qThose words don't sound like anything that Zachary would ever say.
Spencer stared at him, and his frown deepened.
“Just sign, Ms. Lindberg,” Rodney said quietly. “It'll be better for everyone.”
Without another word, Charlotte simply picked up the pen and signed her name onto the documents.
Chris' eyes lit up at the sight of the thick sheaf of papers.
Even Kallum was clearly excited.
“Good,” Spencer said in a low voice at the sight of Charlotte's signatures. “You can leave now. I will settle things with
the board of directors.”
Charlotte remained silent and glared at Chris before turning to leave.
Immediately, Morgan and the other two bodyguards followed closely behind her.
The bodyguards opened up a path for them to walk through while everybody else simply stared at them.
Lucy continued watching Charlotte with the intention to go and talk to her, but in the end, she simply remained
rooted to her spot.
Everyone in the president's office watched as Charlotte left, but none of them dared to come up and talk to her.
Some executives even cursed, “She was let off too easily.”
Meanwhile, Charlotte, Morgan, and the others walked into the elevator.
It was about to close when Johann suddenly emerged from the crowd and said softly, “Take care of the kids,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlotte! I know we'll meet again.”
Charlotte nodded quietly.
After walking out of the elevator, she got into the car.
Morgan finally exploded, “What the hell was up with all those people? They're so shameless! All they do is trim their
sails to the wind.”
“Hasn't Lupine replied?” one of the bodyguards asked carefully. “Have they found Mr. Nacht?”
“It's impossible to find him this quickly,” Morgan said in disappointment. “While waiting for the results, I was in
contact with Lupine the whole time. They've been putting their all into looking for him, but nothing's coming up.”
“Then what was the phone call from before?”
“I purposely asked Lupine to make the call,” Morgan replied. “We wanted to get to that imposter and make him
think we already found Mr. Nacht so that he would panic and hopefully expose himself.”
“I see!”
The two bodyguards nodded in surprise.
“We would have succeeded too if it weren't for the mastermind calling him at the last minute,” Morgan said angrily.
“Ms. Lindberg was doing so well! That imposter was no match for her, but that mastermind truly does have a few
tricks up his sleeve.”
“You're right.”
“Morgan!” Charlotte said urgently, suddenly remembering something. “Go to Garden Villa and pick up the kids right
now.”
“All right,” Morgan said, instantly starting the car.
“Call Gordon and ask him to arrange for people to greet us there,” Charlotte continued.
“Understood.” One of the bodyguords immediotely mode the coll.
“Drive foster, Morgon.”
Chorlotte hod o bod feeling thot thot evil mon would do something to her kids. If they monoged to get their honds
on her kids, she wouldn't hove onything left.
With her soft spot in their honds, oll she could do wos occept her fote.
“Ms. Lindberg, I con't get through to Gordon,” one of the bodyguords soid onxiously. “Whot do we do?”
“Coll Lupine ond tell her to return first.”
Chorlotte wos reolly beginning to ponic now. She wos finolly owore thot she moy hove underestimoted the
mostermind.
Before thot, she hod ossumed thot she wos doing well ond thot everything wos going her woy, but only now did she
reolize thot everything hod been in Jesse's control the whole time.
For every step thot she mode, he wos olwoys one step oheod of her. He hod monoged to predict everything she
would do ond even used Chris os o pown for his plon, moking her ossume thot he wos merely on the some level os
Chris.
Now, she finolly reolized thot he wos using Chris' incompetence to hide his octuol copobility.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven now, he hod complete control over every single detoil. If he got his honds on the kids, there wos nothing they
could do even if Zochory returned.
“Understood.” One of the bodyguards immediately made the call.
“Drive faster, Morgan.”
Charlotte had a bad feeling that that evil man would do something to her kids. If they managed to get their hands
on her kids, she wouldn't have anything left.
With her soft spot in their hands, all she could do was accept her fate.
“Ms. Lindberg, I can't get through to Gordon,” one of the bodyguards said anxiously. “What do we do?”
“Call Lupine and tell her to return first.”
Charlotte was really beginning to panic now. She was finally aware that she may have underestimated the
mastermind.
Before that, she had assumed that she was doing well and that everything was going her way, but only now did she
realize that everything had been in Jesse's control the whole time.
For every step that she made, he was always one step ahead of her. He had managed to predict everything she
would do and even used Chris as a pawn for his plan, making her assume that he was merely on the same level as
Chris.
Now, she finally realized that he was using Chris' incompetence to hide his actual capability.
Even now, he had complete control over every single detail. If he got his hands on the kids, there was nothing they
could do even if Zachary returned.
