Seeing they had all left, Charlotte came out of her hiding spot. Gazing at the departing silhouettes of the two
children, her eyes were filled with uncertainty.
Both Lupine and Morgan who were hiding on the stairwell upstairs also emerged awkwardly. They looked at her
cautiously, not knowing what to say.
After a long while, Charlotte regained her senses and left…
Getting on the car, Lupine quietly asked, “Do we head to South Sea villa now?”
“To Northridge.” Charlotte lowered her head with a heavy heart.
“This… Wouldn’t Zachary soon find out that we have not returned to Erihal?” Lupine followed up quietly.
“You took Zachary too lightly,” Charlotte laughed bitterly before adding, “He should have known this!”
“Right.” Lupine refrained from saying more.
“Let Peter go,” Charlotte ordered. “Let him know that Olivia will contact him soon. Also, get her to come to me
when the time comes.”
“Aye.” Lupine immediately acknowledged the order.

before noting, “You think he’ll release Olivia soon?”
“We’re a conniving bunch.” Charlotte laughed coldly. “He should have known that his cover has been blown. Instead
of continuing his charade, he should just come out clean!”
“Then, should we continue our investigation?” Morgan asked.
“Forget it.” Charlotte narrowed her eyes and remarked dangerously, “I’ll wait for him to come before me!”
“Understood!”
…
Meanwhile, Zachary landed at H City airport.
Bruce came to pick him up and reported, “Just around an hour ago, Peter was released.”
“As expected,” Zachary mused before ordering, “Release Olivia!”
“Aye.” Bruce immediately complied.
“After Olivia has been released, she’ll definitely go to Peter. I’m sure Ms. Lindberg will be contacted shortly after. By
then…” Ben cautiously reminded, “I’m afraid those past happenings can’t be concealed anymore.”
“Can’t keep it bottled up forever anyway,” Zachary frowned as he noted, “Right now, she’s probably waiting for me
to confess to her personally…”
“That…”
“The time is not ripe yet.” Zachary felt helpless. “Now that the old man has gotten himself into an accident, all our
plans have to be delayed.”
Ben did not dare to say anything. If Mr. Henry had not gotten into the current predicament, they would have gotten
Dr. Felch back. They had planned to use the old man’s birthday to trick both Zara and Sharon to show up and to
reveal both their past crimes. This was the only way to explain to Charlotte clearly what had happened back then.
Perhaps there was still a thin thread of hope!
However, Mr. Henry’s accident had thrown the whole plan into disarray.
“So do we head to the hospital now?” Bruce asked cautiously.
“Sure,” Zachary muttered succinctly before reminding, “Make sure to keep the media at bay, and don’t let anyone
know about the old man’s accident.”
“Affirmative. Spencer is already on it. No news has been leaked thus far. I’ll continue to monitor.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as Bruce said that, the phone rang – it was a call from Taylor. He passed the phone over to Zachary and
informed, “Mr. Blackwood is on the line.”
Zachary gestured knowingly. Bruce answered the phone in a calm manner before hanging up and reporting his
conversation to Zachary.
“Mr. Blackwood took Sharon to Erihal and sought forgiveness from the Lindberg family. However, they were turned
away by Mr. Lindberg. No matter how much Mr. Blackwood begged, Mr. Lindberg refused to give him a chance.
Now that the Synder Group was facing such a crisis, should no action be taken, bankruptcy was the only outcome
awaiting them. Mr. Blackwood could not get hold of Mr. Henry and could not contact you. The only option left for
him was to contact me. Seems like the Lindberg family has truly devoured the Blackwoods,” Ben mused before
sighing, “Dannique is really ruthless when it comes to matters like this.”
“Did Ms. Lindberg find out about Sharon’s treachery in the first place?” Bruce speculated.
“I don’t think so,” Zachary conjectured calmly before continuing, “If she knew, I’m afraid she won’t leave it at that!”
“Who knew that merely putting a price on her head would result in such a chain of events. If she were to find out
about Sharon’s attempt on her in T Nation, including causing the death of Mrs. Berry… I shudder at the thought…”
Ben could feel a chill down his spine. After all, the current Charlotte was definitely no pushover.
