The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 521

Chapter 521

While Wesley was deep in thought,

And Charles was waiting,

A taxi sat idling some distance away from the prison gates.

Inside the car were Dahlia and Sandy.

It was only when Dahlia was about to leave Jenkins Enterprises that a sudden realization struck her.

She remembered the words Charles had hissed at her as he tightened his grip around her throat.

The truth about her crippled legs was something only she and Evelyn knew.

If Charles was aware, then it had to be Evelyn who told him.

If Evelyn had let that slip, then all the other things she'd done to Evelyn-Evelyn would certainly have recounted those to Charles as well, with plenty of embellishment.

Including how she'd intentionally caused the death of that little brat Charlie, and all the times she'd gone out of her way to torment and disgust Evelyn.

No one understood better than Dahlia how deep Charles's feelings for Debbie had run-she'd benefited from it for a decade.

Now that Evelyn had become Debbie in Charles's eyes, anything Evelyn said, Charles would believe without a doubt.

No wonder Charles had abruptly frozen her credit cards and thrown her out of the manor.

He'd even transferred the deed of the house she lived in to Evelyn, letting Evelyn dispose of it as she pleased, just to spite her.

The moment Dahlia realized all this, she no longer had the energy to curse Evelyn. Her mind was spinning.

If Charles truly believed all the things she'd tried so hard to hide,

He would never let her off the hook.

Revoking the privileges for her and Sandy, kicking her out of the house-those were just the beginning.

He felt so much guilt over Charlie's death. If he discovered she'd orchestrated it, he wouldn't just let it slide.
