Scarlett's POV:
William continued to hold me as he carried me to the car. I let go of his hand and got in the car. "Go to the airport."
When we arrived at the airport, I saw a commotion in the VIP lounge not far away.
What was going on? I felt a chill freezing my heart as a bad feeling took over my mind.
Charles' words flashed through my mind.
William and I looked at each other and said in unison, "Jerry and Jason!"
It was clear that he also sensed that something was wrong.
I quickened my pace and ran to the lounge. There was a woman lying unconscious on the ground. It was Tracy!
Jerry and Jason seemed to have already disappeared.
All of a sudden, I blacked out and almost fainted. Thankfully, William held me.
Charles! It must be him!
And it was all my fault. But now was not the right time to think about it. The safety of the twins was the first thing.
Thinking of that, I turned around and ran out of the airport without looking back. All I wanted was to find Jerry and Jason as soon as possible.
"Scarlett, wait for me!" I vaguely heard William calling me from behind, but I just could not afford to care.
As soon as I ran out of the airport, I hailed a taxi.
"Sir, please take me to the Moore Group."
After getting in the car, I kept calling Charles, but he was either talking to someone else or did not want to answer my calls. When he finally picked up, I could not wait to ask, "Charles, what the hell do you want?"
"I am only trying to give you a taste of your own medicine." Charles' cold voice came from the other end of the line.
"Charles, I am begging you. Please give my children back. I don't want anything else."
"You have no right to be negotiating with me," Charles sneered unwilling to make a compromise.
I gritted my teeth and promised, "As long as you give the children back to me, I will do anything you ask of me."
"Scarlett, William hid James away for a year. It's only fair that I pay him back for what he did to me, right?" His voice was so cold that it felt like someone was striking me with a block of ice.
"Charles, do you really despise me that much? Can we talk in person?" I pleaded.
"You want to talk? You are acting a little too self -righteous, don't you think?" Charles hung up. My heart sank as I felt a chill rise up my spine.
Clearly, the twins were with him. I needed to bring them back no matter what happened.
Soon, I arrived at the first floor lobby area of Moore Group. While I waited for the elevator, two bodyguards appeared by my side.
They gave me a curt nod and said, "Sorry, you can't go upstairs without the CEO's permission." "Get out of my way."
"Scarlett, please don't make things difficult for us." The bodyguards did not want to leave my side.
I figured that Charles must have ordered them to do it. Did he really resent me that much?
Just when I was standing there lost in thought, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me. "Scarlett?"
I turned around and saw Spencer.
