Chapter 122 It Was a Lie
“Mom! The lady said if we dared to move, she would kill us and our parents! I didn’t move. I don’t want to be hurt!”
Anna was crying so hard that she couldn’t catch her breath, her little face turning bright red.
Hearing her words, Charlotte felt a pang of heartache, her eyes becoming teary as well.
At that moment, Ben tugged at Charlotte’s sleeve and pointed out a few spots, “I saw them burying things in these places…”
Charlotte’s expression turned serious, and she quickly picked up the two children. “Let’s get out of here first.”
Joe had also descended at some point and took Ben from Charlotte’s arms. “Let me carry one.”
Charlotte hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Meanwhile, David’s eyes had turned bloodshot. He threw a punch at one of the strong men, making him spit out blood.
He had intended to throw a few more punches, but he held back, worried about the children. He scooped up Danny and
rushed outside.
One of the leading bodyguards moved to grab Lily, but to his surprise, she suddenly opened her eyes. She even tightened her grip on the knife in her hand and viciously lunged towards the bodyguard.
Luckily, these bodyguards were experienced. In the instant
that Lily opened her eyes, he swiftly grabbed her wrist, snatching the knife from her hand, and even turned her over, pinning her down on the ground.
“I won’t let any of you off the hook! I’ll never forgive you!”
Despite her disheveled appearance, Lily’s excitement was palpable. She kept hurling insults at Charlotte.
Charlotte walked up to her, her expression devoid of emotion.
She looked at Lily scornfully for a moment and suddenly slapped her hard across the face.
Half of Lily’s face immediately swelled up. She glared at
Charlotte with malice, “Do you think it’s that simple? Don’t
worry. There will be someone to avenge me!”
Charlotte’s entire focus was on her children at this moment,
and she didn’t catch the undertones of Lily’s words. With an indifferent expression, she said, “I will use every possible
means to ensure you spend the rest of your life in prison.”
“You don’t have that right!” Lily shouted, but nobody paid her any attention.
Even Charlotte just glanced at her briefly before returning to the children’s side.
Charlotte earnestly thanked Joe outside the warehouse, “I’m grateful for your help just now. Thank you.”
Joe lowered his gaze, his eyes deep and heavy, “Were the things you said to Lily just now true?”
