Chapter 132: Two Beauties Get Into a Great Fight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meanwhile, Charlotte was planning to head home after she finished packing up at the end of an arduous day of work. But suddenly recalling the phone call she just received from Lucas, she felt uneasy.
Charlotte took out her phone and planned to call Lucas, but her phone screen suddenly lit up at this moment. It was a call from an unknown number.
She casually swiped her finger on the phone screen to answer the call. “Hello?”
A stranger’s voice came from the other end. “You’re Charlotte Carter, right? Listen up. Your niece is now in our hands. If you don’t want anything to happen to her, you’d better come to the Cocktail Bar to pick her up immediately. If you dare to tell anyone about this, you will collect her corpse instead!”
Charlotte panicked, and her heart instantly sank to rock bottom. She felt chilly all over and almost dropped her phone.
By the time she returned to her senses and was about to ask another question, the caller had already hung up.
Dumbfounded, Charlotte looked at her phone while pangs of panic engulfed her.
Amelia was kidnapped? But didn’t Lucas just call me to say that he was going to pick her up? How did she end up in the hands of kidnappers…
Oh, right!
At that time, Lucas asked her if she had gone to pick up Amelia. She reckoned that he must have already found out that Amelia had been kidnapped and thus called her to ask about it! Clearly, Amelia was already in trouble at the time, but Lucas probably didn’t tell her about it because he was afraid that she might be worried.
Charlotte hated herself for failing to tell that something was wrong and thinking that Lucas was just asking a casual question.

During the phone call just now, the caller told her to go to the Cocktail Bar, a place familiar to her because it was the exact place where she nearly drank the drink that Logan Hale, the owner of the Cocktail Bar, had spiked.
In that case, the culprits who kidnapped Amelia must have come for her. She guessed that the culprit might be Logan Hale!
She had implicated Amelia.
Charlotte was extremely chagrined and anxious. The only thing she wanted to do was to call Lucas and tell him everything. But what the caller said made her too scared to place the call.
If those people really did something horrible to Amelia, there would be no turning back even if she reproached herself until death!
Charlotte couldn’t afford to take the gamble!
Biting her lower lip tightly, she finally made up her mind.
Since Logan’s target was her, she should be the one to solve this matter! At least, she had to get Amelia back in one piece!
Charlotte left the office, hailed a cab, and headed straight to the Cocktail Bar!
Soon, the cab arrived at the entrance of the Cocktail Bar. Keeping her head raised high, Charlotte immediately strode over and said coldly to the receptionist, “I’m Charlotte Carter. Where is Logan Hale?”
An underling dressed in waiter’s clothes had long been ordered to wait at the side at the front desk. After hearing Charlotte’s words, he immediately walked out. “Miss Carter, Mr. Hale has been waiting for a long time. Come with me.”
The underling then brought her to a private room in the innermost area on the second floor of the bar. He knocked on the door and said respectfully, “Mr. Hale, Charlotte Carter is here.”
“Bring her in!” he exclaimed with excitement.

As soon as Charlotte heard this voice, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted. After entering the private room, she saw Logan smiling hypocritically while sitting on the couch leisurely with a scantily clad woman in his embrace. He even slipped his hand into her clothing unrestrainedly.
“Where is Amelia?” Charlotte asked straightaway. She didn’t even bother to make any pleasantries.
“Hey, Miss Carter, I had a hard time inviting you here. Why do you look like you want to kill someone? This isn’t appropriate. Even if you’re gorgeous, your beauty will be downplayed by your expression. You should smile more often because you look the prettiest when you smile,” Logan remarked while sighing and clucking his tongue against the roof of his mouth.
Not in the mood to listen to his nonsense at all, Charlotte immediately exclaimed coldly, “Cut the crap! Where is Amelia? You just wanted me to come, right? Now that I’m here, let the kid off!”
“Hah, Charlotte Carter, you’re really foolish. Get your facts straight. Now you are the one who is asking us to release that little bastard. Is this the attitude you should have when you’re begging someone?” Scarlet said nonchalantly as she raised her head while laying in Logan’s arms and staring at Charlotte.
“You… Scarlet? What are you doing here?” Charlotte finally realized that the woman dressed skimpily and cuddled up in Logan’s arms was Scarlet!
Immediately afterward, Charlotte figured out the crux of the matter. Amelia went missing at the kindergarten, but the kindergarten’s staff had always been quite strict in management and wouldn’t let strangers take children away. She reckoned that Scarlet must have used her identity as Amelia’s relative to convince the teacher to let her take Amelia away before handing her over to Logan Hale!
The more Charlotte thought about it, the more enraged she was. Glaring at Scarlet, she hollered, “Scarlet Wright! How can you use such a despicable method to take Amelia away? She’s just a five-year-old child! Are you still human at all?”
Scarlet sprang up, walked over to Charlotte, and gave her a hard slap on her face!
Smack!
“Shameless bitch, you’re in no place to teach me a lesson! Hmph, your loser brother-in-law put me in such a situation and ruined my potential marriage. I took away that little bastard because I want him to panic and make him kneel down and beg me!” Scarlet yelled furiously.
“Scarlet Wright, you bitch, how dare you slap me?!” Charlotte had always been hot-tempered. After shouting, she slapped Scarlet hard on her face.
“Heartless thing! You won’t even spare your five-year-old niece! You deserve to be dumped! You’ve got such a vicious personality. Which man would dare to marry you?! Try hurling vulgarities and slapping me again!” Charlotte cursed furiously while grabbing Scarlet’s hair with all her might. She then scratched Scarlet’s face with her other hand.
Charlotte was rather brutal when she was fierce. She was totally beating Scarlet into a pulp, leaving the latter with no means to break free. Scarlet could only scream miserably.
Sitting on the couch and resting his head on his hand, Logan watched the two ladies fight with great interest. He had no intentions to stop them at all.
The scene of two beauties slapping each other and yanking at each other’s hair was too interesting!
