Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686 You’re Pretty Cute When You’re Stupid

Charlotte averted her gaze and looked at the man in front of her, lifting her chin slightly. "Untie me. How am I supposed to eat with my hands bound?"

When the man heard that, he pulled out a dagger and moved closer to her.

She quickly gulped and shut her eyes tight. A moment later, the rope around her wrist came loose.

She could feel her nose tingle as she looked at her reddened wrists and gently massaged them.

The man warned, "Miss Woodley, it would be best for you not to play tricks, or you won't even have food to eat in the future."

At that, Charlotte muttered, "Aren't you afraid that I—"

"You're just a pawn. The only thing that matters is that you are alive. Don't have too many demands, Miss Woodley. You'd better understand your situation."

After saying those words, the man turned around and left, locking the door behind him again.

Charlotte looked at the food in front of her. Sniffling, she picked up her fork and started gobbling up her food.

As she ate, her tears pattered when they fell into the food.

She didn't even know how Zoe and Joseph were doing now. Those people probably didn't do anything overboard with them, but Zoe was bleeding so much…

At the thought, Charlotte couldn't help but sob. The more she thought about it, the sadder she was as she blamed herself more.

If only she hadn't so stubbornly insisted on leaving Jamesdon to come to Highside, Zoe wouldn't have gotten hurt trying to protect her.

And the baby in her womb… I'm sure they're safe.

After finishing her meal, Charlotte tried to open the door, only to realize that it was locked. She then walked to the window where she saw several men in black coming in and out downstairs.

It was almost impossible for her to escape by jumping out of the window.

Feeling dejected, she sat on the bed and gazed sadly out the window.

After a while, a woman appeared downstairs.

Freya took off her sunglasses and asked, "How is she?"

"She just finished eating. She stopped making a fuss for now," the man replied.

Freya raised an eyebrow at that. "She is cooperating?"

"Miss Woodley has lived a pampered and sheltered life. She's never experienced something like this before, and she has never starved. We can just give her some food and scare her a bit. That should do it."

She sat on the couch as she stated, "The lady is timid. Don't scare her too much."

The man nodded slightly in response.

Then, she asked again, "Have you contacted the men at Jamesdon? What did they say?"

"Mr. Woodley wants us to take it slow. With her in our hands, we not only have leverage against Charles Woodley and the others but also a way to deal with Lachlan Woodley."

Freya lit a cigar and spoke slowly. "Lachlan Woodley still hasn't shown up even though something so big has happened in Jamesdon."

As she said that, she squinted and blew out a puff of smoke, seemingly lost in thought.

"Given the current situation, Lachlan may not be able to return to Jamesdon."

Freya only looked at him and scoffed without agreeing or disagreeing with his words because Lachlan was definitely not someone they could underestimate.

After a while, she continued, "Tell the people in Jamesdon to keep a close watch. We need to find Aidan Pearson's son and his mother. The situation will only be favorable to us then. Right now, we only have Charlotte in our hands. The most having her will do is restrain Charles and the others. It's far from what we want."

The man nodded. "I will give the instructions right away."

After he left, Freya finished her cigar and went upstairs.

Charlotte, who heard the footsteps, immediately sat up on the bed and cautiously looked at the door. Her entire body was on high alert.

The door was soon opened, but this time, the person that came into sight was a glamorous and flamboyant woman.

Charlotte couldn't help thinking that she looked familiar.

Freya then walked in with a smile. "What's wrong? Don't recognize me anymore?"
