"What's going on?" Catherine also turned pale and hurriedly looked inside, but there was no sign of Charlotte.
She instinctively supported Old Mr. Clinton, even though she didn't know the details; the scene indicated that something had happened to Charlotte.
Joe had no choice but to try to reassure them, "We haven't found Charlotte yet, so please don't worry for now."
His gaze shifted to Sir Smith and Old Mr. Clinton, "I need to go find Charlotte immediately. Please take care of Ben and Anna."
Old Mr. Clinton and Sir Smith nodded solemnly, "Rest assured, we will take good care of Ben and Anna."
They exchanged a glance, and they could see nervousness and concern in each other's eyes.
Staring at the seemingly bottomless doorway, Sharon looked at Joe, "Weren't you in charge of overseeing this project? How come there's an extra opening, and you had no idea?"
Joe's face turned dark and unpleasant. If it weren't for what happened to Charlotte today, he might have never known that there was actually a hidden doorway behind this wall.
Who on earth had the audacity to cause such a commotion right under his nose and snatch Charlotte away?
Without any hesitation, he was about to rush into the doorway.
However, Sharon grabbed him and scolded, "Aren't you afraid there might be an ambush inside? If something happens, Charlotte will blame me in return!"
Joe shook off his hand with a determined look. "I'm not afraid! Charlotte is waiting for me to rescue her. All those so-called safe methods take too much time. I'm worried she can't hold on for that long."
With that said, he lowered his head and went in.
Seeing him go so resolutely and decisively, Sharon didn't bother to say anything more and quickly followed his footsteps.
Through the doorway was a dark and seemingly endless corridor. Even the stone walls on both sides were embedded with modern lighting fixtures.
