Chapter 208: Do You Know Him?
“It seems that someone can’t sit still,” she said with a slight lowering of her gaze, her tone cold.
As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte slightly turned her body and snatched the steering wheel from Benjamin’s hand. Her arm moved swiftly, and in an instant, the car swiftly dodged the black sedan with great speed. It was as if they were skimming the edge of the road. Charlotte controlled the car, heading straight ahead, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from everyone’s view, leaving behind a trail of black exhaust smoke,
The driver of the black sedan, sitting in disbelief, watched as Charlotte’s car, like a black whirlwind, not only evaded his collision in the blink of an eye but also sped away at great speed, leaving him with no chance to catch up.
“Damn!”
At this moment, after Charlotte drove the car onto another road, she handed the steering wheel back to Benjamin.
“You…” Benjamin looked at her incredulously. It was hard to believe that Charlotte had effortlessly shaken off the black sedan with just a casual turn of the steering wheel.
“Your driving skills are impressive,” Benjamin gazed at her with deep eyes and spoke unconsciously.
Charlotte, upon hearing his words, didn’t change her expression. She had no other choice earlier. She didn’t want to reveal too much in front of Benjamin.
“It’s okay. I used to enjoy participating in racing events,” she turned her head and replied casually. This statement was, in fact, true. Charlotte used to like racing, but she had stopped playing now.
Benjamin continued to watch her, and complex emotions swirled in his gaze. There were evidently many things about Charlotte that he didn’t know.
After a brief moment, he withdrew his gaze, regained control of the steering wheel, and accelerated forward. This time, there were no more obstacles on the road.
They arrived at the ancestral home of the Bellerose Family. Charlotte and Benjamin got out of the car one after the other, and Agatha, wearing a cold expression, also emerged from the vehicle.
“Don’t worry, as long as you tell the elders the truth, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Charlotte said in a low voice, seeing Agatha’s unwilling demeanor.
Agatha only pursed her lips and said nothing. Afterward, the three of them entered the main hall of the Bellerose Family.
Because Charlotte had called the Bellerose Family members before arriving, informing them that the crucial witness Agatha Wills would be coming, so Old Mr. Bellerose and Old Mrs. Bellerose were already waiting in the main hall. Alongside them were the other members of the Bellerose Family, with Chester standing among them.
He appeared composed, but his gaze couldn’t help but shift toward Agatha. Agatha… She had really come.
This whole situation was due to alcohol causing trouble. That day, he had gone to Edward’s school to discuss a small business deal with the school authorities. He had consumed quite a bit of alcohol during the meal. Later, when he was leaving the school, he had intended to visit the restroom next to the supermarket.
Unexpectedly, he encountered Agatha outside the supermarket, where she was busy checking inventory. She was quite attractive and had a great figure.
In that brief moment, alcohol had gone to his head, and he seemed to go mad, suddenly rushing up and covering Agatha’s eyes. Then, he led her to a nearby small grove.
She desperately screamed and struggled, and he used his other hand to cover her mouth. The grove was shrouded in darkness, and he could do almos anything he pleased.
However, the girl in front of him threatened him with a
voice, “If you dare to continue… I will definitely call the police!”
Upon hearing that statement, his head cleared instantly. Fortunately, he hadn’t caused any actual harm… but this girl could still call the police, as what he had done amounted to attempted coercion.
Thinking of this, his palms were already sweaty. He needed to come up with a plan to avoid being accused!

Chapter 208: Do You Know Him?
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind. In his pocket, he had Edward’s school ID card! It was left behind accidentally the last time they all gathered at the ancestral home.
The old man had asked him to bring it to Edward when he had the chance. He had been reluctant, but when the old man asked, he had no choice but -to comply.
Unexpectedly, this school ID card came in handy at this critical moment! He intentionally left the card at the scene and quietly slipped away in the darkness.
When he got back home, he still felt uneasy. He believed it was necessary to frame Edward for the crime. A single school ID card wasn’t foolproof. So, he contacted the school authority he had met with earlier regarding their business and had them retrieve the surveillance footage of Edward from that day.
To his surprise, as fate would have it, the surveillance footage showed that Edward was in the vicinity when he and Agatha were struggling by the
- ye. This surveillance footage was undeniably stronger evidence.
He immediately discreetly distributed this footage.
With this, all the suspicion was shifted entirely onto Edward. Even though Edward was his cousin, he didn’t feel an ounce of guilt. The family of Christopher Bellerose had never meant anything to him. Edward being his scapegoat was an honor for that brat!
He had thought that everything had been settled and done with. However, Charlotte unexpectedly intervened on the scene. This person may not seem remarkable, but she was quite tenacious. She had persisted to this point, even managing to convince Agatha to bring her to the ancestral home.
Chester clenched his fists tightly in the shadows.
He refused to believe that Agatha could still recognize him!
At this moment, the elderly couple seated in the center simultaneously cast their gazes toward Agatha.
“Are you the girl who was bullied by Edward?” Old Mrs. Bellerose furrowed her brows, asking somewhat hesitantly.
Old Mr. Bellerose, on the other hand, tightly pressed his lips, his expression serious, and he remained silent.
Agatha pursed her lips but stayed silent, her demeanor effectively confirming her identity.
“Do you know that person?” At this moment, Charlotte’s clear voice rang in everyone’s ears. She extended her finger, pointing directly at Chester.
However, her gaze was fixed on Agatha.
She was asking Agatha.
Asking her if she knew Chester.
If she could recall the memories of that night and identify Chester, then Edward could naturally be exonerated.
Upon hearing this, Chester’s heart tightened instantly.
He still wore a forced calm on his face, but his tightly clenched fingers had already exposed his current nervousness.
“What do you mean by this, Charlotte!” Jane, upon seeing this, was suddenly filled with anger. “Do you believe that someone who would do something like that isn’t Edward, but our Chester?”
Mason also furrowed his brows, staring straight at Charlotte with a cold tone. “You’re saying that Chester did something wrong, and Edward is innocent… Is that what you mean? In your eyes, Chester is the guilty one, and Edward is just being framed?”
“Nonsense, ridiculous!” Mason’s complexion darkened instantly, and he spoke with seriousness. “Don’t ignore the evidence and randomly slander people. Our Chester has seen all kinds of beauties. Why would he casually do something to a girl like this…”
As he spoke, Mason’s gaze subconsciously flicked towards Agatha.
