“Hello? Hello?” called out Robbie. “Are you still there?”
Lupine didn’t dare to say anything and merely looked at Charlotte cautiously.
When she noticed Charlotte mouthing some words, Lupine said, “You should leave the place as soon as possible. It’s dangerous there.”
After that, Lupine hung up the call at Charlotte’s command.
“What is going on?” blurted Lupine. “The kid said that the ring belongs to his mommy.”
“Could it be…” Morgan stared at the photo, then at Charlotte. Deep down, she was tempted to say that she could see the resemblance between Charlotte and the three kids.
“That’s not possible,” insisted Charlotte. Although she suspected that she was their mother too, she quickly dismissed the thought and frowned while adding, “Maybe I killed the kid’s mom? Or maybe I picked up the ring somewhere?”
“Yes, definitely,” replied Lupine as she nodded. “It’s just a small trinket. It doesn’t mean anything.”
“Besides, we shouldn’t take the kid’s words too seriously,” Morgan chimed in.
Charlotte stared at the screen without saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
Meanwhile, Robbie frowned while holding his phone. He didn’t understand why they suddenly hung up.
They don’t seem like they have vile intentions. At the very least, they didn’t hurt me.
But the mystery of the ring remains unsolved.
As Robbie stared at the locked gates, he was tempted to get in and take a look, but that would be inappropriate. Besides, they are watching me via the cameras. I won’t be able to do anything even if I enter the house.
It’d also be dangerous if they think I’ve offended their employer and attack me.
Those thoughts prompted Robbie to turn around and leave with Fifi.
Just then, his phone rang once again. He thought that it was a call from the girls, so he got excited. But when he checked the screen to see that the call was from Henry, his eyes dimmed with disappointment.
“Hello.”
“Robbie, where are you? Are you almost here?”
