Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170 Sorry
"However, what Raina Richard didn’t expect was that Charlotte Thompson would propose without hesitation that she and the children be used as a trade.
Previously, the two men from the Ross Family had been telling her that Charlotte only used the children and had no love for them.
Now, Raina Richard realized that a person who truly doesn’t love the children wouldn’t step forward without hesitation in such a dangerous moment.
Raina Richard could also hear the urgency in Charlotte’s voice when she made the call.
It was because of Charlotte that Raina Richard mustered the courage.
So, Raina Richard took the chance while Charlotte was negotiating with Benjamin Carter and quietly moved out, slowly nearing Benjamin Carter.
Although Charlotte did not know why Raina Richard suddenly appeared there, her expression obviously made Andrew Carter cautious again. Charlotte took a deep breath, trying to ignore Raina Richard behind Benjamin Carter.
’I’ll exchange myself and the children for their safety, I’ll be the hostage, and I’ll prepare the money and the car. I do what I say, and I’ll make sure you won’t be harmed, trust me.’
Although repeating these words, Charlotte knew only these words could make Benjamin Carter lower his guard.
Both Charlotte and Raina Richard were slowly closing in.
One in front, one behind.
Charlotte even kicked off her high heels, fearing she would make a sound and alert Benjamin Carter.
Even if the glass shards pierced her skin, Charlotte remained expressionless.
Sure enough, the knife in Benjamin Carter’s hand moved further away from Jack Thompson’s neck.
Though he lowered his guard, he didn’t step out from behind Jack.
At that moment, Raina Richard suddenly grabbed Benjamin Carter’s hand that held the knife, and forcefully pushed Jack Thompson out of his arms.
Benjamin Carter, completely surprised by the attack from behind, tensed up in shock and struggled instinctively.
As a result, the knife slashed out.
But it didn’t hurt Jack Thompson, instead, it directly slashed Raina Richard’s throat.
At that moment, Benjamin Carter finally saw Raina Richard’s face.
But just as he opened his mouth, a bullet pierced right through his temple.
Blood blossomed like a strikingly beautiful flower, staining everything around it, almost tinting the blue sky with its crimson.
Charlotte, without any hesitation, rushed to Jack and held him tightly in her arms.
When she looked up, she saw Benjamin Carter and Raina Richard lying together.
Raina Richard’s gaze turned towards her.
The will to live made her instinctively cover the wound on her neck, but the blood kept flowing through her fingers.
Their gazes met in midair.
Charlotte clearly saw how Raina Richard’s lips quickly turned pale and trembled slightly.
She uttered her last three words.
’I’m sorry.’
People behind started to crowd over, and the previously tense atmosphere suddenly became noisy.
Charlotte pressed Chad Thompson’s head against her, preventing him from lifting his head to see the bloody scene.
Raina Richard’s clothes were torn, just like the first time Charlotte saw her, her arm raised, showing the wounds it bore.
It seemed there were even more injuries than the last time they met.
Charlotte watched as Raina Richard looked up at the sky, her gaze landing on a bird flying by.
The light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
But her lips curled into a gentle smile."
