When the door of the office closed again, Charlie walked back to the floor-to-ceiling window. When he put the phone beside his ear and dialed the number, there was finally warmth in his indifferent eyes.
"Where are you now?"
On the other side, Wendy said in a hurry, "Charlie, I didn't go to Hogg's Group, I'm on my way to Hogg's Mansion!"
"Hogg's Mansion? Why are going there?" Charlie frowned.
Wendy didn't hide anything and answered him directly. She said in a panic that couldn't be concealed, "Your dad just called me and said that if I didn't go to Hogg's Mansion, I would never see Larry again!"
When she came out of the villa, the call she received was from Gilbert.
Wendy didn't want to have any private meeting with Gilbert in her heart, so she immediately said that if there was anything Gilbert wanted to talk to her, he could talk on the phone. But Gilbert threatened him by saying so.
How could she keep calm? Larry was her life. She was afraid that the nightmare that happened four years ago would happen again, so she immediately asked Uncle Lee to drive her to Hogg's Mansion.
Charlie lowered his voice after heard that and said, "Wendy, don't worry, I'll drive over now!"
He hung up the phone, grabbed the suit jacket and car keys, quickly pushed open the office door, and went straight to the elevator.
He crazily stepped on the accelerator, although it was already rush hour in the evening, Charlie still rushed out from the congested road. With the sharp braking sound, he almost stuffed the head of the car into the living room of Hogg's Mansion.
Since he drove fast, he arrived here right after Wendy, and Uncle Lee was standing beside the black Mercedes.
After he entered the door, in addition to the servants, Ella also came up to greet him. She smiled and said, "Charlie is here!"
Charlie's heart was burning with anxiety. He just nodded his head perfunctorily and walked quickly into the living room.
On the couch inside, Wendy was holding Larry in her arms and sitting on it. Opposite Wendy, Gilbert was sitting there with a serious face. There was tea on the tea table, but no one drank it. The atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
When Wendy saw Charlie, she looked up and whispered, "Charlie ... "
"Hum." Charlie's lips twitched.
Seeing that she looked fine, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
However, he also raised his eyebrows. He strode over to stand in front of Wendy to protect her. He looked straight at his father and said in a cold voice, "Dad, what do you want? You didn't feel ashamed at all about what happened four years ago. How can you still threaten her with child?"
"If I don't say that, will she come?" Gilbert snorted and didn't care his son's burning eyes. Instead, he continued to say, 11 The kitchen is still preparing. We can have dinner in ten minutes!"
Charlie and Wendy were both surprised by Gilbert's words.
From the moment Wendy entered the room, she was brought to the living room by a servant and sat down. After that, the servant brought her tea. Every cell in her body was in a defensive state, but Gilbert had never spoken. He was like an old monk in meditation, which made her confused about what was in his mind.
In fact, what she didn't know was that Gilbert was also looking at.
Although his sister Donna would not lie to him, he really couldn't imagine this girl in front of him, who looked quiet and weak, could successfully persuade that stubborn old man in Hong Kong in the end. Maybe she was just lucky!
However, that old man had been involved in the underworld for a long time in his early years, he must have a strange temper. Wasn't she afraid?
Gilbert just thought about these in his heart. Of course, he wouldn't ask.
