“I thought Mr. Nacht has repented his mistakes after what happened to Cynthia. However, he still sent some men to
keep an eye on us,” Lupine said disgruntledly.
“He won’t repent easily…” Charlotte snickered and said, “I understand that he wants the give the best to the
children. However, if he stops me from going after Zara, I’ll not hold back anymore!”
“We’re still searching for Zara. Humph! She’s really good at hiding. On the other hand, Sharon is being kept at
Southridge ever since she was captured. Do you think we should get her, given that the Nacht family is in trouble
now?” said Lupine.
“It’s fine,” Charlotte replied without hesitation, “Sharon is just a nobody, and we don’t have to waste our time on
her. For now, let’s focus on searching for Zara!”
There was another reason Charlotte let Sharon off the hook for now—she didn’t want to have a row with Zachary
because Ellie was undergoing treatment. As such, she would settle a score with Zachary after Ellie recovered.

hospital. Anyway, it’s time for me to take over the shift.”
“Okay.” Then, Charlotte nodded in response and stood up to go with Lupine. “I want to visit Morgan.”
“It’s rather late now. Why don’t you get some rest?” Lupine said, “Dr. Felch has checked up on Morgan and
prescribed some medicine for her too. I believe she’ll recover soon.”
“I’ll feel relieved only after visiting her.” Charlotte felt guilty whenever she recalled that Morgan was shot because
she wanted to save Charlotte. “After Mrs. Berry died because of me, I don’t want anyone to get hurt for me
anymore!”
Many people from the upper class didn’t value their subordinates and maids at all. Hence, Lupine felt touched
because Charlotte treated them as her family.
Later, Charlotte went to Morgan’s room. When Charlotte wanted to open the door, she heard Morgan speaking in a
soft voice over the phone.
Since Charlotte knew that Morgan was calling Marino, she withdrew her hand from the doorknob and murmured to
herself, “Well, I shouldn’t disturb her.”
“She must be drenched in love now,” Lupine added teasingly.
“It’s not a bad thing, isn’t it?” Charlotte smiled and continued, “You guys should live your own life instead of sticking
around me.”
After returning to her room, Charlotte took a shower and blow-dried her hair.
When Charlotte lay on the bed to get some rest, she realized that it was silent upstairs. Deep down, she felt
surprised that Zachary didn’t make any noise.
Charlotte was probably exhausted, for she fell asleep soon with a pillow in her arms.
Meanwhile, Zachary, who was upstairs, couldn’t fall asleep. Although I’m closer to her now, I can’t be right next to
her. I wonder what she’s doing now?
Zachary walked to the balcony and secretly looked downstairs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was surprised to find out that the lights were off. At that time, only some faint light passed through the curtains.
How could the heartless woman fall asleep?
Zachary cursed in his heart and returned to his room to get some sleep.
……
At the Garden Villa, Henry didn’t go to bed, for he had to wait for the news from Northridge.
Although his subordinate, Cain, had reported the situation to him over the phone, Henry couldn’t put his mind at
ease and wanted to hear it from him in person.
Cain rushed back to the Garden Villa and reported, “Mr. Zachary stays in Northridge, along with Bruce and a
subordinate. They’ve parked a car in the courtyard while the rest have left.”
“Are you sure they stay there and not putting up an act?” Henry seemed a bit unconvinced.
“I’m sure,” Cain said with certainty, “Bruce also carried two large suitcases for Mr. Zachary.”
“In that case, it’s confirmed.” Spencer was delighted.
“But it’s weird,” Henry said worriedly, “even if Charlotte let the cheeky rascal stay for the sake of their children,
Danrique wouldn’t agree to it. Since Danrique is so overbearing, I can hardly believe he will allow Charlotte to do
so.”
