Chapter 541: Chapter 484: It Has Always Been You
Liam Davis’s laughter sounded like annoying, noisy interference in her ears.
Charlotte Lane couldn’t stand it anymore, she got up and kicked him in the leg.
Liam Davis immediately stopped laughing, rolled on the ground, and couldn’t get up right away.
Kevin Clark gripped Charlotte’s hand, “Take a break.”
Charlotte Lane stepped back and Kevin Clark crouched down.
Liam Davis moved his eyes to Kevin Clark as if he realized something. He muttered, “Height 190cm, slim waist, long legs…fair skin, good-looking, unique temperament. From a wealthy family…and successful career. Nice voice, even sings Peking Opera.”
Although his voice was barely audible, Kevin Clark listened carefully. He raised his eyebrows in confusion.
“Kevin, it’s you, isn’t it?” Liam Davis said with his eyes closed.
“I do fit the description. What’s the matter?” Kevin Clark’s deliberately slowed down his speech.
“Two years ago, Daisy Zane told me her criteria for a partner.” Liam Davis suddenly coughed twice. “It’s always been you.”
Kevin Clark’s eyelashes fluttered a bit.
They got together in the spring of last year.
Two years ago…
Kevin Clark suddenly turned his head to look at Charlotte Lane.
Charlotte Lane met his gaze, looking at the smile spreading in his eyes. She hesitated, then turned away and walked out.
“Little girl…”
Charlotte Lane didn’t hear him and walked faster.
Kevin watched her retreating figure and chuckled lightly.
…
Charlotte Lane went to watch the family getting raided, looking for the Platinum Burke Family. The Burke family members were being taken away in groups.
Just as she reached the entrance of the reception room, she saw Amelia Miles being helped out of the side hall.
Amelia Miles was supported and walked without any significant issues.
Some time had passed, and she seemed to be recovering a little.
The wounds had been treated simply.
Many parts of her body had been cut by debris, and her clothes were stained with blood.
But she had changed into clean clothes now, her broken arm had been treated, wrapped in gauze, and was hanging around her neck.
She had applied some medicine to her facial wounds as well.
However, the wound on her face was too deep and long, and applying medicine could only stop the bleeding.
Her face was swollen, with one side of her face, her nose, mouth, and eyes all deformed. The other half of her face was slightly better, but there was a noticeable red handprint and her mouth corner was split open.
Amelia Miles had been walking listlessly, but suddenly saw Charlotte Lane, and her neck stiffened in an instant.
Her face looked unrecognizable and distorted, filled with hatred.
“Daisy Zane!” Amelia Miles’ voice was hoarse and muffled.
Because of the pain in her face and mouth corner, she couldn’t speak clearly.
Charlotte Lane and Silver Palace stopped in their tracks.
Amelia struggled to walk towards Charlotte, but was stopped by the hand on her shoulder: “Daisy Zane! You will have a miserable death! You will have a miserable death! I curse you to have a lifetime of troubles! You’ll never be satisfied!”
Charlotte Lane listened to her curses and approached Amelia slowly.
Those who were supporting Amelia were Hundred Demons Pavilion members; they bowed slightly as Charlotte came near.
“Daisy Zane! You will go to hell! All your sins will be repaid by the people around you. Your mother and grandmother are both whores! They deserve to die! None of you will have a good life…arrrggh!!!!!”
Charlotte Lane’s hand covered Amelia’s mouth, pressing her mouth with the base of her thumb and her big thumb on her face wound.
She not only pressed on it but also used her thumbnail to open the wound that had stopped bleeding.
Amelia Miles was unable to speak with her mouth covered, only making faint sounds.
Her whole body was in convulsions from the pain.
Fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead in an instant.
“Amelia Miles, I don’t know if I’ll get my retribution.” Charlotte Lane said softly, “But this is your retribution. Do you dare to think about what you’ve done before?”
Amelia Miles looked at her.
Charlotte Lane continued, “Clarissa Mason did it because you incited her. Olivia Chester took the blame for you. Your cousin’s family also involved your push from behind. And you framed Daisy Zane together with Bonnie Maxwell. You have blood on your hands, right? How old were you then? You asked your uncle for help.”
At this point, William Lane came to look for her and caught sight of this scene.
Charlotte Lane was ruthless, resolute, fierce, cold-blooded, and even a little crazy.
He had never seen her like this before.
It was a stark contrast to the mischievous and cute sister he remembered.
Charlotte Lane pressed harder on Amelia’s wound, causing her eyes to roll in pain: “Every time, someone takes the disaster for you. This time? Who do you want to take it for you? Who can take it for you? You’re the real disaster, whoever encounters you will be unlucky.”
Amelia Miles couldn’t even stand, relying entirely on the people by her side to support her.
“This wound… will slowly become infected and rot,” Charlotte Lane looked at her wound and continued, “The rotting area will gradually expand, reaching your mouth, your nose, your eyes. You’ll see your own face with rotten flesh hanging off your bones… fun, huh?”
Amelia Miles suddenly struggled.
Like a fish dropped into boiling oil, she jerked violently yet quickly wilted again.
When Charlotte Lane saw her like this, she let go of her, shaking off the blood on her hands and let someone take her away.
She didn’t look at Amelia Miles again, but lowered her head, using the gauze she carried on her body to wipe the blood from her hands.
It wasn’t until William Lane handed her a pack of wet wipes.
She took them, lightening her movements as she wiped the blood from her hands.
“Brother.”
“Hm?”
“Did you see it?” Charlotte Lane asked.
William Lane knew she was talking about the incident just now, and he replied, “Yes.”
After his response, the two fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Charlotte Lane looked at him. The determination in her eyes hadn’t dissipated, and with a broken-hearted, past-breaking feeling, she said softly, “I may not be able to go back to how I was before.”
William Lane looked at her emotionless face and paused before saying, “But you’ll always be Grandfather’s most beloved granddaughter, our parents’ beloved daughter, and my favorite sister. Also, Amelie Quentin’s best sister.”
Hearing his words, the emotions in Charlotte Lane’s eyes gradually dissipated, and she raised a corner of her mouth, “Am I not your best sister?”
Seeing her finally smile, William Lane also laughed, “All of you are my best sisters.”
“So Young Master Lane is actually a master of balancing,” Charlotte Lane leaned against the wall.
“Not bad, I’m striving to balance.” After saying that, William Lane looked at the silver palace lying down at her feet, “How come it listens to you so much?”
“Don’t you already have an answer in your heart?” Charlotte Lane asked back.
William Lane looked at her, his entire being seemingly petrified.
To guess was one thing, to be right was another.
The fact that Silver Palace followed her like this indeed made him suspicious.
Moreover… her martial prowess was very high and she coordinated well with Yoshua and Edward.
With just one look, they knew what to do next.
The most important point was… after Harton Clark’s visit to the Mountain Sea Continent. The pursuit of Martin Hanzel had no follow-up.
His sister was Martin Hanzel.
The first assassin under the Dark Radiance Banner.
Faking death, being sentenced and hunted down…
