Chapter 142 A Narrow Escape (One)

• There was silence for a minute or two while Charlotte wracked her brain furiously for an appropriate and believable explanation, but could not come up with any. She had gotten carried away and had said more than she should have. It was Jessica who had told her that Victoria told her that Sebastian married Carol because his uncle had promised to help him find Jessica if he did so. Of course, there was no way that she was going to tell Carol that. When she could not come up with a reasonable explanation, she groaned inwardly at what she knew she would have to do immediately.
• She would have to murder, or at least render this woman unconscious and kidnap her right here and right now in this car. This had not been in her plans at all and it was a major inconvenience, to say the least. She glanced at Carol to find her watching her with a questioning gaze, suspicion, and more than a little fear clearly apparent in those very expressive eyes. Charlotte slowed down the car, made sure the road was free, and that there was no oncoming traffic, while the other woman watched her warily, wondering what she was doing. Charlotte then took a deep breath and was about to let go of the steering wheel and ram her elbow hard into Carol's head, after which she would choke her to death, or bludgeon her head with the hammer that was in the boot of the car, when Carol spoke.
• "Damn! Of course. That stupid woman who was recording Belinda as she yelled at me after the funeral." She said, slapping her palm against her forehead in frustration and stopping the other woman's train of thought.
