Chapter 1492 On Deck
“Speak of the devil,” Charlotte said and answered the phone immediately.
“Ms. Lindberg!”
“Gordon, it’s great to hear from you again.”
Urgently requiring aid, she quickly asked, “Are you still in Erihal? Have you made contact with Danrique?”
“Not yet,” Gordon replied. “However, I’ve confirmed that Mr. Lindberg is still alive and is safe. Hence, I’ve returned
to H City to protect you and the triplets.”
“You’re back in H City? That’s great!” Charlotte exclaimed. “Your timing can’t be any better. I need help now!”
“We just arrived at the airport and are at your beck and call.”
“Bring your men to Nacht Group now,” Charlotte instructed immediately.
“Understood, I’ll come over now!”
“No, wait…”
All of a sudden, Charlotte calmed down. There are already rumors that claim that I returned to the Nacht family for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrevenge under Danrique’s command. If his men are to appear by my side at this juncture, it’ll only raise more
suspicions.
“Don’t worry about it. I brought some new faces along with me this time. No one will recognize them.”
Gordon understood her concerns.
“When I met with Sean in Erihal, I had some of his men join me. Although they’ve always been following Mr.
Lindberg, they never showed themselves in public. Therefore, no one knows who they are. During the press
conference, I’ll lay low and protect you in secret. At the same time, I’ll try to find out the culprit who engineered
this.”
“What a well-thought-out plan,” Charlotte praised, delighted. “Then, come here right now. I’ll send Lupine to receive
you.”
“All right.”
As soon as she ended the call, Lupine immediately said, “That’s great. With Gordon around, we’ve gotten ourselves
a great aid.”
“He sure appeared at such a good timing.” Charlotte was also exhilarated, but she soon started casting doubt on
Gordon’s timely arrival. “Wait, it feels like he returned to H City earlier than expected because he foresaw I would
be in trouble.”
“Didn’t he mention that he had originally planned to return here? It’s just a coincidence.”
Charlotte shook her head. “No, I don’t think it’s a coincidence but more like he had planned to return to protect me
from the very beginning.”
“Maybe—”
“Maybe Danrique found out what happened to the Nacht family and is worried about me. That’s why he sent
Gordon to my aid,” Charlotte deduced. “Danrique has always been like this, tough on the outside but soft on the
inside.”
“You are right.”
Lupine was gratified that Charlotte managed to hit the mark, even though she had not said anything.
“Let’s start prepping.” Charlotte shifted her focus back to the matter at hand. Glancing at her watch, she exhorted,
“We can’t lose this battle. Or else, I will be disappointing Zachary.”
“It’s going to be fine. After all, we’re innocent,” Lupine consoled her. “All right. I’ll go make the arrangements for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsecurity.”
“Go on.”
Clutching her phone, Charlotte paced the office. It’s already ten, an hour till the press conference.
Since Gordon would be in charge of security, she could finally heave a sigh of relief.
She could rebut the accusations the media had thrown at her and even provide evidence to the contrary.
However, she had no idea what would ensue.
While she was out in the open, the culprit remained hidden in the dark. It was impossible to be prepared for the
lurking threats.
Nonetheless, there was no point in mulling over it. She could only cross that bridge when she came to it.
Charlotte sat down and continued her work. Regardless of the situation, she had to remain levelheaded.
In the meantime, Lucy had informed others that the press conference was rescheduled while Lupine met with
Gordon to settle the arrangements for security.
“Gordon, this is a detailed plan of the building. I’ll distribute a copy to each of your men just in case.”
“Mmm.” Gordon took the plans from her. Without even looking at them, he passed them to his men. “I’ve seen it
before. Everything is in my mind.”q
