Chapter 680

When Charles heard that Evelyn and Charlie had been taken by people from the Cipoletti family, his expression instantly darkened.

He'd always known what kind of place the Cipoletti family was.

Ever since he learned that Charlie had been snatched by them—and suffered unspeakable things there-he'd set Francis and his own men to work, digging up any dirt they could find on the Cipolettis.

Anyone who dared lay a finger on Charlie was never going to get away with it.

But the Cipoletti family, for all their polished reputation as one of Country Y's grand old names, were really the beating heart of a massive criminal empire.

Human trafficking, organ trading, arms smuggling... All kinds of horrors happened behind their walls.

As Charles dug deeper, he realized that back when Eve told him Charlie had died, he hadn't believed it. He'd been convinced Eve was hiding the boy somewhere. So he sent Aiden to look for Charlie.

But they'd come up empty-because the Cipolettis had done a thorough job of erasing every trace. Aiden hadn't gone deep enough, so he missed the truth.

Once Charles finally uncovered why the Cipoletti family wanted Charlie, he forced himself to hold back-for Eve and Charlie's sake. The last thing he needed was to turn the Cipolettis into a ticking time bomb, ready to explode and hurt them both.

The family's influence was webbed so wide and deep, he knew he had to pull out the roots-leave them with no chance for revenge.

But he never imagined things would go sideways so fast.

The thought of Eve and Charlie trapped in that house made Charles want to smash his way in then and there.

But for their sake, he couldn't afford to lose his head.
