CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery
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."

Just then, the distant roar of an engine broke the tense silence.

They turned to see a black car barreling toward them, kicking up a cloud of dust as it came to a sudden stop between them.

A tall figure stepped out, wearing a hooded sweatshirt. In his strong arms, he held Charlie, a knife pressed against Charlie's delicate throat.

With a deep, menacing voice, the masked man issued his ultimatum. "Let Winnie go, or I'll kill him."

It was Charlie.

Winnie's face went pale with shock. "What are you doing here?"

"I knew you'd mess it up," the masked man replied, his voice low and cold.

"Who are you?" Ben demanded, his voice sharp as his eyes darted around, quickly assessing the scene for any possible way to intervene.

The masked man didn't answer.

Instead, he pressed the blade closer to Charlie's neck. Charlie's eyes filled with terror, though he bit his lip,

"Mr. Lucas, the choice is yours. Do you care more about capturing Winnie or saving this child's life?" The masked man's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"I have a feeling Jamie matters more to you," he added with a sneer.

Winnie's face turned ghostly pale. She had never expected things to spiral this far out of control. What began as a plan to use Charlie to bring Ben back to her had now escalated into a full-blown crisis.

Ben didn't even need to deliberate on the masked man's taunt. His mind was already made up. "Release Charlie, and I'll let you both go."

The masked man chuckled darkly, glancing at Winnie. "Prove it. Let her get in the car first."

Ben gestured to his men to release Winnie. She staggered forward, clutching her stomach as a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. She gritted her teeth and pushed

through, forcing herself to climb into the car.

The masked man, still holding Charlie, began inching toward the vehicle, his knife unwavering. Ben watched, his mind racing.

"Put the child down," Ben commanded, his voice firm.

The masked man smirked. "One more step, and he dies," he snarled, pressing the blade closer to Charlie's throat.

The tension was palpable. No one dared move.

The masked man climbed into the back seat, pulling Charlie with him. As he settled, Winnie abruptly started the car, causing a sudden jolt. The masked man was thrown back into the seat from the force of

the acceleration.

In that split second, Ben seized the opportunity. Like a flash, he darted forward and yanked Charlie out of the masked man's grasp. Both Ben and Charlie hit the ground hard.
