“Bruce already has the airport surrounded, and he claimed that Lupine is there too. I’m guessing Ms. Lindberg came to the same conclusion as you did,” informed Ben.
“Search everywhere. We must find them!” commanded Zachary.
“Understood,” replied Ben before he relayed the message.
Zachary looked out the window. The sky was gloomy, and it felt like something huge was about to happen.
For some reason, he felt like something was off.
Just then, the Lindberg family’s convoy zipped past from the side. They were as quick as the wind.
Zachary’s chauffeur yelped and exclaimed, “That Morgan really knows how to drive.”
“Marino isn’t here, so there is no way we can overtake them. Just focus on being safe and drive slowly,” reminded Ben.
“Understood.”
“They should be heading to the airport as well,” said Ben as he turned to look at Zachary. The former added, “Don’t worry, Mr. Nacht. We have so many people on our side, so there is no way Sharon can flee H City.”
“Yeah,” muttered Zachary. He got his phone out to call the police and ask about the details of how Sharon escaped prison. He hoped to find some clue.
At the same time, Charlotte was looking out the window and looking as grim as the gloomy weather.
She had received proper treatment, so her illness no longer hurt her as much. Still, she would get strangely agitated whenever it rained.
She analyzed everything and came to the same conclusion that Zachary did.
Thinking back, she remembered how Olivia looked off and wanted to confess something when Charlotte left that afternoon. Her guilt was probably eating her alive.
The silver lining was that Charlotte believed that Olivia would never hurt Ellie. It is still f*cked up that she obeyed the criminal’s words and kidnapped Ellie to rescue Peter.
Cynthia poisoned Ellie and hurt Ellie so badly. Ellie’s medical condition has just turned for the better when someone kidnapped her. Her weakened physical state can’t handle the stress. If anything were to happen…
Charlotte didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen.
“That woman is vile. You’ve always treated Olivia nicely, but she betrayed you for a guy,” growled Morgan angrily, “If I ever get my hands on her, I will freaking skin her alive!”
“If the situation was switched and someone kidnapped Marino to force your hand, what would you do?” challenged Charlotte.
“I will save him myself. If I fail to do so, then we’ll just die together. It’s nothing to be afraid of. I will never drag an innocent person down with me and will never betray you for anything or anyone,” replied Morgan without hesitating.
“That’s good to know.”
Charlotte tapped Morgan’s shoulder and was a little touched. Unfortunately, the former soon thought about Olivia, and that got her down once more. I am careful with everyone, but I never had my guard up against Olivia. I never thought that she’d betray me…
Even at that moment, Charlotte still couldn’t accept the truth.
“At the end of the day, that assh*le, Zachary Nacht, is to be blamed. None of this would’ve happened if he hadn’t hidden Sharon away or handed her to the police. Everything would’ve been fine if he had just let you shoot that woman!” growled Morgan angrily when she thought about it.
Charlotte didn’t reply to that. Morgan is straightforward, and she doesn’t always use nice words, but she always tells the truth.
Just then, Charlotte thought of something. Even if Sharon had planned ahead and sent someone to kidnap Peter and threaten Olivia, it still wouldn’t add up.
Synder Group has declared bankruptcy. Assuming that Sharon got lucky and slipped out of prison, she still could not afford to hire anyone to fake being the Nacht family’s convoy. So who sponsored her and helped her take Olivia and Ellie away?
There is a mastermind behind it all.
But… both Zara and Cynthia are dead while Taylor is imprisoned. Who else is there to help her out?
Moreover, that person must be powerful. How else could he or she have a fake Nacht family convoy?
Who could it be?
Charlotte simply couldn’t make heads or tails of the matter…
“You know, it’s strange,” commented Morgan suddenly, “Sharon should be on her own when she kidnapped Olivia and Ellie, so by right, we should’ve already found her. Lupine had so many people with her, so why haven’t they found anyone?”
