As for calling the cops?
She really didn’t dare…
She couldn’t risk the lives of the two children.
If things escalated and a scene occurred… she would never forgive herself!
Seeing this, Nikolas couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, feeling a sense of satisfaction. “You’re getting what you deserve, aren’t you? Thought you were so capable and virtuous!”
But now you’re facing karma?
Nevertheless, he tried to console her, “Don’t be sad. Let’s think of a solution together. Let’s go back and ask the Pittman family for help…”
“However, fifty million… that’s no small sum…”
He let out a long sigh.
“Oh, I’ve got it!” Charlotte’s eyes lit up suddenly, as if she had found a savior. “Nikolas! Isn’t the Pittman family wealthy? They should be able to come up with fifty million, right?”
“Please…”
“Please…”
“Save Janessa and Theo…”
“In the future, I’ll do anything for the Pittman family to earn back the money! I’m begging you…”
Tears streamed down her face, “Without Theo and Janessa, we won’t be able to survive!”
Upon hearing this, Nikolas felt even more vindictive, but he managed to maintain a pained expression.
“Charlotte, don’t worry! After all, I’m their uncle! And… I also bear responsibility for this…”
“Let’s go back first. I’ll help you plead with Grandpa…”
The Pittman family.
News had already reached them.
Russell couldn’t help but smile confidently.
Everything was going according to his plan.
A few minutes later, Nikolas and Charlotte hurriedly entered. Charlotte looked panicked, her eyes red, completely devoid of her previous spirit.
She seemed lost and dejected.
Seeing her in such a state, the Pittman family members felt a sense of satisfaction!
Look who’s come crawling back now?
Russell suppressed his smug expression, not wanting to reveal his true intentions too soon.
“Why are you back?” he asked coldly, “didn’t you want to cut ties with the Pittman family? Weren’t you not going to listen to me? Get out-”
Plunk!
As soon as she stepped in, Charlotte’s knees gave out and she knelt down…
Hitting her head hard on the ground several times.
“Grandpa, please, save Janessa and Theo…”
“They’ve been kidnapped!”
Upon hearing this, Russell deliberately looked surprised, “This is not something you can come to me for help with. But they are at least my great-grandchildren.”
“I’ll call the police for you.”
“Let the sheriff handle it.”
At these words, Charlotte became frantic, “Don’t call the cops! Grandpa, they said… they said… if we do, they’ll hurt them directly…”
“Then what are you here for?” Russell snorted coldly.
“I… I wanted to ask the Pittman family for a loan, please… help me! Theo and Janessa are also part of our bloodline in the Pittman family…”
She begged, her eyes filled with helplessness and despair.
Fifty million!
Who else could she ask for money besides the Pittman family? If she had any other way, she wouldn’t have resorted to asking the Pittman family for this sum…
“Fifty million?” Russell’s face darkened, “Do you think the Pittman family’s money grows on trees? Taking out fifty million would ruin the entire Pittman family!”
“Absolutely not!”
“Charlotte, as the head of the family, I can’t let the Pittman family be in jeopardy.”
Russell spoke firmly, “Throw her out-”
“Get out!” Georgia, Lukas, and others glared angrily, driving her out.
Nikolas exchanged a glance and then knelt down as well, “Grandpa, this is all my fault. I also bear responsibility…”
“Help her find a solution!”
Russell’s eyes remained cold, “Nikolas, even if you plead, it’s useless. Call the cops and let the sheriff handle it.”
“We have no money to give!”
His heartless words pierced Charlotte’s heart like a knife… in that moment, her face turned terrifyingly pale!
Seeing the opportune moment, Maverick stepped forward and said, “Charlotte, the Pittman family will never pay to redeem those two bastards.”
“But in your pitiful state, I can offer you some guidance.”
