“I don’t know either. After he and Mr. Nacht sent the kids over, he didn’t contact me anymore.” Feigning indifference, she said, “I sent him a message, but he said that he was busy. From then on, I ignored him.”
“Did both of you fight?” asked Morgan concernedly.
“No.” Although Lupine felt indignant, her pride stopped her from admitting it. Instead, she pretended to say arrogantly, “I couldn’t care less if he contacts me or not.”
“Don’t be like this…”
“Shut up!” Charlotte’s solemn voice interrupted Morgan’s words. “Track Ben’s trail now!”
When Morgan and Lupine saw Charlotte’s reaction, they became serious as well.
“Understood.” Lupine immediately went to carry out her instructions.
“Ms. Lindberg, are you suspecting that something has happened on Mr. Nacht’s side?” asked Morgan uneasily. “No way!”
“Keep an eye on Marino and see where he and Zachary are headed. Report all their locations to me!” ordered Charlotte.
“Yes, Ms. Lindberg.” Not daring to ask any more questions, she headed off immediately.
When dealing with official matters, Lupine and Morgan would always take Charlotte’s instructions seriously. They would not affect her plan because of personal reasons.
Charlotte had complete conviction regarding this fact.
In contrast, she did not believe Zachary as much.
Previously, she had not realized it yet and thought that Zachary had really gone to deal with work. Yet, when Lupine and Morgan mentioned that Ben had not appeared for a long time, she finally discovered that something was wrong.
Ben was Zachary’s assistant. Wherever Zachary went, he would need Ben by his side.
Even if Ben did not stay with them because it was inconvenient, it did not explain his disappearance.
Furthermore, he even stopped contacting Lupine…
There must be something wrong.
Charlotte could tell from the start that Marino and Ben approached Lupine and Marino because they were following Zachary’s instructions.
If he could use his subordinates to gain information, she could do the same thing as well.
An eye for an eye!
Other than the battle between the two families in the business arena, there was another irresolvable conflict between them—Zara!
Two years ago, Zara instructed Sharon to assassinate her at T Nation and kill Mrs. Berry. Charlotte would definitely have to take revenge for that grudge.
However, after spending so much time and mobilizing all her manpower, she still could not capture Zara. Although Zara even appeared halfway through to assassinate her, she still managed to escape in the end.
Is Zara that impressive? Or is someone helping her in secret?
Charlotte always had her doubts regarding this.
When Zachary protected Sharon and hid her at Southridge, Charlotte was furious.
The only reason why she did not fly into a rage was because Ellie suddenly got poisoned and it was more important to treat her first.
Furthermore, Charlotte discovered that Zachary’s subordinates had been monitoring Sharon and even collected a lot of evidence about Zara instructing her to commit those crimes. Hence, Charlotte decided to watch the events would unfold and confirm if Zachary really intended to use Sharon to capture Zara.
After all, Sharon was only a minor character. The mastermind was Zara!
Yet, a new hypothesis emerged in Charlotte’s mind now.
Perhaps, Zachary or Henry was hiding Sharon!
The reason why Ben was so busy recently was that he was dealing with this.
If so, that would have crossed Charlotte’s absolute bottom line.
“Ms. Lindberg…” Lupine rushed forward and reported, “I just found out that Ben has been tracking Zara’s location. I can’t find where he is now and his phone is turned off. He is entirely uncontactable.”
“Continue searching for him.” Charlotte warned solemnly, “This is extremely important. Regardless of your relationship with him, you must remember at all times that I’m your master!”
“Understood. Don’t worry, Ms. Lindberg!”
