Chapter 208

"I need to see Charlie!" Charles' eyes were icy and locked onto Evelyn's. He wasn't asking; he was demanding.

Evelyn felt a chill at his commanding tone. She shot back with a scoff, "Charles, what makes you think you deserve to see Charlie?"

He was blind and biased, always shielded the one who hurt Charlie, and had no right to see her.

Charles figured Evelyn was calling him out for neglecting and misunderstanding Charlie over the past five years. She was saying he wasn't worthy.

He pushed down the irritation from Evelyn's sharp tone and tried to speak calmly, "I've watched the security footage. I know I misjudged Charlie. When she met Sandy, she didn't push her."

The mention of Charlie and Sandy's first encounter took Evelyn back to that day. She had rushed to Dahlia's house, worried out of her mind. From a distance, she saw Charlie standing alone by the pool, tears streaming silently.

Those usually bright eyes were glazed with tears. Her little head was tilted back, gazing at the mansion. Her face was flushed from crying, her lips were pouted, and she looked utterly forlorn. She had been standing there as punishment for so long that her tiny body was swaying, barely able to stay upright.
