“This is my home. Why would there be security cameras?” Zachary finally spoke. “Before I could say
anything, the both of you started hurling accusations. What are you trying to show?”
“You…” Infuriated, Morgan turned toward Charlotte.
“Looks like you’re trying to protect her?” Charlotte handed Ellie to Lupine before turning her attention to
Zachary. “Now that there’s a stepmother, you no longer care for the children.”
“What did you say?” Zachary furrowed his eyebrows.
“In that case, I’ll take the children with me.”
Not bothered to argue further, Charlotte gestured with her hand. The next moment, her bodyguards
picked up the three children and prepared to leave.
“Charlotte Lindberg, stop where you are!” Zachary bellowed. “Do you think this is the Lindberg residence
where you can do as you wish? The children are Nachts. They are my children!”
“I gave birth to them, so they’re mine.” Charlotte remained defiant. “Ever since the children stayed with
you, they have repeatedly fallen sick and gotten injured. Since you’re unable to protect them as their
father, you should just return them to me.”
“Who says I can’t protect them?”
“Why did Ellie fall sick the moment she arrived?”
“She was poisoned at your place.”
“Stop arguing!” Robbie interrupted angrily.
Suddenly, Ellie barfed loudly and vomited all over Morgan.
“My God, Ellie!” Morgan exclaimed in panic.
“Ellie!” Charlotte and Zachary rush over at once.
Holding Ellie in her arms, Charlotte examined her anxiously. “Ellie, what happened to you? Don’t scare
me, all right?”
“Why is this happening?”
Zachary panicked as it was the exact same situation as the first time she fell sick.
“Mommy, it feels terrible. Boohoo…”
After complaining in between her sobs, Ellie continued to throw up.
“Ellie…” Robbie and Jamie were seized with fright.
“Let’s get her to the hospital now!” Charlotte was filled with desperation.
“Step aside, there’s a doctor here.” Taylor pushed Cynthia forward at once.
“Let me see,” Cynthia signed.
Pouncing on Cynthia’s neck, Charlotte pinned her to the ground and screamed hysterically, “If anything
happens to my daughter, I’ll slaughter your entire family!”
Cynthia’s eyes were filled with fear as she could suddenly feel death breathing down her neck.
“What are you doing? Let go of her.”
Taylor wanted to stop her, but Lupine shoved him aside. The other medical staff stayed away, barely
daring to breathe.
“Charlotte, calm down!” Zachary pulled Charlotte’s hand back and anxiously persuaded her, “Release
her and let her treat Ellie first. Or else, she’ll die!”
Gradually, Charlotte moved her hands away. Pinching her cheeks, she gritted her teeth and warned,
“Listen well, I don’t care if you want Zachary. But if you harm my children, I will carve out your flesh piece
by piece. Do you understand?”
“Mmm…” Trembling in fear, Cynthia nodded repeatedly.
“Now, treat her at once.” Charlotte pulled her back up.
Just when Cynthia was about to fall back down, Taylor quickly supported her.
After Morgan carried Ellie back into her room, the rest of the female bodyguards kept watch as Cynthia
treated Ellie.
“It’s them! It must be them!” Clenching his fists, Jamie pointed at Freya.
“Jamie, what did you see?” Robbie questioned further.
“They were forcing medicine on Ellie. When I kicked the bowl away, they even wanted to hit me.”
Pointing angrily at Freya, he declared, “They must have tortured Ellie, that’s why Ellie turned out that
way!”
Everyone turned to their attention toward Freya.
“Why would I…” Freya desperately explained, “Given how sick Ms. Elisa was, she needed her
medication. I was just coaxing her to take it. I didn’t force it on her in any way. Also, I wouldn’t dare to hit
Mr. Jamison too-”
