Chapter 904: Chapter 904: You Want to Kill Me?
Actually, before Charlotte Thompson pretended to drink Zoe Anne’s champagne and acted as if she had fainted, she had already contacted Justin Battleson.
Justin Battleson coldly lifted his eyes, though he let go of his grasp, but before Ryan Richard could catch his breath from the aftermath, Justin Battleson abruptly lifted his foot and mercilessly kicked into Ryan Richard’s chest.
With a crash, Ryan Richard’s body slammed into the cabinet behind him and then collapsed onto the floor in a very sorry state.
The bodyguard standing nearby quickly helped Ryan Richard up.
Scanning the situation, the bodyguard understood and swiftly gagged Ryan Richard, dragging him into a corner.
"Are you feeling any discomfort?" Justin Battleson turned around, blocking Charlotte’s view, and seriously asked.
"I didn’t drink the champagne, so I’m fine," Charlotte said softly.
"Leave these matters to me from now on, you’re not allowed to do this anymore."
After learning about the situation, Justin Battleson thought about resolving it for Charlotte directly.
If it weren’t for Charlotte wanting to investigate the matter behind all this, Justin Battleson would have probably mutilated Ryan Richard into pieces right away.
"Understood."
Actually, even during her feigned faint, Charlotte felt disgusted by Ryan Richard’s words.
She nodded her head, then took the video camera beside her and turned off the recording function that was still running.
Charlotte reviewed the video just recorded, deleted all footage after her awakening, and only kept the first few sentences spoken by Ryan Richard.
Of course, since it was from a specific angle, the video only showed Charlotte lying on the bed; naturally, Charlotte wouldn’t keep these scenes. When the time came, she would just extract Ryan Richard’s audio.
Charlotte turned her head, looking at Ryan Richard who had been beaten until his nose and face were swollen, and said coldly with a smile:
"Ryan Richard, I thought you had learned to be smart, but it seems I overestimated you."
Hearing this, Ryan Richard looked up at Charlotte, biting down hard on his teeth.
"How did you know! You’ve been plotting with Zoe Anne against me!"
This was the only possibility Ryan Richard could think of.
Charlotte originally wanted to step forward, but Justin Battleson wrapped his arms around her waist and stopped her motion.
If Ryan Richard didn’t still have some utility, Justin Battleson would have already made him disappear from this world.
"Ryan Richard, do you think after dealing with the Allen family, I would let you go?" Charlotte said indifferently.
She had people watching Ryan Richard, so she knew clearly about the places he had been to and the things he had done these days.
"You want to kill me?" Ryan Richard’s body shuddered.
Suddenly, his eyes darted and he bolted upright, as if beginning his final struggle.
"Charlotte! You can’t do this! I’ll tell you everything Zoe Anne made me do, you can’t kill me!"
Ryan Richard only now realized his grave error.
The Charlotte in front of him was no longer the same Sophie Allen from five years ago who could be easily manipulated.
He should have realized this long ago.
Charlotte looked down at Ryan Richard grovelling at her feet, a far cry from the once arrogant heir of the Richard family.
This made Charlotte reflect with some emotion; how blind she had been to have ever fallen in love with such a despicable and shameful man.
Just then, disorderly footsteps and voices came from outside the door.
"Why is Charlotte suddenly conducting an interview in the room?"
"She was a bit tired just now, so she came up to rest, and that’s why I called you all to come up."
