Chapter 1936
Maxine got to her feet slowly as well. She looked at Gladys, who was holding Winnie, and said with a cold, detached look on her face, "Give me the child?"
Gladys took a few steps back.
In a flash, Maxine appeared in front of Gladys. Before Gladys could even react, the child in her arms was already taken by Maxine.
"Wahhh." After being taken away, the child immediately burst out in tears.
With Winnie in her arms, Maxine quickly left the Callahans’ villa.
The Callahan family members, on the other hand, were as pale as ghosts.
"What are we going to do?"
"What exactly is Maxine up to?”
All of the Callahan family members were in a state of panic. Only Lex managed to regain his composure and called James immediately.
"It’s not good, James. Winnie was taken by Maxine.”
James was hastily making his way to Southern Plains’ Dragonville at this precise moment. When he heard that, his heart swelled with intense rage.
"I-I'm rushing over to Cansington.”
He traveled quickly, and he soon reached the military region. He then boarded a private plane bound for Cansington. On the plane, he even pulled out his phone and made a call to Maxine.
Maxine's phone number remained the same. The call went through shortly. Over the phone, the sound of a child crying could be heard.
When he heard the cries, James was heartbroken. He suppressed his rage, adopted a humble demeanor, and said in a lowered voice, "Maxine, what are you trying to do?”
“Hehe.” Maxine's laughter could be heard over the phone. "I’ve changed my mind. Thea and the child, you can only choose one of them. Don’t say that I'm not giving you a chance. Within a week, bring me Thea’s head. If I don’t see her head within a week, I'll let you see Winnie’s."
Maxine laughed in a grim and unsettling way. The sound of her laughter was chilling.
