Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 148: Do You Even Deserve My Trust

Scarlett’s POV:

Rita tried to drown me in the bathtub. As a result, my clothes became soaking wet and clung to my body.

I tried to get up, but she pinned me down with all her strength.

In a fit of panic, I grabbed her leg and clenched it as tightly as I could. Rita groaned in pain and unconsciously loosened her grip on me. While she was distracted, I took the opportunity to turn the tables.

“You’re not here to congratulate me but to kill me, are you?” I asked with a sneer. I was out of breath after fighting for my life just now.

“I want you to die with your child!” Rita admitted without a second thought.

While I was tussling with her, I heard Richard’s voice behind me. 

“What are you doing?” he asked incredulously

Flustered, I let go of Rita.

She stood up and knelt at my feet, gasping for breath. To my surprise, she grabbed my leg and pleaded weakly, “Scarlett, please don’t do this. I’ll leave now.”

However, I was unmoved. I raised my foot, intending to kick this hypocrite in front of me.

But before I could kick her, Richard went out of the tent and ordered to the people outside, “Go and find Charles.”

Unexpectedly, Rita grabbed her own neck tightly and did not let go until she almost knocked herself unconscious.

She collapsed on the edge of the bathtub and looked at me with a cunning smile.

A few moments later, Charles entered the tent and looked at me up and down. Then, he put his coat over my shoulders and asked with a frown, “What’s going on?”

“Rita broke in,” Richard replied with his head lowered to the ground.

Charles looked at Rita and pointed at her neck.

 “Scarlett strangled her?” he asked in disbelief.

I looked at Charles with utter disappointment.

“She strangled herself,” I scoffed. I felt wronged. How could he suspect me of doing such a horrible thing?
