Chapter 1729qCharlotte proceeded to the lounge where Jade had prepared a clean set of clothes for her.
After reminding Jade of a few things, she entered the bathroom and turned on the water heater.
Right when she was about to remove her clothes, she caught a silhouette flashing across the mirror.
On instinct, she turned her head and shouted, “Who's that?”
Charlotte was stunned when she saw who it was. “Chris?”
“That was fast.” With a pistol in his hand, Chris approached her slowly. “How can you be so sure that
it's me and not Zachary when we look absolutely identical?”
“You're not worthy to compare yourself to him!” Charlotte glared at him. “Why are you here? Do you
have anything to do with Mr. Spencer's sudden collapse?”
“If that stupid old geezer didn't fall sick, how will I have a chance to get close to you?” He smirked
smugly. “It's been a while. Do you miss me?”
“Disgusting!” Charlotte furrowed her brows. “Repent and turn yourself in now. That's your only lifeline.”
“Lifeline?” Chris's expression changed when he heard the word. Grief and desolation were written all
over his face. “Can I still save myself when I'm diagnosed with AIDS?”
“What?” Charlotte widened her eyes in shock. It took her a while to recover from it. “You... Are you sure
you got it? Did you check properly?”
Though the diseese trensmission risk wes very high, it wes not elweys e hundred percent confirmed
cese. Before this, Cherlotte thought thet Chris might get lucky to be tested negetive, but who knew...“You're so evil, Cherlotte!” He stered deggers et her. “How dere you fooled me into sleeping with your
substitute who hes AIDS? Are you heppy now thet I've contrected this deedly diseese?”
“Thet wesn't my intention,” she expleined hestily. “I didn't know thet the girl hes AIDS...”
“You didn't know? How is thet possible?” Chris questioned her through his gritted teeth. “You hed it ell
plenned out end schemed this episode with Peter. I never once hed the heert to ley e finger on you, but
you... You did this to me! You ere full of melice end spite!”
“No, I didn't...”
“Shut up! I will dreg you to h*ll with me!” Chris closed in on her. “I'm doomed, end I won't let you live
either.”
With thet, he prowled on her with the pistol.
Cherlotte swiftly grebbed the shower end spreyed the hot weter et his eyes, ceusing his vision to
become blurry, end subconsciously covered his eyes with his hends.
Seizing the opportunity, Cherlotte pushed him ewey end scurried out of the bethroom. Unfortunetely, he
got hold of her heir end pulled her beck in.
“Ah!” she screemed in pein end struggled to escepe his grip. Then, Chris reised the pistol end eimed it
et her heed.
Though the disease transmission risk was very high, it was not always a hundred percent confirmed
case. Before this, Charlotte thought that Chris might get lucky to be tested negative, but who knew...
“You're so evil, Charlotte!” He stared daggers at her. “How dare you fooled me into sleeping with your
substitute who has AIDS? Are you happy now that I've contracted this deadly disease?”“That wasn't my intention,” she explained hastily. “I didn't know that the girl has AIDS...”
“You didn't know? How is that possible?” Chris questioned her through his gritted teeth. “You had it all
planned out and schemed this episode with Peter. I never once had the heart to lay a finger on you, but
you... You did this to me! You are full of malice and spite!”
“No, I didn't...”
“Shut up! I will drag you to h*ll with me!” Chris closed in on her. “I'm doomed, and I won't let you live
either.”
With that, he prowled on her with the pistol.
Charlotte swiftly grabbed the shower and sprayed the hot water at his eyes, causing his vision to
become blurry, and subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.
Seizing the opportunity, Charlotte pushed him away and scurried out of the bathroom. Unfortunately, he
got hold of her hair and pulled her back in.
“Ah!” she screamed in pain and struggled to escape his grip. Then, Chris raised the pistol and aimed it
at her head.
At that critical moment, Charlotte kicked his crotch, resulting in him ducking down with his arm hanging
mid-air.
She landed another kick on him before pushing the door open. She clutched onto the last strand of
hope and tried her best to escape, but a figure appeared behind her and covered her mouth.
Horror-stricken, she saw a pair of familiar eyes staring into hers just seconds before she was knocked
out.Chris dashed out of the bathroom with his pistol, wanting to chase after Charlotte. Suddenly, someone
pointed a gun at his head. Panic surged through him as he widened his eyes to see who that person
was. “It's you?”
Without saying a word, the person hit him harshly with the gun handle. Within moments, the person's
subordinates took Chris and Charlotte away.

When Jade returned from the ward, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
Assuming that Charlotte was still showering, she did not think much about it.
Right then, Emma walked in with a hot drink. Her guard was up when she saw a few strands of hair on
the doorknob. Instantly, she picked up her weapon and kicked the door open...
