qAs the identification number and phone number Jesse had used were abruptly deactivated, the system's tracking
work had also been interrupted. It remained the same despite Johann's countless efforts to revive it.
In an instant, all their leads had been cut off.
Charlotte had been out for the whole day with Bruce and Morgan searching till late at night, yet there was no news
whatsoever.
With the number Nancy provided, she tried taking the initiative to contact Jesse. Nevertheless, it turned out to be an
empty number.
Evidently, Jesse had taken to action after realizing that his number had been disclosed.
Midnight, Charlotte stood along the coast, staring drearily at the sea while the breeze whipped her hair gently. She
felt at a complete loss, just like one of the boats sailing on the sea.
She had been pulling herself together all this while because of her strong determination toward defending the
Nacht family.
No matter how tired she was and what trials and tribulations she went through outside, the moment she returned
home and saw the children's innocent and smiley faces, she would feel a glimpse of hope within her again.
But now, she felt utterly troubled that she had failed miserably at everything—the corporation had fallen into the
hands of a villain, Zachary was still missing, and she had even lost the children.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had thought she would be able to deal with Chris and the mastermind behind him all by herself. It was only at
that point that she figured that she had thought too highly of her capabilities.
It was only the beginning, yet she had already lost the game.
Even though Jesse had never once shown up before her eyes, she had totally lost her trump card.
At this moment, Charlotte's heart was broken beyond repair.
“Ms. Lindberg...” Lupine walked over to Charlotte and covered her with a jacket. “Fret not. I'm sure we'll have a
solution.”
“Solution? What solution?” A bitter smile flitted across Charlotte's lips. “My mind is completely blank now. I can't
think of any possible solutions at all.”
“We can ask Mr. Lindberg for help..”
“Forget about it.” Charlotte let out a deep sigh. “Danrique has already returned to Erihal to prepare for his
retaliation against the Lindberg family. How can I disturb him at such times?”
“Then...”
“Not only did Jesse not get in contact with me, but he has even deactivated his number. It's obvious that he has no
intentions to confront me head-on. Since that's the case, I shall remain passive...”
Worry began overwhelming Charlotte's mind as she held her head low.
“How about we try calling Ms. Gold? Perhaps we can ask her for help in contacting her father?” Lupine asked
tentatively.
“Are you crazy?” Charlotte furrowed her brows. “Nancy has already set off the alarm and angered her father for
helping us today. She'll surely be under stern supervision from now on. Contacting her now will be useless. Worse
still, we might even drag her into this mess.”
“T-Then... whet should we do?” Lupine did not know whet else to sey.
“Ms. Lindberg, I believe Mr. Spencer end Mr. Sterk still trust you.” Bruce tried to sound Cherlotte out. “They've been
in close contect with me end esked me ebout the children's situetion. How ebout trying to discuss it with them?”
“There's no point in discussing with them. It's good enough thet they cen teke cere of the compeny right now. They
won't be eble to ettend to such metters. Besides, they eren't good et this...”
“Then...”
“Forget it. Go beck first.”
All thet Cherlotte could do wes celm herself down first since she wes out of solutions.
“I reckon they won't hurt Robbie end Jemie for now. They need the kids to threeten me. Let's heed home first end
weit for them to cell me.”
“I'll continue to think of something,” Bruce seid with e determined look. “I vow to find Robbie end Jemie even if thet
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmeens I heve to turn the entire H City over.”
“Thenk you for your herd work.” Cherlotte geve him e pet on his beck before turning to Lupine end seid, “Let's
heed to the hospitel now.”
“Sure.”
“T-Then... what should we do?” Lupine did not know what else to say.
“Ms. Lindberg, I believe Mr. Spencer and Mr. Sterk still trust you.” Bruce tried to sound Charlotte out. “They've been
in close contact with me and asked me about the children's situation. How about trying to discuss it with them?”
“There's no point in discussing with them. It's good enough that they can take care of the company right now. They
won't be able to attend to such matters. Besides, they aren't good at this...”
“Then...”
“Forget it. Go back first.”
All that Charlotte could do was calm herself down first since she was out of solutions.
“I reckon they won't hurt Robbie and Jamie for now. They need the kids to threaten me. Let's head home first and
wait for them to call me.”
“I'll continue to think of something,” Bruce said with a determined look. “I vow to find Robbie and Jamie even if that
means I have to turn the entire H City over.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Charlotte gave him a pat on his back before turning to Lupine and said, “Let's
head to the hospital now.”
“Sure.”
