Charlotte kept quiet and stared down as she fell into deep thought.
Lupine noticed her employer’s discontent, and she quickly calmed her down, “Don’t worry, Ms. Lindberg. I’ve sent our men on a search for Olivia. I’m sure we’ll find her.”
“I’m not sure if you guys have noticed this, but someone’s been one step ahead of us all this time.” She narrowed her eyes dangerously. “They seem to know my every move.”
“Who are you talking about, Ms. Lindberg?” Lupine asked.
Charlotte kept quiet instead of answering. “Did you guys find out anything about Zachary’s marriage?”
“No,” Lupine answered. “A simple Google search should have done it, but everything’s deleted when we tried to look into it.”
“I see. So that’s how it is.” Charlotte sneered. Her bodyguards looked at each other in terror, for they didn’t know why their employer would smile. “Capture Peter,” she ordered.
“Understood.” Lupine immediately called someone to relay the job.
Charlotte took out her phone and spun it. “My phone’s fully charged before I went out, right?”
“Yes. I was the one who unplugged it.” Morgan was sure about it. “Is it dead now? Might be something wrong.”
Charlotte didn’t answer. Instead, she plugged her phone into the charger in her car. “The Pagani has a tracker installed, right? See where it is right now.”
Lupine was surprised about the order, but she nodded. “Okay.”
…
Zachary tossed the key to Marino. “Drive it to Happy Avenue.”
“Understood.” Marino drove away.
“Will we be going to Ashenville Garden or back home, Mr. Nacht?” Ben opened the door for Zachary.
“Ashenville Garden.” Zachary took his mask off and looked at Ben. “Did you talk it through with Olivia?”
“Yes.” He nodded. “We didn’t hurt her because she’s Ms. Windt’s friend, but we’re keeping her in the villa and cut off all communication. She’s also under supervision at all times. We detained Kristi too because she knows Ms. Windt and is friends with Olivia. She might know something.”
“Do not let Charlotte see Olivia at all costs,” Zachary said solemnly. “I’ll tell Charlotte everything once I send Henry away and see Dr. Felch.”
“That soon? Will she forgive you?” Ben was nervous.
“I wanted to wait a little longer too. At least until everything is settled if possible, but it’s unlikely now.” He frowned. “Charlotte’s too smart. I can’t hide anything from her. She’s probably looking into my past now. I bet there’s a tracker on that Pagani.”
“Wait, does that mean Marino’s in danger?” Ben quickly asked.
“No.” Zachary was sure about that. “She wouldn’t do anything reckless even for answers.”
“I see.” Ben was still nervous though. “But if she takes a look at the house on Happy Avenue, she’ll know she spent her life there with the kids. The place is still the same, and the photos of her, Mrs. Berry, and the kids are still there.”
“She’ll find out about it sooner or later,” Zachary answered. “At least when she finds out about it, it will be thanks to my guidance. And that’s a good thing.”
“But she’ll be able to link that to you once she finds out about that.” Ben frowned. “With the way she is now, she’ll probably go to war against you once she knows of the past.”
“No, she won’t, since the triplets are with me.” He fiddled with the wedding ring. “Once Henry is gone, I’ll take the kids to her and awaken her maternal instincts.”
