Charlotte 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 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.

Horror-stricken, she saw a pair of familiar eyes staring into hers just seconds before she was knocked

out.

Without saying a word, the person hit him harshly with the gun handle. Within moments, the person's

subordinates took Chris and Charlotte away.

speed.

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.
