At the moment when the sound of the impact of the collision reverberated from within the tunnel, Charlie could not help but be stunned for a moment. 3
Charlie did not need to look to know how strong the impact of the collision was because there was such a huge movement from within the tunnel.
Even a Rolls-Royce with such a sturdy build would not be able to withstand such a large force. So, the odds were not in favor of the people who were inside the car at this time! 3
At this time, Charlie could not help but felt sorry for them. 3
Although he did not have any form of friendship with Sophie, no matter what it was, he did not hold any grudges against her. She was just a young girl in her early twenties who had been brutally murdered by her own family in such a cruel manner. Therefore, it was inevitable for anyone to feel sympathetic toward her.
Besides, Charlie felt that Helen was even more pitiful.
Speaking of which, Charlie had not had any form of encounter with Helen before. In contrast, Charlie had saved Sophie and her brother's lives when they were i n Japan.
However, Helen had been obsessed and deeply in love with his father for so many years. This time, the reason why she had met with such a grim disaster was also because she could not forget his father even after so many years. 3
Therefore, the image that Charlie had of Helen in his mind was even more tragic at this point.
The man that she loved did not choose her, but the man that she chose betrayed her for so many years. 2
She could not forget about the man that she had loved even though he had already been dead for so many years. She was even willing to spend so much money just to buy over the old mansion that he had once lived in back then. 3
It was precisely because of these thoughts and behavior that she had that all of this misfortune was befalling her at this time. 2
Therefore, how could he not feel any sympathy toward a woman like this?
Charlie could not help but feel a little frustrated deep inside. 'If I knew that this was going to happen, I would have already dealt with Zakir back at Treasure Pavilion!' 5
'In that case, Helen and Sophie would not have suffered this mishap!’ 2
'But having said that, if the Schulz family is bent on taking their lives, so what if I really killed Zakir and saved their lives back in Treasure Pavilion? The Schulz family would definitely continue coming up with various other ways to kill them regardless. Even i f I were to kill Zakir, the Schulz family would be able t o look for any other Tom, Dick, or Harry to get the job done.’
