They exchanged looks. With the man being the first to realize what was going on, he turned around immediately to flee.
Damn it. He did not think that anyone was downstairs. Now that he had been spotted, he had to leave quickly.

Looking at the person on his shoulder, Kent was shocked. Although he could not see the person's face clearly, he had followed Matthew and Lucy closely enough earlier to realize who that was. Was that not Mrs. Leon? Without further thought, Kent ordered, "Quick, stop him! Don't let him take Mrs. Leon with him!" The men immediately chased after the sinister man who was carrying Lucy through the back alleys.
The men Kent brought were all elite bodyguards. They were highly skilled professionals, so they quickly caught up to the sinister man.
They surrounded him, and the sinister man looked at them warily.
Panting, the assistant caught up and pointed at the man, "I advise you to hand over the woman on your back, or else..." Damn it. Did the youngest princess see this coming? The man swiftly retreated.
The man still had no idea if these people were after him or protecting Lucy, but he was completely dumbfounded.
However, did they really think they could just trap him like this? It seemed like they were too naive. Soon, the sinister man and the bodyguards engaged in a dogfight.
Only then did Kent find the chance to call Matthew to report the situation. It had only been 20 minutes since Charlotte took Lucy upstairs, and the shop was quiet, so Matthew had no idea.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mr. Leon, we've found Mrs. Leon. A man jumped out of the back window to take her away. Our men are fighting him right now!" Matthew was right! His eyes narrowed, and with a chilling voice, he said, "Stop him and ensure my wife's safety. Don't let that man get away!" "Yes, sir." The assistant hung up, and Matthew immediately stood up to go upstairs. Charlotte was really up to something. Damn it! Good thing he was prepared.
He needed to go upstairs and see what kind of sick plan Charlotte was pulling, but as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, the staff member hurried over to stop him.
"Sir, you're not allowed to go upstairs!" The staff member hurriedly stood in front of him, making him even more impatient.
"Get out of my way!" His expression was cold, startling the staff member. However, she still insisted with a smile, "Sir, the ladies are upstairs getting measured It would be impolite to go upstairs. You might frighten them."
She insisted on stopping him, but Matthew could not bother explaining to her. Out of urgency, he pushed past the staff member and went upstairs. The staff member kept calling after him, "Sir, you can't go up...' When he got upstairs, the place was silent, and Charlotte was unconscious on the floor.
Matthew could not tell if she was really unconscious or if she was m faking it but he hurried to the broken window and looked into the distance.
Kent and his men were locked in a struggle with another man, but even with so many of them they could hot apprehend the man who took Lucy. Matthew pursed his lips. Without hesitation, he jumped out the window. If he were to walk down, it would take at least five minutes to reach the scene.
