Chapter 1356
“That kid is quite pitiful...” Charlotte could not help but feel sorry for Timothy. “He's the same age as Ellie, yet he
has already experienced the dark side of humanity. I'm afraid that he would be deeply traumatized by what had
happened.”
“That kid is quite pitiful...” Charlotte could not help but feel sorry for Timothy. “He's the same age as Ellie, yet he
has already experienced the dark side of humanity. I'm afraid that he would be deeply traumatized by what had
happened.”
“Yeah, I heard that he stabbed Helena with a knife at the wedding,” Lupine said regrettably. “Was he only four years
old back then?”
“Mm.” Charlotte sighed and said, “A four-year-old kid is supposed to be innocent, not ridden with hatred.” At the
end of her sentence, she let out another sigh.
“News about that incident can still be found on the internet,” Lupine said softly. “Photos and videos of it are also still
available.”
“After the Sterling family's downfall, they probably could not afford to have all traces of it removed from the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinternet.” Shaking her head, Charlotte smiled bitterly. “I'll let you handle it. Wipe out everything related to that boy.
Otherwise, he may be triggered if he chances upon them after growing up.”
“Sure,” Lupine replied, dealing with the matter right away.
As the two of them chatted, the car soon arrived at Skyview Hotel.
It was a five-star hotel that only started operating a few years back. As it was situated near the coast of the South
Sea, guests had access to a vast sea view through the windows.
Recalling Morgan's mention of Zachary and Nancy's date, Lupine remarked, “I think Seacrest Restaurant is just
nearby.”
“That's none of our business,” Charlotte replied in displeasure. “Stop gossiping about others.”
“Yes.” Lupine quickly lowered her head and did not dare to speak any further.
“Charlotte?”
Charlotte looked up, searching for that familiar voice that she had just heard. Then, she saw Michael standing at a
distance. He was looking at her excitedly.
“Michael!” Overjoyed, Charlotte quickly strode toward the man. “It's been such a long time! You... You look so
different!”
Michael used to look like a dreamy artist, spotting long hair with a slender figure and a melancholic look. However,
he had gotten a haircut and was wearing a suit, looking absolutely dashing and sharp.
A calm and composed look also replaced his usual sorrowful gaze.
“Two years ago, because of what happened to Helena, my uncle's company was seized. My dad was so upset that
he fell ill, so I had no choice but to step up and take the helm.”
Michael was overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions when he saw Charlotte.
“Back then, my family forced me to break off all ties with the outside world and had me learn the ropes in
seclusion. That was why I couldn't attend your wedding and was unaware that you were in an accident... I'm so
sorry.”
“Please don't say that.” Charlotte felt guilty. “You have always been there for me, helping me whenever I'm in deep
water. However, I have never done anything for you. That incident was my own predicament, and it was something
I had to overcome by myself.”
“I've heard so much about the second-largest shareholder of Lindberg Corporation, who is rumored to be an
extremely charismatic lady. I've never expected that person to be you!”
Michael got increasingly emotional as he spoke. “I've been busy with doing business in Dartan in recent years and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdid not have time to find out what's happening in the corporate world here. That was why I missed out on your
news. When I got back this time around, I heard my friends mentioning that lady by chance, but they couldn't be
sure if it were you. I used all means to get your number and tried to contact you, but I did not expect you to
really...”
At that, he paused and hugged Charlotte tightly before continuing, “Charlotte, I'm so glad to see you again. I'm so
happy!”
“Me too.”
Charlotte returned his hug as warmth filled her heart. Even though they had gone through their fair share of
tribulations in life, Michael never changed, so was the pure and genuine friendship they shared.
“It's really windy here. Let's chat inside.” Michael put his arms around her shoulders as they entered the hotel
together. “Charlotte, how did you become the second-largest shareholder of Lindberg Corporation?”
“Actually, I'm no longer a shareholder there.” She let out a bitter laugh and continued, “But I'm indeed a Lindberg.
My name is Charlotte Lindberg now.”
“What happened? How have you been doing for the past two years?” he asked in concern. “Didn't you marry
Zachary?”
“It's a long story...” Charlotte proceeded to summarize her life over the past two years to him.
