Charlotte became even more agitated after hearing what Zachary said. She urged, “Then we have to fly
over right now!”
At that moment, the managers of the airport rushed over.
Zachary was discussing the matter with them while Ben was having their people prep the private jet.
Charlotte was panicking as she watched from the side. Lupine, however, called her at that moment to
inform, “Ms. Lindberg, our private jet is ready. It can take off from H City in one hour.”
“That’s great news. We’ll head over right away!”
Charlotte shot one look at Zachary before she snuck out of the place with Morgan and the others.
“Are we leaving without Mr. Nacht?” asked Morgan softly.
“He will just get in my way. I refuse to show her any mercy this time,” replied Charlotte. The mere thought
of how Zachary’d react annoyed her.
“That Sharon really should die a horrible death, and we can’t let her off so easily. Don’t worry, I’ll drive to
H City as quickly as possible.”
“We must reach our destination within the hour. There can be no delay, not even for a second!”
“Understood.”
Charlotte led her people and sped over to H City’s airport.
Lupine had already had the others deliver everybody’s travel documents over by then. She even
contacted their people in T Nation to get them to keep an eye on Sharon.
Charlotte specifically instructed, “Monitor discreetly. Don’t let her hurt Ellie. Wait until I am there. I will
deal with this in person.”
“Understood. I’ve already told them that.”
Lupine had always been considerate and worked diligently. She might have been standing guard in H
City the entire time, but she had also been exchanging information and updates with Morgan. She
prepped the private jet in H City as soon as she learned how things were going at Wildefield International
Airport. All that was done in case things didn’t go their way.
Her diligence paid off.
Charlotte led her people and hopped onto the plane. Zachary called at that moment and asked, “Where
are you? I got the private jet ready, and we can take off in an hour.”
“I’ve already boarded the plane,” replied Charlotte icily, “I will rescue Ellie and bring her home safely. You
don’t need to go anymore.”
“Charlotte…”
Charlotte hung up before Zachary could finish his sentence.
Zachary gripped his phone and sighed exasperatedly. She still doesn’t believe me and worries that I’d
get in her way. That is why she secretly left and is rushing to T Nation in advance.
“I thought they went to get the private jet ready. Who would’ve thought that they’d move faster than us?”
said Ben softly to offer some comfort. He added, “It’ll be fine, though. We’re all just too concerned and
want to rescue Ellie.”
“Go talk to the airport managers again. Try to prepone departure,” ordered Zachary immediately.
“Understood,” replied Ben before he went to do just that.
Marino asked in confusion, “Ms. Lindberg deliberately abandoned us here, so should we just stay still
and prevent pissing her off?”
“Oh, what do you know?” growled Zachary angrily.
Marino tilted his head down immediately. He didn’t dare to say another word.
Just then, Ben called and informed, “They compromised once more and allowed us to take off half an
hour earlier. However, that is the best they can do.”
“That’s fine,” replied Zachary as he walked toward the boarding gate. As he did so, he dialed the number
to get T Nation’s police forces involved.
Ben, Marino, and the others followed closely behind.
Ben saw how Marino seemed nervous, so the former explained, “Mr. Nacht is only that nervous because
he worries that Ms. Lindberg will kill Sharon in a fit of anger.”
“What’s there to be worried about?” asked Marino, who was even more confused, “That vile b*tch
should’ve died ages ago. None of this would’ve happened if she was dealt with earlier.”
“You really are simple-minded,” growled Ben while frowning, “Now’s not the time to kill Sharon. Our main
priority is to figure out who the person helping her is.”
“Oh yeah! If we kill her, our only lead will die with her,” blurted Marino as revelation hit him.
“Killing Sharon is easy, but the mastermind who helped her is another issue entirely,” added Ben, “We
have no idea who that person is, so we have no idea what kind of sh*ts to anticipate and prevent.”
“That’s true, but… why don’t we just tell Ms. Lindberg all that directly, then?” asked Marino again.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have the time to do so. Besides, Ms. Lindberg is too angry to listen to us now, so
it is crucial that we hurry over.”
