Catching sight of someone out of the corner of her eye, Charlotte felt incredibly guilty. She had intended to keep playing, but after a while, she couldn't stand the man's gaze and stopped. "Mr. Romero, is there something you need?"
Leandro stood by the piano, his head slightly lowered, his dark eyes staring straight at her: "Have you been avoiding me lately?"
When he said this, his voice didn't fluctuate at all, only the end tone was slightly heavier, as if he was just asking a simple question.
Charlotte's heart trembled, uncontrollably, she remembered that indescribable dream again, and her face instantly flushed red.
She steeled herself, pretending to be calm as she met Leandro's gaze: "Oh, really? I have a charity performance tomorrow. I've been practicing this piece recently..."
Leandro's hand, resting on the piano, tapped lightly. He didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, "Do we still have the candy from that day?"
"Huh?"

Lydia has never been as pleased as she is today. "Charlotte has finally fallen into her hands," she thought. Now she wants to see how far Charlotte will go for her father!"You brought my dad here just to lure me here. If you don't release my dad, I'm leaving now.""Do you think you can just come and go as you please?"After Lydia finished speaking, she raised her hand and clapped, and the door behind Charlotte and Leandro suddenly closed.The light was dim inside this old house, but that didn't stop Charlotte from seeing Lydia clearly."Don't even think about leaving here today, Charlotte!"Charlotte took another look at Greyson and said, "You can't let me go, but you can let my dad and Leandro go.""You can't even take care of yourself, Charlotte. And you still want to take care of your dad? Hahaha!"Lydia suddenly burst out laughing, then walked up to Charlotte.She reached out to touch Charlotte, but Leandro immediately stopped her, saying, "Don't touch her!"Lydia's hand was push
When she came over, she acted all cool, but Charlotte knew, Lydia was just trying to stir up trouble.She did this without thinking about her own way out.Lydia cut off all her retreat, how could she have a way out?She couldn't say those words, and the ones she did say, Leandro definitely wouldn't let her in."Lottie, listen to me."He interrupted her directly, Charlotte bit her lip, "Okay."Landen and Bradley got in touch with the right people over there, and Leandro's people also came over here, but Lydia didn't have much time to discuss with them.Landen and Bradley had Leandro accompany Charlotte to stabilize Lydia first. After they had their people in position, everyone tried to cooperate as much as possible.After agreeing on several specific gestures, Charlotte and Leandro went inside.Although there were people living here, the factory was built at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by desolation. When you go out, it's just a big road, not even a supermarket.So most of the
"Lottie, I couldn't just watch you go in alone."Bradley and Landen were still in touch with contacts to find out what was going on over here, hoping to get a look at the blueprints of the abandoned factory to plan the rescue mission."I couldn't see you either because I was in danger."The two of them were at a standstill, in the past Leandro always gave in to her, except for this one thing.Time passed by minute by minute, Lydia seemed to be counting the time, and then her phone rang again.Charlotte bit her lip and answered the phone.Still outside: "I've arrived at the place you mentioned, where are you?""Were you alone? Did you call the police?""No alarm."Charlotte didn't answer her first question.Lydia seemed to have guessed it already and smiled, "Leandro came with you, right? Your husband really cares about you, coming to this place with you during the New Year. Since you have such a good relationship, just come together."As we went on, Lydia's voice got weird: "Just keep
Charlotte was looking at her phone screen when Lydia's text came in quickly. It was an address, but it didn't look like a good place.Landen frowned and said, "This seems to be an abandoned factory."Lydia arranged to meet here, trying not to show her intentions too clearly, obviously planning to take action against Charlotte.She didn't hide at all, and she wasn't afraid of Charlotte calling the police.But now Greyson is in her hands, Charlotte and her team are indeed a bit more passive.Leandro's face turned cold and a bit scary, he knew that if Charlotte passed, no matter how careful the plan was, she would still get hurt.He didn't want Charlotte to go, but Greyson was with Lydia.This was the first time Leandro ever thought about skinning someone alive. He sat there, not saying a word to stop Charlotte.Landen saw that he didn't speak, gave him a glance, noticed his gloomy expression, and couldn't help but pause for a moment.But Landen could understand, didn't say anything.Dwa
With Charlotte's understanding of Lydia, she wasn't as panicked anymore.Lydia took Greyson away, probably to force her to show up.Her ultimate goal was still her, Charlotte.Thinking about this, Charlotte became even calmer."But she's a bit crazy, so we can't act recklessly. Right now, we just need to find out where she might be as soon as possible."Charlotte knew that Lydia's target was her, but she had no idea where Lydia was or what was going on with Greyson.What's more, Greyson had just had surgery less than half a year ago, his body was just recovering. If Lydia drove Greyson crazy, that would be the last thing Charlotte was afraid of.Bradley naturally has connections in this area, "I made a call and asked for help to check it out."Paityn saw Charlotte's face turn pale, she handed her a glass of water and said, "Lottie, don't worry, your dad will be fine."Charlotte pursed her lips, looking at Paityn with slightly red eyes.Paityn was looking at her like that, it made her
"Orion, you don't have to cook for us anymore, we're heading over to Uncle Dwayne's place."Dwayne retired and came back to live in his old villa. It's a bit far from the city center.Charlotte and Leandro went back to the Romero's villa and then headed to the Moyer's residence. By the time they arrived, it was already dinner time.Landen opened the door, Charlotte smiled and said, "Dad didn't come home, so I came to find him."Landen heard Charlotte's words and furrowed his brow slightly, "My uncle went back last night, he's not here with us."Paityn also heard Charlotte's voice in the restaurant, thinking that Charlotte came to wish her a happy new year, so she stood up and walked over, saying, "Lottie, why did you come over? Didn't you say you were going back to your dad's?"Charlotte had a bad feeling. "Aunt Paityn, Happy New Year. We just came from my dad's place," Orion said my dad hasn't come home yet.""How come? Your dad went back last night."Last night, Greyson and Dwayne h
