Chapter 1126 Admit That You Cheated

The press conference was to begin in five minutes. At the press, Charles would show the evidence that those nude pictures of Sheryl were processed to prove that she didn't have an affair. So Isla reminded Sheryl that it might be a trap and the person who was calling might have ill intentions.

But Sheryl paid no attention to Isla's cautionary reminder because she was focused on the call.

"Hello, Ms. Xia," a strange male voice crackled over the phone.

Since his voice was intentionally processed, Sheryl was unable to recognize who was on the other end.

"Who are you? Where are my children?" Sheryl asked anxiously.

"Ms. Xia, I want to make a bet with you. What do you say?" the man proposed arrogantly. Since he had leverage in his hand, the man had no reservations.

"Okay. What do you want to bet?" Sheryl agreed immediately, aware that she had no say in this matter since the man had her children.

"Haha, Ms. Xia, you are a decisive person. I bet that you will admit that you are the woman in the nude pictures at the press conference. Otherwise..." And there, Duncan stopped. After a brief pause, he let out an unscrupulous laugh before saying, "Otherwise, I am sure you know the consequences."

"What exactly do you want?" Sheryl asked in a fluster. The more composed the caller was, the more apprehensive she got.

"You know what I want, don't you? You are so lucky to have two lovely children. They are so cute. What a pity! Do you think whom I should kill first, the boy or the girl?" Duncan threatened blatantly.

"Don't, please don't hurt them. I will do as you say. Please, just let my kids go. They're only three years old," Sheryl pleaded shakily, tears rushing down her cheeks. She had no idea when Clark and Shirley had been kidnapped.

Neither did she expect to get a threatening call before the press conference.

ested in truth. Rather, they pursued profit, and eye-catching news could bring them that.

So when the screen went black, as shocked as the reporters were, they wasted no time taking pictures of Charles and capturing the look of panic on his face.

The moment the screen went black, Charles turned around to check the power supply. But to his astonishment, Sheryl was standing by the power outlet with the unplugged cord in her hand. "What are you doing, Sher?" he asked his wife with a frown.

Ignoring Charles' question, Sheryl walked onto the stage and snatched the microphone from him. Calmly, she said, "Hello, I am the one involved in the nude picture scandal. If you have any questions, please ask me directly. Don't ask Charles. I know more about this than him."

When she spoke, she fixed her gaze directly into the camera in front of her as if she were staring into the eyes of her children's abductor.

"What are you thinking, Sher? You don't need to explain anything. When they see the evidence, they will learn the truth," Charles whispered anxiously. He didn't understand why Sheryl was doing this.

"Stay out of this, Charles. If you trust me, then you'll listen," Sheryl leaned in to whisper in Charles' ear.
