You Hit My Heart
Chapter 192

Charlotte repeatedly paced across the empty Heath residence byherself.

Cecelia and Rodney both left Khebury this morning for the Capital forsome business.

She was the only one in the empty house.

Ricky sent her back to the house in the afternoon, and then went out onhis own to do some work and to get some information, and had notreturned.

She drifted off to sleep for a while and woke up to replace it was almostdark, and her whole body was covered in cold sweat, like she had justbeen fished out of the water. Perhaps she had a terrible nightmare justnow, her heart was now full of fear and she started to get restless.

She got up and went to the bathroom to put on hot water to take a bath.She wanted to relax her body, but the more she washed, the moresuffocating she felt, and she could hardly breathe. She could onlychange into a bathrobe and hurriedly get out of the tub.

At this point, it was all dark outside, and the endless darkness of thenight seemed to have completely enveloped the surrounding area.

She took a few bites of noodles for dinner and lost her appetite.Feeling unease, she threw all the clothes she had worn today into thewashing machine.

She wanted to clean all the traces associated with Stephanie.

As she watched the washing machine go round and round, her heartseemed to shake up and down with it. She watched for a long time, souncomfortable that she felt like throwing up.

Today she killed someone. She actually killed someone with her ownhands!

She had actually killed someone! As much as she wanted Stephanie todie before! Because Stephanie got in her way, one more day of life shegot, and the engagement between her and Luther could be dragged onand on.

At the time she did it, she was nervous, but she did not hesitate, andeven to the end, she had a different sense of excitement. She admiredStephanie's helplessness and despair, anger and pain before she died,and it was such a relief for her to watch Stephanie die knowing the truthbut unable to do anything about it!

But by now, when the endless darkness fell, she began to be afraid.The wind was blowing outside and the leaves were rustling, making hereven more scared and her heart pounding.

And at that moment, the door of the house was suddenly opened.

With this a gush of cold wind blowed into the room, and Charlotte couldnot help but shiver a bit.

Charlotte was startled at first and instinctively took two stepsbackwards, nearly hitting the wall behind her. When she saw that it wasRicky who had returned, she immediately ran forward.

"What took you so long to get back? It's so late." Charlotte snapped.Ricky locked the door behind him and turned off the safety lock so thatno one could open it from the outside. He wrapped an arm aroundCharlotte and led her to the living room sofa and sat down.

"How did it go? Did it go well?" Charlotte forgot that she had beenwearing a bathrobe all this time. The loose belt hung in the middle, butit was far from enough to keep what was inside from Ricky's sight,revealing a large area of her snow-white skin. Her hair had been leftlong, and at the moment it was dripping wet and hanging over herchest, adding to it a bit of femininity.

"Don't worry, I'm here, it's all taken care of. Everything's fine." Ricky satdown next to her, the sight in front of him was so enticing that hecouldn't help but gulp as his throat rolled.

"Is Stephanie really dead?" Charlotte was a little unsure. After all,Stephanie was still alive when she left.

"Of course! Stephanie died around 4:00, as I expected, and Joycereturned to the Warner family around 4:30, making her the mostsuspicious person. Then Jacqueline and Shelly were lured to theWarner family by me, and after that the police all arrived, andeverything went as smoothly as could be expected.” Ricky recounted."Jacqueline really seized this opportunity to try to screw Joyce, and sheshould have used her connections at the top.” He raised his hand andlooked at his watch, "Just half an hour before I came back, the arrestwarrant from the prosecutor's office has been approved, and Joyce hasbeen sent to the detention center for now."
