Zachary took one look at the girl and immediately recognized her.
Though she had been missing for two years, the image of her face was clearly etched on his memory.
He knew, for sure, she was Charlotte Windt!
“But she said her family name is Lindberg,” Lucy said cautiously, “And she said her name is Charlotte
Lindberg.”
“She didn’t seem to know Lucy and me, and I don’t think she was acting.” Johann added, “We have to
be careful, Mr. Nacht, since she’s one of the Lindbergs.”
“I know.” Zachary waved his hand in the air to dismiss his concern. “I know my limits.”
The bodyguard then opened the door for Lucy and Johann to get down from his car.
“Find out who Charlotte Lindberg is,” Zachary ordered while trying to suppress his emotions.
“Yes, Sir,” Ben answered.
Zachary kept looking at the clip on the notebook was overwhelmed by mixed emotions.
Is that her?
She has returned!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid she decide to come back after adopting a new identity?
It was as if she intentionally outbid him merely to challenge his authority.
“We have updates,” Ben immediately reported after ending a call, “Charlotte Lindberg is Danrique
Lindberg’s younger sister. She has just returned to the country to help run the Lindberg Corporation
after completing her studies in Anglandur.”
“She holds twenty percentage of Lindberg Corporation’s shares and is the second major shareholder of
the company,” Ben continued, “She has yet to make a mark in the business world, and she has made
her first public appearance in today’s auction!”
“Twenty percent…” A sudden frown warped Zachary’s face. “Zara holds ten percent of the shares, and
whereas Chris owns five percent. This means the girl named Charlotte has more shares than the two
combined!”
“That’s right.” Ben nodded. “She’s definitely not a small fry! Come to think of it, if Danrique was the one
who rescued Ms. Windt a few years ago…”
Zachary’s eyes instantly darkened. “We didn’t know much about what happened in Coldbridge as a lot
of records had been erased. We’ve been looking high and low for Charlotte but to no avail. The
Lindbergs must be the mastermind behind her disappearance.”
“That’s right. I can’t believe we actually overlooked it.” Ben nodded. “We’ve spent the last two years
tracking Ms. Windt down, but we never suspected the Lindbergs, who clearly have all the power and
resources to keep her away from us!”
Ben then paused for a moment before making a disclaimer. “But that’s merely our speculation. This Ms.
Lindberg might not be Ms. Windt. Or she could be someone Danrique hired to play mind games with
you.”
Upon hearing that remark, Zachary kept mum and went deep in thought. If this mysterious Ms.
Lindberg really is Charlotte, then it’s clear that Danrique was aware of Charlotte’s identity. This is why
he intentionally hid her away for a few years before bringing her back to take me down.
But even if that girl is not Charlotte, I still believe Danrique had already found out who Charlotte was.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the trouble to find Charlotte’s doppelgänger to mess with my head.
But what are the odds?
I have a hunch that Charlotte Lindberg is Charlotte Windt.
Nothing else bothered Zachary anymore. At this point, he just wanted to find out if Charlotte Lindberg
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas Charlotte Windt. “Get someone to investigate Ms. Lindberg. And I want to meet her.”
“Yes, Sir!” Ben replied.
Suddenly, Zachary’s phone rang. Upon seeing the number on the screen, he answered immediately,
“Yes, Robbie?”
“Daddy, the school’s orientation day is going to start soon. Where are you?”
Robbie, who was now six years old, seemed more mature than his peers.
Zachary took a look at his watch. “I’ll be on my way!”
“Hurry up, Daddy. Jamie and Ellie are waiting for you too.”
“All right,” Zachary gave Ben a hand signal.
Ben then instructed the driver, Marino, to speed up by patting him on the shoulder.
After ending the call, Zachary ordered, “The gifts for the kids are at home. Get someone to retrieve it as
soon as possible.”
“Yes, Sir.” Ben made another call.
Zachary took another glance at his watch and told Marino to drive even faster.
Marino accelerated and sped to the Golden Apple elementary school.
All of a sudden, they rammed into a Rolls-Royce Phantom…
