Chapter 122 It Was a Lie âMom! The lady said if we dared to move, she would kill us and our parents! I didnât move. I donât want to be hurt!â
Anna was crying so hard that she couldnât 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 Charlotteâs sleeve and pointed out a few spots, âI saw them burying things in these placesâ¦â
Charlotteâs expression turned serious, and she quickly picked up the two children. âLetâs get out of here first.â
Joe had also descended at some point and took Ben from Charlotteâs arms. âLet me carry one.â
Charlotte hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Meanwhile, Davidâs 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.
âI wonât let any of you off the hook! Iâll never forgive you!â
Despite her disheveled appearance, Lilyâs 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 Lilyâs face immediately swelled up. She glared at Charlotte with malice, âDo you think itâs that simple? Donât worry. There will be someone to avenge me!â
Charlotteâs entire focus was on her children at this moment, and she didnât catch the undertones of Lilyâs words. With an indifferent expression, she said, âI will use every possible means to ensure you spend the rest of your life in prison.â
âYou donât have that right!â Lily shouted, but nobody paid her any attention.
Even Charlotte just glanced at her briefly before returning to the childrenâs side.
Charlotte earnestly thanked Joe outside the warehouse, âIâm grateful for your help just now. Thank you.â
Joe lowered his gaze, his eyes deep and heavy, âWere the things you said to Lily just now true?â
Charlotte fell silent for a moment, then gave a wry smile, âIf I hadnât said those things, her focus would have been on the children. The consequences might have been even more unimaginableâ¦â
âEvery word you said just now was a lie?â Joeâs tone turned cold.
Charlotte nodded without hesitation.
For a moment, a peculiar expression crossed Joeâs face. But just then, with a weak voice, Ben suddenly called out, âMom, my hand hurts.ââ
Charlotte immediately lowered her head to look. She saw that the area where Ben was injured had swelled considerably, with even a purplish bruise forming around the joint â it looked extremely distressing.
With no time to waste on Joe, she hastily scooped Ben up and rushed toward the car.
At that moment, when she turned around, she didnât see that Joe discreetly pocketed something in his hand.
