Chapter 270
Charmine arrived on her motorbike, swiftly like the wind. She removed her helmet and coldly glanced at the security guards that stood by the sides. “Why are you even hired? Did we feed you for free? Clear the crowd!”
“Yes, Madam.” The security guards were terrified at the sight of Charmine, and they quickly started to disperse the crowd.
The crowd yelled at Charmine, “Charmine, why would you sign a third-wheeler like her? Why do you side with her?”
“Weren’t you just cheated by your sister? Why can’t you understand Gigi’s feelings? A third wheeler like her deserves to be dead!”
“Gigi’s kid is already three years old! This woman ruined their family, and she deserves to die!”
Charmine merely watched the mad fans calling for justice and walked away. Words were useless; solving the problem was key. The security guards had dispersed most of the crowd, waiting for help to be sent.
As Charmine entered the office, Rio rushed up anxiously. “Charmine, you’re finally here. What now? The rescue team said their car broke down, and it might take them half an hour to arrive, but her body might’ve hardened by then!”.
He was Charmine’s elder cousin, but at that moment, he sounded more like a younger brother.
Unperturbed, Charmine walked to the lift and called out, “Prepare some rope and gloves.”
“Huh? What do we need these for? Is it to bring her back? She’s mentally unstable right now, and she won’t let anyone come close to her!”
The usually unperturbed Rio was very anxious. After all, it was the first time he had come across something so serious.
Charmine went into the lift and pressed on the ninth floor button. “Send them to me when they’re ready,” finalized Charmine in a mature tone.
Rio went to prepare them right away.
At the lobby of the ninth floor, Eric asked everyone to leave as he did not want to trigger Scarlet. He was left behind to comfort her, though Scarlet would not take in anything he said. She remained seated on the edge of the balcony; she appeared awfully lonely.
Charmine walked closer, but Eric immediately grabbed her by the wrist. “Don’t go there. She’s mentally unstable and won’t listen to anything. She might accidentally fall.”
Charmine could only stand by the door with a frown.: NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
If Scarlet truly was the third-wheeler, then she should be shameless enough to not feel such pain that she would try to commit suicide. The truth was never as simple as it seemed.
Moments later, Rio came up with some rope and a pair of thick gloves. “What now?” he asked softly.
“You two, follow me.” After receiving the items, Charmine walked toward the staircase.
Eric and Rio frowned. Follow her? No one would keep watch over Scarlet if they did…
“What now? Will standing there do any help?” quipped Charmine as she walked up the stairs.
The two had no choice but to follow her. The three of them arrived on the eleventh floor, two floors away from where Scarlet was.
Eric and Rio frowned again. Why were they on the eleventh floor? How could this save Scarlet a t all?
