Then, when the servants reported it to Levi, she would shift the blame onto me. She said it was my boyfriend, and I was the one who brought him home for fun.
"Charlotte!"
Seeing that I didn't respond, Levi roared on the other end.
If words were a sharp knife, I had no doubt that his voice could cut me into pieces right now.
"Are you even listening to me? I'm warning you, don't think taking my son means you don't have to pay me back. I won't let you spend a single dime of mine!"
Emma was following the same path as the last life, trying to pin Leo's death on me again. That's why Levi kept insisting I took him away.
By now, Leo must have already died.
"Charlotte, did you hear me?"
A trace of sarcasm flashed in my eyes. "What's the use of calling me to find your son? Call someone in Martinez Mansion now. Maybe you can still catch a last glimpse of him!"
I hung up the phone and leaned back in my chair.
Levi was a fool with money but no brains. He wasn't worth my time.
The next second, I heard my colleagues' panicked voices outside the office. Before I could react, Levi burst in with several men in black.
My vision suddenly went dark as someone yanked my ponytail. A sharp pain shot through my scalp, and my eyes filled with tears.
"Charlotte, did you really think I wouldn't find you?" Levi said, gripping my hair tightly.
I didn't expect him to make such a scene at my workplace. Thankfully, I had a private office, so my humiliation was somewhat contained.
"Where's Leo?"
Levi waved his hand, and the men started searching the small office. But how could a toddler possibly be hiding here? I crossed my arms, watching them with disdain.
"Emma said you took Leo out for the day and never returned. Now she's missing, too. Are you two playing me?" Levi said. His voice was laced with anger.
I shoved his hand away. The hatred flashed in my eyes.
"Just because she said it doesn't make it true. Do you even think for yourself? I have a job. I don't have time to babysit for a couple of lunatics," I said.
Levi's gaze was stubborn as he tightened his grip on my hair.
"You didn't even go to work yesterday! The servants said they hadn't seen Leo since you left. Emma was left alone, too. What else do you have to say?" Levi said.
Lowering his voice, he added, "I might let the money go, but if anything happens to my son, I will take your life."
