“Jamie…”
Before Charlotte could react, Jamie shielded Marino and spread his arms apart. He yelled angrily, “You’re not allowed to kill or touch anyone from the Nacht family!”
Gazing into Jamie’s clear eyes, Zara could not help but feel stunned.
She suddenly remembered that more than twenty years ago, the younger Zachary had once protected her like this before…
“Daddy’s going to come soon! If you dare to kill anyone from the Nacht family, he won’t spare you.”
Robbie rushed over bravely. Standing beside Jamie, he glared at Zara defiantly.
“There’s Great-grandpa too! If he finds out that you’re doing something so horrible, he won’t forgive you!”
“Bad guy! Bad guy!”
Ellie was so terrified that her face turned pale and she burst into tears.
Flapping its wings, Little Fifi mimicked her cries. “Bad guy! Bad guy!”
“Mr. Robinson, Mr. Jamison, please leave! It’s dangerous!”
Marino was so touched that his voice cracked. He shielded the two kids behind him, afraid that they would be affected.
“They’re young but brave.” Looking at the two kids, Zara smirked coldly. “It’s a pity that they’re too dumb to see through the situation.”
“Who are you calling dumb?” Charlotte walked over slowly and stared at her coldly.
“It’s none of your business.” Zara raised her eyebrows frostily. “I didn’t touch the three kids out of courtesy for you. Now, I’m going to kill the bast*rds from the Nacht family. If you still try to intervene, don’t blame me for getting hostile.”
“Hypocrite!” Charlotte was disgusted by her fake pretenses. “You shot them right in front of me so you can force me to intervene, right?”
It was true. Only then could Zara find an excuse to fight with Charlotte. Even if Danrique confronted her about it, she could say that Charlotte had intervened in the Nacht family’s matters first. If she exaggerated Charlotte’s ambiguous relationship with the Nacht family, she could excuse herself from all responsibilities.
“After changing your last name, you’ve become smarter, huh?” Zara smirked. “Since you understand everything, why don’t you leave right away?”
“Ms. Lindberg…” Lupine persuaded her softly, “This evil b*tch is trying to provoke you. Don’t fall for her trap! Let’s leave with the kids first.”
Morgan, who would always chime in, was surprisingly silent. When she saw Marino in danger, she felt sympathetic.
“Mommy, save Mr. Marino!” Jamie tugged Charlotte’s shirt and stifled a choke. “He trains with me every day and is my friend. I don’t want him to die!”
Naturally, Charlotte knew how to weigh the situation, and look at the bigger picture. However, when she met the children’s pleading gazes and thought about the young lives that might be lost, she relented.
“Get into the car first.” Charlotte shot the rest a glance.
Morgan and two female bodyguards immediately carried Jamie and Robbie into the car.
“Mommy…” Jamie stared at Charlotte with tears welling up in his eyes, which were filled with a pleading look.
As Robbie knew that she was in a difficult position, he did not say anything despite his urge to save Marino.
“Trust me.” Charlotte patted Jamie’s head gently. “Be a good boy and get into the car.”
Only then did Jamie enter the car with Robbie…
“Jamie, Robbie, I’m so scared!”
Ellie jumped into their arms when she saw her brothers.
“Don’t be scared! Mommy’s here, so we’ll be fine.”
Robbie quickly hugged her and consoled her patiently.
Meanwhile, Morgan closed the car doors so the kids would not be scared.
After seeing that the kids were safe in the car, Charlotte raised her gun and aimed it at Zara arrogantly. “Looks like this is my business, after all.”
“Interesting!” An exciting look glinted in Zara’s eyes. “Do you know that initially, I thought that you’re too weak to even put up a battle? Now, things are getting so exhilarating! This is truly a battle between two power towers!”
