Charlotte panicked, she didn't know what Ricky had done and what Thomas had actually seen.
But, since Ricky didn't call her, things must not be serious.
She could not afford to get confused and be led by Thomas.
She took a deep breath and feigned anger, "You are really useless, no wonder you can't do anything right. No judgment at all. What am I now? The daughter of the Heath family! The man I sent is, of course, professional and well-trained. He was indeed originally special forces!"
"Are you telling the truth?" Thomas began to falter again.
After all, he still wanted the money and did not want to leave empty handed.
And yes, Charlotte was now surrounded by all soldiers.
It was not surprising that she sent a special forces.
"Why would he climb up from outside the wall and avoid the surveillance?" Thomas still had questions.
"Are you pig-headed? If you don't climb the wall, do you just waltz through the front door of the hotel? So that everyone can find out that I had sent someone to the hotel? How can I explain in the future?" When Charlotte saw Thomas turn weak in his tone, she continued to convince him.
Now she understood that Thomas must have seen Ricky climbing the wall looking for him, and he slipped away.
She must not let Thomas get suspicious.
Otherwise, once Thomas got startled and told the police everything, she would be done.
"You really didn't want to kill me?" Thomas asked stupidly.
"Nonsense, if I wanted to kill you, why did I let you leave Khebury in the first place, and not get rid of you right back then?" Charlotte pretended not to be impatient and said, "You never think about the old days, but I still remember how you have helped me in the past."
Thomas was thoroughly impressed.
