They thought it was Frank''s unbearable temperament that had angered Senno. They even imagined how satisfying it would be to see Frank dead. Once that happened, they could take the Shaw family''s assets from Charlotte and then eliminate her. It would be a double celebration.


    But what they saw was Frank pointing a gun at Senno. It waspletely the other way around. The atmosphere by the shore was tense. Only Frank, the cause of the situation, stood rxed with one hand in his pocket. Yet beneath that calm exterior, he was on high alert, especially not having seen Charlotte.


    "I''ll ask you one more time, where is she?"


    Senno raised his hand, signaling everyone to lower their guns. Frank was difficult to conquer, which only made people want to conquer him more.


    "I''ll take you to her."


    Senno returned to his usual self, smiling as he led Frank into the forest, not caring about the gun in his hand. After all, Frank wouldn''t casually kill him without first finding that woman.


    What Senno didn''t realize was that Frank''s shot was just a signal for Kanby''s people. He could easily deal with Senno and then go find Charlotte. However, he needed to ensure the n''s integrity and extricate himself from the chaos without leaving any trace behind. He couldn''t be a husband stained with blood, nor a father like that.


    I was threatened by Jack to eat, but a few minutester, I threw everything up. This time, he didn''t offer me water or show concern. Instead, he grabbed me and took me to the back of the wooden cabin, where a helicopter was waiting. The urgency felt off. I was increasingly certain that the earlier gunshot was rted to Frank.


    I couldn''t leave this ce. If I did, it would be nearly impossible for Frank to find me again. I immediately clutched my stomach and leaned against a tree. "I feel unwell."


    Jack''s expression was dark and indifferent as he reached for me, but I clung tightly to the tree trunk. The bark was rough and dry. If he pulled too hard, I would definitely get hurt.


    "Charlotte," Jack said helplessly, gazing at me. "Do you really not want toe with me?"


    "..." I instinctively protected my stomach, unwilling to leave but afraid of provoking him. "Jack... I..."


    I was still weighing my words when I heard a whoosh by my feet.


    "Get your dirty hands off her!"


    Hearing that familiar voice made my tears uncontroble.


    "Frank!"


    I watched him step closer, trying to break free from Jack''s grip to run to him. But Jack''s hand was like a vise, my wrist ached, and I couldn''t escape.


    As Frank approached and saw the red marks on my skin, he raised his gun. Jack pulled me in front of him, his voice dark. "Go ahead, try shooting me."This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Jack was acting as if he had lost his mind, he only wanted to take me away, and everything else was


    irrelevant. His eyes were filled with malice. "Senno, didn''t I tell you not to use Charlotte in exchange for


    him?"


    Senno shrugged. "I''m being threatened too, can''t you see that?"


    Jack sneered, clearly not believing a word of it. This was Senno''s long-held territory, there was no way Frank could threaten him.


    Jack spoke calmly, "Come out, everyone"


    Suddenly, many people emerged from the forest, surrounding them. I was still struggling to break free from Jack to reach Frank. But Frank frowned slightly and shook his head subtly.
