Chapter 923 Don’t Be Afraid
“Yes, of course.” Jerome looked worried but did not say anything more. Although he was almost drowning in the scolding of netizens, at least no one had sent him a threatening letter, right? For now, he was already grateful that Joe and Anna did not kick him out on the spot, so he did not dare to ask for more. Jerome bowed slightly and said, “There will be some time left for the second phase of filming. You can communicate with me at any time.” Although Joe and Charlotte did not mean to be angry at Jerome, they just could not be as kind to him as before. Charlotte picked up the coffee at hand and said, “Okay, I’ll let my assistant communicate with you.”
Knowing that this meant he was asked to leave, Jerome immediately stood up. “Then I will wait for your news. Goodbye.” Neither Joe nor Charlotte kept him but asked Tom to send him out politely. It was not until Jerome left that Charlotte called the two children to her side. She looked at them with gentle eyes and said, “Were you scared of the bad people?”
Although Ben’s mechanical bug arrived quickly, the thought of how horrifying it must have been when they were locked up in that dark house… Charlotte’s heart and eyes were filled with distress. Ben and Anna looked at each other and shook their heads. Anna threw herself softly into Charlotte’s arms and looked up at her. “Ben said that Dad and Mom would definitely come to save us, so I was not afraid.” Charlotte was moved. She touched her daughter’s delicate and soft back and kissed her on the face. “Anna, you’re amazing.” She extended her arm to Ben again, and Ben hugged her without hesitation.
“Ben, you are also amazing. Not only did you protect your sister, but you also found ways to save yourself,” Charlotte praised sincerely. She was really glad that Ben and Anna were both smart children and could escape the crisis time and time again, safe and sound. Charlotte thought for a while and told them the news that Jerome had come earlier to ask them to continue participating in the variety show. “If you don’t want to participate, we can…” “We want to participate,” Anna interrupted Charlotte hastily. She turned to look at Ben. “Ben… Are you afraid?” Ben shook her head decisively. “It’s not us who did the wrong thing. We don’t need to be afraid.” Charlotte looked at the two children in surprise, not expecting them to say such things. “Don’t you blame those men for losing you?” Charlotte thought for a while and asked. Ben shook his head. “Those men did something wrong, and Dad and Mom will definitely let them be punished. But my sister and I were very happy when we participated in the show, and there is no need to give up the opportunity to be happy because of these people.” Joe and Charlotte were really surprised now. They never expected that two children, Ben and Anna, who were less than five years old, could have such a comprehensive understanding of the situation. Charlotte smiled and nodded. “Then we will continue to participate. Your Dad and I will definitely protect you.” Ben and Anna looked at Joe eagerly, and Joe naturally agreed without hesitation.
Now that the decision had been made, Charlotte had no intention of delaying things with Jerome on purpose. Thus, she asked Mandy to inform Jerome of the news on the same day. At that time, Jerome was looking at the angry insults from netizens on the screen, and his face was gloomy. He knew that if he could not invite the two families whose children were kidnapped to continue participating in the show, the show would die sooner or later. However, he felt that the possibility of Joe and Charlotte agreeing again was almost zero. “Maybe we should ask the boss to suspend the program for now…” Terrence said hesitantly.
