Her words struck a nerve with Luna who collapsed to the ground and buried her face in tears.

“So that's how it is,” Simon lamented. “Sigh, Timothy has been taken away by the Sterlings and I have not seen him in a long time.”

Looking gloomy, Amanda quickly got her wits about her and sneered, “Do you think I'm a fool? Who do you think Mr. Nacht is? If he really wants to find out, do you think you can even hide it?”

“I...”

“Forget it, whatever reason you have to keep it a secret is none of my business,” Amanda asserted coldly. “As long as you can get us out of here safely, we'll keep our mouths shut.”

“You really are smart, Aunt Amanda.”

Charlotte acknowledge Amanda's capabilities with a sigh.

Amanda realized that even if they revealed the children's existence, Zachary still wouldn't forgive them.

But, one word from Charlotte and their family would be left to rot in the freezing cold room that no one knew about.


“Don't worry. Now that you're Zachary's woman, who would dare harm you?” Assuming that Charlotte was still hesitating, Amanda added, “We just want to leave this place safely and have no other demands.”

“You are overestimating me. Can't you see I'm locked in here together with you?” Charlotte bemoaned as she sat on the sofa. “His mood can be so volatile that even I can't get a good grasp of it.”
Her words struck a nerve with Luna who collapsed to the ground and buried her face in tears.

“He will definitely let you out,” Amanda asserted confidently. “By that time, I'm sure you know what to do.”

Charlotte ignored her and stared daggers at Luna instead. “Did you really send men to abduct my children?”

“What?” Amanda's eyes widened in shock. “Luna, you sent men to kidnap the kids?”

With a glint in her eye, Luna lowered her head in silence.

“Are you crazy?” Amanda yelled angrily. “Those are Zachary's kids. If he finds out about it, he will kill us!”

“Who knows for sure?” Luna glared coldly at Charlotte. “If they are really his children, she would have revealed it long ago. Why does she even need to be so secretive?”

“I find it strange too.” Simon questioned, “Charlotte, are those children really Zachary's?”

Ignoring them, Charlotte tapped on her phone anxiously to call Michael and verify her children's safety.

However, there was so signal at all.

“This is a secret room where all signals have been cut off. You won't be able to get through.” Amanda grabbed Charlotte. “Be honest with me. Is Zachary the father?”

“It's none of your business!” Charlotte pushed her away.

Outraged, Amanda gritted her teeth and scolded Luna, “You stupid girl, how many times do I have to tell you not to act impulsively? Why do you always have to do something stupid without my knowledge?”
