Chapter 1558qCharlotte grew more anxious the more she thought about it and kept urging Morgan, “Drive faster!”
“This is the fastest I can go, Ms. Lindberg,” Morgan said, almost in tears from nerves herself. “This is a
public road, and there are a lot of other cars and pedestrians here. If I go any faster, we'll get into
trouble.”
“Tell the other family members to go to Garden Villa and pick up the kids,” Charlotte said, beginning to
think of other solutions. “Tell everyone to be there. Now.”
“Okay!”
“Ms. Lindberg, are you saying that that monster is going to do something to the kids?” Morgan said,
panicking. “Mr. Spencer's people would protect them, right? Even in the worst-case scenario, they
should be able to hold out until we get there!”
“Spencer's men won't be able to last that long.”
Charlotte picked up her phone and tried to call Robbie but to no avail.
This only made her more anxious. “Sh*t. They've probably been lying in wait for a long time. I can't
believe they acted right after I signed that contract.”
“It can't be,” Morgan hurriedly said. “Didn't you say that Mr. Lindberg's guys would protect them in
hiding? Nothing will happen to them.”
“They were supposed to, but after what happened today, I'm afraid all of Danrique's guys are helping to
look for Zachary.”
Charlotte was kicking herself inwardly, and she hated herself for taking so long to think of something so
important.She thought revealing to Chris that they were looking for Zachary would result in the mastermind
conducting a search for him too.
Now, however, she realized that that person had only sent a portion of his people to go after Zachary
just to throw her off. The real threat was probably already lying in wait at Garden Villa, just waiting to
get their claws on her children.
“Sh*t!” Morgan said and stepped on the gas pedal harder. “All we can do right now is pray.”
Charlotte picked up her phone and called Gordon, but he wasn't picking up, possibly looking for
Zachary in a place without cell reception.
“Ms. Lindberg, we can't get through to Lupine either,” one of her bodyguards reported urgently.
At that moment, Charlotte was gritting her teeth in anger. She couldn't believe how smart that person
was. He had probably intended to lead the others to an area without reception so that he could ambush
them.
All of this was practically too perfect of a plan.
The more stupid Chris acted, the more she underestimated Jesse.
That was precisely why she had miscalculated everything.
Beep...
Suddenly, Charlotte's phone rang. She picked it up only to see Spencer's name.
Immediately, she answered, “Spencer?”
“What's going on? Did your subordinates come to pick up your kids?” Spencer asked urgently.“Whot's going on? Did your subordinotes come to pick up your kids?” Spencer osked urgently.
“Whot? Someone olreody picked up the kids?” Chorlotte osked urgently. “When? Who wos it? Were
Coin ond Kyle not wotching them?”
“The two of them ond o couple of other subordinotes got token owoy in o long SUV.”
Spencer's voice wos low, but he sounded extremely urgent nonetheless. “Believe me. Whether or not
they're Zochory's kids, I don't wont onything to hoppen to them. Besides, you know I'm on your side.”
“I know,” Chorlotte cut him off ond tried her best to control her emotions. “Listen to me, Spencer. I'll
settle this on my own, but you hove to follow our originol plon. Don't chonge onything becouse of this.”
“Are the kids reolly okoy?”
“I'll do my best to sove them. Besides, Donrique's kids ore there too. There's no woy he would let
onything hoppen to them.”
“Okoy,” Spencer soid, breothing o sigh of relief. “Johonn ond I ore still here ot the compony. Protect
yourself ond the kids.”
“Got it.”

She only picked up ofter o while. In o soft voice, she onswered, “Hello?”
“Noncy, if onything hoppens to my kids, I'm going to drog the entire Gold fomily to hell with me.”“What's going on? Did your subordinates come to pick up your kids?” Spencer asked urgently.
“What? Someone already picked up the kids?” Charlotte asked urgently. “When? Who was it? Were
Cain and Kyle not watching them?”
“The two of them and a couple of other subordinates got taken away in a long SUV.”
Spencer's voice was low, but he sounded extremely urgent nonetheless. “Believe me. Whether or not
they're Zachary's kids, I don't want anything to happen to them. Besides, you know I'm on your side.”
“I know,” Charlotte cut him off and tried her best to control her emotions. “Listen to me, Spencer. I'll
settle this on my own, but you have to follow our original plan. Don't change anything because of this.”
“Are the kids really okay?”
“I'll do my best to save them. Besides, Danrique's kids are there too. There's no way he would let
anything happen to them.”
“Okay,” Spencer said, breathing a sigh of relief. “Johann and I are still here at the company. Protect
yourself and the kids.”
“Got it.”
After hanging up, Charlotte thought about it for a second before calling Nancy.
She only picked up after a while. In a soft voice, she answered, “Hello?”
“Nancy, if anything happens to my kids, I'm going to drag the entire Gold family to hell with me.”
