Chapter 116


    Back then, Caroline framed me, saying that I pushed her down the mountain. At that time, Stanley


    came to me and said that I needed to help her make some changes to somewhere in her wedding


    room.


    After I went there, I met Caroline.


    Later, Caroline disappeared. And Stanley didn''t testify for me. So I didn''t have anyone to prove my


    innocence...


    Thinking of this, I couldn''t help but feel a little nervous.


    The policeman didn''t seem to notice my abnormality. He nodded and said, "Then you should call


    them. It''s better for them to exin face to face."


    "Okay."


    As I said, I took out my cell phone.


    But just as I was about to dial, my hands shook. "Bang!" My cell phone fell to the ground.


    I didn''t notice that when I recalled what had happened a few years ago, my palms were sweating.


    I quickly wiped my palms with my clothes


    and lowered my head to pick up my cell phone.


    The police asked me, "What''s wrong?"


    The police asked me.


    "I''m fine." I shook my head. Then I got the phone number of Ralph and Serena from the phonebook.


    After staring at my cell phone for a while, I finally decided to call Ralph.


    I pressed the dial button.


    The standby tone started to ring over the phone.


    At this time, my heart was pounding. I was afraid that something might go wrong again.


    I waited over the phone for a minute. But no one answered my call.


    I was a little flustered instantly.


    Then I called Serena again.


    It was still the same. No one answered my call!


    I said excitedly, "I, I, I..." I was in a panic in my heart, "They indeed picked me up and drove me to


    the western restaurant. And they came to pick me up in the residential quarter. Surveince video is


    avable in my residential quarter. You surely can get something based on the videos!"


    The police, who acted like he was getting business done previously, looked at me with some doubts


    in his eyes.


    I knew that the more I acted like this, the more suspicious I would be.


    Even so, it was unknown wht I couldn''t control myself at all.


    I even began to predict the worst ending in my heart, guessing whether I had been set up by


    Caroline again.


    The policeman looked at me and finally said, "Anyway, since you can''t get in touch with them, you


    can go to the police station with us first."


    "No!"


    I shouted out loud!


    I didn''t want to go to the police station!


    I was afraid that I couldn''t get out if I went there.


    The police said, "It''s not up to you. Based on your current mood, we can detain you on valid


    grounds!"


    Indeed, right now, while making a phone call, I was already in such a panic.


    If I weren''t a suspect, the outsiders probably wouldn''t believe it.


    The colleagues who were watching the fun around me were still there. They were whispering as if


    they were sure that I had done something illegal.


    When I was desperate...


    "I can follow behind you as if I were a shadow chasing after the light in a daze..."


    The ringtone of my cell phone rang!


    I lowered my head and saw that the caller ID on it was Serena Harper!


    It was as if I had got a life-saving straw. I hurried up and answered the call.


    "Sorry, Designer Charlotte, my husband and I were selecting materials just now. So we didn''t notice


    that you were calling us."


    As soon as the phone was connected, Serena immediately apologized to me.


    At that time, I was so excited that I felt that my heart was about to melt. And I said, "It''s okay." Then


    I began to tell her about the police''s request.


    Hearing this, Serena agreed without saying anything else.


    In less than 40 minutes, she and Ralph arrived in a car.


    After getting out of the car, the two of them were very cooperative, exining the situation back


    then to the police.


    The policeman listened to their words and made a record. After getting the record done, he looked


    at me with some confusion, "Didn''t you have a witness? Why were you so nervous?"


    "I was framed by someone before. So I was very nervous this time."


    I smiled faintly.


    Serena and Ralph were willing to testify for me. So I was relieved. And I didn''t look nervous


    anymore.


    When I was about to leave, the police told me something about Caroline, that was, she had been


    found probably in the middle ofst night. But her situation was not very good.


    "Isn''t her situation very good?"


    "Her child probably was gone."


    That was what I was guessing


    Even so, it was none of my business.


    After the police left, Serena asked me about some things about the design of their restaurant.


    Because she helped me just now. I also trusted her very much. Consequently, I responded readily


    to whatever she asked and helped them do some changes to the 3D effect picture.


    I went home by car and bought something in the supermarket. When I was cooking at home, I


    couldn''t help thinking about Caroline''s matter.


    If Caroline had an ident and the real mastermind behind the scene wasn''t found, she surely


    would put the me on me.


    As expected...


    Before I could finish cooking my meal, my cell phone rang. And it was a call from a strange number.


    My first reaction was that the call should be from my client. So I picked it up without deliberation.


    Unexpectedly, the moment I picked the call up, Gina''s hysterical voice came over the phone,


    "Charlotte Archer! You''re going to die a terrible death! You don''t have any conscience at all. And yet


    you''re harming Caroline like this! I''m going to kill you!"


    I listened to her words for a while without any expression on my face and hung up the phone.


    Then, I cklisted the number.


    I had already cklisted Gina''s and Jeremy''s phone number. So their calls couldn''te in at all.


    Now, to scold me, Gina used a new number.


    It seemed that what had happened to


    Caroline was serious this time.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Even so, in my opinion, it had nothing to do with me.


    The next morning, I arrived at thepany. As soon as I entered the office, I saw several


    colleagues of mine converge and chat. When they saw meing in, they stopped chatting


    immediately.


    They all looked at me.


    But no one spoke.


    I didn''t bother with them


    Seeing that I didn''t respond, Raina seemed to fail to hold herself back. Then she stood up and


    asked, "Charlotte Archer, your sister was raped by gangsters. Why didn''t you have any reaction at


    all?"


    "What?"


    I was stunned.


    Then, I looked at Raina.


    Raina was a little surprised as she said, "Don''t tell me you don''t know anything about it? There''s


    news on the Inte that your sister, Patrick''s fiancee, was kidnapped and raped by several


    gangsters the night before."


    With a confused look on my face, I immediately took out my cell phone and logged on to Facebook.


    I searched on it for news casually...


    Sure enough, this matter had spread all over the Inte.


    It was not because Caroline was very famous.


    Instead, it was because Patrick was too famous.


    He used to be a dream lover of many women. He had held a wedding before. And after making a lot


    of scenes, he said that he would marry Caroline again.


    A lot of things about Patrick and Caroline were spread all over the inte.


    Although nobody knew exactly what had happened, they thought pretty ill of the Archer Family.


    They all thought that Caroline surely wanted to waste Patrick''s money away by asking him to hold a


    wedding ceremony for her twice.


    Now Caroline was revealed to have been raped by gangsters. And thements below the news


    were even more disgusting.


    Many of thements read, "Good job! She was raped. Otherwise, these youngdies would


    always feel that they were noble and reserved".


    "These gangsters did a good job. They f**ked Patrick''s woman!"


    There were a lot more viciousments.


    Some of thements seemed to be made by females. They thought that since Caroline had been


    raped, she surely wasn''t worthy of Patrick anymore and that she should quickly give Patrick up!


    Reading thesements, I had a strange feeling in my heart.


    In my opinion, what had happened to Caroline was all her own fault. Even so, I still felt a little


    ufortable as I read theizens''ments.


    When I was reading thesements, Raina said, "I heard that the police hade to see you


    yesterday. And some people said that regarding the birthday blessings "Charlotte, happy birthday"


    disyed over the screens of the buildings across the city a while ago, Patrick contracted them for


    you -"
