Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: The Person Behind You
There are some things about Charlotte Thompson that perhaps Charlotte herself wouldn’t care about.
But her children are Charlotte’s bottom line.
If anyone tried to touch, even break this bottom line, Charlotte would never let them off the hook, no matter what.
"You... stop spouting nonsense here, I just want to get my sons back. I had no choice but to abandon them before, but now I regret it, I want to take them back and raise them."
Raina Richard was breathing heavily, the violent rise and fall of her chest revealing her inner panic.
"Nonsense? Where do you think I’m spouting nonsense? Saying that you’re not Jack and Chad’s biological mother, claiming that you’re not approaching them for money, or perhaps suggesting that you weren’t a surrogate?"
The light in the room was bright as Charlotte stood in the somewhat cluttered guest room, gazing down on Raina Richard from her superior position.
At this moment, she held absolute dominance.
"I... I..."
Raina Richard’s gaze started to dodge; she couldn’t bear to look at Charlotte anymore.
Yet just then, Charlotte stepped forward and abruptly grabbed Raina Richard’s wrist, forcibly pulling up her arm.
Raina Richard was startled, but couldn’t break free from Charlotte’s vice-like grip.
Raina Richard’s arm was forced upward, the sleeve sliding down to reveal her scar-laden skin.
"Then who is responsible for these scars on your body?"
Charlotte was here precisely to ask about these.
Initially, Charlotte had planned on speaking amicably with Raina Richard, but seeing her become so unstable at the sight of her, Charlotte saw no need to keep up appearances.
She naturally wanted to inquire about what she wanted to know now.
Charlotte also faintly picked up on a flash of fear that crossed Raina Richard’s eyes upon seeing the scars on her arm.
"It’s the Ross family’s doing. They want me to give up the children. When I refused, they kept hitting me, forcing me to submit," Raina Richard said through gritted teeth. "Isn’t that the kind of tactic you rich people are used to?"
"Lies," Charlotte punctured Raina Richard’s claims without mercy.
"These injuries are old. How many days have you been with the Ross family?"
Charlotte released Raina Richard, who immediately backed away, distancing herself from Charlotte.
"Just like you said, we rich people are used to employing these methods, but Mr. Ross is different. He disdains such actions. However, if you anger him, there’s only one outcome."
Charlotte mercilessly implicated Mr. Ross with an undeserved accusation.
"Are you threatening me, trying to make me give up my children?"
Cold sweat streamed down Raina Richard’s face, but she dared not wipe it away.
"If you want money, I can give you that, but if you think you can use the children to get money, I will never let you off the hook. Just because you don’t speak of certain things, doesn’t mean I won’t find out."
Charlotte patted her arm and turned away, leaving Raina Richard with one last sentence.
"If you want to play this game, then I’ll see it through to the end. We’ll just see if the person behind you will actually protect you."
With these words from Charlotte, the panic in Raina Richard’s eyes became more pronounced.
Raina Richard shook her head and in the next instant stood up from the ground, lunging towards Charlotte, but the bodyguard outside the door had already stopped her.
"I just want my children back. You’re a demon tearing apart our family of three, but I will never submit!"
