“Daddy, Daddy-”
Joe was already scared stiff. “They, they took away those two brats…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Daddy’s here.” Nikolas comforted him.
Joe trembled. “Luckily they only took those two brats, they didn’t take me as well. I’m really lucky.”
Nikolas said calmly, “It’s okay.”
He quickly dialed Charlotte’s phone, his voice urgent. “Charlotte, it’s bad, two kids, they… they’ve been kidnapped!”
“What?” Charlotte was stunned, then realized the next moment, “You’re talking about Janessa and Theo?”
“That’s right!”
Charlotte’s vision darkened, and suddenly, anger surged through her. “Nikolas! What’s going on?”
“You come over first, I’ll explain it to you later, I’m not far from Sloburg Kindergarten.”
Charlotte was filled with anxiety, stepping on the gas pedal and speeding in that direction…
The two kids had been kidnapped, how could she stay calm?
Charlotte could see a crowd gathered from afar, and Nikolas standing next to the car, his face covered in blood flowing down his cheeks…
The front of the car was dented, and there were several footprints on him.
It was a mess…
She immediately stopped the car, her pretty face filled with anxiety and anger as she walked up to Nikolas, her voice carrying fury, “You’d better give me an explanation!”
“How could my children be kidnapped? What the hell are you up to?”
“Get my kids back!”
Charlotte’s eyes turned bloodshot, her pretty face also showing a hint of madness.
This made Nikolas a bit fearful as well.
Indeed, when it came to the children, this woman was a lunatic!
But all of this had nothing to do with him. It wasn’t him who kidnapped the kids.
“I… I don’t know either! Today, when I saw that you hadn’t picked them up yet, I thought you were busy, so I helped out and picked them up.”
“Now that you’ve become the big shot in our Pittman family, we’re all counting on you for a meal. I’ve already figured it out, trying to please you.”
“I never expected something like this to happen… I’m also clueless!”
He looked quite aggrieved, “Look, even my head is busted open…”
Seeing him like this, Charlotte’s anger flared even more, “You’re never this kind-hearted usually! How come the first time you come to pick them up, something happened to them? Nikolas… You better not be up to something!”
The fury in Charlotte’s eyes seemed like it could erupt at any moment.
Nikolas was angry. “You think I wanted to pick them up? If it wasn’t for grandpa asking me to please you, I wouldn’t care about those two guys. You suspect me! You treat my kindness as nothing!”
“Great! Really great!”
“Ask everyone present, I almost got killed trying to get them back! And you actually suspect me? Great!”
Nikolas looked indignant.
Seeing him like this, Charlotte was also a bit stunned. Perhaps, this really had nothing to do with him? This guy probably didn’t have the guts for it.
“Let’s call the police first,” Charlotte said in a fluster.
“Hold on!” Nikolas immediately put his hand on hers, “Let’s first assess the situation!”
“If you call the police now, won’t it put the two kids in even more danger?”
“In this situation, we don’t know if the kidnappers want money or something else. If you immediately call the police, won’t it force them to take drastic measures?”
“Let’s assess the situation before making a decision.”
He didn’t dare tell Charlotte not to call the police, so he could only try to persuade her this way.
Under his influence, Charlotte also became a bit at a loss.
“What should we do then?”
“Let’s go and see if there are any surveillance cameras around, if we can find any trace of the kidnappers, let’s gather as much information as we can first.”
Charlotte was frantic, tears almost welling up. Why were her children so unlucky, always encountering such things?
Her first thought was Quentin, after thinking for a moment, she decided to give him a call.
Quentin answered after a few seconds of silence, “What’s wrong?”
“The children, the children have been kidnapped!”
