"You just wait here for ."
After entering the apartnt lobby with Justin Battleson, Charlotte Thompson’s fingertips brushed gently against his palm.
"That woman looks to be in an unstable ntal state; I should accompany you."
The apartnt building where Justin and Charlotte were now located belonged to the Ross Family, and they had co to visit soone.
It was Raina Richard, who had caused a scene at the Ross family banquet not long ago.
An apartnt in this building had been prepared by Mr. Ross for Raina, and after the banquet, he had soone take her back here.
However, unlike last ti, Mr. Ross hadn’t ordered secret surveillance; instead, he had arranged for Raina to be directly guarded.
There was, after all, the precedent of her previous escape attempt.
"It’s fine, there are Ross Family people here, and that woman won’t harm ," Charlotte shook her head, comforting Justin.
"Moreover, she might beco even more agitated if she sees us."
To Raina, after all, both Justin and Charlotte were the people who had taken her child away.
Justin wanted to add sothing, but Charlotte got on her toes and kissed his cheek.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. We are both mothers of the child, so talking should be easier, and besides, with your face always so stern, what if you scare her?"
She then raised her hand to poke at the spot she had just kissed, with a smile brimming on her face.
Justin captured Charlotte’s teasing fingertips, pressing them to his lips with a kiss, his eyes reflecting a touch of helplessness.
"I’ll co up with you and wait outside the door. If anything happens, just call imdiately."
Charlotte didn’t refuse, and they headed together to Raina’s room.
Outside the room stood two black-clad bodyguards keeping watch, who allowed Charlotte and Justin to pass without obstruction as Mr. Ross had given prior notice.
"Call imdiately if anything happens," Justin instructed once more at the doorway.
Charlotte let go of Justin’s hand, nodded at him, and then entered the room.
It was a one-bedroom apartnt, fully furnished, but inside it was completely disheveled, with many items strewn about the floor.
After entering, Charlotte only stood at the doorway, and as she looked up, she saw the person curled up on the couch.
"Let out!"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Raina beca agitated, perhaps thinking soone from the Ross Family had co, so without even looking at the door, she had already started shouting.
But as she got up and turned her head, she saw that it was Charlotte standing at the entrance.
This made Raina’s expression instantly sour.
"It’s you!" Raina pointed at Charlotte and yelled loudly.
Her voice was piercingly shrill and hoarse from screaming, hitting Charlotte’s ears painfully and causing her to frown with discomfort.
Raina abruptly stood up from the couch, intending to confront Charlotte, but the clutter on the floor nearly caused her to stumble and fall.
She kicked away the objects at her feet in a frenzy and then rushed toward Charlotte recklessly, even trying to grab onto her.
"You’re a bad person, the bad person who took my child, give back my child!"
