Chapter 745 Dead Man's Body

• The night breeze was especially chilly by the riverside that day, and the water flow in the river seemed to become more intense as time ticked by. Joseph still had his grip on Charlotte as they stood by the port. Charlotte's eyes were red and her voice was hoarse from all the crying. "Uncle Joseph…"
• "I won't hurt you, Charlotte. You'll be able to go home safely as long as they let me go," Joseph whispered in a hushed voice. She continued to sob as she spoke, "But… things weren't like this in the past… Why don't you come home? Grandpa Philip and Dad won't blame you for anything. You should snap out of this."
• Joseph wasn't in his best state then, but the smile on his face was still gentle and soft. "You're still young, Charlotte. Perhaps one day, when you grow up, you'll realize I never had a place in the Woodley Family. I'm sure there are times when even you resented me, right?" he asked.
