The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 482

Rebecca gave a soft smile. “Samuel, I know you mean well, but honestly... work is just something to pass the time. Besides, I really enjoy it—I find it so rewarding.”

Samuel let out a long sigh. “Alright, if you’re this determined, I won’t try to talk you out of it. But you have to promise me you’ll be careful. If anything happens, you tell me—immediately.”

Rebecca nodded, her voice gentle but firm. “I promise, Samuel. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.”

But how could Samuel not worry?

As soon as he hung up, he sat back in his chair, brow furrowed, his mind heavy with concern for Becky.

He knew she always tried to play things down, but after what had happened, there was no way she wasn’t shaken.

And Lionel—how dare he kidnap Becky? There was no way Samuel would let him get away with it.

Without hesitation, Samuel opened up the group chat with his brothers and filled them in on what had happened.

The moment Samuel finished telling them about the kidnapping, the chat exploded.

Matthew Thomson: “He thinks he can mess with the Thomson family and get away with it? Who does he think we are?”

William: “He kidnapped Becky? He must have a death wish.”

Michael: “Lionel? That piece of trash? How did he even get the nerve to touch our Becky?”

Samuel messaged them directly: “I’m handling it tonight. Becky will get the justice she deserves.”

William: “I’ll put out the word—tonight, not a single hospital will treat him. He can spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed for all I care.”

The moment the call ended, Ethan crossed his arms and huffed, “Hmph, Uncle Samuel’s actually learned how to lie.”

What Samuel didn’t realize was that the four little ones had already overheard his earlier conversation with Rebecca.

Aiden pouted, “Those bad guys, how dare they hurt Mommy!”

Evan’s big eyes were wide with concern. “Should we go help Mommy get even?”

Evan nodded quickly. “Yeah, Noah, you’re right. Let’s go to bed.”

So, the four kids quietly climbed into bed, closed their eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
