Chapter 1583 Exhaustion
Hmm, I don’t think so. There might be some money in the amount, but the item must be something more important for Zachary to give Mrs. Rawlston a stern reminder. Mrs. Rawlston got cut off before she could reveal what it was. What did she want to say?
Charlotte turned the box inside out, but they were all her father’s and Mrs. Berry’s belongings. Besides that ruby necklace, there was nothing special.
She was puzzled.
However, there wasn’t time to ponder over the matter. She had to figure out a way to save Robbie and Jamie. Besides that, she would have to figure out Francesca’s whereabouts.
Charlotte kept the items carefully. She was about to text Bruce to ask for updates when another call arrived. It was from Lucy.
Without hesitation, Charlotte answered the call and greeted, “Hello, Lucy.”
“Hello, Ms. Lindberg. Are you all right?” Lucy asked in an apologetic tone. “I wanted to greet you before you left yesterday, but…”
“I understand,” Charlotte replied pleasantly. “I’m glad you took the initiative to call me.”
“Ms. Lindberg, I have no idea what happened and why Mr. Nacht did that. However, I trust you.”
“Thank you, Lucy—”
“Ms. Lindberg, Mr. Nacht asked to hold a board meeting this morning to adjust the work allocation. I’m worried because he didn’t inform Mr. Sterk.”
“Looks like they ostracized Johann as he’s on my side.” Charlotte knitted her brows. “They want to get rid of him this soon. That’s a hasty decision.”
“What should we do?” Lucy was flustered. “Ms. Lindberg, what exactly is going on? Mr. Nacht is a completely different man now. Something feels off.”
“Knowing too much won’t benefit you,” Charlotte said with her brows furrowed up. “Mr. Sterk’s position is at risk, so you have to protect yourself. Just do whatever they want. Let me know if something important happens.”
“But that’s betraying you, right?” Lucy couldn’t bring herself to do so. “It feels like they are going against Mr. Nacht’s previous wishes. If I did as told, I will be a traitor!”
“No, you’re a spy,” Charlotte assured her. “I need your help.”
“Really?” Lucy heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her words.
“Of course.” Charlotte’s mouth curved into a smile. “All right, you should go back to work. Remember, don’t let anyone know that we’re close. Just do your job.”
“Got it, Ms. Lindberg.”
Lucy hung up in a hurry.
Grasping her phone with all her might, Charlotte started grimacing. That person knows I won’t give up easily, so he or she wants to get the Nacht family’s assets as soon as possible. I have to figure out a solution soon. Otherwise, the Nacht family’s assets will be at risk.
As of now, the kids and Zachary were still missing.
Charlotte was at a loss. She couldn’t interfere in the company affairs too.
After signing the agreement, Chris was now in charge of the company. Both Spencer and Johann were shunned in the company, and she couldn’t do anything to rectify that.
Anxiousness engulfed her heart. She wanted to figure out a solution, but her mind was a mess.
“Ms. Lindberg, you should stop thinking and take a break. You’ve been up for almost two days. If this goes on, you might break down and fall ill!” Morgan advised anxiously.
Lupine chimed in, “Yes, now that everything is all right, you should sleep. We need to leave once Gordon updates us. What if you are too tired to travel?”
“Yes.” Charlotte was drained. “I need to rest. Otherwise, my brain is too tired to figure out a solution. I need to regain my energy to find Robbie and Jamie.”
