How could Charlotte possibly marry that dandy? There must be some hidden agenda behind this!
The phone dialed out… The first time, it was hung up directly! The second time, it was still hung up! The third time, the phone was answered, but a sneer came through.
“Quentin, you wretched cur, why are you calling my wife?” It was Frank’s voice.
“Is Charlotte with you?” Quentin’s voice was filled with killing intent.
“Haha-” Frank laughed madly, “My wife is with me for sure. Let me warn you, Charlotte is mine from now on. If you dare to harass her again, I’ll make you pay the price!”
A dreadful killing intent rose from Quentin, “Did you use some means to threaten Charlotte?”
Frank laughed, the more furious Quentin became, the excited he got!
“It seems you’re not giving up! Fine! I’ll make you give up completely today!”
With that said, he handed the phone to Charlotte, who was sitting quietly beside him without saying a word.
He gave her a threatening look and whispered coldly in her ear, “You better watch what you say, otherwise… you know the consequences!”
Charlotte trembled.
Finding out it was Quentin calling, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. If it weren’t for this desperate situation… she would rather die than let Frank touch her even once! She would never marry him!
She stiffly took the phone, unable to face Quentin at all.
After a long time… Quentin finally spoke, “Charlotte?”
Hearing his hoarse voice, Charlotte trembled, tears streaming down her face…
“It’s me.” She tried to control her emotions, not letting herself cry.
“Is Frank forcing you?” Quentin’s voice was cold and stern.
“Quentin, don’t be naive, okay? Nobody is forcing me to do anything. It is my own choice! I’m tired! I don’t want to play with you anymore!”
Quentin’s heart ached.
“Why? I… I devoted myself to you wholeheartedly, you…”
“You can’t give me what I want! You don’t understand me! You have nothing! Compared to Frank, you’re good for nothing! Quentin, let’s end it here! From tomorrow, I’ll be Mrs. Duncan…”
“Please, don’t disturb me anymore!”
With that said, she was already in tears, trembling as she hung up the phone.
She couldn’t believe she could say such heartless words.
This time, she really hurt Quentin to the core!
She couldn’t even imagine if Quentin said such heartless words to her, whether she could bear it!
But, for the sake of the children, she had no choice!
She cried and closed her eyes…
“Hehe-”
Frank watched all this with a smirk on his face, took her phone, “Tsk tsk, so heartless… Well done!”
He pinched Charlotte’s chin with his fingers, snorted, “Don’t forget, those two bastards are still in the hands of those thugs. Don’t try any tricks on me.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t take the risk.” She smiled bitterly, “Do I have a choice now?”
“Haha-” Frank laughed twice, patted her face, “It’s good that you know; I like your attitude.”
“Tomorrow, before the wedding, I need to make sure the safety of the two children.” Charlotte said coldly, “Otherwise, I won’t agree to marry you.”
“Don’t worry.”
“I’m a person who keeps my word, as long as you don’t play tricks, I won’t break my promise.”
After saying that, Frank walked away with his hands behind his back, feeling proud. The wedding banquet tomorrow would be attended by various celebrities from Stresall, and there couldn’t be any mistakes. He wouldn’t allow any accidents!
Charlotte sat in the room, looking at her haggard self in the dressing table, thinking of the happy times of the family of four during this period. Then she remembered the heartless words she said to Quentin… it hurt so much she could barely breathe.
Her gaze fell on the eyebrow pencil on the table, her fingertips gently rubbing the sharp tip, her eyes drooping, carefully examining it…
In Holland Residence, Quentin, whose call was hung up, dropped his phone on the ground, feeling as if he had lost all his spirit in that instant.
Eileen watched this scene, feeling very distressed, “Sir, maybe, maybe there’s some reason behind Madam’s actions!”
Quentin smiled bitterly, “Reason? What reason could make her embrace someone else? What hurts me the most is that she never believed in me, preferring to believe that someone else could solve her problems, never willing to believe in me… forget it, forget it!”
“If that’s the case, I’ll let her go.”
Quentin closed his eyes in pain, memories of the past flashed before his eyes, all related to this woman… unforgettable!
After a while, he opened his eyes, two tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he said coldly, “Immediately summon Zaid for me, mobilize all our forces!”
“I’ll give him six hours! I want to see my children!”
His voice was filled with unquestionable majesty and dominance.
“Yes, sir.”
Zaid rushed over immediately and knelt before Quentin, “General Quincy, we’ve located the approximate position of those bandits!”
“We’ve also identified their identities! Now, all that’s left is their exact location!”
“General Quincy, I’ll immediately send someone to seal off that area!”
He dared not slack off in the slightest.
Quentin stood up tall, his eyes sharp as swords, “I’ll go myself.”
“Don’t alert them!”
