At the same time, Charlotte was blissfully fast asleep inside the closet without having a clue of what was happening
outside.
The bed shook violently as the man and woman engaged in a passionate session of lovemaking, utterly unaware of
the woman hidden inside the closet.
As Louis climaxed, he moaned again and again, “Charlotte, I love you.”
Tears welled in Diana’s eyes, but she bit her lip and held back her sobs.
I’ve waited years to become Louis’ woman. I can’t let my efforts go down the drain.
Outside the room, Lupine was on the way to Charlotte’s room when she bumped into the two female bodyguards.
She questioned, “Why are you both outside? Where’s Ms. Lindberg?”
“Ms. Lindberg is in her room,” came the reply.
“She’s alone inside? Is she asleep?” Lupine sounded worried.
“Sir Louis is inside too. We don’t know whether he has left,” the bodyguard answered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What?” Lupine knitted her brows. “Didn’t I ask you to stay with Ms. Lindberg at all times? She needs someone to
take care of her since she drank a lot of wine.”
“We were with her until Sir Louis said he wanted to talk to her in private. Initially, we wanted to go in, but Ms.
Lindberg told us to leave them alone,” one female bodyguard explained.
“Even so, you shouldn’t have gone far away. What if something happens? You should’ve stood guard outside the
room,” Lupine growled in displeasure.
“That was what we thought too. But Ms. Lindberg and Sir Louis are about to get married, so it didn’t seem right for
us to stand guard outside the room—”
“Cut the crap!”
“Yes.”
Lupine strode up the stairs to see Charlotte for herself.
Suddenly, a deafening bang came from outside.
She froze for a second before hurrying to the windows to see what was going on.
Thick plumes of cloud billowed from the stage, and flames blazed brightly. The maids screamed and descended into
a state of hysteria.
“What happened?” the bodyguards asked anxiously.
“The assassins might’ve sneaked in.” Lupine guessed as she studied the situation carefully. Frowning, she ordered,
“Go to Ms. Lindberg’s room and stand guard outside. Don’t go anywhere else. I shall go check on the children.”
“Got it!”
Although she had arrived on the corridor of the second floor, Lupine still spun on her heels and dashed down the
stairs.
She knew how much Charlotte adored the kids, so it would be a disaster if they got hurt.
Both bodyguards arrived outside Charlotte’s room and stood guard there.
Since the room’s soundproofing was top-notch and coupled with the chaos and explosions outside, they could not
hear a single sound inside the room.
At that moment, Louis had lost all sense of rationality, acting like a beast that succumbed to desire.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOutside, fireworks were blooming magnificently in the sky.
The kids jumped with joy and whooped gleefully at the spectacular sight.
Sherlyn and the maids were enjoying the fireworks with smiles hovering on their lips.
After running into the garden, Lupine belatedly realized that the loud explosion had come from the fireworks.
The magician had created the billowing smoke and fiery flames for suspense.
At first, the kids and maids were indeed shaken up, but they immediately cheered once they realized it was nothing
but a surprise.
Lupine breathed a sigh of relief as she looked up at the fireworks. Yes, the fireworks were splendid, but there was a
niggling anxiety in her heart.
“Lupine!” Right then, one of the Lindberg’s male bodyguards scurried over to her and warned gruffly, “Assassins
have infiltrated the manor. Protect the kids.”
“What?” Lupine blanched with horror.
She immediately contacted Morgan and commanded everyone to watch over the children. Nothing can happen to
them!
