Blood Oath: Forever Yours

Chapter 29: They Were Dead

Charlotte’s face immediately turned pale as she sucked in a cold breath.

“Ethan, who told you about this?” Was it Evelyn? Impossible! She had promised to her that for her own

benefit’s sake, she would never do that.

A huge creeping fear immediately encapsulated her heart, and Charlotte was shaking her head hard to

deny what she had heard.

“Ethan, dad, stop bluffing to me. That is all fake! I am fine, really fine. If you don’t believe me, when we

reunite, you will see with your own eyes that…”

Nobody was listing to her.

What was reverberating at the other end of the phone was Ethan’s sobbing voice.

“Sis, you are the young lady of the Garcia family. You are my most beloved sister and dad’s precious

daughter. How can you go through such humiliation? How can you go through such a life? If I know that

we are having this life because of your sacrifice, we would rather be dead in the first place.

“Sis, I’m sorry, we have dragged you down…”

When Ethan finished saying that, it seemed that he also whispered something to someone beside him.

“Thank you, thank you for letting dad and I know about the truth. Thank you.”

With that, the line went dead.

As the connection was cut, a deadly sense of fear gripped Charlotte mercilessly.

With her whole body shuddering, she browsed her call records and dialled the unknown number to call

back.

The line couldn’t go through.

She tried to call Lawrence, but it was the same result.

She tried to call multiple times, but the call still wouldn’t connect.

The same result repeated itself many times.

When she recalled Ethan’s words which sounded like resignation, Charlotte couldn’t bring herself to

imagine what came after this. There was only one name floating around in her head.

Lawrence.

Only he could save them!

As she remembered that he would personally get his daughter Emma from the kindergarten at this

timing, Charlotte clutched her phone and stumbled out of her house…

…

The Walvis Group. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

After the directors’ meeting ended, Lawrence drove to the kindergarten to pick Emma up.

While he was on the way, he would see glimpses of Charlotte’s desperate face. His eyelids would jump

up by themselves as an uneasy feeling settled in his heart.

He reached for his phone, wanting to make a call only to find that his phone had ran out of battery.

There was a traffic jam ahead. He pressed the car horn impatiently, and in the end he turned around

and headed to the condominium.

When he reached downstairs, he parked the car before catching a glimpse of a figure running towards

road side.

He turned his head instinctively but the streets were empty. There was no figure in the first place.

He went up to their unit and took out the key to open the door. He scanned the interior only to find that

Charlotte was not here.

When he recalled her words saying that she would wait for him no matter how long it would took,

Lawrence felt his face darkened as he lifted his hand and tossed the key angrily.

“Charlotte, you are really something!”

…

Outside the Walvis Manor.

A taxi careened towards the manor, and before the security guard could react, the car was already in

the porch.

Charlotte’s hoarse voice came from the car window.

“Drive to that place! To the living room!”

“Miss, this is a rich area. If I intrude into the place and overstay, they will…”

“Whatever happens, I will take responsibility! I beg you, there is a matter concerning life and death at

stake right now!”

The people in the living room noticed the noise only to see a taxi speeding towards them and

screeching to a halt in front of the entrance.

The car door was flung open with a loud bang and out came Charlotte who looked very anxious. She

was clambering into the living room.

“Lawrence, come out now. I beg you, save my father and brother. Lawrence!”

“Lance, help…”

The next moment, she tripped and crashed to the ground in embarrassment.

Emma who was standing by the door was startled by her. She softly called out to her, “Aunty, dad is not

at home.”

“What?” Charlotte felt her breath run out of her.

The nanny who was taking care of Emma shielded Emma with one hand while glaring at Charlotte with

animosity.

“Miss Garcia, Emma is not lying to you. Miss Miller has sprained her ankle, and she has called to

inform that sir would visit her at night. She has instructed me to bring along Emma together for dinner.”

Charlotte felt her body jolt and she lifted her head and saw a huge television in the living room.

“Breaking news, an elder and a young man has driven up the Tulum Mountain and they have crashed

to their demise into the ocean.”

“A hiking enthusiast of City B has witnessed the scene, and the victims are none other than the ex-

president of the Garcia Group, Michael Garcia who has been rehabilitating overseas and his son,

Ethan Garcia.”

Boom…

Suddenly, there were lightning around her, and it was creating a buzzing dizziness by her ears. The

world seemed to collapse at that moment.

Charlotte gaped at the television screen, and her tears couldn’t help gushing out of her eyes.

They were dead.

Her father and little brother were dead.

Just when she had sacrificed everything she had and led a miserable and struggling life, they had

abandoned her without a second thought and plunged into the ocean to their deaths.

Her sacrifice in past five years was in vain. Life turned to be so meaningless now.

“Haha!”

Charlotte drooped her eyes, and as she cried, she suddenly started laughing. As if she had lost her

soul, she got up from the floor with wobbly feet and moved forward.

When she passed by a car parked by the road, she stopped in her tracks.

“Miss Garcia?”

The nanny, Emma and the taxi driver all widened their eyes at her. They didn’t know why she was

staring at a car with a miserable expression on her face.

The next second, she suddenly pulled open the car door and got into the car.

Before anyone could react, she stomped the gas pedal and the car shot off…
