Chapter 116 The Children Have Been Kidnapped As he spoke, he once again produced two paternity test reports.
Glancing at them, Charlotte saw that they were the results of the paternity test between David and her children.
âYou can think again, besides your family and David, who else could possibly be the father of these two children?â Joe sneered.
Charlotte steadied her emotions, attempting to provoke Joe once more. âSince weâre already divorced, what does it matter to you who the father of my children isâ¦â
Before she could finish, her phone suddenly rang.
She looked at Joe, seeing that he didnât stop her, so she answered the call.
Davidâs slightly anxious voice came through, âBen and Anna were taken for tests? Why is there no one in the ward?â
Charlotte suddenly looked up at Joe, her anger boiling over as she scolded, âJoe, you bastard! If you have any complaints, come at me. Why target my children?â
Joe frowned. âWhat nonsense are you spouting?â
He quickly grasped the point. âThe children are missing?â
Having known each other for years, Charlotte could tell that Joe wasnât lying. Her face turned pale.
She grabbed Joeâs hand, her tone pleading, âYou really didnât have someone take them away?â
Joe furrowed his brow tightly, holding her hand, âRest assured, Iâll help you find the children.â
Saying that he took out his phone and made a call.
On the other end of the line, David had clearly heard the conversation on this side. He hurriedly reassured Charlotte, âIâll arrange for people to search right away. Donât worry. The children will be safe.â
Charlotte hung up the phone.
In this critical moment, her mind gradually cleared.
The first person she suspected was Joe when something happened to the children, but his reaction now seemed unrelated to him.
As for the rest, the ones who held deep enough grudges against her to possibly harm the childrenâ¦
âInvestigate Lily, Wendy, and the White family!â Charlotte swiftly instructed Joe while she prepared to call Frank to seek assistance.
But as soon as she unlocked her phone, a message from an unfamiliar number popped up.
It was an image taken in a dim warehouse, where Ben and Anna were tied to chairs. Another child was beside them, but Charlotte didnât pay much attention to that.
She looked at Benâs injured hand hanging weakly and Anna, her face red from struggling. Charlotteâs breath seemed to stop.
âCheck a phone number!â
Joe also saw the image in Charlotteâs phone, and a surge of anger erupted from him.
Charlotte tremblingly sent the image to Frank, who quickly called her, âMiss Clinton, whatâs this?â
âBen and Anna have been kidnapped. Instruct all the members of the companyâs tech department to use any means necessary to locate this place.â Charlotte took a deep breath, trying to stabilize her emotions, âKeep this information confidential. Anyone who finds a clue will be rewarded one million dollars each.â
On the other end of the phone, Frank was momentarily flustered, but he soon agreed.
Charlotte still felt uneasy. She sent the image and the number to her friends in Farmland, asking them to release a substantial reward and spread the message among hackers to locate the address shown in the image.
