Chapter 1273
“Should we go check up on him, Ms. Lindberg?” asked Lupine softly.
Charlotte tilted her gaze down and remained quiet for a few seconds before she finally stepped forward to leave.
She said, “Unnecessary gestures will only further break his heart. It's better if we just rip the band-aid off. Let's go.”
Lupine didn't reply. She simply followed Charlotte's orders.
Avril led everyone down the stairs to where the guards had already pulled the car up. The keys were still in the
ignition, and the car was running.
“Goodbye, Ms. Lindberg,” greeted Avril politely as she bowed to Charlotte.
Charlotte bowed back. She shifted her gaze to the second floor where Louis' room was located.
He was staring at her from the windows in his room, even though his wrist was still bleeding. Two nurses were at his
side and tending to his wound.
Sherlyn and a few other maids had him surrounded and were helping him out as well.
They were too far apart, so Charlotte couldn't see Louis' expression nor could she bid him goodbye. All she could do
was turn around and get in the car with guilt burning inside her.

Charlotte turned over to see Robert standing by the door with his hands behind his back. Hatred donned his face
when he threatened, “Someday, you will pay back everything you owe us.”
Charlotte didn't reply. She simply bowed with her head down before she got into the car.
As the car traveled down the road, Charlotte checked on Louis via the rearview mirror. That was when she saw that
he was kneeling on the floor and crying so much that he was trembling.
She couldn't hear his voice, but she could sense his hopelessness and devastation.
Her gaze tilted down, and a drop of tear rolled down her cheek.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't hurt at all.
Sherlyn was responsible for most of the damage done, and Diana had further messed things up. However, it was
possible that none of that would've happened if Charlotte had been firm in rejecting Louis.
Lupine couldn't help sighing, either. “Sir Louis truly is an innocent bystander in all this,” commented Lupine.
“Let's pray that he'll grow and become stronger after this entire ordeal. It could turn out to be a good thing for him
because he might never grow up without experiencing something like this,” added Morgan, who was feeling
sorrowful as well.
“I wonder how Diana is right now,” murmured Jade, “I overheard a maid saying that they locked her in the
basement and forced fed her the after pill.”
“Serves her right. It's obvious that she wants to use underhanded methods like these to get pregnant with Sir Louis'
child and change her fate. There is no way Lady Sherlyn would let her have that,” said Emma who had usually been
quiet.
“That is so stupid. One should always know their own place,” concluded Lupine.
“What did Sir Robert mean when he said those words just before we left?” asked Morgan. The more she thought
about it, the more worried she became, so she asked, “Ms. Lindberg, was he threatening you?”
“Perhaps,” answered Charlotte while frowning deeply. She later instructed, “Check your phones immediately to see
if we can get any signals. Call Gordon and have him start prepping everything. We must leave Pillere as quickly as
possible.”
“Understood,” replied Lupine as she turned on her phone. She then added, “We still can't get any signals. It's likely
we'll have to leave the castle's grounds before we can reach anyone else.”
Morgan sped up and drove out of the place soon after.
It took some time before they could make a call. Lupine was quick to dial Gordon's number. Gordon picked up soon

“Gordon, it's me,” informed Lupine hurriedly, “We just left the castle, and Ms. Lindberg is asking you to prep
everything quickly. We have to leave Pillere right away.”
“I am always ready and can start making the necessary arrangements right now. We'll meet at the airport.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Lupine made another call to get the private jet ready.
“We're finally leaving,” said Jade before she sighed a breath of relief and added, “I thought Sir Robert would've sent
someone to chase after...”
“That f*cking a*shole is cruel and going back on his words!” interrupted Morgan angrily as she checked via the
rearview mirror.
“Speed up,” instructed Charlotte calmly.
“Understood,” replied Morgan. She stepped on the gas and sped up like crazy to try to lose them.
“Shoot!” blurted Lupine, who suddenly thought about something important, “Do you think Sir Robert would have his
men stationed at the airport?”
“Call Gordon and tell him not to go to the airport. Instead, he is to wait for my orders in the villa,” ordered Charlotte
quickly and without hesitation.
“Understood,” replied Lupine before she called Gordon again.
