His words caused Charlotte to have an epiphany.
He’s right. Zachary is amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Now that the Lindberg Corporation is being bogged
down by a crisis, it will be futile to take the children by force. However, he has a weakness. As long as I bide my
time, I will definitely get to see the children again. After all, I bet they miss me too.
“Ms. Lindberg, you’re a smart woman. So, don’t let your emotions cloud your judgment,” Ben advised. “You should
head back now. I’m afraid the Laurent family will be looking for you soon.”
“Thank you!” After expressing her gratitude, Charlotte hurriedly left. Just when she stepped out the door, she
turned and looked at Nancy who was still lying on the sofa.
Zachary doesn’t look like he intends to send her away. Perhaps, he wants her to stay back and pleasure him.
Considering that Theo was someone discreet, he personally waited by the elevator for Charlotte and Lupine so that
he could lead them out the back door. With a humble attitude, he apologized repeatedly for his previous
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtindiscretion.
Finally, he even reassured them that no one else but those involved knew about the matter. Also, he allayed their
concerns by swearing not to tell a soul.
After expressing her gratitude, Charlotte quickly left with Lupine.
Morgan was already waiting at the car park. When she saw Charlotte, she apologized immediately, “I’m sorry, Ms.
Lindberg. We were discovered by Bruce the moment we infiltrated. He managed to stop us at once.”
“Did he hurt you?” Lupine asked.
“No.” Morgan shook her head. “They treated us civilly by only preventing us from reporting back and carrying out
our mission. It was only about twenty minutes ago that they kicked us out, telling us that negotiations had failed and
that I should come here and wait for Ms. Lindberg.”
“It appears Bruce and Ben are still being nice for old time’s sake.” Lupine snuck a glance in Charlotte’s direction.
At that moment, Charlotte was filled with frustration. Not only did the negotiations fail, but she had also been taken
for a ride by Zachary.
Consequently, she was at a loss as to how she could explain herself to Louis’ family.
“Let’s get in the car first.”
Lupine helped Charlotte in.
The moment the car drove off, Charlotte’s phone started to ring incessantly. It was Sherlyn.
Evidently, she had heard about what happened that night.
Considering Louis was beaten badly by Zachary, Robert and Sherlyn would definitely not let the matter slide.
“What does Lady Sherlyn want?” Morgan couldn’t help but ask. “Lupine, what happened just now?”
Lupine softly recounted the incident.
Morgan was utterly shocked. “How brazen can Zachary be? He actually…”
“Shush, enough.” Observing Charlotte’s expression, Lupine comforted her, “Ms. Lindberg, don’t worry. Let’s give
Lady Sherlyn a proper explanation when we return.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What’s there to explain?” Morgan had always been more simple-minded. “Since Ms. Lindberg doesn’t really want
to marry Sir Louis anyway, this is a good opportunity to cancel the wedding.”
“You are oversimplifying matters,” Lupine scoffed.
“Do you know how big tonight’s misunderstanding is? Mr. Nacht declared that he slept with Ms. Lindberg and even
beat up Sir Louis. Given the blow their reputation has suffered, the Laurent family will not take this lying down. Even
if they don’t have the guts to take any action against Mr. Nacht, they have every right to question Ms. Lindberg.
Furthermore, now that Mr. Lindberg is missing, we no longer have anyone to provide us support.”
“So what? It’s not like they pose a challenge to us.” Morgan didn’t see the Laurent family as a threat. “At most, we
will leave F Nation with the children. We will still be fine without their protection.”
“Whether we can even leave is another problem,” Lupine muttered.
“Do you mean the Laurents won’t allow us to do so?” Morgan knitted her eyebrows. “Are you sure? Even if
something has happened to Mr. Lindberg, Ms. Lindberg is still someone influential in the business world. Do they
actually dare to act with such insolence?”
