, had the nerve to come to Charlie’s grave to show off,
provoking Evelyn and disrespecting Charlie. Her actions were
unforgivable.
It was almost convenient for Dahlia to come here herself, saving Rosa the trouble
of dragging her here.
Charles and Evelyn were both stunned as their gazes locked on Rosa.
“Rosa…” Evelyn’s eyes filled with tears, her voice breaking.
“Eve, I’m here,” Rosa said, her words causing Evelyn’s tears to fall freely.
Tony supported Rosa as she
climbed the last few steps. Once steady, she gave Evelyn a reassuring look before her expression
hardened. She coldly instructed the bodyguard behind her, “Hold her.”
QUMS
The bodyguard moved forward immediately. Terrified, Dahlia backed away,
running towards Charles, pleading, “Charles, save me!”
She couldn’t let Rosa catch her. But she wasn’t quick enough. The bodyguard had her in a flash, forcing her down on her knees in front of Charlie’s tombstone.
“Grandma!” Charles immediately released Evelyn, showing his unwavering support for Dahlia. He clearly disapproved of Rosa’s actions and rushed forward to intervene. “Let Dahlia go!”
But Rosa was prepared for this. She had brought her own people, including more than a dozen bodyguards, specifically to thwart any of Charles’ attempts to protect Dahlia. Today, she was determined to punish Dahlia at Charlie’s grave and bring peace to Charlie’s spirit above!
