Raina sighed a breath of relief and informed, “Mr. Nacht simply wants to know how the kids are doing.”
Charlotte nodded slightly without saying a word.
“Hand the phone over to Charlotte,” ordered Zachary.
“Understood,” replied Raina before she handed her phone to Charlotte and said, “Mr. Nacht wants to talk to you, Ms. Lindberg.”
“What?” asked Charlotte in an icy tone after she answered the call.
“Do you know that Danrique is in H City?” asked Zachary to get right to the point.
“Huh?” blurted Charlotte fearfully. It was obvious that she had no idea.
“Please take the kids to Southridge. I’ll head over right now,” said Zachary.
As Zachary spoke, Ben had Marino turn the steering wheel and head over to Rokan Hill.
Charlotte hesitated over the phone. She had just gotten back together with the kids, so she was reluctant to send them back…
I never received any news about how Danrique is here, so who knows? Maybe Zachary is lying.
“I’ll have to verify the news,” said Charlotte before she covered the speaker and instructed, “Lupine, look into this matter…”
Charlotte hadn’t finished speaking before the car suddenly swerved and stopped.
The kids screamed in fear and almost fell from the seat. Fortunately, Lupine and the others managed to keep the kids safe in time.
“Morgan, what are you…?”
Charlotte was stunned before she finished speaking. A luxurious car was parked right in front of them, and it showed up out of nowhere.
“Ms. Lindberg, i-it’s your brother’s car,” reported Morgan in a trembling voice as her face paled.
“What happened? Take the kids to my place for now, Charlotte…” said Zachary nervously.
“It’s too late for that,” replied Charlotte while frowning before she hung up.
“Is that really Mr. Lindberg?”
Raina got so scared that she turned pale. Rumor has it that Mr. Lindberg’s bloodlust is intense, and he is cruel. If he comes after the kids…
“What’s wrong, Mommy?” asked Robbie, who had come around and was staring nervously at Charlotte.
“Did someone bar our path? Is that the bad guy from the other day? I’ll call Daddy to come and beat them up,” suggested Jamie.
“It’s not them,” replied Charlotte quickly before she cooed, “Be good, Jamie, and don’t be rude, okay? We have to be polite. Wait here. I’ll go check things out.”
After saying her piece, Charlotte turned to Lupine and instructed, “Keep the kids safe!”
“Understood,” replied Lupine in a trembling voice. She knew just how terrifying Danrique could be when he got angry.
Raina quickly moved next to the kids. She also sent a text message to Zachary to ask for help.
“Hurry!” urged Zachary as he gripped the phone.
“The car is already accelerating….”
“Go faster!”
“Understood!”
Charlotte approached the luxurious car and greeted in a fearful tone, “Danrique!”
The window rolled down and a pair of eyes that exuded an icy aura slowly shifted upward. The guy looked into Charlotte’s eyes and commented, “Charlotte, you acted up.”
One short sentence was all it took to send a chill down Charlotte’s spine and get her worried.
“I didn’t mean to keep it a secret from you, Danrique. I was just…”
“Let’s head home for now. We don’t want the kids to be frightened.”
His soft voice sounded even, but it still instilled fear.
Danrique waved his hand a little and got the window to roll back up. After that, the car drove right to Northridge.
Charlotte regained her footing and turned around to get in the car.
“Mommy, what’s wrong? Who was that? Is he really that scary?” asked Robbie immediately when he noticed how pale Charlotte looked.
“It’s fine,” answered Charlotte. She was already trying her best to keep herself in control, but she still couldn’t hide her fear.
“Ms. Lindberg, why don’t we stop the car at the side of the road for a while? I can take the kids to Southridge…” suggested Raina carefully.
“It’s too late for that. Don’t let him find out that you work for the Nacht family,” warned Charlotte as she frowned at Raina.
