As I looked at Caroline, I didn't say anything.
Caroline crossed her arms in front of her chest and put away her smile, "Patrick Cowell is the boss of Towering High. He is at the top of the social ladder of City Y. He can do whatever he wants and get whatever he wants. He is omnipotent. Such a man surely has strong possessiveness." "Think about it. My past can't be messier. But to control me, he put up with my past over and over again. Starting from the day when you gave your virginity to him, he has regarded you as his property!"
"No..."
"Don't lie to yourself!" Caroline interrupted me directly, "You should know very well how strong Patrick's possessiveness is! Seth actually came to see you from his faraway hometown after helping you out of the siege that time. Moreover, Patrick knew that Seth had plotted against him!
"Moreover, do you think that Patrick didn't know that Seth was coming to City Y? For what happened in City Y, as long as he
wanted to know, he could know them all."
It had to be said that every word Caroline had said made sense.
But I didn't want to accept such a truth!
Although I wanted to stay away from Patrick from now on, I didn't want to believe that he had done such a despicable thing.
I refused to believe that he had killed Seth!
I adjusted my mood and looked at Caroline with a calm smile, "I'm sorry. I don't believe it. Unless Patrick comes to tell me so personally, I won't believe a word from you!"
It seemed that Caroline didn't expect that I wouldn't believe her after she said those words.
She was stunned. Then she looked at me blankly. And there wasn't any expression on her face.
Then she suddenly began to laugh out wildly!
"Hahahaha! It seems that you do have strong feelings for him." She paused and said unwillingly, "No wonder when he drank too much, he held me in his arms and shouted your name. Hahahaha!"
Caroline couldn't help laughing.
She laughed very exaggeratingly.
But her expression was extremely sad.
As she smiled, tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She wiped them away unwillingly, reached out, and pinched my cheek hard, "However, everything will end today! From now on, he will never mistake me like you again!"
"Do, do you want to kill me?"
I saw her put her hand in her pocket.
Soon, she took something out of her pocket!
Because the thing wasn't big, I couldn't see it clearly. And I could only see through her fingers that the thing seemed to be a teacolored thing.
It was like a bottle!
"Kill you? That won't be good." Caroline put on a pitiful expression again, "You are my sister. How can I kill my sister?"
She turned her hand upside down and used her index finger and thumb to pinch the thing that she had just taken out of her pocket.
Only then did I see clearly what the bottle looked like.
It was a small tea-colored glass bottle. The bottle's body was made of glass. So was its lid. The liquid inside was shaking.
Because the bottle was of tea color, I couldn't tell the color of the liquid.
There was a layer of plastic wrap between the lid and the bottle. It seemed that such a design was to prevent the liquid from being spilled out.
"What is this?"
"What kind of things have to be put in pure glassware?"
The answer lay in several highly corrosive liquids...
"Let me go!"
What Caroline had said a few days ago suddenly occurred to my mind.
She said that if she couldn't get Patrick, she would be doomed together with me!
"Let you go?" Caroline shook the glass bottle in front of her and stared at the liquid, "Charlotte Archer, do you know? What I hate most is having the same face as you. When I first saw you at school, I was in disgust!
