Chapter 511

At this point, Charlotte was afraid that they would delve further into the topic.

She leaned softly against Cecelia's side and said, "Mom, I'm not feeling very well, and I'd like to go

upstairs and sit for a while. Besides, I haven't met Dad yet."

Cecelia hastened to hold Charlotte's hand and said in an anxious voice, "You hurry upstairs to rest.

Here, I and your father will take care of the rest, and you don't have to worry. Make sure to take care of

yourself. Mom can't lose you again."

"Hmm." Charlotte nodded.

At this point, Joyce said sagely, "Cecelia, we'll take our leave. You must have a lot of things to take

care of. Sorry, we could not be of much help, so I won't bother you anymore."

Karl also said, "Ms. Hurley, I never thought we would be related in such a way. If you need anything,

feel free to contact me. Now that we are relatives, I will take care of it, please don't worry."

"Good. I was unable to receive you properly because of the changes in my family. I'll see you some

other time." Cecelia replied sincerely.

Charlotte waved her hand, "Bye."

She couldn't wait for them to leave. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She was

afraid that any more sensitive topics might be brought up, and she didn’t want Karl to have more clues.

Right now she just wanted to finish Rodney's funeral quietly and cover up the fact.

In fact, she was so scared inside. Although Karl had never met Mia or even heard of her, his mother

was one of the Coles after all, and he was so familiar with Joyce. Although she had already destroyed

the last photo of Mia in Rodney's hand, who knew if the Cole family still had more photos? If Karl saw

Mia's photo one day, he would be able to recognize that Joyce looked very similar to Mia, and then with

Karl's reasoning ability, it would be easy for him to reason that Joyce was the real daughter of the

Heath family!

Her heart was completely panicked. For a moment, she even had the thought of killing Karl.

But she also knew it wasn't easy. How could it be possible for her to kill a detective or the son of the

Chief Justice?

Looking at Karl and Joyce's distant backs, she stared straight at them, as if she wanted to burn through

both of them with her own eyes.

Cecelia gently took Charlotte into her arms and said with concern, "Charlotte, are you okay? Your face

looks white, do you want me to take you back to the hospital?"

"No, Mom, I'll just need some rest, I want to stay with Grandpa." Charlotte leaned her head on

Cecelia's shoulder and spoke softly.

"Good, you are such a good girl. Mom is so glad to have you." Cecelia exclaimed.

No one could see the resentment and ruthlessness in Charlotte's eyes at the time.

She wanted to stay with the Heath family, and she wanted to see Rodney buried before she could feel

at ease.

On the other hand, Karl and Joyce left the Heath family together.

Joyce ended up taking Karl's car back to Eden Apartment because it was too late and the subway was

out of service.

Upon arrival, the two got out of the car and walked a short distance.

It was already as dark as ink.novelbin

The silent streetlight stretched their shadows long into the distance.

Karl saw that Joyce didn't say anything along the way and suddenly stopped her, "What's wrong with

you? Not happy?" He was a little nervous at heart, was Joyce upset because he had concealed her

identity and background?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it. I just … I had a hard time saying it, that's why I left home, left the

Capital, and came to Khebury with my identity hidden, I ..."
