Morgan, who was of the same thought, repeated after Lupine, “It’s undeniable that he’s an exceptional father.”
Charlotte was rendered speechless by the duo since she couldn’t share the truth with them. She had no choice but to suffer in silence.
Meanwhile, Zachary had a great time making fun of Charlotte.
Out of nowhere, Ben mentioned, “If I’m not mistaken, they’re going to make their way to Erihal at three o’clock tomorrow.”
The trio in the car went dead silent since they were certain Charlotte was about to leave for good.
“Mr. Nacht, haven’t you thought of anything to stop them? Can you get Ms. Lindberg to stay here?” Marino brought up an absurd request out of nowhere.
“I wish she’s going to change her mind and stay here, but—”
Halfway through his sentence, Zachary paused. He was of the same idea, but he couldn’t do anything to change her mind.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do to change her mind as of now.
Ben begged to differ. He said, “Things had gotten to the point of no return because of Mr. Nacht’s aunt. I think it’s great for them to leave and take a breather for the time being. If there’s something you wish to do, I think it’s better to put everything into action two months later when we go over to pick up Ellie.”
“Well, let’s hope things turn out just fine at the end of the day.”
Zachary had long thought of the things Ben brought up. That was precisely the reason he sent Ellie Charlotte’s way and insisted on having their daughter make the trip to Erihal.
I’ll definitely sort everything out within two months! Hopefully, she’s going to figure out it’s not easy for her to start all over again as a member of the Lindberg family!
Marino let out a long sigh of despair, but he dared not share his concerns with others as much as he was against the idea of sending them off.
“Hurry up!” Zachary urged upon another glimpse at his watch. Since it was Henry’s funeral, there were a lot of things that would require his attention.
“Yes!”
Charlotte, who had made her way to deal with the person in charge of the project, had to postpone her plan as most of them had made their way to Henry’s funeral.
As infuriated as she might be, she knew it wouldn’t be wise to make a fuss out of it since it was someone else’s funeral.
When she was about to return, she received a call from Danrique. Once she picked it up, she greeted the man, “Danrique!”
“I want you to show up for Mr. Nacht’s funeral!”
“H-Huh?” Charlotte thought she had been hearing things since Danrique held a strong grudge against Henry.
Why does Danrique want me to be there when he’s not even on good terms with him? He might have passed on, but there’s no way Danrique’s going to forgive him!
Danrique repeated himself when Charlotte was in a state of bewilderment, “I have everything ready on our behalf.”
“Danrique, what exactly are you up to?” Charlotte asked in an attempt to figure out the things Danrique had in store for Henry.
“What? Are you afraid?”
Charlotte was at a loss for words when she heard Danrique’s question. In spite of the grudges she held against Henry, she thought it was time to let bygones be bygones.
She was afraid Danrique would make a scene during Henry’s funeral. At the end of the day, he was her children’s great-grandfather. Since her children would be there as well, she didn’t want to get them involved in the family feud.
“Just listen to me!” Danrique hung up the call once he made himself clear she had no choice but to do as instructed.
Grasping her phone with all her might, Charlotte started frowning in fear of the things awaiting the members of the Nacht family.
It was then Lupine received a call and announced shortly after she wrapped up the conversation, “Mr. Lindberg has instructed his men to get everything ready on our behalf. He wants us to meet him at five o’clock.”
“Alright.”
Lupine asserted in a hushed voice, “You need to take it easy since I don’t think he’s going to try anything reckless. Perhaps he’s just trying to show the guests the person in charge of Lindberg Corporation is a forgiving man.”
Charlotte instructed, “I want you to get me the guest list of the funeral. Try to figure out if any journalist is allowed to be there.”
“Yes!” Lupine made a few calls to figure out the potential guests showing up for Henry’s funeral.
In the meantime, Morgan asked, “Where are we heading now?”
“We’ll make our way back for the time being,” Charlotte answered with her face puckered.
“Alright.” Morgan took note of Charlotte’s instructions and drove in the direction of Rokan Hill.
As soon as Lupine found out the potential guests, she announced, “Ms. Lindberg, the officials of the city, and the stakeholders of Nacht Group will be showing up. On top of that, the late Mr. Nacht’s friends, including the corporate players and politicians, will be there as well. However, no journalists are allowed inside the hall.”
