Chapter 273
Chapter 273
The next morning, the rain stopped.
I stood in front of the window on the second floor and opened it. The smell of the wet soil came into my nose, and the asphalt street outside was washed clean by the rain.
I couldn't help but want to go out for a walk.
I cleaned up and got changed. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Gina and Jeremy sitting at the door of my house!
When I opened the door, the two of them stood up.
Gina even wanted to walk inside without my permission.
"What are you doing?" I put both my hands on the door to block them.
Gina looked at me and said with a smile, "Charlotte, have you had breakfast? We brought you breakfast. It's cold out there. Let's go in."
I saw a plastic bag in her hand. There was a bowl in it.
There seemed to be some thin porridge in the bowl, from which a lot had already been spilled out.
"I've told you that I'm not your daughter. I'll call the police if you keep acting like this!"
I just wanted to go out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet them.
I didn't bring my cell phone with me.
Even so, I still put my hand into my pocket as if I was going to grab my cell phone.
Gina fell for it and quickly grabbed my hand. "Don't do that, Charlotte. We are just afraid that you are hungry. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and you know nothing about cooking. We have no idea whether you eat well, or if you will miss my cooking..."
I almost threw up at her words.
"She was afraid that I would be hungry? I missed her cooking?"
If it weren't because I didn't want to admit that I was Charlotte, which would land myself into entanglement with them, I really wanted to curse.
I shook off her hand and took a step back, saying, "I'm not Charlotte."
After that, I was ready to enter the room and close the door.
However, just as I was about to close the door, Gina and Jeremy exchanged a look.
Gina threw the bowl in her hand, and the two of
them rushed in together!
"What are you doing!"
I didn't expect that they would force their way in.
But soon I felt that I was too naive because overly poor people like them were capable of anything! Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
The two of them pounced on me and directly threw me to the ground!
As such, they both went into my house.
Jeremy got up first and went to close the door.
Gina looked my studio up and down, showing a grim smile. "Charlotte, you killed Caroline but live in such a magnificent house. Who do you think you are!"
When there was no one around, she showed her true colors in a second!
As expected, they were afraid of Shelton yesterday.
"I'm not Charlotte. Please go out."
I rose to my feet as I spoke, trying to figure out a way to get my cell phone upstairs.
"You're still denying!" My denial directly angered Gina. She looked at me, fished her phone out of her pocket, found a photo, and said to me, "Someone told me earlier that you were going back to City Y! We've been waiting for you for five whole years!"
As she spoke, she walked toward me step by step, and the photo was getting closer and closer.
At the sight of the photo, I couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The suit in the photo was the one I wore the day I arrived in City Y. In other words, someone knew my whereabouts like the back of his hand.
And he reported it to Jeremy and Gina.
"Who gave you the photo?" I stared at Gina and asked her.
As Gina noticed that I was nervous, she smiled proudly and said, "Why should I tell you?"
"If you give us the suite in City YNo.1, well tell you." Jeremy stood behind Gina for quiet a while.
He was waiting for this moment to say this sentence.
I was not surprised because I already knew what they were up to. I stepped back and sat on the chair at the desk, saying, "Impossible. That's what my grandma left for me. I won't give it to anyone."
"You won't give it to anyone?" Gina walked toward me step by step. Suddenly, she grabbed my neck with both hands!
"What are you doing!"
I was scared out of my wits! I tried to free myself from her grip with my hands.
However, Gina seemed to have a terrifying amount of strength because she had done a lot of physical work in the past few years!
Her hands were rough, and she clutched at my neck. I felt an obvious sense of friction.
Her long and sharp fingernails penetrated into my flesh.
Gina looked at me ferociously, and behind her, Jeremy was also wearing an expression that was filled with hatred.
I knew it!
How could these two people care about family affection!
"What am I doing?" Gina said with a ferocious look, "Don't think that we don't know that your life belongs to Caroline! You were the one who should die instead of her!"
"What are you talking about?"
"What am I talking about? You b*tch! That day on the ship, you should be the one who died! It was you who pushed Caroline into the sea of fire! Otherwise, she wouldn't have died! You should have
been the dead one!"
The more Gina spoke, the more terrifying her expression became.
Her eyes were wide open, and she exerted more strength on her grip.
However, she obviously didn't want to kill me. She just tried to scare me in an attempt to make me give them the suite.
I was almost strangled to death by Patrick once. It was no big deal for me!
But how did they know about what was happening on the ship?
At that time...
"Are you still in touch with Roger?" I looked at Gina and was not frightened at all.
Hearing this name, Gina was apparently surprised, and the ferocious expression on her face froze. Then she said, "Who is it? I don't know him."
"The only one who knows about it is him. Even if you came into contact with him recently, you should know that he's not a good guy, right? Making a deal with him, you are walking on the edge of a knife!"
As I said these words word by word, Gina loosened her grip as if I had seen through what was on her mind.
In the end, she completely put her hands down.
There was even fear on her face.
It seemed that Roger really did something.
Compared with Gina, Jeremy was very sober and said directly, "Don't talk nonsense. Transfer the ownership of the suite to us quickly! Otherwise, we'll kill you since we are living such a miserable life now and will die sooner or later!"
Haha.
I knew that money was the most important in their eyes.
"Well, then kill me. Anyway, I don't want to live since I have parents like you."
It occurred to me that Shelton said that he would pick me up at noon.
It was now eight o'clock in the morning.
If I could hold them off a little longer, I might make it to Shelton's arrival...
Seeing me like this, Jeremy was anxious. "Okay. Then well kill you!"
As he spoke, he scooped up a chair next to him and threw it at me.
I dodged and looked at him coldly. "Jeremy, do you think I'm still the same old me? The old me who didn't fight back no matter how you beat and scolded me?"
As I looked at the chair, I thought of what had happened eight years ago.
That day, I returned to my parents' home on the third day of the wedding with Patrick.
Jeremy had used a chair to beat me like what he did today.
The blows made me almost unable to stand up.
Thinking of this, I picked up the chair and walked towards Jeremy.
He thought that I was going to hit him, so he couldn't help but take a few steps back. "Tell you what, I am your father. It's the worst offense if you do this to me!"
"Is that so?" I walked up to him and looked at him. "So, Father, may I ask what have you done to deserve the address?"
"I..."
When Jeremy was hesitating, I saw him looking behind me.
And then, a look of terror appeared on his face!
Just as I was about to turn around...
The back of my waist hurt!
