Chapter 1546

Taking a deep breath, Winnie issued her final threat. "Well then, sorry to say, but I'll be taking Charlie. Neither you nor Jamie will ever see him again in this lifetime." With that, she turned and made her way toward her car.

What she didn't expect was for Ben to have stealthily approached. Suddenly, he grabbed her, restraining her movements.

Ben's gaze was icy and dangerously sharp. "This time, you're not going anywhere. Charlie stays, and you know exactly what kind of crime kidnapping a child is." Winnie bit her lip hard, trembling as she held back her emotions. "Are you really going to send me to prison?"

"That's my specialty," Ben replied, his tone unwavering. "But if you hand over Charlie, I might consider defending you in court."

Winnie let out a bitter laugh, lowering her head. "You really are heartless. But I'm not saying a word."
