Chapter 160: Juliet is Missing

Laura's voice sharpened, "What are you doing? Let us go! If something happens to us, can you bear the responsibility?" Isaac frowned slightly at the two arguing, "It depends on whether you cooperate or not! I won't show mercy just because you're old!" Isaac didn't care at all that the two old people were trembling, "If you don't talk, then let's tie you up first!" Isaac turned to Milly calmly, "You tell me the location of that villa, Luan and I will go find it, and Carlos will stay here to protect them." Carlos nodded, "Alright, just be careful." "But..." Milly hesitated. "If we go, things might get more complicated. This is the safest plan for now," Charlotte persuaded. Milly reluctantly agreed, "Okay, we'll wait here then." Time passed by minute by minute, but Milly's heart didn't ease a bit. She looked at the two old people with disgust, never expecting them to do something so malicious. Regardless, she had always been devoted to taking care of them before her divorce. Even though these two old people never thought about her, Milly always wanted to do her part. But now she couldn't bear it anymore. She regretted more and more why she married such a person! Seeing how anxious he was, Laura smiled and said, "Now you're in a hurry because you obediently agreed to remarry my son. If not, none of this would have happened today!" Milly turned her head, glaring at her angrily, "Shut your mouth!" When Laura saw Milly daring to speak to her like this, she was momentarily taken aback, "How dare you speak to me like that? When I come back, I'll make sure my son gives you a good beating!" "Now that my daughter is in trouble, do you think I still care about you? I used to respect you as an elder, but now you're nothing in my eyes!" Charlotte looked at the almost frantic Milly with pity and said, "Shouldn't we lock them up so we don't have to listen to their words?" Milly shook her head calmly, "Not yet. I think they must know where my daughter is." Carlos stepped forward coldly, "Pearson has been having a hard time in business lately, so he's been doing some risky things, right?" Laura panicked instantly, "I don't know, don't ask me." Carlos could tell from her reaction that he hit the right spot. He looked at Laura with a smirk, "From your reaction, it doesn't seem like you don't know." "I'm just a housewife, taking care of the children and cooking every day at home. How would I know about these things? I don't know anything, so don't ask me." "Then why are you nervous?" Carlos squatted in front of them, "He did this because his company is in trouble, right? I wouldn't have come to ask if I didn't know. I didn't want to stir up trouble. If things really get messy, your good days might be over." "What do you mean my son did? You're just trying to deceive me. Do you think I'm stupid?" Carlos smiled, "You admit it." Laura said somewhat confusedly, "What did I admit? Don't talk nonsense." Carlos said calmly, "You just asked me to tell you what your son did, which means you already know." Nodding Carlos reminded her, "I'll tell you, your family is just nouveau riche, while we are old aristocrats. It's easy for me to find out some things. I don't want to expose what your son did here, because you know it yourself." "You! What do you want to do? Don't hurt my son!" Carlos shook his head, "I'm not interested in your son. Let's make a deal. You tell us where Juliet is, and we won't bother Pearson's misdeeds." Carlos's voice sounded calm, but each word was like a death knell in Laura's ears. Charlotte only now realized what Carlos had been busy with just now. "You don't want to say now, that's okay. I'll give you time to consider. Five minutes enough?" Carlos smiled. There was a faint chill in his eyes. Laura looked angrily at him, "I don't have anything to consider. Even if you say that, I still don't know where Juliet is!" Carlos sighed as he looked at her, "I'm giving you a chance, but you're useless. Let me make things clear to you." Carlos placed his phone in front of Laura, showing everything Pearson had done recently. All these pieces put together would be enough to put him in prison for life. As Laura read on, her face grew darker. She thought these were well-hidden secrets, even though they were aristocrats, they wouldn't easily uncover them. Carlos sneered, "Do you still think I'm lying to you now?" Laura looked at him in frustration, "You!" Seeing her like this, Carlos looked slightly pleased, "You were so sure that I couldn't find out what your son did? It only took me three minutes to get this information. If I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't be asking you like this." "This might only be a part of it. If you give me more time, I'll investigate everything thoroughly. These pieces alone are enough to keep him in prison for life. If I uncover everything, he might die immediately, right?" Laura screamed, "If you dare to do that, I won't let you off even if I die!" Carlos snorted, "Please recognize the situation now. At this point, who won't let who off?" "What about my grandson? What are you going to do to him?" Carlos said indifferently, "As long as you tell us where Juliet is, I won't trouble him, including your useless son." Coincidentally, Isaac called, "They're not in this villa. We need to go to other places and see if we can get any information from them." "Wait a minute," Carlos put the phone on speaker. "Aren't you going to say it?" Carlos said coldly. In this instant, Laura seemed to have aged several years. Their family had finally reached this point, and if Pearson died, they would return to the days of suffering.
