Snare of Love novel Chapter 262

Charles was upset because someone had interrupted his words. He gave Amelia a black look, “What's going on? Why are you acting hastily?”

Amelia took a breath, “A man is standing in front of the door with a crowd of people. He is asking you to hand his sister over to him.”

Charles and Dolores looked at each other for a split second. They could guess who was outside the door in their hearts without saying a word.

“I'll go out and take a look. Don't you go out and stay here,” there were only a few people in the villa. There was only Tom outside the door. Charles was afraid of hurting Dolores if conflict happened.

Dolores stood up. Could she avoid in the room if there was a conflict?

Moreover, she did not think that Lacey's brother was coming to save his sister. She was afraid that the man was to blackmail for benefits after he knew his sister knew Charles.

“I believe there will no conflict as long as you are willing to pay.”

Dolores said sarcastically. She sneered at how there could be people like the Ward family in the world.

Charles was poker-faced. He had a countermeasure for dealing with this. He raised his head and looked at Dolores, “I won't let you hurt in my place.”

He pushed his wheelchair to go out of the room after he finished speaking. Amelia silently followed along and stole a glance at Dolores.

She felt that Charles was so good to Dolores.

Jordan brought a dozen of fair-weather friends who had always eaten, drank, and played with him to Charles's place. He could not find Lacey, and he had managed to extract from his cousin that Lacey knew Charles. That was why he brought these people and came to Charles to look for his sister.

Charles seldom appeared in public because of his legs. The people of White City had heard the name of Charles and knew him. However, there were only a few people who had seen him. Jordan also had heard of his name but never see him.

“Ask Charles to come out. I want to ask him about where he got my sister,” Jordan sat on the rims of the fountain that was in front of the villa. He had a cigarette between his lips, and a crowd of punks was standing right behind Jordan.

Charles heard the words when he arrived at the door. He looked glum. He pushed his wheelchair to the door and said solemnly, “I'm Charles.”

Jordan saw Charles was in a wheelchair. He blinked and did not react for a moment.

“Ha! Ha! Charles White is a cripple. Some rumors about him are flying how powerful he is, but it turns out he is just a cripple!” Jordan slapped his thighs and laughed loudly.

Dolores frowned and was shocked by Jordan's ignorance.

Charles was poker-faced and looked at Jordan, who was laughing there. He was somewhat familiar with Jordan's face, and he seemed to have seen the face earlier.

He suddenly remembered the place where he had seen the face. He met Jordan in the elevator when he came out of Lacey's house last time. Jordan had laughed at him for being a cripple at that time, so Charles was impressed by Jordan.

Was he looking for Lacey that day?

“Tom, you're getting more inefficient now,” he remembered that he had asked Tom to send someone to keep a watch on Lacey. However, Tom did not find anything about it.

Tom did not dare to contradict Charles and silently lowered his head. He only sent people to keep a watch outside the housing estate. How could he know what was going on in the housing estate?

Jordan finished laughing at this time, “My sister is here with you?”

“She's in my place,” Charles agreed with him. It made Jordan did not know how to continue his next words for a moment.

Jordan wanted Charles not to admit it so that he could ask Charles for Lacey in the name of her brother. He could get some benefits from Charles if Charles did not hand Lacey over to him. However, Charles had admitted it immediately. How could he ask for interests from Charles?

“So, where is my sister? Give me my sister, and I'll take her back home. If you think that my sister is somewhat useful to you, I can sell her to you,” Jordan bit the bullet and asked.

Jordan was coming for money since Charles had deep pockets, and he was the richest man of White City.

Charles's face became darker and graved. He gripped the arms of his wheelchair tightly. Very well then. Charles could not believe Jordan would even sell a person.

“Deal!” Charles promised Jordan.

Jordan was elated by Charles's words. He did not expect Charles would promise him so quickly. He laughed heartily, “You're such a generous rich man.”

The crowd of punks behind him echoed as well.

“So, how much do you want?” Charles got out of his bad mood and said indiscreetly.

Jordan became prudent when it came to money. He rubbed his chin and thought for a while, “My sister looks good and can work for you as well. Since you are willing to buy her, she means somewhat useful to you, even if you're not like her. How about this? I sell her to you for one million yuan. She belongs to you as long as you give me the money.”

Charles pretended to be not easy, “How can I believe you? Are your words any use? She is a person.”

Jordan was afraid that Charles would change his mind and replied quickly, “Don't worry, my words are useful, and I have the final say in my family. She is nothing but a no-father wild child adopted by my family. My family raised her since she was a child, and it's time for her to return us.”

“You use to ask her for money?” Charles asked inadvertently.
