Bringing Trouble
Charlotte was stunned for a moment before nervously asking, “Then, does this mean that my father
and great-grandfather are also in danger? They—”
Joseph held her shoulders and interrupted her before she could finish, “Don’t worry, Charlotte. For now,
I don’t think anyone in the Woodley family would dare to attack them. They don’t have any blackmail on
them. But you, you’re their only way in.”
Before she could part her lips to ask further questions, he continued, “Think about it. If you’re safe and
sound, won’t your father and great-grandfather be able to deal with those people in Jamesdon with
peace of mind?”
Charlotte instinctively nodded.
“But, if you fall into the hands of those people who mean you harm, your father and great-grandfather
would be worried about your safety and be forced to cooperate with them.”
“Then… what should I do now?”
“Listen, Charlotte. Don’t be scared. I’ll protect you. I’ll take you out of Highside tonight.”
“But Leanna told us to wait for her to return. My father also told me to stay put in Highside and not go
anywhere,” she replied with a frown.
Joseph let out a silent sigh. “They’re right, Charlotte, but things are changing. Those people already
know that you’re in Highside. So, they’ll definitely find a way to track you down. Besides, have you ever
thought about the consequences of your decision? If you’re their target, staying in Highside would also
bring trouble to Miss McKinney.”
When Charlotte heard this, her pupils dilated instantly. He is right.
He gently patted her on the head and continued to persuade her, “I’ll escort you out of Highside to a
place where no one can find you. Once this matter is over, I’ll send you back to Jamesdon
immediately.”
“Won’t this implicate you?”
Joseph smiled. “I’ve been away from Jamesdon for more than ten years. Everyone thinks I’m dead.
How can they find the whereabouts of a dead man? Charlotte, your safest bet now is to come with me.”
When he noticed that she was caving in, he pressed further, “How about this? I’ll pick you up at eight
tonight. But don’t tell anyone that you’re leaving. Loose lips sink ships.”
“Not even my friends?” Charlotte whispered.
“Miss McKinney will definitely want to keep you in Highside, but do you want to put her in danger as
well?” He asked.
Charlotte shook her head. “No.”
“Charlotte, you have to trust me. I won’t hurt you.”
She inhaled deeply and answered, “I’ll go with you, Uncle Joseph.”
This gratified Joseph greatly as he said, “Then, I’ll make some arrangements to pick you up at 8.00PM.
Don’t be late.”
Charlotte waved as she called out, “See you, Uncle Joseph.”
Once he left, she immediately walked out of the lounge.
Zoe quickly approached her and asked worriedly, “What were you and your uncle talking about? You
guys have been away for so long.”
Charlotte, who didn’t do well under scrutiny, immediately blushed and stammered, “N-Nothing. Uncle
Joseph was just checking on me after what happened to the Woodleys. Nothing else!”
After she finished speaking, she hurried to the cashier and took several deep breaths to calm herself
down.
Zoe clicked her tongue inwardly. This child can’t lie to save herself. She might as well write the words
‘I’m lying’ on her forehead.
Still, since it was someone else’s family business, she knew she further. Therefore, she decided to
ignore Charlotte’s oddities and move on.
At 7.30PM, Zoe locked the studio door and proudly declared, “What do you want to eat tonight? It’s on
me!”
“Zoe, you should go home without me. I want to take a stroll,” Charlotte murmured.
“Huh?”
Zoe looked around and asked, “Is there something to do here? Do you want to buy anything? I’ll take
you to the mall.”
At this point, Charlotte was already faltering as she spluttered, “No, I-I just…I just want to take a stroll
around here…”
Zoe was starting to get suspicious. “Tell me honestly, what did your uncle say to you when he came
today?”
“Nothing, I—”
“I can tell that you’re lying. Don’t lie to me. Otherwise, I’ll tell Nana, and she’ll give you a dressing
down.”
Charlotte quickly grabbed Zoe’s arm and pleaded, “Zoe, don’t! I’m…I just…”
She lowered her head and mumbled, “Something happened to the Woodley Family. People are asking
me to go back and threatening my father and great-grandfather over my absence. If I stay in Highside, I
will only bring trouble to you guys.”
“So, what did your uncle say?” Zoe prodded.
“He said he would take me to a very safe place, and once this matter was over, he would bring me
back to Jamesdon.”
Zoe pondered over this as she replied, “Your uncle is right.”
When Charlotte heard that Zoe agreed with her decision,
“Right, my *ss! Even if what he said made sense, have you forgotten what your father said?”
Charlotte was stunned for a second as she mumbled, “He said I should stay in Highside…”
“He also told you not to trust anyone from the Woodley Family, didn’t he? Have you forgotten that?”
When Charles called, Zoe was beside Charlotte, so she heard everything clearly.
“But Uncle Joseph left Jamesdon ten years ago. He’s not part of the Woodley Family any longer. Even
my father doesn’t know that he’s still alive. When I was younger, Uncle Joseph was always very kind to
me. I don’t think he will lie to me or hold me hostage to threaten my dad and great-grandpa.”
“I don’t know your uncle, but I think your father is right. Considering the current situation, you shouldn’t
go anywhere unless your father comes and bring you back to Jamesdon himself.”
“But I don’t want to drag you guys in my mess.”
Zoe stared at the bewildered and helpless look on Charlotte’s face and advised, “Why don’t we call
your father and tell him about this? I won’t stop you if he agrees to let you go with your dearest Uncle
Joseph. However, if he disagrees with your, frankly, foolish decision, you are going to follow me home
obediently.”
Charlotte thought this was the most viable option and quickly took out her phone.
Alas, no one answered the call.
She turned to look at Zoe with wide eyes. “No one is answering…”
Zoe immediately took her hand and said, “Okay, then you should come home with me. Highside is still
relatively safe now. It won’t be too late for you to leave with your uncle once your father gives you the
green light. You’re not in a hurry to leave, right?”
What Zoe said made a lot of sense to Charlotte.
“Uncle Joseph said he’ll pick me up at eight. I’ll wait for him here and inform him.”
Zoe glanced at the time. She saw that it was only ten minutes before that appointment, so she
suggested, “Okay, I’ll accompany you while we wait. What do you want to eat later? Should we get
barbeque or street food?”
“Barbeque! I want to have a barbeque!”
“Okay! We’ll have that, then.”
