Drastic Turn Of Events
Charlotte halted before ordering swiftly, “Go to the restaurant and find out if the buyer is still there!”
“Huh?” Lupine was taken aback. “The buyer?”
“Hurry!” Charlotte ordered anxiously.
“On it.” Lupine left to carry out her orders.
Charlotte’s hands trembled as she tightened her grip on the cup. She belatedly realized the buyer’s
image and temper resembled Francesco when she recalled Jade and Emma’s words.
She had guessed more than once that someone might’ve taken Zachary away at the fire. Otherwise,
they would’ve discovered his remains.
She even hoped it would be Francesco. if it was her, then Zachary would be safe and sound. My
fantasy could be true!
That thought alone made her extremely excited. As long as Zachary is still alive, all the troubles are
worth it!
“Ms. Lindberg, the car’s ready. I’ll depart now.”
Lupine had changed her clothes, preparing to head out.
“Wait up!” Charlotte called out. “Bring Jade and Emma with you. They’ve seen that buyer before. If you
can’t find him, go find the manager and staff.”
“Got it.” Lupine nodded. “But you’re going to the company soon. If I’m not with you…”
“If you can’t come back in time, I’ll ask Morgan to keep me company,” Charlotte replied anxiously.
“Hurry, do as told!”
“Okay.”
Right after Lupine left, Morgan came in to report, “Mr. Nacht has finished the treatment this morning.
He’s throwing a tantrum in his room and refusing to go to work.”
“Tell him he has to go get a checkup at the hospital if he refuses to go to work. After two days of
treatment, it’s time for a checkup to find out its effect.”
Charlotte knew how to make him comply.
“Yes, Ms. Lindberg.” Morgan left to convey her message.
Indeed, “Zachary” did as told obediently. “I think I can do it. Work is more important.”
“Yes, that’s right,” said Morgan happily. “Have some rest and prepare yourself. We shall leave at nine.”
“Zachary” nodded unwillingly.
Beaming, Morgan returned to Charlotte to report the good news.
“All right. Go get ready now,” came Charlotte’s calm reply. She then resumed eating her breakfast.
“Got it.”
Though it was only seven in the morning, Northridge was already bustling.
“Zachary” was forced to wake up at five for his treatment.
Charlotte got up early to deal with work before having breakfast downstairs. As she read the news and
emails on her tablet, her brows scrunched up.
For the past two days, the mastermind had been busy creating havoc at the hospital and trying to
spread rumors about Charlotte and Michael, but to no avail.
Today, she was sure they’d take action ahead of time.
She could only take one step at a time, as she had no idea what their plan was.
Her initial worry was gone after receiving a clue about Zachary. Now, she had the confidence to face
any obstacles in her path.
Right then, Lupine’s phone call arrived. “Ms. Lindberg, as reported by Morgan, the restaurant is empty.
The buyer is nowhere to be seen. I contacted the owner, and he claims that the buyer is a dangerous
figure. Terrified of him, they escaped overnight. They didn’t even call the police in fear that the buyer
will take revenge on them.”
“Go to the owner in person to find out the exact situation,” Charlotte ordered. “Also, go to the buyer’s
accommodation to see if there are any clues.”
“Got it. I’ll get to it at once.”
