At this moment, she was overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions inside.
Having escaped the jaws of death and still being able to see one’s beloved again, must be the greatest blessing in
life.
“Charlotte…” Zachary’s voice was shaking when he called out her name. With great difficulty, he extended his
stiffened arms toward her.
The tearful Charlotte wanted very much to throw herself into his arms but when she took a step forward, her
strength failed her…
“Charlotte!”
“Ms. Lindberg!”
Raina promptly attended to Charlotte’s wounds and had her admitted to the hospital.
Zachary held on fast to Charlotte’s hand all the way and refused to let go. Seeing her covered with blood all over
pained him and also filled him with regret…

He regretted not returning earlier and not getting everything set up sooner, and lamented his own failure to protect
her, leaving her to endure so much pressure and face such tribulations on her own…
He thus swore to himself that no matter what the future holds, he was never letting go of her hand. They must be
together forever and never apart…
Lupine and Ben accompanied alongside while they made their way to the hospital, while Bruce stayed behind to set
things back in order.
Investigations revealed that Spencer’s traffic accident was brought about when he was waylaid on the way to the
office. In spite of it, he came away from it mostly unscathed as Zachary had already arranged for someone to
protect him in secret, and had recovered since.
Johann and those board members were relieved. Though the police needed time to look into the case, the
Department of Commerce also needed time to assess the situation as well. The return of the real Zachary Nacht,
however, filled their hearts with renewed hope.
They had confidence now that the Nacht Group would hold together and Divine Corporation would not fall to the
wayside, and things would only start looking up from here on out.

Charlotte had suffered numerous external injuries. Though some were serious, none were life-threatening.
It was the extended periods of exhaustion, coupled with excessive loss of blood, that brought about her fainting.
As he held her hand tightly and kept watch by her bedside, Zachary was all torn up inside.
Once Raina was done attending to Charlotte’s wounds, she gave Zachary a run-down of the current situation.
Things were being sorted out at the company and it was being managed just fine. However, Chris got away while
Francesco had disappeared as well…
Finally, she said with a heavy heart. “With your ailment not fully cured and Francesco nowhere to be found, what
shall we do, Mr. Nacht?”
“Don’t worry. She’d come calling, eventually.” Zachary was conversely stoic about the whole affair.
“That’s good to know,” Raina breathed in relief.
“Go look into the company’s surveillance system. See whether Danrique had come by,” Zachary instructed.
“Huh?” Raina was very surprised.

“Francesca went after Chris when he fled. Logically speaking, with her skills, there was no way Chris could have
eluded her. I suppose it must have been the appearance of Danrique that led her to take off…” Zachary analyzed.
“I see. I’d get right on it.” Off went Raina to follow up.
At this moment, Bruce hurried over. “Everything has been settled, Mr. Nacht. We’ve already weeded out all those
people that Jesse had embedded inside the company. Now, the group is staffed only by our own people and all their
posts have been reinstated.”
“Good.” Zachary nodded. “What about Robbie?”
“I’ve gotten into contact with Sean. He’d brought Robbie over to Mr. Lindberg’s, and said that he’d liaise with Ms.
Lindberg before sending him back later,” Bruce said.
Hearing that put Zachary’s brow in a taut furrow.
“Try to figure out where they’re staying.”
“Huh?” Bruce did not understand why that had to be done.
“By not sending Robbie back directly, I suppose that Sean means to try to trade Robbie for Francesco.
“For him to make this trip to H City during this critical period for the Lindberg family shows how much he values
Francesco. This time, he must surely be seeking to bring her back with him. He knew that Francesco must be in
contact with Charlotte and me, and figured that it might, perhaps, be easier for us to reach her. That’s why he had
kept Robbie by his side. He has to be waiting for us to send him Francesco in exchange…”q
