Chapter 245 The Truth For a long time, Stacy felt that she was so great.
It was not only because of her scheme that her daughter had lived a luxurious life since she was a child but also because she had helped Wendy hook up with a rich and powerful family so that she would not have to worry about it for the rest of her life.
But it was until today that she found that the more proud she was, the faster the retribution would come.
She thought that she had Wendy under control but did not expect that the other party was secretly plotting to kill her. She knew Wendy too well, and the resentment and killing intent in Wendyâs eyes were definitely not fake.
As for Joeâ¦
âDonât try to lie to me.â Seeing Stacy begin to look away, Joe suddenly said, âYou canât afford the consequences of lying.â
âCan you guarantee that you wonât take revenge on me?â Stacy gritted her teeth and made a decision.
âI want you to protect my son and me.â
âI can only guarantee that I wonât let Wendy do anything to you two,â Joe said indifferently.
Stacy thought for a moment and clenched her fists. âOkay! You Joe narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that he had come to the right place.
âActuallyâ¦â Stacy nervously swallowed. âWendy is not the girl you met back then. Her birthmark was tattooed later. Those experiences⦠I told her.â
After saying this with great difficulty, Stacy stole a glance at Joe.
She had thought that he would fly into a rage, but he remained calm.
For him, it was just a guess that had been confirmed in his heart.
âHow did you know the details?â Joe was not in a hurry to ask where the little girl was. Instead, he looked sharply at Stacy.
Stacy looked away and didnât dare to answer.
Joe crossed his hands on the table and looked deeply at Stacy. âYou cooperated with those kidnappers.â
Stacy was shocked, waved her hand in a panic, and said, âNo, no, I didnât do that!â
Joe was noncommittal. âIâve said it before. If you lie to me, your ending will be very miserable.â
Stacy trembled slightly. Of course, she knew how powerful Joe was. After all, none of the kidnappers came to a good end after being released from prison.
After a long time, she said with a sad face, âIâm really not their partner! I just⦠just⦠just want to send Charlotte out.â
âWhat?!â Joe straightened his body and glared at Stacy. âCharlotte?â
Stacy trembled all over. âYes. The little girl who was kidnapped with you was Charlotte.â
It was just a short sentence, but it exploded in his ears like a clap of thunder.
The person who was kidnapped with him was Charlotte!
Stacy didnât notice the change in Joeâs mood and continued talking.
When Stacy worked for the White Family as a servant, she found that this family was much better than that of the adoptive parents of Wendy, so she had long harbored evil intentions. But one time, she happened to hear the White couple talking about Charlotteâs family background, so she came up with an idea at that time.
If Charlotte was kidnapped, they would definitely pay a lot of money to save her. It didnât matter even if they didnât want to pay. Once Charlotte was in trouble, she could use this secret to threaten them to recognize Wendy as their daughter. In this way, not only could they take advantage of the opportunity to inherit Charlotteâs large fortune, but they could also shut everyone up.
