Otis used to deal with military courts and he knew a lot about crime traces. And it was also because of this that he was in charge of Ricky's case back then.
Only after that could they get a handle on Charlotte.
Now, what happened at the Heath residence was simply obvious in his eyes.
Charlotte's back hit the cold tiles and her bones hurt. She was afraid of Otis's stern temperament, stammering and cowering, "Mom slipped in the … in the bathroom. I … I heard it and rushed over and saw the back of her head hit the steps in front of the bathtub… Blood … A lot of blood flowed out, and I was terrified and tried to help her stop the bleeding ..."
She kept rubbing her hands to ease her tension.
"Bullshit!" Otis didn't think twice before raising his hand and slapping Charlotte across her face.
A crisp "pop" sounded.
Charlotte instantly felt dizzy from the beating and her hair was even more disheveled than before.
Her head tilted to the side and a heavy taste of blood came out of her mouth.
Immediately afterward, a hot stream of blood snaked down from the corner of her lips.
Otis's slap was extremely hard.
And in front of Eugene, he did not hold back even just slightly.
For Charlotte, in addition to the pain, it was a humiliation.
There was a ringing inside her ears and she felt dizzy.
"You give me an honest explanation!" Otis burst out, "Inside the bathroom, the footprints on the floor and the traces do not match what you said at all."
He stepped on the ground.
"Cecelia fell from here and the back of her head could hit the steps in front of the bathtub? That's impossible! It was clearly a very heavy external force that caused her to bump into the steps. Do you want to lie to me? Do you think I will believe you?"
"Charlotte, I'm warning you. Don't forget what I did back then."
