Chapter 526
Chapter 526
As we neared the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, Jane called me.
She asked urgently, “Charlotte, you said something happened to Grandma. What’s going on? Isn’t she at the nursing home?”
“Grandma has been kidnapped.”
I was feeling anxious and explained as briefly as I could, “I suspect it’s the work of Bethany and Simone. They’ve informed me to go to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.”
“That’s so damn despicable! Why keep targeting an elderly person over and over?”
Jane was furious and quickly asked, “Where are you now? Does Frank know about this? I’m coming over to meet you immediately!”
“Frank doesn’t know yet. He’s probably too overwhelmed with the patent infringement issue to notice the phone.
As I saw the car approaching the location provided, I said, “I’m almost at the abandoned factory on the
outskirts. You don’t need to come; I’m not alone. I happened to run into Jack, and he’s coming with me.
“Jack? He’s in Jeswood?”
“Yes.”
The car came to a slow stop. I glanced at the time–it was almost exactly as specified by the caller, and there was no time to delay. “Jane, we’ve arrived. I have to go now!*
Jane heard the busy tone on the phone, grabbed her car keys, and anxiously dialed another number.
After trying for a while without success, she hung up and called Charlie. Since her goal was to reach Frank, it didn’t matter whether she got through to him directly or through Charlie.
It made no difference.
Charlie answered quickly, and despite the previous rejection, he remained as nonchalant as ever, “Jane, you finally remembered me? I guess you’ve realized that Zachary can’t compare to me…”
With everything so urgent, Jane had no time for banter. She got straight to the point. “Someone has kidnapped Madam Shaw! They’ve told Charlotte to go to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city to rescue her. Frank isn’t answering his phone-can you find a way to contact him?”
Bethany
hany and Simone were ruthless. They had even poisoned Madam Shaw for inheritance. There was nothing they wouldn’t do.
Even though Jack was accompanying her, Jane still didn’t feel it was sufficient. She needed to find a way to inform Frank!*
Hearing this, Charlie’s expression became serious. “You’re saying my sister–in–law went to the outskirts alone?”
“What do you think?” Jane retorted and added, “Oh, she’s not alone–Frank’s top rival is with her.”
To Jane, Ryan was merely an ex–husband and hardly considered a rival. His past actions lacked any

competitive edge.
Jack, on the other hand, had always been supportive of Charlotte and was a gentleman.
