Therefore…
This woman had not been lying to her after aft
Tears slid silently down Bonnie’s cheek.
She bit her lip and stared at the woman before her, but she could not utter a single word. What else was
she supposed to say’
it turned out the passionate, loving relationship sire had thought she had was nothing but a joke.
Not only was she not Jim’s one true love, but it turned out she had been the third wheel all this while.
Seeing the glimmer in Bonnie’s eyes fade, Charlotte emit(‘ not help smiling even wider. She stood up and
said, “I think you probably know what I’m doing now, even though you had only invited him.
“Well, Jim was the one who wanted me to come He wanted me to tell you the truth so that you won’t
bother him again in the future ”
With that, she glanced at Bonnie’s wet, bloodstained clothes and sighed ‘Actually, I’m a kind person, and
i t I were to come across a sad, injured woman like you, I would’ve helped you.
“However, you were the third wheel in my relationship, and I think it’s mighty courteous of me not to beat
you up already. .
“The rain is getting heavier now, so I hope you find your way out of this.”
With that, she turned and strode away, her heels click-clacking on the pavement.
Bonnie clutched her stomach and slumped to the ground.
When Charlotte returned to the car, Bonnie’s body had already slumped onto the ground, motionless.
She curled her lips into a smirk and ordered, “Bring me back to Landry Mansion.”
The driver glanced at the woman lying on the ground and could not help frowning. “Are you going to
leave her like this, Ms. Jacobs?”
Even though it was almost summertime and not that hot outside, this woman was injured with no one in
sight to help her.
Even if she survived this pouring rain, she would probably die of blood loss if no one were to help her,
would she not?
Charlotte glanced coldly at the driver. “This is her house, and the building behind her belongs to her. Do
you honestly think she’ll stay out in the pouring rain and not take cover?”
With that, she closed her eyes, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and added curtly, “If you have so
much time to care about other people, why don’t you start caring about yourself, and whether you’ll be
fired for sticking your nose into other people’s business?”
The color drained from the driver’s face. “I’m sorry, Ms. Jacobs.”
With that, he started the car.
Just as they were about to leave, he could not help glancing at Bonnie through the rearview mirror once
more.
Charlotte was right. The woman was lying right in front of her house, and she would be able to take
Shelter from the rain if she were to go inside her house, but…
Judging from how much she was bleeding…she probably could not even get up.
The driver stepped on the gas as soon as he thought of this.
As long as he kept his eye on the road and did not look at the injured woman, he would be spared from
his guilty conscience.
The downpour grew heavier.
Bonnie laid on the ground, one hand clutching her bleeding wound while the other grabbed hold of the
grass as she tried to pull herself back to the house.
She could not die here.
There was a landline inside Tea Cottage.
Just as she had crawled a few steps closer to the house, she suddenly felt the rain stop. She furrowed
her brows and turned around.
Behind her, a man dressed in black was holding an umbrella above her head, staring at her from his
great height.
Bonnie’s vision blurred immediately.
Was she hallucinating?
Had Jim not left after telling his fiancée to warn her to stay away from him?
Why did he come back?
