Chapter 160

Charlotte gently patted her back and said reassuringly, “It's okay. He

said he would marry me, he won't go back on his word.” When she said

this, she actually didn't believe it much herself.

Shelly sat up straight and pulled a thick stack of tissues to wipe her

tears.

She suddenly became fierce and vicious, her features twisted, her eyes

full of resentment, “It's all Grandma's fault, luring the wolf into the

house. She just insisted that Joyce live in the family. That bitch would

just have to go after Grandma dies. Just why? she should have long

been dead!”

She wasn't really close to her grandmother Stephanie when she grew

up. But usually when they got along, even if she was not quite satisfied

with her grandma, she would not go so far as to curse her grandmother.

Today, she was really occupied with anger and shame and she could

not think properly.

When Charlotte heard that, she hurriedly covered Shelly's mouth, "That

must not be said! In case someone hears you."

Shelly grabbed her clothes and lost control, “There's no one else here

but you and me! I have to say, Grandma is already in the terminal stage

of lung cancer, and the doctor clearly said that she had at most a month

to live, but now it has been almost three months. A few days ago, she

was told to start preparing for the funeral, but I see that she is in better

spirits these two days! I really don't know when she will die."

Charlotte did not answer. When she looked at Shelly, it was as if the girl

in front of her was not the Shelly she knew. How could Shelly be this

crazy?

Shelly's words seemed to suddenly wake her up.

At this moment, she thought of something.

Surprisingly, she should have such evil thoughts.

Joyce and Luther's fake marriage was all for Stephanie. As soon as

Stephanie died, Joyce had no reason to stay in the Warner family and

would definitely be thrown out of the Warner family. As long as Joyce

left the Warner family, Luther could slowly stay away from Joyce. This

was the most direct and effective way, how come she did not think of it?

Stephanie was already half in the coffin, what's the harm if she just died

a few days earlier?

Just stay out of her way from now on!

Her heart was beating wildly at the thought.

What's the best way to get Stephanie to die sooner and without anyone

noticing?

She had waited too long and really didn't want to wait any longer.

Each additional day she waited, her risk increased, and Luther and

Joyce's feelings increased. She couldn't help but clench her fist, and

when she released it, she realized her hands were sweaty.

Things were not simple and required a better plan, as well as a

scapegoat. She was not brainless like Shelly, and she would not blindly

strike without any preparation and got easily exposed. Even if Joyce did

not turn on the night vision surveillance, Casey also found the security

guard who made a deal with Shelly in private, and they just needed to

ask him to get the truth. It was simply stupid.

When she saw how Charlotte had been lost in her thought for a long

time, Shelly asked, "Charlotte, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Charlotte was slightly alarmed. Just to cover up her

emotions, she hurriedly turned around and helped Shelly with a new ice

pack. While she put it on Shelly's cheek, she advised, "Don't be

ridiculous. After all, she’s your grandma. It's good if she could live

another day."

"Hey, just now it was not me. No matter what, Grandma is still my

family. It's just that Joyce is too annoying, how on earth can I bring her

down." Shelly had already stopped her tears and said in anger.

Charlotte hurriedly cleaned up the tissues that were thrown everywhere

on the floor.

That's when Jacqueline finally came back.
