Chapter 121 A Critical Moment
Lily hadn’t expected that Charlotte had a weapon in her hand. Caught off guard, she was hit by the crossbow bolt Charlotte had shot.
She let out a miserable scream as the dagger in her hand dropped to the ground.
The few strong men behind her were taken aback, and Lily scolded them loudly, “Are you all blind? Come help me!”
The men hurried forward to catch the children, but at that moment, Joe took advantage of the opportunity outside the warehouse. With a command, the b*dyguards burst in through the windows.
These criminals had never encountered such a situation. In their moment of shock, they were quickly subdued by the b*dyguards.
Seizing the opportunity, Charlotte and David hurriedly moved forward to free the children from their bindings.
At this moment, Lily took out a remote control-like device from her hand and shouted, “Stop!”
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
Ignoring the pain in her arm, Lily sneered as she looked at Charlotte, “I told you earlier. This warehouse is filled with bombs underground. We can all go to hell!”
Her eyes flickered with madness, and this appearance truly intimidated everyone present.
David stepped forward, “Don’t be impulsive! Let’s talk things out!”
Lily burst into laughter, “I said I want to become your wife! Right now, immediately, marry me and get the marriage certificate! I know what the Johnson Family can do.”
“Alright!”
David agreed without hesitation, “As long as you let the children go, I’ll marry you.”
Lily narrowed her eyes with danger in them as if considering his words.
After a moment, she smiled, “Three children, I can only let go of two. You decide.”
David grew furious, “I won’t choose! Either let all three of them go, and I marry you, or we all die together!”
His resolute stance made Lily hesitate instead.
She looked at Charlotte on the side and grinned, “Charlotte, if you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I’ll let go of the three children. How about that?”
David became even angrier, about to say something, when he saw Charlotte give him a signal with her eyes.
At this moment, speaking up for her would only agitate Lily further. If she actually triggered the bombs…
They couldn’t afford to take this risk.
Just then, Charlotte suddenly spotted Joe quietly positioning himself on the second floor of the warehouse.
Joe subtly shifted to the side, revealing the sniper rifle in his hands.
Their gazes met, and Charlotte understood his intention.
In the past, Joe had been very interested in shooting, even obtaining several relevant certificates. His marksmanship skills were exceptional.
He was all set, just waiting for Charlotte to draw Lily’s full
attention.
With this in mind, Charlotte took a step forward, mockingly looking at Lily, “Apart from targeting children, do you have any other skills? Even if you see me as a thorn in your side, you only dare to threaten me with bombs. You’re truly pitiful.”
As expected, Lily was furious!
She raised her hand to strike Charlotte, but a gunshot rang
out at that moment.
The bullet pierced through Lily’s hand, holding the remote. control, shattering the device.
Lily was hit, too, screaming in pain as she clutched her hand and fell to the ground.
Charlotte didn’t spare her even a single glance. She hurriedly moved forward to free the two children from their bindings, tightly embracing them in her arms.
“Ben, Anna, don’t be scared. Mommy is here. Mommy will protect you,” Charlotte said, gently comforting the two
children as she stroked their heads.
Only then did Ben and Anna dare to cry, holding onto Charlotte’s neck tightly and refusing to let go.
