Chapter 119 You’d Better Come Back Safe and Sound
After hanging up, Charlotte glanced at Joe and David.
Both of them instantly understood her thoughts and almost simultaneously protested, “No, you can’t go
in.”
Joe even grabbed her wrist in frustration, “Apart from seeking death, what’s the point of your actions?
Do you really think she will spare the two kids because of this?”
Charlotte calmly looked at Joe and gradually pulled her hand away, “I can go in with hidden
surveillance devices to locate
the bombs.”
Although Charlotte didn’t understand why Lily suddenly went mad, her intense hostility would likely lead
her to let Charlotte

“I’ll go.” David suddenly stepped forward, his gaze heavy on Charlotte. “A few days ago, I had a heated

expect her to make such a scene.”
He turned his head towards the direction of the warehouse,
“Besides, she wants to marry me. Your presence won’t help.”
Charlotte shook her head, but the phone rang at that
moment. Lily’s voice came through the receiver with a hint of amusement, “So, have you decided
whether to agree to my demands?”
David snatched the phone, his tone icy, “We’re in a remote suburb. How can I marry you? Why don’t
you come out first, and then we can…”
Before he could finish, Lily burst into manic laughter, “David! When you left me back then, you also
used these words to deceive me. But what happened later? You never showed up again!”
Her voice grew sharp and piercing, “I won’t trust you again! Charlotte, David! Neither of you can be
missing. Both of you, come in!”
As soon as her words fell, slapping sounds echoed from inside, followed by the sobbing of Anna and
Ben, “Mom…”
At that moment, a murderous intent took hold in Charlotte’s heart.
She gripped the weapon tightly in her hand, wishing she could rush in right away and kill Lily, holding
the two children close to her.
But she couldn’t.
Dark red blood dripped from her palm to the ground. Seeing this, Joe quickly pulled her hand away,
“Are you out of your mind?”
Hearing his voice, Charlotte suddenly felt a surge of clarity.
She tightly held Joe’s hand and spoke into the phone, “Lily, I have no problem entering, but the children
are innocent. Those two kids aren’t David’s; they’re Joe’s! Joe’s their father!”
Joe’s pupils contracted suddenly, looking at Charlotte in disbelief.
However, the present Charlotte paid no heed to his thoughts. She was focused on explaining to Lily, “I

our mistakes, so I chose to give birth to them! You’ve been an unwed mother before. You
should understand…”
Lily sneered and interrupted her, “What are you talking about? I’ve never been an unwed mother.”
“What?” Charlotte’s words were abruptly cut off, and she
stared at David in astonishment. David seemed equally taken aback.
“Don’t waste time! I don’t care whose kids they are. If you don’t come in, I’ll give them a little injury.” Her
tone turned light and dangerous, “I’ll give you three minutes. One minute late, and I’ll cut a small mark
on their little arms…”
Before Lily could finish, Charlotte snatched the walkie-talkie
from the captain of the security team and sprinted toward the warehouse entrance.
David followed closely behind, but Joe remained rooted to the spot, his brows furrowed. “Make sure
they’re all in position. If any unfavorable situation arises, they should act immediately.”
The words Charlotte had just said to Lily echoed in his mind, and he unconsciously pulled out a
cigarette and lit it.
You’d better come back safe and sound, Charlotte.
