Chapter 1181 Charles Is the Final Winner
When Tina saw Charles, her first instinct was to shield Austin behind her. "Austin, get outta here! I'll handle this."
Before she could even finish, Charles's bodyguards had them surrounded.
Charles glanced at Tina and Austin, raising an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
He quickly regained his composure.
He didn't waste any time, his focus was on finding Hannah. Suddenly, a door nearby opened, and there stood Hannah, her eyes red from crying. "Charles."
Charles rushed over and pulled Hannah into a tight embrace.
He held her so tightly, it was as if he wanted to merge her into his very being. "I finally found you. I was so scared I'd be too late."
This place was so remote.
Even with a tracker, it couldn't map out a route for them, and they had gotten lost!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken so long to get here.
The familiar scent of mint filled Hannah's nose.
Her heart finally settled.
She clung tightly to Charles's waist, nuzzling into his chest, excitedly saying, "I told you, before you came, I would protect myself! I won't make you worry anymore."
Charles kissed her forehead deeply. "Yeah, I know you will keep your promises. You always have."
"Charles, I missed you so much!"
It had been almost a month since they were last together.
If she hadn't known he was coming to save her, she might not have held on.
Austin watched the two of them clinging to each other, his fists clenched, his jaw grinding.
He wanted to rush over and separate them.
Hannah was his.
He had put in so much effort to get her here, so why? Why did Charles have to show up again? Why was Charles always there to take Hannah from him?
Why couldn't he escape Charles's shadow?
But just as Austin took a step forward, a woman's frantic screams echoed from downstairs. "Who are you people? Why are you in my house?"
"Is it Patricia? Is it Martin? It's you two again, isn't it?"
"I've been tricked. After all these years, I still can't beat you. I'm a failure, a failure."
"No wonder he lost back then. You're all liars. This bait was set perfectly, making us lower our guard, thinking our plan had succeeded, but in the end."
"Ha. In the end, you let us relax on purpose, to catch us all at once, right?"
"You went through all this trouble to catch me, didn't you?"
Austin and Tina exchanged a glance.
They knew Karen had fallen into Charles's hands.
"That's my phone, you can't take my phone, give it back."
"Ah. Murder, help, someone's been murdered."
"Give me back my phone."
Amid Karen's continuous shouting, a bodyguard ran upstairs with the phone Hannah had used earlier, handing it to Charles. "Mr. Watson, we found this under that woman's pillow."
Hannah immediately recognized the phone and grabbed it, spotting the number ending in 0980. "Charles, this is it! This is the number I called to reach the kidnappers who took Oliver! He must be with them!"
Charles quickly found the number Hannah mentioned, then pulled out his own phone, swiftly tracking the number's location.
From start to finish, it took less than two minutes.
Charles called Wyatt.
The call was answered instantly.
Charles said, "I just sent you an address. Oliver is there. Send people immediately to rescue him. Make sure Oliver is safe, no matter what."
"I understand. I'll go personally."
After ending the call, Karen was brought upstairs by the bodyguards.
She was clearly uncooperative, constantly struggling with Charles's bodyguards. "Let go of me, you jerks. I warn you, if you touch me again, I'll sue you for harassment!"
"You despicable, shameless people, let Patricia see me, let Martin see me."
"Do you know who I am? Get your filthy hands off me, or I'll have Martin cut them off."
"Bastards, you're all bastards."
Amid Karen's curses, she was finally dragged upstairs by the bodyguards.
Karen's eyes lit up when she saw Austin and Tina surrounded by bodyguards. She quickly called out to Austin, "Austin, come save me, hurry."
Charles raised an eyebrow with a mocking smile. "He's your son? You're his real mother?"
The lighting was dim, and with Karen's messy hair and deliberate concealment, Charles couldn't see her clearly.
Austin didn't answer, staring coldly at Charles, asking, "Where did you put the tracker on Hannah?"
He had been so careful.
Yet, Charles still outsmarted him.
Karen heard Austin's question and suddenly understood, realization dawning on her. "I get it now! I finally get it! I wondered how you found this remote place. You put a tracker on that bitch Hannah."
She said this and lunged at Hannah to search her.
Charles immediately shielded Hannah.
The bodyguards restrained Karen.
But she fought like a wild beast, biting and struggling.
The bodyguards, all nearly six feet tall and trained in combat, were at a loss dealing with such a frenzied woman.
Chaos ensued.
Seeing everyone's attention on Karen, Tina grabbed Austin and ran. "Austin, trust me. No matter what happens, just run! Charles still needs me to undo Violet's hypnosis; he won't hurt me!
As long as you stay alive, there's always a chance for success!"
Tina urged Austin as they ran.
Austin followed Tina but couldn't help looking back at Hannah.
"Austin's running! Go after him!" The bodyguards finally reacted and started to chase.
Karen, with a sudden burst of strength, charged at them, headbutting their backs.
She actually managed to entangle them.
Charles signaled the head bodyguard with a look.
The head bodyguard nodded and silently pursued them.
