Charlotte's eyes sparkled with satisfaction.
She finally did something for him.
If she died like this, would Walter remember her?
Even if he did not love her, even if he hated her a little... could her existence be deeply engraved in Walter's heart?
How could Deborah compete with a dead person?
She was not afraid of death for Walter.
Charlotte felt pain all over her body, and blood kept gushing out from her. She could feel death coming for her, but she oddly felt calm.
Finally, she did not have to work day and night for her paralyzed mother and she did not have to entrust her life to others. More importantly, she left a great impression in front of her beloved man and by then, she would become someone he could never forget.
Charlotte closed her eyes with a smile.
She always knew that for Sophia, she was just a tool to make money for her. Even if she died, it would have no impact on Sophia.
What she cared about was nothing more than Walter's attention as she just wanted to leave an impression on him.
Seeing Charlotte's soft body slowly fall to the ground, Walter's heart moved.
So what?
He had no affection towards Charlotte at all, not to mention that she had colluded with Andrea to hurt Mango not long ago.
That alone was unforgivable.
So what if she died in order to save him?
Everything was just her own choice.
Walter did not care if he was considered aloof or cold-blooded, he would not put in any feelings on the person he did not care about. This might be inherited from Sophia.
If the person who got stabbed today was Deborah, Walter would probably kill everyone here to vent his anger.
Now, the mercenary had been pushed away by Charlotte, hence their movements were affected.
Walter also did not want to fight with them, so he turned around and fled.
Everyone was startled.
Maybe they did not expect that Walter would escape, or it was that they didn't realize Walter could be so indifferent to Charlotte's death. Anyhow, Walter ran away in the end.
Walter jumped into his car and drove it to The Ye's Mansion as soon as possible.
He was in discomfiture, but he could not care less.
Upon Walter's arrival, Nathaniel finally woke up.
"Why are you here?"
Nathaniel's voice sounded hoarse, and the stubble all over his face showed his haggardness and worry towards Mango. His eyes were filled with redness and it made Walter slightly nervous.
"Is Mango okay?"
There was a quiver in his voice.
Nathaniel nodded seriously.
"Mango is blind."
Walter suddenly remembered what Charlotte said, and his hands were trembling.
"Now, she is..."
"Asleep."
Nathaniel asked someone to pour a glass of water for Walter, but he refused.
"I came to tell you that the person who poisoned Andrea was Charlotte, and she was one of Sophia's lackeys."
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes upon hearing Walter's words.
"Charlotte?"
"Yes, although I don't know when she escaped from you, it was indeed the poison given by her. We have figured this out."
As Sophia's son, Walter really wished he had never had such a mother.
A trace of sternness flashed at the bottom of Nathaniel's eyes.
"I will kill Charlotte."
"She's dead. Not long ago."
Walter simply told him what had just happened.
However, Nathaniel felt that the punishment Charlotte had was too light, but the most problematic issue had yet to be solved.
What kind of poison was in Mango's body?
It was very concerning.
However, Nathaniel seemed to have an inkling.
"You mean Charlotte is serving Sophia?"
"Yes."
Walter felt particularly upset.
Sophia hurt the people she liked and cared about repeatedly. What was Walter's position in her heart?
Nathaniel's brows furrowed.
"Andrea said that the poison was given by Bernard."
When Nathaniel's words came out, Walter paused for a moment. Then the two suddenly looked at each other, and there was already a consensus between them.
Sophia had allied with Bernard!
This indication made both of them look terrible.
When Sophia was rescued by his own father and fled abroad, people in the military region were unable to arrest her, and so was Bernard.
What was more, these two people were both powerful b*stards.
Now that the two of them had allied, Nathaniel could clearly realize the seriousness of this issue.
Walter hesitated for a moment and whispered, "A few days ago, Sophia came to see me and told me that she wanted to see Debbie. It seems that she came for the Grey family's business. Do you think there is anything else behind this?"
Nathaniel was not very surprised. He said faintly, "We knew this when you were in contact with Sophia. Deborah was also at the airport restaurant at that time."
These words made Walter completely dumbfounded.
In the past few days, he secretly assigned his forces to protect Deborah as well as Jameson Grey instead of telling Deborah about this.
However, he did not tell Deborah the truth.
It must be fear.
He was afraid that Deborah would find out about the existence of such an evil mother-in-law and that her love for him would change because of Sophia, but he did not expect Deborah to know about it too.
Walter suddenly realized that his love for Deborah was actually so deep.
The fear of losing Deborah made him feel uncomfortable.
"I thought I was the only one who knew, but I didn't expect you to know. Sorry, I didn't handle Sophia properly, and this put Mango in danger."
Walter was somewhat annoyed and remorseful.
