Chapter 940 Charles Can't Wait
Charles screamed in pain.
Scarlett yanked Charles' hair even harder than before, "Charles, you have grown up and learned to lie to me! What a bad boy!"
Charles' whole body trembled, "N-no."
Scarlett threw her head back and laughed, "No? You still dare to say no? Do you really think I don't know what has happened to the Melville family these past few years? Alex wasn't even at home, he ran away with Sophia! Did that bitch Katherine think she could live happily ever after with Alex just because she took him from me? And what happened? She ended up staying alone at the Melville family for years! She deserved it! Deserved it!"
Charles felt like his hair was going to be pulled out, his scalp hurt so much it was almost numb, "I-it hurts."
Scarlett didn't show any pity for Charles and pulled even tighter, "Let it hurt! This is your punishment for lying to me, understand? Let's see if you dare to lie to me again in the future!"
While Charles was being terrorized by Scarlett, Alex and Katherine's car arrived at the riverside dock.
At night, the dock was deserted, and there was no road ahead.
The location was right here!
Alex and Katherine got out of the car and looked around, finding no clues.
Katherine gasped, looking at the vast river, "After calling home, that person must have thrown the phone into the river from here."
Alex agreed, turning to look at Katherine, "We can keep investigating. If the person took Charles, it's either for money or another purpose. He won't really hurt Charles before achieving his goal."
Katherine was really worried, "What does that person want?"
She seemed unable to stand, slowly squatting down by the river, covering her face and crying.
Although Charles was the oldest of the four children, he was actually very sensitive and the most timid.
Charles had been abused by Scarlett when he was young, leaving deep psychological scars, often waking up from nightmares. It got better as he grew older, but now he was kidnapped again, how scared he must be!
Alex also squatted down, frowning with concern as he held her in his arms, "Don't cry, I will definitely find Charles safe and sound."
Katherine sobbed, suddenly realizing something important, and looked up sharply, "Scarlett! Could it be Scarlett?"
Alex's expression froze, "Her?"
Katherine tightly grabbed Alex's arm, "Yes, Fiona said she saw Scarlett recently, and Frank also found out that Scarlett was indeed released! It's very likely she had someone take Charles! Quick, let's go to the Mitchell family!"
Saying this, Katherine immediately got up and hurriedly ran to the car.
Alex, with a grim expression, didn't ask much and also got into the car, turning around and leaving the riverside dock, heading to the Mitchell family.
The Mitchell family.
Today was Edwin's discharge day, and the Mitchell family had dinner together in the evening before each went to their rooms to rest.
Hellen and Vincent went to bed early, Edwin's body hadn't recovered yet, so he also went to his room to rest early.
Sunny, although energetic, ran back to his room to call and chat with Ambrosia.
The living room wall lamp was still on, Bernard sat alone on the couch, smoking a cigarette, having sent the servants to rest, wanting to sit alone for a while.
The cigarette burned steadily, wisps of smoke spiraling upwards, but Bernard hadn't taken many puffs, lost in thought.
From the floor-to-ceiling window, he could see the large iron gate of the house, a strong light shone in, hitting Bernard's eyes!
It was a car's high beam!
Who would visit so late? Bernard frowned in displeasure, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and the phone on the table rang.
Glancing at it casually, Bernard's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to answer the call!
"Hello? Katherine, what's up?"
Katherine's voice came from the other end, "Open the gate!"
Bernard raised an eyebrow, "Wait, I'll have someone open the gate right away!"
Talking to Katherine on the phone, Bernard had already gotten up and walked out, instructing the two servants on duty in the yard to open the gate.
As soon as the Mitchell family's large iron gate opened, Alex drove the car in, stopping in front of Bernard.
Katherine quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and hurriedly questioned Bernard, "Where is Scarlett?"
Bernard was puzzled by Katherine's question, "Scarlett? Isn't she still in prison? Why are you suddenly asking about her?"
Katherine was too anxious, grabbing Bernard's clothes, "She has been released, don't you know? You used to dote on her so much, how could you not know where she is? Tell me; where is she?"
Bernard had never seen Katherine so frantic, even if he didn't know what had happened, he could tell something was wrong!
He raised his hand to calm Katherine down, then turned to look at Alex, who had just gotten out of the car, and asked, "What's going on? Why are you looking for her so late?"
Alex's expression was severe, "Someone kidnapped Charles today, we suspect it is related to Scarlett, who was recently released on parole."
"What? Charles was kidnapped?" Bernard's expression tightened, finally understanding why Katherine was so anxious, "Katherine, who told you Scarlett was released on parole? I didn't know about this!"
Katherine's voice was hoarse, "Fiona saw her a while ago, and Frank also checked, confirming she was released early for good behavior!"
Bernard frowned deeply, this was different from what he had heard.
All along, he had been told that Scarlett was initially unruly in prison, then often pretended to be sick and lazy, never settling down.
The prison officers, knowing she was the Mitchell family's daughter, didn't dare to punish her too harshly, and only complained to him when they couldn't handle her, asking for guidance.
He had told them not to be lenient with Scarlett, to treat her like any other prisoner, and only then was Scarlett disciplined for a while!
With such behavior, how could she have been released early for good behavior?
The strangest thing was, he hadn't received any news about Scarlett's early release.
"Katherine, you and Alex come inside, give me some time, I'll confirm whether Scarlett is still in prison and when she was released, then I'll get back to you, okay?"
Katherine was very anxious, "Hurry up! I can wait, but Charles can't afford to!"
