Chapter 25: The Night I was Abandoned by You, I Made Love With Another Girl
Charlotte mmed up and said nothing as her mind reyed those moments she was abused violently
on the floor by Lawrence during those nights. Her body shrivelled up into a rigid state.
Sensing that she was tensing up, the man on top of her said, “Are you scared of me?”
After asking that, Lawrence suddenly let out augh, “You should be scared of me, of course. In this
world, there is no prostitute who isn’t afraid of her customer and debtor who isn’t afraid of debt
collectors!”
With a loud tearing sound, her shirt was instantly in pieces, and the man’s initially blurry and absent-
minded gaze suddenly took on a vicious bloodlust as he locked her neck in ce and started to
vehemently kiss her.
It was an understatement to call that a kiss. He even looked like he was gnawing off her lips.
“Charlotte.”
Perhaps he was really very drunk now, as he continued to tear her apart, he continued to ask, “It has
been five years, and since you have eloped with another man, why do you stille back to me? How
dare youe back to me?”
Charlotte was lifeless while she was pressed by his weight. Her face was a ghastly white colour.
Soon.
Very soon, as long as her father and brother returned safely, she would be able to tell him the entirety
of the truth.
“Say something!”
The man bellowed as his knees continued to dig into her. He was weighing down on her heavily, and it
seemed there would be no escape…
Suddenly, the impatient sound of a phone ringing broke his action.
Lawrence paused his movement for a second before picking up the phone. His voice immediately
became much mellower as he cooed, “Alice, what’s the matter?”
“Alright, I got it. I will be there in a minute.”
He hung up the phone while looking much sober now. After shooting a cold nce at Charlotte lying
underneath him, he got up and pushed away her body. He tidied up himself before turning around to
leave.
“Lawrence.”
Charlotte held her torn clothes in ce as she sat up. She sounded like she had to use a lot of force to
utter a single word.
“I am just specting. If that incident never happened, and if everything is nothing but fake, will we be
able to go back to how we used to be?”
Lawrence froze for second before he beganughing coldly.
“Charlotte, don’t you think you’re a little too na?ve?”
He slowly turned around and looked at Charlotte with squinted, smiling eyes, but within those pupils it
was utterly cold.
“I think you don’t know about a certain something. During the night you were abandoned, I have slept
with a girl. A virgin who was clean.”
Charlotte felt her breathing stop, and her whole body started to writhe in agony.
She recalled that fearful night five years ago when she was being sat on by an unknown man who had
stolen away her virginity violently.
The thought that while she was suffering from such pain and he was sleeping and rolling bed sheets
with another woman never urred to her.
That was really the best form of revenge.
When he saw her pale face, Lawrence smiled with satisfaction.
“Charlotte, even if you are still clean, the moment I have slept with someone else, I have ceased to love
you. There is no turning back for us anymore.”

Charlotte had nightmares the whole night.
She couldn’t recall how she had returned to her condominium and fallen asleep. By the time she woke
up, her head was throbbing with an immense pain.
When she remembered Lawrence’s wordsst night, her whole body was froze on the bed for some
time. Only after that she got up to wash herself.
The moment she got off her bed, her phone suddenly rang.
When she saw a memo being disyed on the screen, Charlotte felt her breath catch in her airways.
Her senses suddenly became sharp without warning.
“How’s the progress? Is there any news about my father and brother?”
The man at the other end of the phone stayed silent for a moment before answering in a low voice, “I
have found them, and they are now in City B. Despite that, things are kind ofplicated, so I can’t get
them out of there immediately. Strangely, I have a feeling that I’m being tailed by someone.”
“If that’s the case, wait me at the usual spot. After shrugging off the pursuer, I wille to you and tell
you everything personally.”
Charlotte’s hand which was holding her phone couldn’t stop shaking, and only after a while, she blurted
out a reply, “Alright…”
Finally, there was news.
Her father and brother were in City B.
She only needed to meet the detective, then what came after this…
Bang!
There was a loud crashing sounding from the other end of the phone, and the sudden noise
caused Charlotte’s hand to shiver violently.
The next second, she abruptly lifted her head and called out, “Detective?”
“Hello? Are you still there, sir? Are you listening? Say something!”
