Chapter 120 Fell into a Stalemate
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Breathless, Charlotte rushed to the entrance of the
warehouse, pounding on the iron door, “I’m here. Open the door.”
The iron door creaked open, and Lily stood there with her hands crossed in front of her, her attitude as natural as if she were greeting guests, “Charlotte.”
In the dim and damp warehouse, three children were bound to chairs with ropes, each little face extremely pale.
Behind the children were seated five or six burly men, their gazes fixed unwaveringly on them as if they would immediately take action against the children at any movement they made.
Being cautious, David and Charlotte refrained from any reckless actions.
Charlotte stared at her with a cold expression, “We’re here. What do you intend to do?”
Lily pressed a dagger against her own l*ps, her eyes filled with
madness, “Didn’t I say? If you kowtow to me three times, I’ll release your children…”
“Oh, wait.” Lily’s l*ps curled into a smirk, “I’ll only release one child. Which one would you like me to release?”
Charlotte looked even gloomier. “I won’t make a choice. Let both of them go.”
Seeing their mother appear, Ben and Anna looked at her excitedly.
However, due to their concern for their mother’s safety from the bad guys, they both forcefully suppressed themselves, refraining from shouting out to her.
In an instant, Charlotte’s heart turned tender like water, wishing she could immediately rush forward and hug them, comforting them.
David glanced at Danny. He noticed Danny sitting there with a vacant expression as if he didn’t expect anyone to come and rescue him.
“Lily, you’ve already gone too far down this path. Don’t make it worse.” David approached gently, his voice warm. “Turn back now, and we can pretend like nothing has happened. Danny is also your child, isn’t he?”
Hearing these words, Lily burst into wild laughter. She pointed at Danny and said, “My child? Why don’t you ask him who his
real mother is?”
David’s face changed dramatically as he looked at Danny.
Danny averted his gaze, suddenly bursting into tears.
“Do you remember Maya Quinn?” Lily asked. “That foolish woman who was hopelessly in love with you secretly gave birth to your child. Unfortunately, she died at a young age, and I ended up benefiting from it.” Lily toyed with the dagger, pacing over to where Danny stood, and waved the blade near
his face.
David hadn’t expected such a revelation. He clenched his fists, forcibly suppressing his anger.
The icy edge of the blade brought a wave of coldness, frightening Danny into loud sobs. “Daddy, save me!”
“What do you want? I’ll promise you anything!” David’s heart tightened, and he shouted loudly.
Only then did Lily slowly retract the dagger, calmly saying, “Didn’t I tell you? I want to marry you!”
David instinctively glanced at Charlotte. Lily snorted coldly, and without warning, she cut a gash on Danny’s arm!
Charlotte was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Lily to act so urgently! She pinched the hidden weapon concealed in her sleeve, her expression becoming serious.
“Lily!” David shouted angrily, “You lunatic!”
Lily’s eyes were full of ruthlessness. She raised her hand, about to stab Danny again, but Charlotte had secretly retrieved a sleeve arrow and shot it toward Lily.
It was the weapon that Joe had given her earlier.
