Chapter 1202 Colluding with Each Other
Thinking back to that night in the warehouse, Charlotte felt a wave of dizziness, as if it had happened just yesterday. "That night, Austin and I buried the kidnapper in the woods behind the warehouse. We covered the ground with grass so no one would notice the disturbed soil."
Carter suddenly understood. "No wonder Violet and the kidnapper disappeared together! You killed them!"
He had always wondered why such a large group of people was seen entering on the surveillance footage but never seen leaving.
The kidnapper and his daughter had vanished into thin air!
They had speculated that the kidnapper might have escaped by another route. They never considered that he was already dead and buried.
Charlotte sneered. "Exactly! We wanted to throw you off, make you think they had disappeared without a trace.
In reality, after burying the kidnapper, Austin and I took Violet away.
At the time, Violet was only in middle school, and her willpower was weak. The psychologist didn't have to work hard to erase her memory!
As for Quentin and Lisa...
Ha, to this day, they still think their daughter's drowning was an accident!"
Patricia's breath caught in her throat. "Was Hannah's death your doing?"
Harper frantically shook his head, hoping she would stop talking.
But Harper was behind Charlotte, who was lost in her own thoughts and didn't see her.
"Hannah's background was perfect for our plan! She lived with her grandmother, her parents had no attachment to her, and her brother was too young.
On the day we erased Violet's memory, the real Hannah drowned while saving her brother.
To seamlessly place Violet with the White family, we had Hannah's body retrieved and buried somewhere else.
That way, when Violet appeared at the White family, no one would suspect a thing!"
Patricia was incredulous. "What a flawless plan! You plotted for over twenty years just for revenge!"
The sheer endurance was beyond ordinary people!
Charlotte scoffed. "To achieve great things, you need patience! If it weren't for Austin's attachment to Carter and Lassie, you would have been dead many times over! He was my biggest variable."
Carter looked at Austin with a complicated expression.
He had been completely disappointed in him, but after hearing Charlotte, a glimmer of hope sparked in his heart.
After all, twenty years of feelings didn't just disappear.
Charlotte continued, "Violet truly believes she's Hannah, a child of the White family! She has no doubts about her identity.
To keep her hidden, Harper arranged for them to go abroad, to Country D.
Harper and I had planned to use Austin to poison your food slowly, so we could get our revenge without it being traced back to him.
But he refused! He even locked me up in a room in Country D, chaining me up to protect you!
I was stuck in that dark room for eight years! No matter how much I tried to provoke him, he wouldn't harm you.
He's truly Hunter's son, forever trapped by 'love.'
Just like us, he couldn't achieve great things, always dreaming of marrying Violet and starting a family.
Our flawless plan stalled because of him."
Carter's emotions were all over the place.
He looked at Austin, eyes bloodshot.
Suddenly, he didn't hate him as much, even feeling a bit sorry for him.
What had he gone through all these years?
If Carter had noticed sooner, guided him, would things have turned out differently?
Would Austin have avoided going astray?
Patricia looked at Charlotte, puzzled. "If you were imprisoned in Country D, how did you get out? When we captured Austin, he didn't know in advance and couldn't have released you."
Charlotte laughed coldly. "He couldn't, but Harper could!"
Patricia was confused.
Charlotte explained, "Austin didn't know Harper was my accomplice, but Harper knew our every move!
She kept us informed about everything happening in your family! Otherwise, how do you think Violet stayed hidden for so long?
Even with Charles' advanced search software, you couldn't find her?"
Patricia fell silent.
If there wasn't a mole, how could they have hidden Violet for so long?
They never suspected an insider!
"Harper and I thought our flawless plan was failing! Austin was a lost cause! But then, even God helped us!
Austin finally won over Hannah, got engaged, and was just waiting for her to reach the legal age to marry. But thenCharles appeared!
My son's nightmare returned!
Even without Violet's memories, even as Hannah, she fell in love with Charles again! Ha!"
She found it laughable.
How could she fall in love again?
"Despite their short acquaintance, they fell deeply in love, passionately!
Violet abandoned my son again. He lost her once more.
After all his planning, Charles replaced him in less than a month."
In hindsight, love was unpredictable, without reason or logic.
"After Hannah's betrayal, Austin drowned his sorrows, becoming a shadow of his former self."
Everyone looked at Austin with sympathy.
He had grown up with Violet.
He had spent more time with her than Charles.
But Violet just didn't love him.
No matter how many times she forgot Charles, she fell for him again.
Anyone would be devastated.
Everyone felt sorry for Austin, but not Charlotte. She was indifferent, as if recounting someone else's story.
"Austin was heartbroken, and Charles took Violet again. Our chance had come!
Austin's last line of defense was gone! Ha, I have to thank you all..." She laughed, then suddenly cried.
She cried bitterly.
