You Hit My Heart
Chapter 173

Charlotte stood up. Squatting for a long time, her legs were also a littlenumb.

Stephanie's eyes were rounded, but all she could do was make apainful “grunting” sound.

Charlotte waved a hand at her, smiled and turned around, her heelsclanking on the floor. She left Stephanie's room and closed the doorwith grace.

Then she walked out of the living room, closed the door, and headedstraight for the military vehicle where Ricky was.

Ricky was smoking with his back against the Hummer. His formaluniform, the lingering smoke, and the calm demeanor made him lookextra special. He saw Charlotte come out and he immediately put outthe cigarette in his hand and opened the car door for Charlotte.Charlotte got in the car.

After he closed the door, he returned to the driver's seat and started thecar to drive away from the Warner residence.

Driving all the way away from the Warner family, he asked, "Missy,what's the situation?"

Charlotte had been pretending to be calm, but now she felt scared.After all, she had never done this kind of thing with her own hands. Sheheld on to the seat belt, her hands full of sweat, and under a closerlook, her forehead was also full of sweat.

"Stephanie, Stephanie she was ... aggressive ... lhad to ... "Charlotte's voice had a hint of trembling.

She felt scared, her heart was pounding, her throat choked with a"gurgle” and her back was pressed against the car seat.

"I, had to, well, activate the backup plan.” She added. Because Rickydidn't know that she wasn't really the daughter of the Heath family, shecould only assume that she did it because Stephanie wouldn't accepther and had been left with no choice.

“You can take the gloves off and leave them here, and I'll destroy themall together when we get back.” Ricky drove with one hand and put theother hand on Charlotte's snow white leg, gently reassuring her, “It'sokay, absolutely no one can detect this drug. Don't worry."

Charlotte let him touch her, her heart still pounding.

With trembling hands, she took off her gloves and handed them toRicky.

“It's really okay?" She asked uncertainly.

"Don't worry. I destroyed the camera inside the Warner residence threedays ago. No one will associate that and what happened today. And thesurveillance outside the Warner residence can clearly show that wearrived at 11:50 and left at 1:00 sharp. From the beginning to the end, Iwaited outside and never went inside. And the time of Stephanie'sdeath would be after four o'clock, and you would not be suspected atall." He grabbed her small, soft hand and held it firmly in his.

"All you have to do now is calm yourself down. Pretend that nothinghas happened. I will take care of all the rest." Ricky said indifferently.He did not show anything in his expression. Killing for him was assimple as crushing an ant. Before coming to this country, he was amercenary who killed without blinking an eye. After coming here andfollowing General Ralph, he was now a second lieutenant, and no oneknew about his past.

Charlotte clutched his hand with both hands. Her originally panickedheart slowly calmed down. She took a deep breath and felt muchrelieved.

“I'l send you home to rest while I take care of the aftermath. Aroundfour, I'll use a temporary calling card to prompt Joyce to head to theWarner residence. Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements." Seeingno objection from her, he pulled her hand to his side. He was pleasedthat from now on, she was firmly tied to his side.
