Chapter 436
You Hit My Heart
A week ago, in the evening, Seaview's Restaurant.
Starless and moonless, the dull and almost suffocating darkness of the
night enveloped the whole place. The moisture of the night spread
everywhere, forming an eerie atmosphere.
At the end of the boulevard, Luther was attacked by Ricky and struck
from the back of his neck, and fell unconscious on the ground.
Charlotte was standing not far behind Luther; she was frightened by the
sudden incident. She did not have time to make a sound, and her
mouth had been covered tightly by a giant palm, and she could only
make a "woo" sound.
"Don't make a sound, it's me." Ricky leaned close to Charlotte's ear and
whispered, "Or people may notice.â
Charlotte smiled, and nodded repeatedly. It was Ricky, and she felt
much relieved.
Ricky then slowly let go of his hand.
Charlotte looked anxious and pointed at Luther, "God, what did you do
to him?"
âIt's just temporary.â Ricky stopped Charlotte with one arm to prevent
her from going forward to check Luther's injuries, "I've been waiting for
you outside the restaurant tonight, and just now I saw from afar, it
seems that you had an argument? I saw you crying and figured there
had been an accident, so I knocked him out."
"Yes, he knew everything. But what do we do now?" Charlotte said,
almost sobbing, and had no idea what she should do next. What was
the use of Ricky knocking Luther out? He would wake up and then they
still could not change the facts. Now that he attacked Luther, if he found
out what happened, they would all die!
"Don't worry, I've already checked the map of this restaurant, and there
is no surveillance here. I'll take him to the car first, and then you will tell
me what happened. We'll go this way, no surveillance the whole way,
and my car is parked at the entrance, just out of the way completely.â
Ricky said, walked up and put Luther on his back, and led Charlotte
down the path through the bushes all the way to one of the entrances
of Seaview's Restaurant.
He then opened the door of his Hummer and placed Luther in the back
seat while he and Charlotte sat in the front seat.
Closing the car door, isolated from the outside world, Ricky asked in a
gruff voice.
"Miss, what the hell is going on?"
Charlotte was so shocked that she cried helplessly, "It's over, it's all
over. He knows all about it! I can't marry into the Warner family
anymore. What should I do, Ricky, help me!"
She grabbed Ricky's arm hard, as if tugging at the last straw, "The most
critical thing is that he already knows about the two of us getting a
room, and he said he's going to call my mom and my grandfather
tomorrow to talk about it personally. It's over, it's all over, I'm done,
you're done too!"
"Don't rush." Ricky said calmly and reassuringly, âLet me think carefully
about what to do.â
Charlotte was exposed, and now his interests were also at steak. He
had a hard time getting close to the Heath family, and he thought he
would be promoted to the rank of a major one day. If he could keep
Charlotte around, it would happen sooner or later. He would never
allow such a chance to climb up to have such an early death.
At the same time, he also knew Luther was not just some ordinary man,
and he could by no means harm his life in broad daylight. If he really
killed him, he was afraid that they would not be able to get away with it.
"What else can I do?" Charlotte fell into despair, sobbing constantly.
She felt so frustrated that she had gotten neither the man nor the vast
fortune of the Warner family. Failure was around the corner and she
had nothing to do.
