Charlotte was taken aback by his words.
Maverick cleared his throat and calmly stated, “Our Pittman family doesn’t have any money, but the Duncan family does. Mr. Duncan is deeply in love with you. It’s just a small matter for him to come up with tens of millions for you.”
“This is something that only Mr. Duncan can help you with. Of course, if you don’t care about their lives, you can continue to maintain your cheap dignity.”
Charlotte’s eyes narrowed, her heart suddenly hit hard.
Russell waved his hand indifferently, “Get her out of here. How it’s handled is up to her. Let her make her own choice, so we don’t get accused of taking advantage of the situation. Since she’s so stubborn, let her experience the feeling of being penniless for herself!”
Several members of the Pittman family came forward and drove Charlotte out, ignoring her pleas completely. As they looked at her with indifference and a hint of schadenfreude, Charlotte’s heart turned completely cold.
“What should I do?”
“What do I do now?”
Charlotte staggered to her feet at the entrance of the Pittman family, her eyes filled with fear and despair, wandering aimlessly in the street…
After hesitating for a moment, she finally dialed Quentin’s number.
“Hello, what’s wrong?” Quentin’s calm voice came from the other end.
“I…” Charlotte struggled to speak but couldn’t. Fifty million! How could she bring herself to ask for it…
And even if she did ask, could Quentin come up with fifty million?
“You don’t need to worry, I have taken care of it and we will find them very soon,” Quentin tried to remain calm and reassuring.
“You-!” Hearing this, Charlotte became extremely anxious, “Did you call the police?”
Quentin explained, “I didn’t call the police, I instructed people from other departments…”
“Stop immediately! Stop everything!” Charlotte’s emotions were running high, “Are you not concerned about Theo and Janessa at all? What if you push them too far!”
Upon hearing Charlotte’s uncontrollable shouting, Quentin suppressed his own impatience and patiently reassured her, “This is the best way to resolve the situation for now!”
“In any case, I will not allow my children to be in any danger! Quentin, you stop your little schemes immediately!”
“This is my children, even if you don’t care, I do!”
Upon hearing this, Quentin also became somewhat annoyed, “What do you mean by that? And, what do those kidnappers want?”
“Nothing,” Charlotte spoke despondently, “What they want, can you afford it? Are you willing to give it?”
After speaking, she hung up the phone and crouched on the roadside, covering her face with her hands, sobbing bitterly…
Finally, she took a taxi back to the rental house alone.
“Charlotte, how is the children?” Emma and Emery anxiously approached to support her, their faces full of concern.
After Rashad received the news, he hurried back, “Sis! Those people suddenly kidnapped the two children. What do they want?”
Charlotte’s face turned as white as a sheet.
She shook her head and sat on the sofa.
After a dozen seconds of silence, she spoke with parched lips, “They… want fifty million.”
As soon as they heard this, everyone’s faces went pale!
“Fifty million!” Emma exclaimed, staring blankly at the sofa, “We should call the police…”
“We can’t call the police!” Charlotte panicked, “I… I’m afraid they will hurt the children! Let me think of a way to get this fifty million…”
But coming up with fifty million within three days was simply impossible!
She despaired, burying her head in her knees, sobbing quietly and biting her red lip…
