Chapter 406

Charlotte called Ricky's number immediately after Thomas hung up the phone.

As it was about to go through, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

Cecelia heard a commotion in Charlotte's room, got up and came over to check, asking with concern,

"Charlotte, was that you talking just now? Was that you calling me? Is something wrong at this late

hour?"

Just at that moment, the phone picked up and Ricky's low voice came through.

Charlotte's hand shook with fear and the phone fell on the bed, she hurriedly covered the speaker with

the quilt.

"Mom, I'm fine, I had some trouble sleeping and I just talked to Shelly on the phone." Charlotte's heart

thumped hard, and her whole body broke out in a thin sweat as she lied.

"Oh. It's too late, don't stay up late, take care of yourself. I'm not coming in, just sleep now."

Cecelia said in a raised voice.

"Got it, Mom." Charlotte replied in a rush.

Next, she held her breath and listened carefully, waiting until Cecelia's footsteps faded away before she

picked up the phone and continued the call.

"Hey, Thomas just called me again. He seems to have spotted you. He said he saw a man in black

climbing up through the window. Ricky, have you been exposed?" She spoke fast, but she didn't dare

to be too harsh. After all, she still had to count on Ricky to do the job for her.

"Miss, you underestimate me. If Thomas gets out of my control, I will call you first. Don't worry,

everything is within my grasp. I didn't intend to do it at the hotel next to the train station either. Because

once Thomas died near the train station, it would be difficult for me to take care of the aftermath, and I

wouldn't be able to remove the body, and in the event of a murder, the police would definitely get

involved and follow the trail and maybe find out what we did in the past."

Although Ricky hadn't finished speaking, Charlotte had already breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ricky paused and continued, "I knew Thomas would definitely hide when he heard the commotion, and

the reason why I want to scare him away was because I hoped he would leave the hotel and find an

isolated place to hide. According to my investigation, he did not use his identity to get a room. So once

he leaves Skyview Residence, he will have no place to stay and can only look for abandoned places to

hide. This was convenient for me to get the job done and for me to dispose of his body without leaving

a trace."

"Hmm. So that's how it is, scared the hell out of me. You're so reliable, I'm the one who's been saying

nonsense."

Charlotte said softly.novelbin

"Miss, he may call you again, so keep in touch with me. No need to worry, just bite the bullet and say

you are sending a bank card to him as we agreed before. Originally, if he didn't call you, by the time

you wake up from your sleep, I would have taken care of him as well. I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Thomas is cunning, quite tactful, and a great fighter. You have to be careful yourself." Charlotte

pretended to be concerned, but was actually afraid that in case something would happen to Ricky, he

might drag her down with him.

"Don't worry. Miss, when I'm done with him, I'll come back and deal with the call logs on your phone.

Everything will be fine as usual." Ricky tried to calm her down.

"Got it. I'm hanging up." Charlotte hung up the phone.

Her heart got slightly calmer, Ricky in the end was different from those ordinary people. Thoughtful, and

ruthless.

She could keep him around and use him. As long as he kept obsessing about her body and the power

behind her, he would definitely help her reach her dreams.
