Chapter 463

"Zoey, tell me the truth. Did you purposely set this up? Did you... frame Lucille?" Boom! A clap of thunder was heard from outside the window. Zoey's face turned pale, and her tears began falling like rain. Her face was full of hurt and disappointment. "So, that's the kind of person you think I am, Charles?" Charles panicked and quickly reached out to wipe away her tears. "No, don't cry. I didn't mean that. I... I was just very confused. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to accuse you." Zoey's eyes were red, and her tears were like a broken pearl necklace. She did not say a word. She held the necklace that she had given to Charles a few years ago tightly in her hand as sobs clawed their way out of her throat. "Oh, it's all my fault. Don't cry." Charles was at a loss. He took the necklace from her hand, put it on, and said, "I promise you that I won't ask you questions like that again. I won't take off the necklace you gave me, okay?" Charles, who was only trying to comfort her, did not realize that the moment the necklace touched his skin, it flashed with a dark red light. The light entered his skin and disappeared in an instant. A heavy sense of exhaustion swept over him. He sat on the chair, his eyelids twitching. His body was on the verge of collapse and he was about to fall asleep. Zoey was expressionless. "You should go to bed, Charles." "Oh..." Charles got up in a daze and fell on the bed, snoring instantly. Zoey stood up slowly with an icy look in your eyes. Before she walked out of the room, she suddenly turned around and looked at Charles, who had already fallen asleep. Zoey's smile was gorgeous, and there was a cunning look in her eyes. "I can answer you now. I did frame Lucille, and I did isolate her in school. I did all of this." "So what?" "When you wake up from your sleep, you will only have me as your sister." "Even if I told you to die, you wouldn't blink." "Good night, Charles." Zoey closed the door with a grin. After returning to her room, Zoey sat in front of the makeup mirror, which reflected her beautiful and gloomy face. She had never expected Lucille to be so capable. She had merely participated in a live broadcast, yet she had managed to cause Charles' thoughts to waver right under Zoey's nose! Thinking of this, Zoey opened the locked drawer and took out the incomplete set of sapphire jewelry. "Your dowry, wasn't it? Lucille, oh, Lucille. Since it's yours, it's true that I should return it to its owner." Zoey's lips curled into a sinister smirk. "Fine. I'll return it to you. Whether you dare to accept it or not is up to you." ...... The next day, dark clouds covered the whole city. Lucille drove for nearly three hours and finally arrived at her destination. She looked to the roadside and saw Hendric holding a transparent umbrella and waving at her excitedly. "Here, over here!" Lucille drove the car over. Hendric put away his umbrella and got into the car. He said, "The weather is really bad today. There will probably be some heavy rain later. Oh, right. Drive straight forward and then turn right. My house is right there!" Lucille followed his instructions and asked casually, "Did you tell your grandfather about my visit today?"
