After ending the call, Ben turned around to check. Just as expected, Taylor’s man was watching him. When they were about to make eye contact, the bodyguard looked away, pretending to admire the scenery.
Ben furrowed his eyebrows. At this rate, the Nacht family will be controlled by the Blackwoods.
Ben just couldn’t understand what Zachary was up to.
Why is he allowing the Blackwoods to behave with such impunity? Is he too sick to think straight?
As the silver Rolls-Royce was on its way home, Morgan received a very long phone call. Once she was done, she explained everything that was going on at the Nacht family to Charlotte.
The summary was that Zachary was making bad decisions because he was sick. Cynthia had taken charge of the household and wreaked havoc everywhere, causing Ellie to be terrified…
Lupine was infuriated when she heard about it. “What is Zachary doing? His hand was bitten by a poisonous snake, not his head. Why did he mess up and allow the enemy into his home?”
“I can’t stand it either.” Morgan suppressed her anger. “Marino mentioned that he only knows what’s going on at the surface but not the details. He only heard about it from his friends. Hence, I’m afraid the reality is likely far worse.”
“Ms. Lindberg, why don’t we bring Mr. Jamison and Ms. Elisa back?” Lupine angrily suggested. “Then we should just leave Zachary to rot.”
“Also, Marino says that Ben wants to meet with you.”
Morgan gave Charlotte a conflicted look. The closer she got to know Marino, the more she knew about what happened two years ago. Hence, her attitude toward the matter had changed entirely.
She had come to believe that the love Charlotte and Zachary shared back then was true. It was just that there were too many misunderstandings that came between them two years ago.
“What’s the point of meeting him?” Lupine snapped. “All that b*stard wants is to beg Ms. Lindberg to help his boss. Has he forgotten how Zachary sabotaged us so badly that the Lindberg Corporation lost hundreds of billions?”
Not daring to say a word, Morgan looked in the rearview mirror to sneak a glance at Charlotte.
Lowering her head, Charlotte remained silent.
Not knowing what was going through her mind, Lupine and Morgan didn’t comment any further.
Back at home, Charlotte came to Robbie’s room and handed him both presents. “I bought you a new computer and handphone. When I’m not around next time, you won’t be bored anymore.”
“Thanks, Mommy.” Despite receiving the presents, Robbie was still upset.
“Robbie, are you missing Jamie and Ellie?” Charlotte asked softly.
“Mmm-hmm.” Robbie nodded.
Over the last few days, he had painstakingly trained the eagle to understand what he was saying. In fact, it could even complete simple tasks at his command.
Unfortunately, despite flying to the Nacht residence a few times, it failed to locate Fifi.
Jamie and Ellie weren’t at home too.
Hence, Robbie figured that Jamie must have taken Fifi to the hospital.
Although Charlotte told him that the worst was over for Ellie and Zachary was doing fine, he was still worried about them since he couldn’t communicate with them. More importantly, he missed them.
“Get yourself changed. I’m sending you over.”
For the sake of the children, Charlotte was going to storm over.
“Huh?’ Robbie thought he had heard wrongly. “Really?”
“Of course.” Pinching his face, Charlotte replied with a smile, “I’m going to get changed too. We’ll leave in half an hour.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Robbie nodded before asking, “But if I go there, what about you?”
“I can visit all of you anytime.” Charlotte let out a smile. “No one can stop me from visiting my children whenever I want.”
“True. You’re right.” Robbie almost sprang up in excitement. “Mommy, wouldn’t it be better if you thought about this earlier?”
“It’s still not too late.” Charlotte let out a smile. “No matter how my relationship with Daddy is, I will never let anyone bully any of you!”
