“It seems like that’s the only way…” Lupine observed Charlotte’s expression closely. “Ms. Lindberg, don’t worry. You will surely get the chance to approach Mr. Nacht at the banquet.”
“I know,” Charlotte responded briefly, her face darkening.
“What’s wrong?” Lupine asked with concern. “Are you still worrying about your kids?”
“I have no confidence I can persuade Zachary.” Charlotte furrowed her brows tightly. “We’ve put in so much effort for this. But even if I can meet him, it most probably won’t end well.”
“I reckoned he’ll be a tough nut to crack with his temper, too.” Lupine sounded worried as well.
“Maybe we should carry out both plans simultaneously,” Morgan uttered without hesitation. “You’ll go talk to Mr. Nacht, and I’ll sneak into the villa to get the kids. With that, we won’t have to worry if he agrees to our terms or not.”
“Wow. What a perfect plan.” Lupine rolled her eyes. “So, what then? What are we supposed to tell the kids?”
“We’ve been overthinking. That’s why we’re always at a disadvantage.” Morgan was somehow displeased. “Mr. Nacht didn’t care so much when he took the kids. He even banned them from contacting Ms. Lindberg. He has crossed the line, yet you’re still thinking of dealing with him peacefully. I bet no matter what Ms. Lindberg says, he will never comply with it.”
Lupine was rendered speechless by Morgan’s words. She pondered for a while and eventually nodded. “I guess there’s some sense in your words. But still, we’re the ones who wronged him first…”
“What are you talking about?” Morgan was enraged. “The Nacht family was the one who abandoned Ms. Lindberg. They didn’t care about Ms. Lindberg’s health and sent her and Mrs. Berry to T Nation. They had been through a hard time because of that. And Mrs. Berry even died in the end. Ms. Lindberg was rescued by Mr. Lindberg and came back stronger. She successfully took revenge for Mrs. Berry and eliminated Zara and Sharon. But she’s paid a high price to achieve that. You know all about it. The Nacht family trusted Cynthia and ended up causing Ellie to be poisoned. They let Ms. Lindberg get humiliated, and they even protected Zara. Despite constantly getting bullied, Ms. Lindberg still chose to give in to them. She did so for the kids’ sake. But what has the Nacht family done for the kids or the Lindberg family? Nothing!”
Upon hearing that, Lupine could not find any words to refute.
“Ms. Lindberg had broken up with Mr. Nacht. Thus, anything that happened between her and Sir Louis, or any other man, has nothing to do with Mr. Nacht. What makes him think he can treat Ms. Lindberg as he likes?”
Morgan was beyond exasperated as she recalled Zachary’s previous behavior toward Charlotte.
“He got pissed and took the kids away forcefully. He acted as if Ms. Lindberg had betrayed him. Who knows how many women he had had after he chased Ms. Lindberg away? He got caught in bed with Cynthia back in Storm Hotel and Ashenville Garden. It even got to the headline, and Cynthia was naked at that time. Have you forgotten about those?”
“That’s right.” Lupine furrowed her brows tightly. “I almost forgot about it after Cynthia died.”
“Well, I remember it perfectly.” Morgan was filled with utter resentment. “Anyway, he is the one who wronged Ms. Lindberg first. What Ms. Lindberg’s done is reasonable. He has no right to take the kids away just like that.”
“Morgan’s right.” Charlotte’s expression turned solemn. “I shouldn’t get carried away by him this time!”
