"She doesn't understand what I mean. But you know too well. Dominic, don't you understand? I don't
love you! I only love Xander. If I hadn't been drunk and mistaken you for Xander, I wouldn't have had
sex with you and given birth to Viola! What did I tell you? I said that I don’t want her, and I can't love
her. But you said that you didn’t care. You would educate her property. This was how you discipline
your kid! Your daughter killed mine!”
Audrey was crazy.
She was hurting her family, especially Viola.
She was Viola's mother, so she couldn't avenge Nicole's death. But she couldn't let Viola get away with
it.
Nicole was her daughter!
Poor child!
She had been sent away when she was little and had never come back. Now that Viola contributed to
her death, how could Audrey remain calm?
Audrey was kind enough not to kill Viola. Did Dominic expect her to tolerate Viola?
For so many years, she didn't point a finger at Dominic’s education just to protect Viola's feelings. Viola
called her mom, which she accepted. However, she never expected that Viola grew up to be such a
vicious woman.
Hearing that, Dominic tried to say something but failed.
He had always known that Audrey loved a man. When the man died, she wasn't able to love anyone
else. But Dominic did not know they had a child.
Now, this child had been killed indirectly by Viola.
What should he do?
Viola could not bear it.
She had always felt that Audrey was cold and indifferent to her, but she didn’t know why. Now she
understood. But she wished she had never known it.
No wonder Audrey treated Nicole so well. No wonder she would cook for her and let her do anything
she wanted. No wonder Nicole could stay in the villa.
It turned out that Nicole was her favorite, the child of her and her beloved man!
Viola could not accept it.
“She deserves it! She deserves to die! Why did you treat her so well? Why do you turn a blind eye to
me? I have been by your side for more than twenty years! She's your daughter. I am, too. Why do you
always ignore me? Mom, how can you treat me like this?"
"Get lost!"
Audrey refused to talk to her.
Viola wanted to say something, but was dragged out by Dominic.
"Dad, let go. Mom, this is not fair! It’s not fair!"
"Stop. Stop yelling!"
Dominic slapped Viola in the face.
This was the first time that he had hit Viola.
Viola was stunned.
"Dad, you too?"
"You deserve much more serious punishment than a slap. You know about Nicole's situation and her
relationship with Allen. Why did you do that?"
“What did I do? I hate her! I just hate her! Why did she have all the attention of mom the moment she
appeared? Why is the man I like her husband? Why? I didn’t do anything serious! Allen likes her and
won't harm her. Even in the worst case, they would just have sex. It's not that she's still a virgin. So
what's the matter? How could I know Allen would kill her?”
Viola shouted.
Hearing that, Audrey couldn't stand it anymore.
She opened the door and stared at Viola who was standing outside. Audrey said, "How can you say
that? Don't you think it’s not a big deal even if married women are raped? You don't know love at all.
You only know how to snatch things from others. You never see your own weakness. You always blame
others for your own fault. Viola, you really disappoint me. From now on, you are not allowed to enter
the villa. Don't you understand?"
Charlotte tried to snatch the bottle, but was dodged by Allen.
“Leave me alone!”
"I'm caring about you. Allen, stop drinking! Even if you drink yourself to death, Nicole won't return!”
What Charlotte said hurt Allen.
“Nonsense! She's not dead! She's standing there. Look, she is standing there and smiling at me.”
Allen pointed at the French window and giggled.
Charlotte turned around and didn't see anyone. It was his illusion.
"Enough! Allen, can you stop it? She's dead! I did it! I knocked you out and took her away!"
Allen's face darkened.
"What are you talking about?"
"I said I drove the car into the sea. I wanted her to die. She can't live! She's the doom for you! Look at
you now! If you continue to be so obsessed with her, your whole family will be doomed! Do you know
that?"
Allen throttled Charlotte, his eyes filled with anger.
“Who the hell are you? Why did you do this? Whom I like has nothing to do with you! Charlotte, how
could you do that? How dared you attack me and murder Nicole!”
"I'm not that important to you, but I love you! Allen, did you ever think about how I felt when all you
could see was Nicole? You promised me that as long as I saved her, you would give me anything I
wanted. But I want you. I want to marry you. Did you fulfill your promise? Allen, this is the way things
are. She blocked my way, and attracted all your attention. She deserved to
die!”
"It's you who should die!"
Allen's grip tightened.
Charlotte struggled.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. She cried and said, "I did it because I love you. Do people in one-way
relationships deserve to be treated this way? If so, you should not blame Nicole for not loving you back.
Allen, we are the same. When we fall in love, we will get the person we want at all costs. We are both
persistent and desperate. Even if you strangle me to death, Nicole
won't be back! She won't! The cliff is so steep and the water is so cold. And she was unconscious then.
Do you think she could escape? Nicole is dead! She's dead!”
Allen suddenly let go.
"Is Nicole dead?"
"Yeah! She is!”
Charlotte did not feel relieved when she was able to breathe. Instead, she felt distressed.
Allen seemed to have lost his mind, which was completely different from what she had expected.
"Go away! I don't want to see you again!”
Allen said coldly, no longer looking at her.
Charlotte, however, was unable to accept such an outcome.
"No! I'm not leaving! Allen, let me be with you. It doesn't matter whether we get married or not. I can
accept it even if you treat me as a substitute for her. Don't drive me away, please.”
Charlotte hugged him tightly.
Allen said indifferently, "You can’t even hold a candle to her. How can you be her substitute? No one
could replace her! No one! My heart died with her. Charlotte, just because I don't kill you doesn’t mean
I have feelings for you. I just don't want to make another mistake. Now, before I change my mind, you'd
better get lost. Otherwise, there won't be a place for you in
America.”
Charlotte froze.
"Why? Why don't you like me? What's wrong with me? I can be better.”
"Go away!"
Allen pushed her out and closed the door fiercely.
Charlotte knocked on the door, shouting and crying. But Allen ignored her.
What was wrong with her?
She was fine. But she was not Nicole.
So why didn't Nicole love him?
It was not because he wasn't good enough. It was just because she didn't have feelings for him.
Allen seemed to have figured it out, but the price was Nicole's life, which was too heavy.
Allen locked himself up in his office again. He didn’t want to see anyone.
Charlotte was taken away. But no one noticed that someone saw all of this and left the company.
