"It's not right to go casually with strangers. Aunt and you are not familiar. If you want to go anywhere, you should ask your mother and she will take you." Bella rubbed the child's head and said softly.
"I can't tell mom about that place, otherwise, I will be taken away, but I have to go there to get a very important thing. Aunt, I believe you, please help me, please? Or I'll die." The child pleaded.
"Where do you want to go? What do you want?" Bella asked defensively.
"It's a map I used to hide. I have to go there before I know where it's buried. I made a mark." the child said.
Bella frowned and looked at the children. "What map?"
"About the base, I'll take it and give it to my father." the child said.
Bella raised the corner of her mouth as she heard the child's logical mistakes.
"Then you should go straight to your father and tell him about the map, not me." Bella politely refused.
The child was angry. "Are you going to take me or not?"
"Why can't your mother know about the map of the base? Why will you be taken away when your mother knows it? Why without my help, you'll die?" Bella asked several questions in a row.
The children can't make up any good reasons immediately. He took the ashtray on the table, hit it on his head hard and the blood flowed out immediately.
Bella stood still, just squinting at him.
He left the ashtray near Bella's feet, ran out of the room and shouted, "Mom, she hit me! Mom."
Bella stood at the gate of the box and watched the boy running away.
She clearly realized that it was a trap. She couldn't stay here waiting for Scarlett Evan to come back and question.
James Grayson was about to marry someone else. That person was neither her nor Scarlett Evan. Scarlett Evan's fight with her was meaningless. Besides, she didn't have enough strength to deal with the new issues.
Bella used the back door to leave the restaurant and walked back to the hotel.
*
Half an hour later,
She had just returned to her hotel room when her cell phone rang.
It was Scarlett Evan's. She answered, "Bella, are you not in the box now? I came back to you but no one is here."
"Your son asked me to take him to a place. Do you know where it is?" Bella asked.
"What, a place? Where?" Scarlett Evan's tone was full of incomprehension.
"He said that he can't tell his mother about the place. If his mother knows it, he will be taken away and die. I have told James Grayson about it." Bella said coldly.
"What does that mean? Berlin really said that? Where is he now?" Scarlett Evan asked.
"He smashed his head with an ashtray and rushed out of the box. I didn't know where he has gone." Bella just said it and Scarlett Evan hung up.
Scarlett Evan twisted her eyebrows and looked at Berlin standing beside her. "You've done me a lot of harm this time. Why do you say you can't let me know, you'll be taken away and you'll die? Your father will think I'm a bad person."
Berlin looked at Scarlett Evan in fear, "Because she didn't agree to go with me."
"You have to run now. If your father finds you, you will deny and just say that it's Bella who has beaten you. You should be firm. When necessary, the trick of injuring oneself to gain the enemy's confidence should be used. Now we have to use it for our future happiness. You know?" Scarlett Evan explained.
"I know, mom. I won't let that bad woman take dad away." Berlin said, running towards the back alley.
Scarlett Evan pretended to be worried and called James Grayson. "Jimmy, something happened to Berlin. I can't find him anywhere."
"Why?" James Grayson asked.
"I had an appointment with Bella today. I want to return your real-estate documents to you. I have left Berlin and Bella alone. But when I went back to the box, Bella and Berlin were gone. I called Bella just now. Bella said that she saw Berlin rush out, and she didn't know where Berlin had gone? Berlin is a very obedient child. Why did he rush out suddenly?" Scarlett Evan said while putting the complete blame on Bella.
"I see. I'll find Berlin first and then talk to you." James Grayson hung up the phone.

Bella rested for half an hour and then went out to eat noodles in the noodle shop near the hotel.
She was eating noodles when her phone rang again.
She looked at a strange phone number and answered, "If you want your child to live, come to Castle Peak Park."
"Haven't you dialed the wrong number?" Bella said calmly, bowed her head and continued to eat noodles.
"Are you Bella? Berlin is in our hands. If you won't come in two hours, you can only see the dead body." The other side warned.
"Well, what you should look for is the father or mother of the child, or the grandparents of the child. I have nothing to do with the child. I'm sorry. In addition, if you call to harass me again, I'll call the police and do my best." Bella said directly and hung up the phone.
Opposite party, "..."
When she finished eating, she paid, and because she was curious about what the other party was up to. She drove to Castle Peak Park.
From a certain distance, she saw James Grayson.
"Dad, that woman hit me. She wants to hit me more, that's why I ran away." Berlin complained.
"You said that Bella hit you. How could she? Berlin, stop talking nonsense." Scarlett Evan pretended to not believe it.
"Mom believes me, that woman hit me and forced me to say if my mother has any problems, I didn't say, and she hit me more." Berlin pouted his lips and said wrongly.
Scarlett Evan observed James Grayson's face and said softly, "there must be some misunderstanding in it. I believe Bella is a good woman."
James Grayson looked at Berlin deeply. His face was cold and he squatted down. "You don't want Bella to be your mother, right?"
Scarlett Evan immediately heard the trap of this sentence, and immediately said, "How can it be? Bella is more knowledgeable and educated. She is more reliable than me."
James Grayson stared at Scarlett Evan and said, "You know Bella is knowledgeable and educated. So it's natural for you to think that she is reliable. Berlin is still small. He only judges according to his preferences. But for me, Berlin's thoughts are more important than anything."
Scarlett Evan was blocked by James Grayson, she couldn't say anything else.
Berlin seemed to find a resonance and said, "Yes, I don't want her to become my mother. I have a mother. Why do I like someone else to be my mother?"
"So you framed her in this way?" James Grayson's eyes were on Berlin's forehead. "But you don't know that the one I want to marry is another person, not that woman. What you did was useless. In the future, don't do anything to hurt yourself."
Scarlett Evan was shocked. "Why you want to marry someone else, not Bella. Why? Bella is so good!"
James Grayson stood up and looked at Scarlett Evan with a straight face, "If you can't take care of Berlin, I will deprive you of his custody."
