I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 636 We’re Here to Take Her Home

Freya put on her sunglasses as she exited the studio and entered the Maserati she had parked by the roadside

before driving away. When she arrived at the hotel, she opened the door and saw a man inside. "She isn't accepting

the order."

The man standing before the windows turned around and walked to the couch before sitting down. "Did you find out

the reason?"

"She found out that my parents are from Jamesdon."

The man's fingers paused as he held a cigar between them. Then, he uttered in an amused tone, "She seems to be

quite wary of her surroundings. How did she even find that out?"

Freya snorted, sat opposite the man, and skillfully picked up the cigar and lit it up. Taking a puff, she exhaled the

smoke. "We're unlikely to be able to do anything about them at this point."

Narrowing his eyes, the man explained, "No rush. Our chance has come."

"What?"

"I received news that Charlotte Woodley sneaked out of Jamesdon and is currently in Highside."

Freya frowned at that. "Charlotte Woodley?"

"She is Lachlan Woodley's fiancée and also Charles Woodley's daughter. If anything happens to her in Highside, they

will definitely get into a fight. We'll be able to watch the show by then."

"Charlotte came to Highside on her own. Why would Charles and Lachlan—"

"How did you think a little brat like her overcame the obstacles and arrived at Highside without anyone noticing?"

Freya understood him and chuckled. "So, she was the one I saw in Leanna's studio."

Smoking his cigar, the man replied, "Highside is Aidan's territory. Tell me. If something happens to Charlotte here,

who will take the blame?"

"You can kill two birds with one stone with this method, but will they agree?" she asked.

"His target has always been Aidan and Leanna. Now that I lured the Woodley Family out, they will all get into a fight.

He's eager to watch that scene play out, so why not?"

…

After work, Leanna locked the door and said to Zoe and Charlotte, "Let's go home."

However, a car pulled up before them as soon as they stepped out of the studio. Immediately, Daniel appeared. He

strode over and called out to Zoe.

After a pause, he glanced at Leanna and greeted her. "Hello, Miss McKinney."

Leanna gave him a nod and sensed that he had something to tell Zoe privately, so she said, "I'm going to get some

stuff at the convenience store." While saying that, she dragged Charlotte with her.

Charlotte turned around a few times while walking away. In a soft tone, she asked, "Is that Zoe's boyfriend? Is he a

foreigner?"

"Yeah. He's a mixed-blood."

At the entrance of the studio, Zoe frowned at him and asked tentatively, "W-What's wrong?"

"Something happened in the company abroad, so I must return."

"Is it serious?"

"I'm not sure yet," Daniel answered. "I might have to leave for some time. Will you—"

After hearing that, she immediately replied, "I'll be alright. You can leave."

He nodded and glanced at his watch before glancing at the convenience store. "I'm in a rush now. If Miss McKinney

asks about me, please tell her I'm returning for personal reasons. Don't tell her anything else."

"Oh, sure," Zoe answered in puzzlement.

"I'm leaving now. Contact Elijah if anything happens."

Then, she waved at him. "Drive safe!"

After taking a few steps, Daniel suddenly returned and hugged her in his arms. "I'll be back soon."

Zoe stood mounted to the ground, and she only managed to return to her senses after he left for some time.

After Leanna and Charlotte were done with their purchase, they noticed her standing on the spot in a daze. Leanna

waved her arms before her friend and asked, "What's wrong, Zoe? Where's Daniel?"

Zoe collected herself and answered, "He… went back to Dellshore. He has… personal matters to deal with."

"Personal matters?"

"He didn't say anything specific, but it makes sense that he should head back after staying in Highside for so long."

After a pause, Zoe muttered in a nearly inaudible tone, "He said he'll be back, so he will, right?"

"He will," Leanna spoke in an equally light tone.

…

In the upcoming days, Aidan came home late and left home early. Leanna only knew if he returned when she felt

herself being embraced in his hugs in the middle of the night.

Every day, Leanna, Zoe, and Charlotte would travel to the studio and come home together after work.

Even though Zoe claimed she was delighted that Daniel was no longer around to control her, she occasionally

looked out the window in a daze.

On the other hand, Charlotte was getting the hang of work. In every other respect, she was well-versed, except for

product numbers, which she consistently muddled. Among the three of them, she was the most enthusiastic one.

On their way home, Zoe watched Charlotte skipping around and sighed, "How great it is to be young."

Leanna chuckled and was about to reply when a black car stopped before them. Two men got out of the car and

yanked Charlotte forcefully into the vehicle.

Charlotte struggled with all her might and yelled, "Help! Help me!"

The man uttered in a low voice, "Miss Woodley, it's me. Master sent me to bring you back to Jamesdon."

Ignoring him, she bellowed, "Save me!"

Leanna hurriedly turned to Zoe. "Stay here, Zoe."

Zoe nodded and fished out her phone.

On the other hand, Charlotte struggled hard, attracting many passersby. The two men obviously didn't want to

make things any worse, so they let go of her. So, she took the chance and ran to hide behind Leanna.

"Miss McKinney, we have no ill intentions. We only want to take Miss Woodley home," one of the men explained.

Leanna recognized him. He was the one who tried to take her away from the hotel in Jamesdon. Then, she

protected Charlotte and spat coldly, "Is this all you can do?"

The man went silent before responding, "We… have no choice."

These men had already followed Charlotte the second day she arrived in Highside. However, Aidan's men had

always kept them out of trouble. Since the opportunity had presented itself, they could not let it pass!

Charlotte poked her head out and exclaimed, "Tell my dad I won't go home if he doesn't give up on marrying me to

Lachlan!"

"Miss Woodley, no one in the Woodley Family is allowed to leave Jamesdon."

"I don't care! I won't adhere to such outrageous and unreasonable rules. I'm going to stay here! I will not go

anywhere! Now, leave!"

Before the man could say anything, he noticed the man following Leanna and gave up. With a hand wave, the two

men entered the car and left.
