She knew that fire escapes in hotels like this were usually outside the main building and would have a large platform.
Just as well, she was going to go out for some fresh air, and the ballroom was too stuffy.
She gently cracked the fire door open.
From the crack, she could hear the familiar low, magnetic voice of Luther.
"Oh, if it weren't for the fact that you once saved my life ..."
Joyce was severely stunned, and her hand on the door froze in mid-air.
It turned out that he did not recover his memory.
Luther looked at Charlotte coldly, trying to conceal the disgust in his heart.
"You better give a decent reason or you know the consequences." He warned, "The military must have done an investigation for Ricky's case, but the result was never released to the outside world. You should know exactly why."
Luther was finally willing to speak to her. Charlotte was overjoyed and hastened to explain, "Mr. Warner. Ricky kept threatening me and he had the video. I don't know why Joyce got the video, but, according to the investigation of the military, Ricky did go after Joyce all the way because he knew Joyce had gotten the video and wanted to use it against him. That's really the reason, and I'm not lying to you."
"Mr. Warner, think about it. When Ricky was chasing Joyce, I had already fallen down the stairs and had an unfortunate miscarriage. In such a situation, I could not even protect myself, so how could I have ordered Ricky? It was really his doing alone, and I had nothing to do with it. Mr. Warner, Ricky has always dreamed of being a general. That's why he set me up and threatened me. I'm really a victim ... I admit, I'm useless, and I am never his opponent ... but, I'm just a frail woman who grew up in an orphanage, and I really did not expect that he could be so vicious..." Charlotte said while crying, pretending to be very aggrieved.
"Huh." Luther simply had to clap his hands in his heart.
Why on earth would he be here to listen to her bullshit.
Was she innocent? She did not expect he could so vicious?
