The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 473

If it weren't for Dahlia stepping in and stirring things up, Charles and Eve wouldn't be in this mess. Charles wouldn't have hurt Eve so deeply, and Charlie might still be alive. There might have been a chance for Charles and Eve to find their way back to each other. But now, the damage is done, and Charlie's gone forever. There's no going back for them.

"Where's Dahlia?" Josephine kept her emotions in check as she asked Charles. She had called him in to find out how he dealt with Dahlia after discovering her deceit and the havoc she wreaked on Eve and Charlie. It was why she rushed to Charles as soon as she woke up. Without justice for Charlie, Eve can't truly move on. As a mother, she wants her daughter to find happiness, and Brooks seems like a good guy for that.

Josephine's breath hitched at his answer. She grabbed an apple from the bedside and hurled it at Charles. "Get out!"

Josephine knew that without solid evidence, they couldn't pin Charlie's and Rosa's deaths on Dahlia right away. Charles had managed to get Dahlia detained because he believed Josephine's story about being pushed down the stairs by Dahlia. That was all he could do without concrete proof. But thinking about Dahlia's nasty deeds and seeing Charles, her accomplice, getting off easy made her furious.
