Chapter 285

Charlotte's heart clenched the moment she heard Lance's words. She had been bluffing the whole time, just trying to buy time. But deep down, she had faith Hans would find them. Still, if Lance saw through her act, they were in serious trouble. Mustering all the courage she had left, Charlotte forced her voice to stay calm. "I get it. You're angry, Lance. You feel disrespected. But I don't think you want to cause trouble for us. "Look, my friend took the hit. You've made your point, so how about letting it go now? No need to ruin the mood. Just let us go." Lance chuckled while lazily running his hand over Anastasia's thigh. "You've got a silver tongue, I'll give you that," he said. For a second, Charlotte thought it had worked. She stepped forward, pulling Wanda and Candace with her, ready to leave as fast as they could. But they were immediately blocked. Lance let out a loud, smug laugh and leaned forward. "Did I ever say you could leave?" he said, voice dripping with mockery.
